- Start date
File a radar.
You mean the option to Flag an email in addition to Mark as Unread? Since iOS 5 debuted.
Really? All my email accounts sync their read status regardless of where I check the mails on iPhone, iPad, web, Outlook. I have various Gmail, Hotmail and my work emails synced.

Upgrade your email accounts.
What? Are you using a POP account?

Is this recently added then? I always check whenever I update the app to see if they've fixed it, but the version I'm running does not have that feature. I haven't updated with the most recent update that came out though, but it must be a new addition since mine won't do it.
Not sure if this is new or not, but when you search for something in spotlight, the apps listed will show you what folder you have them in. Just the folder name to the far right of each app listed. I rarely use spotlight so i'm not sure if that's new, but neat nonetheless. I still hate how the pages dots don't smoothly transition like they do in Lion/Mountain Lion on OS X. Transparent black status bar on the homepage also needs to go imo.
Hold the phone, how do you do this? I have gmail, hotmail and uni accounts that don't sync at all.
I'll try and roam around on my email settings, see if I can find something.
it's new. nice little addition

Folders showing up in spotlight has been in since the first iOS 6 beta.
I don't think it's even possible to set up either gmail or hotmail to not be IMAP, unless you've messed up something in the process of setting up those account on one of your devices. So long as they're set properly, anything you do in one place should always sync up with every other place you access that email.
I have multiple gmail accounts, and previously had one hotmail account, on my iPhone, and that's absolutely the way it always worked.
University account, that's another story. I'm not sure how your university has their email stuff set up.
I just tried, and I get absolutely no note as to what folder the apps are in. You mean in the search that you get for swiping left of the home screen, right?
Do you use iCloud mail for that?

anybody still taking in any late folks for the ios 6 beta? my phone is stuck in this non-activation shit and i heard 6 does away with it. im willing to pay!!
PM mescalineeyes, pretty sure he still has slots open.
It's something the developer decides. You can actually start any video while the app switcher is up by swiping right to bring up the player controls and pressing play.
MThanded: Only if Apple depreciates it. And I hope they do. Google should be writing Google's apps.
Considering the state of Google and Apple's relationship, I doubt it.

As soon as Apple makes its own youtube competitor.
Can you play HD youtube video on the IPad 3?

Maybe at the point when Apple fully abstracts video, if they can get away with it, you'll get a very general app that anonymously sources YouTube/Vimeo/et cetera and searches both of them.
The app already displays HD video on the iPad (and 1080p on the Apple TV), so it's not like Apple doesn't continue to work on it with Google. It's mainly the iPhone/iPod Touch version of the app that sucks.

Of course. You can download anything over wifi. Have you not been able to or something?
Is anyone having trouble with the auto-downloading feature in the Podcasts app where it sometimes downloads random, non-new podcasts? I think it starts doing it when I disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi but I'm not sure. This app is nearly useless to me now since that was the one big feature I was looking forward to but it annoys the shit out of me when I see podcasts downloaded that I didn't want downloaded and that aren't new.
Edit: Eh, I was a little too harsh on the Podcasts app. Auto-download is fucked but I turned it off and I appreciate that the rest of the app gives a better podcast experience than the Music app.

I think he's asking to enable automatic downloading of podcasts but ONLY via WiFi.
As far as I can tell, the Podcasts app only downloads new podcasts automatically when the app is running. It's dumb and I'm just going to go back to managing all my podcasts through iTunes.
If you sort your podcasts by newest first, then when playing the episodes, the newest ones will play before the oldest, so it's best to sort from oldest first. But then if you have Subcriptions on, then it displays every single episode from the RSS feed. Combine this with sorting from oldest first and you have to scroll down the list through dozens and often hundreds of old episodes to get to the new ones you haven't listened to yet.
There are some neat tricks and things that are done better now, but overall this app is so poorly thought out and so half baked that it boggles the mind how it was released in this state.

Whoa! Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but TomTom has announced that they intend to update their maps on a daily basis. That means it's possible for iOS maps to show when roads are closed, work is being done on them, and so on. Apparently this use to be a premium service that TomTom offered for some devices, but now it's going to be free.

that's very cool. Now if only we could download map data to the phone. Hell, I'd pay for it.
Yeah. The more I use the app the more I think it sucks because of how buggy it is. Found a new bug where there are sometimes duplicate podcasts in a list when the subscription is on even though those duplicates are not there for the same podcast in iTunes. Also, if Apple ever fixes auto-download where it works even remotely right, they should separate it from the subscriptions toggle so we can change between having every single podcast showing or only the ones you have downloaded show without it affecting the auto-downloading of new podcasts.
I actually like the YouTube app better than the web app because it's simpler and loads everything faster. It's lacking a little in comment options and maybe some other minor things that I can't think of but the things that are important to me the native app does better.
There should also be a "download/stream only over wifi" option... I don't want to accidentally hit the next button and have it stream a 50mb podcast over 3G. I also went back to just manually managing podcasts with itunes/music.
Do you still have to press "Load more results"? It really annoys me on my gf's iPad.
Probably an iOS 6 issue.
I recall seeing that the "HQ" button was activated yesterday. So probably.
i'm running iOS 5.1.1 on my iPad
Sorry, forgot this was the iOS6 thread and not the iOS general thread
Oh! Then I guess all I can say is that I'm not having the same issue.
[edit] Actually, and this might be obvious, take note of whether you're in incognito mode.

Indeed. That's not even an iOS thing, that's an IMAP thing. If that's not working properly, something is configured FUBAR.
this isn't true if he/she set it up a long time ago. for some reason it was setup as pop in my mac mail app up until a few days ago lol. i added it to mac mail in 2008 or 2009. i remember that there wasn't a GMAIL easy-setup when i added it into mail back then, so that's probably why it defaulted to pop. i believe it's impossible now though because indicating it's a google account autocompletes the setup.
To be fair, I could be totally wrong about hotmail (I was never a user of it), but I guess I just always assumed GMAIL was IMAP only. Huh.
Oh, and the new Apple Podcasts app is terrible. This thing isn't going to kill podcast support through the Music app, is it? If it does, I'm going to rage.

I believe the podcast app does kill support in the music app. Not now of course, but in iOS 6 I think it's gone from the music app.
maybe not immediately, but i can't see any logical reason for apple to include podcasts in the music app and in the podcast app. i bet we will lost it in the music app when apple releases the revamped itunes later this year, which could be seperating out functions into separate applications.
