New iTunes Podcast App

[maikusan]

After having tried to sync the playlists containing all the Audio Blogswith the new iTunes Podcast app and failed on both iPhone and iPad mini, as suggested I deleted the Podcast App and reset up the sync using only iTunes. I now have the Audio Blogs back in iTunes but no longer is the text of each lesson available within iTunes as was the case before. What has happened, and how can this be remedied.

Because the pdf documents of each lesson no longer seem to work on iPhone or iPad mini (all text in Japanese is missing) the result is that I now have no means of reading the text of each lesson.

Can you help please

Hi M-san,

I apologize for the delay. I've got an answer from our technical team.
PDF documents work fine on iPhone and iPad mini (all text in Japanese is there). It'd be great if you could send us an email to describing the issue better and telling us your iPhone and iPad mini information so they can investigate your case more specifically.

As for the issues with the iTunes Podcast App, I'm afraid there will be no fix for this for now.
We'll be waiting for your email.

Hi Paloma,

I had to abandon the 'Books' App and have moved over to the Kindle App. Everything seems to work fine if I use that that.

However, it's a real nuisance that the text of each lesson no longer shows in the Podcast App as it did in the iTunes Music App. Before, it was possible to do a lesson and read the notes from the same App but because iTunes seems to take any podcasts (Audio Blogs, Lessons etc.) by default and put them in the Podcast App, this particularly valuable function that was integral to the Japanese Pod 101 experience is now lost. I have to hop around between the Podcast App and the documents in the Kindle App.

Best

M.
