My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again

Itunes doesn't update ipod classic

My ipod is recognized but itunes doesn't update the new tunes to the ipod. ?? Recently updated OS to Windows 7.

I have had this happen as well. What I had to do was sync the iPod to remove the album and the resync the album back to the Classic. I've had this happen with my iPhones as well. Must be a bug in either the current OS or iTunes versions.

You need iTunes 10.0 or greater to update your phone...iTunes isn't confused at all. If you're on a Mac, you'll need OS X 10.5.8 or greater to update iTunes to 10.0 or greater.

Itunes doesn´t update the media information on my mp3 files

I hjust moved all my media library to a "My book" external drive. I had to rebuild my entire library (throug shift + init itunes) but now I tunes is neither updating my library nor the multimedia information of my pm3 files. For example when i update the albun info, I tunes would change the file from it´s location and create a folder with the new album name inside the folder with the artist name. I have already gone to preferences and in the advanced tab activated the option "Keep ITunes music folder organized". Can somebody help me?

doesn't update the files or delete them
First off it is not supposed to delete them, just
because you delete them from iTunes. I am not sure
it created new folder names after the initial
download either.
Is the "iTunes keep my library organized" option in
the preferences menu checked?
Whenever i deleted a file form my library Itunes would ask if i wanted to delete the file from the library or also from the hard disk. now it doesn´t do it and it just remove the file from the itunes library.
The option is checked.

HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes. It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for. How do I get pass this dilemma?

I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

ITUNES doesn't always load up and some artwork missing!!

I have all my music on en external hard-drive and the itunes and artwork on my c:drive, occasionally when I open itunes it says importing itunes, this goes on for a while then it says it couldn'nt find the file and has renamed it itunes library damaged, it then opens itunes with all my songs but with alot of the artwork missing, this happens about once a fortnight - aarrhhh, why??
Thanks

Ok, so I went and found the album I was looking for and dragged it in, but the image is pretty poor. Is that the best we can hope for? Why can't Apple allow us to drag the image from iTunes store? Or better yet let us import the artwork without buying the album since I owned the album/cd long before there was any such thing as Apple, iTunes or iPods?

ITunes doesn't update my iPhone nor iPad

Hello,
i don't know what i did in Terminal a few weeks ago and now i¡'m having problems. I firts noticed this when trying to update my ipad and iphone to ios5.1 itunes kept showing the message "connecting to the iphone software actualisation server" but it stayed this way for hours. I think i touched something in Terminal i didn't had to.
Can anyone tell me how to reput iTunes in to its default settings using Terminal?
i'm i a mid 2011 iMac.
Tanks.

This may not help with whatever you did in Terminal but it may help with trying to update to 5.1.
System Preferences>Network, select your network (ethernet or wifi on the left) and click on the Advanced button and then the DNS tab. On the left, under DNS servers, click the + sign and type 8.8.8.8 click the + again and type 8.8.4.4 and save your settings. See if iTunes will now let you update.
If that fails you could try updating over wifi not using iTunes. These are the instructions for an iPod touch (I guess it'll be similar for the iPhone/iPad). Settings>General>Software Update.

I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new. I pressed old and lost recent photos and apps. what can i do to undo this mess

An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes. In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps. Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

So, what i need to is
1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
Is it correct?
After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
Or need to do manually?
Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

Double-clicking mp3 outside of itunes doesn't automatically play

if i double-click an mp3 on my desktop (or anywhere on my hard drive), it no longer automatically plays when itunes loads up (or if itunes is already open).
i think this still happened when itunes 8.0 was released. i don't know if it was the same with 8.0.1, but it definitely doesn't occur in 8.0.2
i tried looking to see if there was a setting i may have unchecked (or it turned off when it updated) but i can't seem to find anything.
anyone else notice this or have this problem?

i too am having this problem. itunes used automatically play a song whenever i opened the file from outside itunes. it's annoying now that it copies the file into itunes but just sits there until you press play. i've noticed it only since my last itunes update. i keep looking through the settings but i know i've not changed any of them, and i can't find anything to fix it either! please help!

TS1717 Why can I not start Itunes? I keep getting a message that it stopped working/was stopped because of DEP, and I can't get DEP off to launch itunes.

I have Itunes installed on my PC, but now I can no longer open it. If I open it, I get the same message each time: Itunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. As soon as I close that message by clicking on "Close Program" which is my only option, I get a second message stating that to help protect my computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed Itunes. So I read up on help section and attempted to turn off DEP for Itunes, but I get the message that I cannot turn it off for this program. I attempted to repair, uninstall, reinstall Itunes and I keep getting the same message. I also logged in as a guest on my computer as a site suggested and see if the problem exists there as well, it does, it gives me the same message. Please help!
Thanks!

You're welcome! Glad you got things sorted out.
