Play count wrong after trying to home share

Hello.  I recently turned on home sharing to share music with my wife's computer in the home.  After turning on home sharing, I found my play count was all different.  The numbers were off.  I have since turned off home sharing.  Is there a way now to get my old music play count or library back? 
If I can't revert back, is there a suggestion as to how I might manually fix the play count back to what it was? 

I'm having a similar issue, which has only occurred very recently. When I plug my phone in to sync/back-up, some song plays will be randomly and significantly increased though, bizarrely, not all songs are doing this.
Having had a browse around the internet for a solution, it seems the issue is likely caused by the latest version of iOS (v8.0.2). Really irritating bug, I have to say, for those of us who like to keep accurate listening stats.
I hope iOS 8.0.3 will be out very soon and hopefully address this issue, as neither a system restore on my phone nor reinstalling iTunes has had any effect on this problem.

    Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
    By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Play Count Wrong

    Reset my play count on iTunes 11.4, after listening to a couple songs, played once each and syncing iPhone to iTunes, play count says those songs have been played nearly 10 times each. Why is iTunes multiplying my play counts and how can I fix this?
    Laptop is Windows 7 as well if that has anything to do with anything.

  • The home share folder does not show up after turning on home share program?

    After turning on Home Sharing in iTunes on my desktop the 'share' folder never shows up?

    You need to make sure all devices are connected to the same network. If you have a guest network set up for other users, your devices need to be connected to the same network.

  • Play Count problem after converting to Lossless

    I've converted a few albums to the Apple Lossless format via iTunes but am noticing that I'm losing all my play counts.
    Anybody know how to keep the play counts during the conversion?

    This might get a bit long, but here goes...
    If you want to re-rip your songs as lossless (or any other format) and retain playcounts, artwork, last played info, etc, follow these steps:
    • Insert the CD you want to rip.
    • When it comes up in iTunes, makes sure all these items EXACTLY match the corresponding items that are already in your library:
    -Artist
    -Album name
    -each song name
    -whether or not it's a compilation
    -and the disc number (ie disc 1 of 2).
    • Once you're sure, then click the 'import' button. iTunes will ask if you want to replace the existing items. If you say OK, it will rip at the new settings and transfer all the track details over to the new files. It can optionally delete the old files when it's finished.
    If it doesn't ask you if you want to replace, then the info doesn't match exactly and it will rip a new set of files, all with 'virgin' track info.
    Also, if any individual song has info that doesn't match, you'll end up with a duplicate of that song (the old one, with the details, and a new one without.) If that happens, wait till the whole CD is done ripping, eject the disc, delete the NEW duplicate, put the disc back in, correct the mismatched info, deselect the songs on the CD that you've already ripped successfully, and re-rip the one(s) that didn't work the first time.)
    For tracks that you've already re-imported that now have incorrect playcounts, there is a script available to help you set the playcounts to any desired value. You can find it here:

    I'm happy to try to explain further if this is unclear.

  • Encoder counts wrong after Firmware update to 7.2?

    Hi,
    I recently updated the firmware of my motion controller card 7344 PCI to 7.2.
    Since then a 360degree-rotation in 15degrees-steps seems to miss one 15degree-step. A 360degree-rotation stopps at 345degrees
    I think that maybe the encoder counts wrong or the move function isn't executed one time.
    Has anybody expierienced similar problems or has any hints?
    Thx.
    PS. Does anybody know a way to downgrade the firmware to the version below? It seems that the firmware update causes the problem.

    saimen54,
    Odd behavior.  Is there anyway you could post the code for a simplified version of your program that exhibits this same issue.  I don't think there will be any other way to troubleshoot your issue without taking a look at the code.

  • HT4557 I'm trying to home share but on my iPad I don't have the selection "iPod" like it says in the instructions

    I'm trying to take the songs off my windows computer using home sharing.  I set it up on my computer but having problems doing it on my iPad.  I followed the instructions but it said to select iPod but I don't have that option.

    In the iPad you set up home sharing in the Music App and the Videos app - if you are using iOS 5. There is no iPod app in iOS 5. It became the Music App.
    After you set up Home Sharing correctly - you shared Music Library from the PC will be accessible in the More Button at the bottom of the Music App.

  • Trying to Home share an itunes library from Vista laptop to Windows 8 laptop

    Alright, so both laptops have been setup the same, home sharing turned on, exact same apple id and password. Both computers can see each other in the dropdown menu for "library",  HOWEVER, while the Vista laptop can see & import the library from the Windows 8 laptop, then Windows 8 laptop cannot see & therefore not import the library from the Vista laptop & out of the system without issue, the router has been checked to ensure that nothing is standing in the way on that end either. Is this some sort of backwards incompatibility? Or am I overlooking something  obscenely obvious? Any and all help is welcome, I have looked at a large number of discussions here and throughout the web already, nothing seems to work for my situation. Please help!!!

    Hello there MicknMadd,
    It sounds like one of your computers can see the others library and import from it, but the other does not. You've done a lot of great troubleshooting and verification already, and I would recommend steps 5-7 from the following article to help further troubleshoot:
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    5. Check Firewall settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
    6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
    If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device.
    Note that Home Sharing cannot transfer or stream audiobook content purchased from Audible.com. See Audible.com for information on using their content with multiple devices.
    7. Restart your network router
    Restart your home network router using the method recommended in documentation from the manufacturer. This may include disconnecting the power cord for thirty seconds or more.
    Note: During this period, Internet services such as a VoIP-based phone will not work, and any additional routers may need to be reset in sequence.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • N97 Everything goes wrong after trying to update!!...

    I try to update my N97 software.  Right after that I find out my video camera is not working; my GPS map is error; can't get into OVI store(keep getting an error message).  Worst of all can't even get on Facebook. 
    I try all the reset method (hard/soft).  But nothing work.  Talk to Nokia and they said it's not their problem.... wt....f.....
    anybody out there got any suggestion, please help!!!!!

    Yes. USe Nokia Ovi Suite and go to the update section with your phone plugged in. Once it is done checking for updates. It will display your phone. Next to your phone it will tell you what firmware version you are using. Then it will tell you that if you are having problems you can reinstall. Click on where it says reinstall and it will reinstall the firmware again. Good luck.

  • Unread Mail Count wrong after Time Machine restore

    I, and others on this forum seem to have an unsolved issue having restored from Time Machine backup, so presumably a glitch somewhere in the restore system.
    We have followed the normal advice of rebuilding mailboxes, but it doesn't help.
    Does anyone have an answer to how to reset the unread mail count to zero other than trash all the accounts and manually 'rebuild'
    Thanks
    Stephen

    Hi,
    I cannot take credit for this solution - I found the answer to this by searching through the Mail discussion forums. Another user had 3 emails that he had read, but they were still showing up in his Mail Badge Counter and this is how he fixed it.
    The super-simple-solution:
    Create a "Smart Mailbox" and set it to only contain all unread mail messages. This will grab all of the emails that Mail "thinks" are unread and is marking as such in the badge counter. Select all the emails, mark as read... and you're good to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • MOVED: Steam disconects my internet everytime I try and play counter strike

    Steam disconects my internet everytime I try and play counter strike

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to Home Share on Itunes

    I have a windows 7 OS and I amd trying to "Home Share" with my wife's windows 7 OS computer......
    I have read a few tutorials and they all describe the steps to achieve Home Sharing. The 2 problems I found when following the tutorials is first they all mention selecting "Advanced" drop down menu. I do not have an "Advanced" menu item???? Second, after I appear to have the home sharing functional, I do not see both of our 2 libraries on the left side panel of the Itunes app as shown in all tutorials. I am able to switch from one computer's Itunes library to the other computer's Itunes library. Because I can't see both libraries at the same time, all the movement of songs between the 2 libraries can't be accomplished as decribed in the tutorials. They all depend on both libraries being visible and accessible at the same time.
    What do I do to get both libraries visible on the left panel in Itunes in the windows environment.
    I have checked and I have the latest Itunes on both machines (11.0.5.5)
    I can use any help......Robert

    You won't see 2 shared libraries.
    You will see 1 (from the other's computer).

  • Home Share?

    I am trying to set up home share between my and my brother's macbooks, but it will not let me drag itunes files from one to the other. i have done it before successfully, so I'm not sure why it's not working now. I have authorized both computers under the same username in addition to turning home share on both of them. I also updated the itunes system on both macbooks.  What is going wrong?

    When the Home Share icon shows up briefly, and then disappears, it is most likely firewall software blocking it.
    As a test, turn off the built-in Windows firewall, and then turn off other firewalls (norton, symantec, mcafee, comodo, zone alarm...whatever you have installed).
    Then go to the itunes menu > Advanced > Turn Off Home Sharing
    And then toggle it back on with itunes menu > Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing
    If the Home Sharing icon stays there, then you have to set up your firewall rules to allow it.
    The other common reason is using two itunes accounts. Both PCs have to use the same itunes store account.
