iPhone 3.0 Podcast Sync Issues
I believe I am having a Podcast problem. Positions in the heard audio are not remembered when syncing. Also the sync does not remove the podcast from the phone. It in fact continues to mark it as a new download in both iTunes and the iPhone.
Which I guess makes sense if it doesn’t know the last heard position from the phone at all.
I’ve seen this bug before, earlier then 2.2.1 I think. It was not in any of the OS 3.0 beta builds. I am now running a 3GS with a restore/backup carried from my 3G.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I’ve tried different ways to reset the sync without luck. I’d be interested to know if anyone else is having similar issues? Some searching of Twitter and Google reveals some hints that I am not an isolated case.
As a possibly related aside I have also noticed that if I delete an app from the phone, it continues to exists in iTunes. When I download the app again and sync, the app is removed from the phone.
Checking the app manually in the Applications tab works around that one.
