Thanks Nicholas. You've convinced me. I'll put the native podcast app in the bin. The only reason I was still using it was because Apple fixed it for a while along the lines of Downcast. But now the syncing thing with iTunes is getting silly. Cheers Lisette On 29/09/2013, at 7:03 PM, Nicholas

Well, first let me say that I know the audible app has had a lot of updates, and I probably haven't used it since January. I used it then because I was on holiday away from my Mac, but wanted to listen to a book that was only just released on audible. I was very glad to have the app then. One f

HI, Downcast on the Mac works really well for me. I really liked podcasts in iTunes, but the surprising syncing problems between my Mac and iPhone with Apple's native apps made me try Downcast. Syncing between Downcast on my Mac and iPHone works surprisingly well. I won't say there's absolutely

It's a shame. I've often wished there was a way to airplay to my Mac. It seems to be an oversight to me that you can AirPlay from a Mac and to loads of devices including an Apple TV. Sometimes I'd like to play movies from an iOS device on the larger screen of my Mac so that sighted friends can e

Hi all, I googled this, but had no luck. Is it possible to send audio to the Mac from an iOS device by having the Mac act as either an Airplay or bluetooth speaker? I found two apps, but one (Dialog) is for calls only, and the other (Banana TV) is long since abandoned. To be clear, I want to sen

And just for the record, you certainly can sync your audible books through iTunes. This is what I do all the time as I much prefer the iPhone's native Music player to the audible app, plus it's faster downloading to my Mac than to my iPhone. But this might change now since some of the annoying c
