Hi.

Ok, so you can call me a control freak, but I'm having some issues with podcasts.
First of all, podcasts for iOS won't let me delete podcasts or playback positions.
I tried turning the subscribed switch to off and deleting the podcast from the list, but when I uninstall and reinstall podcasts, my subscriptions and playback positions appear again.
So, does anyone know how to remove my podcast subscriptions and playback positions from iCloud?
Secondly, why isn't iTunes on my computer syncing podcasts from iCloud? I'm signed into my apple ID on iTunes but it acts like I have no podcasts.
So, this may sound kind of silly, but it's driving me crazy that I don't have full control over my podcasts in the Podcasts app or iTunes.
So, any help with this?

Check both the Preferences in iTunes and the Settings in Podcasts for iOS that syncing is enabled. It might be a good idea to organise your podcasts using iTunes first, sync across, and then pick it up. I now have mine working reasonably well, although it does sometimes forget, or move the playback position back from my phone to my Mac instead of the other way around. Still, it is now much better than it was.

Just myself, as usual.

Well, screw Apples podcast and podcast feature in iTunes. try Downcast instead. Downcast can be confusing on the Mac though, but it's very much accessible on both mac and IOS.

Best regards SLJ.
