Doesn't always update last played list

I have a 2nd generation shuffle that I bought a month ago.
It works fine, except for one thing. About 25 percent of the time when I plug my shuffle into my iMac, it doesn't update the "last played" list with the songs I've been listening to since the last time I had it plugged in. The other 75 percent of the time, it updates the "last played" list just like it's supposed to. As far as I can tell, this behavior is random.
I'm using all the latest versions of iTunes, and I've updated my iPod software.

Hello WHAVEman,
I was able to replicate what you were observing. It seems that there is a bug in the front panel binding code. I would be filing a Corrective Action Report to let R&D know about this. Thanks for pointing it out.
Just on the side note, if you are looking to build an application based on the application architecture as in your posted code, then I would recommend that you refer to the attached VI for a much more efficient way of doing this.

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
Cheers,

Yahoo's stock market report doesn't always update

Is something going on with the stock market report updates on Yahoo's home page? It used to work ok, but for the past few weeks the stock market report doesn't always update and sometimes the Nasdaq report doesn't show (only the Dow). This happens in Safari 5.0.1 running Leopard and 4.1.1 running Tiger.

HI,
It appears Yahoo needs to update their software to be compatible with the most recent versions of Safari whether it's 4.1 or 5.0.1

8.1 not updating Last Played time/date

Songs are playing normally, but when I check Recently Played it only shows the tracks that played just before installing the update. The Play Count is registering properly, but the time and date played are not.
Also, I'd rather have my old shuffle function back. Genius is an optional function that can be turned off if I choose not to use it and I wish iTunes DJ was the same way.

I'm also no longer getting last played time updated as well as play count not increasing. Also, when I rate a track from the shuffle's list, the rating does not transfer to the original track on disk. This makes manual management of tracks on a shuffle impossible. The play position is also lost.
Apple, this is a critical bug bug, because of loss of data. Please fix it asap.

Device plays not updating Last Played field

I see that this was an issue two years ago -- cannot believe that it has not been fixed.
Issue: Match updates play count/Last Played field from iTunes computer installs, but not via device plays. Three iPhones, an iPad, and an Apple TV all show this behavior.
There is simply no point in having Smart Playlists with a Last Played condition (or any time/play count condition) if Match does not receive and update ALL play data. Home Sharing has a device play count option, but that puts me back in the box of sharing one library locally and hoping to sync stuff up manually in all ways I could possibly anticipate. Putting stuff in iCloud -- which initially took forever -- was supposed to make things easier, not harder. Now I see that we have Genius Playlists as an option. How can they possibly not become repetitive unless a play count/Last Played value is stored for them? Or will such data only be device specific, an ever weirder breakdown of the supposed global Match promise?

My iPhone 5 on iOS 7 seems to be syncing my play history via iTunes Match with no problems. I have not synced my phone with iTunes on my computer, so it isn't from device syncing. I was definitely at work at 1/8 at 11 am...

Not updating last played during sync on Vista

Hey,
I just got a new laptop with Vista on it and now my shuffle no longer will update the playlists with last played and last skipped as it did in XP. This is quite important as it determines what songs will go on the iPod and the whole reason why I bought it. Has anyone found a fix to this? Is Apple working on this problem?

Is it an Apple problem or a Vista problem?

IPhone not updating "last played" information in ITunes (Mac OS X 10.4.10)

When I listen to a podcast on my iPhone in its entirety, it doesn't show up as having been played in iTunes, and the "last played" information in iTunes doesn't change. I have iTunes configured to sync all of my podcasts. This works great on my iPod but not on my iPhone. I am using iTunes 7.3 (54). Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? Thanks.

I don't know what happened, but it started working properly later on.

Syncing/ update "Last Played" in 10.5, based on remote 10.3 itunes machine

I love my antique ibook used as an ipod running itunes in 10.3x (This is very useful to play podcasts on my self employed job. Am physically working at various places.)
Question, is there an easy way to get my IntelMacPro downloader machine to sync the "Last Played" info from my 10.3 ibook? (Downloading is a small but important job for my macpro workstation. Maybe i'll start using my ibook to download all podcasts, get a better HD or something. Not sure how long podcasts need to be saved. All depends on legislation in the USA which might hamper internet use, based on red alert tactics, which seem to loom in the background of all possibility.)
Insights appreciated.

Downgrading via Archive and install is notoriously unreliable. It is much safer to simply retrieve your backup you made before you installed the update after an erase and install. Of course you make at least two backups. Selective file recovery may be in order, such as found in migrating from PowerPC to Intel Macs:

ITunes no longer updating "last played" after signing up for Match

The subject says it all. Aftter signing up for Match and going through the whole upload/download dance, iTunes no longer records "Last Played." Other fields, like play count, might be effected too, but haven't check. Anyway to get this feature back? I use it a lot.

This subject has been discussed in-depth on this forum. A search will turn up multiple already-existing threads.
Yes, last played dates from iOS devices do not sync back to iTunes. This is a bug that has not been fixed yet by Apple.

Why doesn't iTunes match update last played songs?

Entire library is loaded onto my macbook. When I play a playlist from the cloud off of another device, the last date played is never updated. why?

Hi,
I suggest that you add the icloud status column to song view in your computer's iTunes library. To do this, go to menu > view > view options and tick appropriate box. This will tell you if the song has been matched, uploaded, purchased, ineligible, duplicate or waiting. If the tracks are showing as waiting try selecting update iTunes match.
If they continue to show as waiting, try deleting them but do not move to trash. If you get the pop up asking if you wish to delete from cloud, tick delete from cloud. Now readd tracks and select update iTunes match.

Bound control doesn't always update shared variable (LV 8.2 + DSC)

It seems that it is possible for a bound shared variable to NOT always get updated with the latest UI control value that it is bound to.
If you run the vi in the attached project, and (fairly quickly) toggle the 'Keyswitch Control' between the 'Off' and 'Start' positions, you should be able to reproduce the effect shown in the attached pdf. Sometimes the bound shared variable (Keyswitch_Control) gets stuck in the 'On' position when the control reads 'Off' or 'Start.' It does not catch up after a little while either; it seems truly "stuck."
Unless I am missing something here, this looks like a bug.
I haven't played around with any other control types yet to test further. I also don't know if this is limited to 'control -> SV' binding or if it also affects 'SV -> indicator' bindings (I hope not!).
Any ideas!?!?!?

"Last played" updating incorrectly after play on Shuffle (1G)

This may be related to "Wrong Songs Appearing as Last Played" and "More problems with the play count updating". My impression is that this symptom appeared in the last few weeks.
I load songs onto my iPod Shuffle (first generation), play some of them, then sync with iTunes on my Mac. Some songs are marked with a Last Played time of when I did the sync. I'm pretty sure they are NOT the songs that played. (And I think its less (roughly half) as many songs as were played.) Songs that WERE played still have Last Played times from weeks or months ago.

I did uninstall - reinstall itunes,
then restored my ipod shuffle (1st gen)
and I still do have the same problem. It seems that last played songs are randomly updated. Some of the songs I just listened before connecting ipod to itunes are still not on last played lists. If I play them on itunes on my laptop/pc they do appear on last played list, but not if songs are played on ipod.
So, still problems with play count updating.

How to display videos in Play Lists on iOS 6

Under iOS 5 I was able to create play lists in iTunes and put batches of videos of the same type into separate play lists. I then opened 'Music' on the iPhone and selected the playlist I wanted.
Under iOS 6, Music no longer allows those videos to appear - they now appear only in 'Videos' but Videos doesn't appear to support play lists.
Is it possible to store videos on the iPhone in different playlists any more or has the feature just been removed?

you don't really need a MDM but it helps...

Play Count and Last Played not updating from iPod in iTunes

I've had this problem with 2 of my iPods over 2 different computers, and I have no idea what is causing it.
For some reason, sometimes when I have finished listening to my iPod for the day and then go in to plug it and sync it with iTunes, none of the Play Count or Last Played updates from the iPod. But sometimes it DOES update, which is what frustrates me, as I cannot seem to pinpoint the problem.
These are my specs at the moment:
iPod: Fifth-gen 30GB video
iTunes: 7.0 (also had this issue with 6.x and 4.x before this)
Computer: P4 3.0GHz dual-core, 1GB RAM, WinXP Pro, USB 2.0 ports (also experienced this exact problem with Firewire ports).
I always have iTunes set to automatically sync with the iPod. I have also gone through the 5 suggested steps (including restoring the iPod, restarting the computer and trying out other ports) on several occasions already.
I also had this exact same problem with my old computer and old iPod, the specs which were as follows:
iPod: Third-gen 20GB
Computer: P3 450MHz, 384MB RAM, WinXP Pro, USB 2.0 and Firewire ports.
Has anyone experienced this particular issue before? If so, is there a solution to this issue? It has been bugging me for a while now, and I don't know what other action to take. Thanks heaps in advance!
P4 dual-core 3.0GHz Windows XP Pro 1GB RAM, iTunes 7, USB2.0

hi ozfrog80! sorry, my english is poor...i´ve got a similar problem with a 30gb-video-ipod at mac mini (g5).i just updated itunes 7 at saturday and it ran for 2 days without a problem. okay, some playlists seemed strange, but no problems with the sound (see other topics).
i updated the ipod-software to the latest software-version on saturday too.
while "connection" of ipod/itunes the sync.-symbol never dissappeared. but no new data was transmitted.
yesterday, the ipod froze while running and had to be resetted. result: now the connection to itunes fails because "itunes doesn´t react".
the ipod is "empty" now.
i re-installed both quicktime and itunes (as considered in other topics) but that didn´t solve the problem.
funny: itunes runs without a problem but won´t connect to ipod.
i don´t know what the problem is.....i´m waiting for an update....thanx and good luck from mainz/germany.

IPod Shuffle 2 no longer updating playlist play count and last played date

I use my shuffle 2 in the gym. When I'm done working out I sync and the most recently played songs are rotated off using a smart play list. This is no longer working. I reset the shuffle 2, I've forced sync and auto filled many times. My latest workout it still lists all the songs I just listened to in the order I listened to them and has their last played date as many months ago.
This seems to be affecting my other iPod too, but it is tougher to diagnose. I signed up to iTunes Match and after several days that is still running but I noticed this problem long before iTunes Match became available in Canada. Both my iPod Shuffle and iTunes are up to date but my music is on an older but upgraded Mac. It has a G4 so no Lion upgrade, I just checked it is 10.5.8

All my tracks should be MP3s or AAC. I ripped them myselfs with iTunes. I may have bought some songs directly off of record labels or some other online music store, but I own my music legally whether I bought it on CD or got given it by magazines or record labels.
I went to the gym today. I set the shuffle to random. Some songs were synched back to iTunes but they weren't the songs I listened to, at least not all of them. Some of them may have been the songs I listened to last workout, at least one or two of the songs updated I did listen to today.
I listened to some other songs last night on my main Mac so it is easy to determine which songs iTunes updated this morning.
I haven't had much time to play with Match. It is still updating and uploading, it has 6000 songs to go. That means in a half month of trying it has managed to find and/or upload a little over 1000 songs actually close to 2000 now. It is something, but it isn't the service I was sold. All my songs and playlists were supposed to be available in the cloud. That hasn't happened and in the case of my smart playlists will never happen.
I'll read you link, but I wrote a blog posting how I was disappointed with the service so far.
Thanks!
