Any way to update playcount when track is played via shared library?

Hi, I have a laptop and other computer that accesses a shared library on my main PC. This "central" library contains all the podcasts I listen to, and syncs with my iphone. In the past It's been extremely convenient that itunes would delete podcasts for me when they are played from the "central" itunes pc or on the iphone, so I would only have the latest. But now I've started listening to podcasts on computers which connect to the shared library, I'm having to remember which podcasts have been listened to later, and delete or mark as played manually, which is a nuisance.
SO, my question is: is there any option or even a known workaround available that would have the shared library mark a podcast as played (i.e. increase the playcount) when it is played on a computer that connects to it via sharing? Thanks

It doesn't work as I expected. This is what I tested:
Find song that is on both Mac & Win7 machines. Take note of each playcount.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
2                         7
Play song on Mac.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         7
I expected the Win7 playcount to increase to 8, as well, but it didn't.
Play song on Win7.
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         8
I expected the Mac playcount to increase to 4, but it didn't.
Play song on Mac through homesharing (the Win7 song actually gets played)
Mac playcount     Win7 playcount
3                         9
OK, I guess this is all this homesharing feature does. The Win7 song actually got played so its playcount got updated from the Mac.

Is there any way for additions made by one user of a shared library to be visible to the other user of the same library, without having to always "add file to library"? This was the whole reason we consolidated the library into a public folder

My wife and I share a computer but have separate Windows ID's. We also each have an iTunes account, using two separate Apple ID's. We have always struggled with the headache of getting music that one of us added (via purchase, downloading CD, etc.) to the other person's music library. A friend suggested we consolidate and share the same library. Sounded like a good idea so we moved the libraries to a public folder, consolidated them, etc. But now when one of us adds music to the library, the other person still has to do an "add file/folder to library" in order for them to be able to see it. This is exactly the step we were hoping to eliminate by this consolidation. Does anyone know if there is a way to make this happen automatically, or will we have to continue to do this every time?
Also, ended up with a lot of duplicates in the process of consolidating. Is there any way to identify and "mass delete" these? It will take a while to go through them all individually as the library is somewhat substantial (approx. 16k songs)
Hardware is Windows 8, one iPod classic, one iPod Nano (obviously only selected playlists on this one). All hardware and iTunes running latest software.
Any information would be appreciated!

It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Any way to update this version without buying a new computer? Extremely slow.

Gteat, you can upgrade, but the slowness is likely the try 1 GB of RAM, before you upgtade I'd strongly advise maxing the RAM to 6GB...

You could with more RAM & enough fre Disk s[ace update to 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, or the free 10.9, but first you need get 10.6 to go further, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

Any way to update additional fields for SDLS with equipment at serial no cr

Dear all,
In the serializing procedure SDLS in the serial no profile
there is an option to create equipment alongwith serial no
creation. Currently it is updating only customer no into the
equipment master .
Is there any way to update additional fields into the equipment
master at the time of serial no capture ?
regards
Magi

I think basically the answer is no, and even if you could I don't think it would help you much. A virtual machine error is exactly that, an error in the VM, not your code. The only thing I can suggest is that, if you want to see if your app is falling over in the same place every time, you use something like log4j.

Any way to update PO document through DTW without using "Doc Entry"

Dear all,
Just have a question.
I need to use DTW to update existing PO document. I realized that I have to have Doc Entry to be entered in the DTW template.
Is there any way to update PO document through DTW without using that field, "Doc Entry"?
thanks
Tony

Tony,
A similar situation related to Bank files was resolved with one of my clients on the following way...
The file from the Vendor can be an any order or format on the Excel. Till the time it is consistant it should work fine..
We created a Job in SQL Server to read this Excel file and to use the DocNum to get the DocEntry from SAP PO and output another excel file which is exactly the template format for PO Update.
This may even not be required in your case.....
You can get this done through an Excel Macro....which will connect to the database and using the DocNum get the DocEntry and update the Excel....
This is 100% achievable and a better solution for regular use

Is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?

Hi,
with reference to the below link i have some queries
Re: is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?
i din understand the below point mentioned in the thread
You see this option is changes sales order(VA02), item pricing, update tab at the bottom.
can u pls explain ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First of all it is not at all possible that you have added something to user exit for sales order and that is affecting billing.
While billing try
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP
instead of USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK.
Also, you need to sit with the SD functional person to check and decide upon what config is to be adopted in copy controls for pricing type. In case you wish to do everything through the user exit then std controls need to be set in a way that whatever is in sales order should come up in billing, inclusive of manual conditions unchanged.
In case of short dump issues, the code is not written at the right place. Before your code write
break-point
which will give you an idea of what is happening at runtime while creating billing document in debugging mode.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G4, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
