iPhone 4 iPod Song Progress Bar Won’t Appear

Apple – Support – Discussions – iPhone 4 iPod Song Progress Bar Wont ….  Phil in Seattle figured it out:

This issue was really bugging me and I thought I would post my solution. Normally when you’re listening to your iPod on your iPhone 4, you can tap the album art in “now playing” and the progress bar would show up letting you to fast forward/rewind to a specific point in the song. Well, I lost where I was in a podcast I was listening to and couldn’t scan back to where I was, and it was very frustrating.

If you google this issue, you’ll find posts telling you it’s user error, which is even more frustrating. What had happened is that I had overloaded my iPod and I had somehow gotten over capacity on space (how is that possilble?!) and I didn’t notice until I sync’d up with iTunes and the available space said I was over my 14.01 gigs. All I did was remove some songs and delete some pod casts and it started working.
