Cannot sync Last Skipped and Skip Count

I have a 1st-gen iPod Nano with the latest firmware (1.3) and the latest iTunes (7.0.2) but when I sync the Nano, the Last Skipped and Skip Count fields are not updated on any of the songs I've skipped. There seem to be many people complaining about this so can you please get a fix asap?

I have playlists that rely on the Last Skipped and
Skip Count properties of songs, but these items only
seem to be triggered if the song is fast forwarded
between 3-20 seconds into the song. I tried to skip
I think this is how it's intended, though there isn't much info on this feature. I've seen the same behavior and other users have reported same.
One thing that threw me off for a bit using this feature was trying to use with playlists where the songs had "remember playback position" checked. Last skipped doesn't register at all with these tracks.

ITunes 9 - 'last played' and 'play count' still do not sync on manual

Tonight I upgraded to iTunes 9 and my iPod Touch to v3.1.1 but the 'improved' sync doesn't seem to have improved to what I need.
Alright, basically I have a lot of rare songs and live recordings in my library. My iPod Touch is only 16gb and my music collection is just over 99gb counting all my audiobooks. From what I can tell iTunes 9 will let me sync my music library with only select artists, but even this doesn't allow for instances where I only want four or five songs out of an artist's forty or fifty songs.
The only way to put what I want on my iPod is to set it to Manually Manage my Music and Videos. That's okay with me BUT iTunes won't sync the 'last played' and 'play count' of songs that are on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
Can someone help me solve this issue? I want to be able to manually manage my music and videos AND have iTunes sync the play count and last played for the songs I listen to.

If you manage the music on your iPod Touch manually the playcount and last played data does not get updated in iTunes. It works that way for all iPod models.
To solve this problem you can do the following:
- Create a playlist in which you add all the songs you want to add to your iPod Touch
- Set your iPod to sync music automatically. On the music tab configure the iPod Touch to only sync the previously created playlist.
- Sync your iPod Touch.
Now you can manage the content of your iPod Touch by managing the contents of the playlist and then sync. And most importantly it will update your playcount and last played data.
Hope this helps,

HT1202 I am disappointed I cannot sync my office and home computers music using my 64gig ipad 3.

I am disappointed I cannot sync my office and home computers music using my 64gig ipad 3.
Any suggestions? I have seen some 3rd party apps $$.
I have an office mac and a home PC. I continue to be disappointed by what my ipad cannot do, as intuitive to use as apple products are supposed to be.
Now that I have shoved all my CDs into Itunes at work, you think I would not have to do it again at home when I have the library on my ipad.

iDevices are now and always have been uni-directional for syncing. You sync from the computer to the iDevice. You cannot sync from the iDevice to the computer except if you have downloaded something directly from Apple to your iDevice. Then iTunes will allow you to sync these new acquisitions because they are not in your iTunes Library.
To do any differently requires a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac.

You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR.

I just updated my iphone 5s to IOS 8.1.3 and I cannot sync (error -54) and my "other" takes up 6.69gb of my space

I just updated my phone to IOS 8.1.3 and I'm having troubles.
None of my music is syncing as well as anything else I try to sync. As for the bar at the bottom of the iphone summary screen there is no Music photos, app or anything its just a big yellow "other" bar even though I have photos and apps on my phone..
How do I fix this??

I have the 5s and am still using iOS 8.1.3 and cannot sync anything! It's driving me crazy. My iPad won't sync either which made me think it was my wifi but that is not the issue.
Is anyone able to troubleshoot this problem? I've tried to look on here for days now. Thought possibly could be due to my desktop having old iOS but don't see why that would have to do with my cell or iPad syncing/updating. Maybe for iTunes, but not for apps...
Thanks.
Hope someone has some ideas.

I changed the email address for my apple id and now I cannot sync the contacts and calendar with my iphone

It is crazy but in the apple store they set up the icloud for me and then I started sync the iphone against the icloud and i had some photos in streaming because they recommended to do like that. After that, the space got not enough and they asked for more more to increase the space, so I decided to come back to the previous method and sync my iphone with itunes via usb. Well, the email address that i had for my apple id became unavailable so i had to create a new account this time with gmail and since then, i cannot sync my iphone. I have done it today and i have lost my contacts and the calendar is no ,onger sync. I am using outlook to manage my mail and when I look for the i cloud it asks me for the old email address which no longer exists and does not match with the current one.
Can anyone help me?

Nevermind, I figured it out!

Error - cannot sync at all and cannot update 3gS to iOS5

I cannot sync 3gS at all. Tried to update to iOS5 and I get an error message for that as well. Anyone else having similar problems?

Could be the result of a Microsoft Windows update that got pushed to PC's...?

Cannot sync between desktop and Pearl

I have set up the sync between my laptop and phone, but I cannot set it up with my desktop computer at work. Desktop manager won't let me set up sync preferences. thanks

Can you be a bit more specific what happens when you set it up?

Last played and play count help.

My "last played" hasn't updated since 9/9 and my play count isn't loading, either. I've tried to reset the play count but it's still not working. Anyone know what I can do?

Delete several tracks you know you've played ... that will cause the last played/play count to be updated.

I cannot sync between Android and Desktop

I have set up sync from my desktop. I have an Android device. As near as I can figure out, I have to now go to the Droid and run the Sync routine. This will give me a code that I then (I think) put into the desktop. The problem is that the help tells me to run the Sync routine from the start page of the Droid. Well, there was one when I started, now it's gone. I cannot figure out how to get that Sync routine back on the droid. The help file indicates it should be on the Start page. But when I fire up the Droid Firefox, it gives me a search bar, the "Top Sites" I visited and - at the bottom - the completely useless Add-ons for your Firefox section. How can I get the Sync routine to appear on the Droid so I can actually run it?

I am going to post my own reply. Basically the option to set up Sync on my Android never reappeared and I could never find it. So I de-installed Firefox from the Droid, re-installed it and the option came back. I ran the routine, got the code, put it into my desktop and voila!, they were synced. That seemed to be just about my only option.

What has to be done in order for your play data--Last Played, and Play Count--to be updated from "cloud" play of your music? Thanks

When playing music in the cloud, music on my MacBook's library play data is not updated. Does anyone know how to make that work, or if it is even possible? If it's not possible, why even ha

If you manage the music on your iPod Touch manually the playcount and last played data does not get updated in iTunes. It works that way for all iPod models.
To solve this problem you can do the following:
- Create a playlist in which you add all the songs you want to add to your iPod Touch
- Set your iPod to sync music automatically. On the music tab configure the iPod Touch to only sync the previously created playlist.
- Sync your iPod Touch.

Since Jan 1st cannot sync google calendar and iPhone calendar

I had google calendars syncing just fine between iCal on my laptop and iPhone by using Exchange on my iphone. Since the first of the year I can't get one of the calendars to sync. I have a work calendar and personal calendar as well as two shared calendars that belong to others. Since Jan 1st my work calendar will not show up on my iPhone. Even if I add an event on my iPhone it shows up briefly then disapears??? The only thing I changed prior to this issue was adding a shared calendar. My personal calendar has and is still the default. No other settings were changed. Another thing is that on my phone my work calendar keeps unselecting itself so it shows 2 calendars rather than 3.
I went on the exchange settings and turned off everything and turned them back on and made it worse. Now none of my calendar events show up but the two shared calendars do. On google sync settings they are all selected still- both on my computer and iphone.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

It may be more than this but there is an issue with shared google calendars discussed here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/calendar/syncing-my-cal endar/m8zzIAYN9rI

Since reinstalling Windows 7, I cannot sync my iMac and Win 7 bookmarks.

Hi, since having to recently reinstalling Windows 7 on my iMac using Parallels 10, I can no longer sync my iMac Firefox bookmarks with my Win 7 bookmarks. My iMac bookmarks remain unaffected, but my Win 7 bookmarks will not sync and show the same old bookmarks as my iMac Firefox shows. I have deleted and re-registered my Sync account and still no different. I have tried adding my Win 7 OS as a new device, but Sync does not show the page for this. It just shows the Manage page and does not give me that option.
Can you please help on how I can once again sync the two bookmarks?

Hi guigs2
Thanks for your suggestion but that hasn't resolved my problem. I have closed down my account, created a new one and still my iMac Firefox bookmarks will not sync with my Windows 7 Firefox bookmarks (I am using Parallels 10 virtual machine). I have noticed that my mobile firefox has sync'd though, so I just need my Windows firefox bookmarks to sync. Have you any further advice please?

I cannot sync outlook contacts and calenders

i am using Mac book air and outlook mac 2011..

I am not sure but I think the Outlook "sync" with iTunes only works in one direction - i.e. from your PC to your iPhone - if you are looking to export the contacts the otehr way round - from your phone to your PC, you can refer to the following alternative methods to sync iPhone contacts.
