Has anyone managed to get play count/last played to sync?

I can live with the podcasts being borked, it's prompted me to use an app (hello iCatcher!) which I had been planning to do for a while. I'm still learning its ways, but it feels a lot more comfortable already.
The thing that I absolutely cannot understand is how ratings, playcount and last played times are not synchronising. I've a number of smart playlists based on these attributes and I haven't been able to get them to sync up since I enabled Match on my iPhone.
So I've got an iPhone which I sync with iTunes on a Mac. Everything's patched up to the latest version.
Has anyone successfully had any successful syncs? The smart playlists are just a joke - I'd expect the track listings to be comparable between devices, but they just aren't.
This is a beta product which some glaring functionality holes. How Apple can think it's worth paying for is beyond me. The smart playlist functionality has been working seamlessly for years on iTunes ... but it's broken. And I paid for the product that broke it. I'm feeling very let down.

I haven't managed to get any playcount, ratings etc to sync. There are so many issues with this version of iTunes Match I cannot believe Apple released it.
The order of tracks in playlists doesn't match iTunes on my Mac, selecting a folder of playlists in iTunes on my iPhone hangs the phone and sometimes crashes it, metadata doesn't sync, some albums are split into 2, etc.
Looking forward to an update soon.

Has anyone managed to get HP Warranty Information into SCCM?

Has anyone managed to get HP Warranty Information into SCCM?
I have tried a few scripts that I found on the net but none of them seem to work as I believe HP updated there site this year..

OK, I played around a bit (scripting from a web page isn't way beyond me) but... a few caveats. My lab isn't available right now; so all I could test was that the script ran on an HP laptop. A single HP laptop. and created the regkeys in
(in my case) HKLM\software\wow6432node\CompanyName\WarrantyInformation. So... one single test on one single workstation, and no testing of the mof edit means... I'll need your help to confirm it works.
Anyway, below is the script. Other caveats: It drops a log, and then continuously adds to the log file in %temp% (of the SYSTEM, which is using %windir%\temp). So depending upon what you want/need--you may want to change the EnableLogging
= True to EnableLogging = False (once you confirm it works on all/most of your boxes). The other caveat, of course, is to change the sCompanyname = to be your Company Name; although I suggest you don't have spaces or special characters in it. Short
'n' sweet. Then, naturally, once you have a box with the regkeys, use Mark Cochrane's RegKeytoMof 3.0 or higher to build the mof edits for you to paste to the bottom of your configuration.mof and sms_def.mof. In that blog above Eric Schloss was
using DCM as the delivery method to deliver the script to populate the regkeys--that worked for him and I see no reason it wouldn't work for everyone--so once you've tested the script interactively from a psexec -s -i cmd.exe shell on an hp box (to see it
create the regkeys) I'd make a DCM like Eric did and target a collection with a few HP laptops or desktops and confirm it works via the DCM.
Anyway, give this a try--again... only tested on 1 single, lonely little HP laptop. Needs a bigger test base!
Edit: and... even using Regkeytomof sometimes regkeys can be tricky. If the mof edit doesn't work right to pull the data back, post what you've added. someone here can usually spot if there's something not right about it and help you fix
the mof edit.
Edit #2: removed bad space, and bad copy/paste job as discovered by sevengs. Thanks!

Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?

I just got a pair of new 3TB disks that I wanted to put on my Windows 2003 server enterprise x64 system, SP2, all updates installed.
When I first tried to convert to dynamic, I got the error "The operation did not complete" as described in this KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826823
It says there is a patch, but there is not one for x64, just x86 and ia64
I found another technet discussion here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/cb62238c-b3d0-4989-b45a-ae6de6701a7b?stoAI=10
However its best suggestion is to use a product from AOMIE, but I tried that and it didn't even recognize the disk. It also suggests that one needs a better version of diskpart.exe and to try to the 32 bit version. Anyone have any experience
with that?
I also tried creating moving the disk to Windows 7 x64, making it dynamic there, but when I move the disk back to 2K3 it does not recognize it, and goes back to a 2TB partition. I also saw something about needing a 512 block size for 2K3, but W7 does
not allow anything smaller than 1K.

Hi,
During my research, if found the following artcle which also mentioned a 3TB disk should be supported in Windows 2003 SP1:
Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/a720ae72-0c04-44dd-94c0-2e6aecce530e
So I contact the author about this issue. He said it could be caused if your hard disk is a 512e drive as the 3TB drives on the market today are normally 512e drives.
However manufacturers stopping identifying this, and if the controller is old, FSUtil will not able to identify a 512 drive but recognized it as a normal 512n drive.
Thus please provide the drive model so we could search on manufacturer's website for exact information.
Also please paste the screenshot in your reply which Satish mentioned if available.

Has anyone managed to get a PS3 Controller to work with OSX Lion?

Hi,
I wanted to connect my PS3 controller to my iMac (late 2011) using bluetooth but have been unable to do so. It will connect for a brief time but then it will lose connect as it has not paired. It also asks me for a pairing code. I have tried 0000 and this does not work. I have searched the internet and it seems this is a common issue. Has anyone managed to get it working?
Does anyone know if Apple plan to fix the issue with a forthcomming update?
Cheers,

There are numerous threads on this, please use the "More Like this" tool, you will find it on the right. I'm not sure if anyone has any solutions but that is the logical place to start.

Sync play count, last played, and rating with iOS 5

From other threads (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16563011#16563011 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16505730#16505730 for example) it is clear that there are some problems with play count, last played, and rating information updating and syncing under iOS 5. I have at least a partial solution. I am posting it here instead of under one of the existing threads because 1) some discussions seem to be confusing the difference between updating the iOS 5 device data and syncing the updated data to the computer, and 2) some of the discussions are focused iPhone, and though the problem appears similar I only have an iPod touch to test the solution on.
First of all, this is not a new problem. Prior to iOS 5, I would plug my iPod Touch into the computer and not see any play count or last played data for songs I knew I had just listened to. I discovered that if I clicked (in my computer's iTunes display of the iPod) on one song that I had recently listened to, it would suddenly display play count and last played for all the songs played since the last update. I could then transfer this playlist data (more on this in a minute) to the corresponding songs on the computer. Under iOS 5, this no longer works, and in fact causes the new play count and last played data on the iPod to be lost. However, under iOS 5 there is a way to get this information to update, even though you don't see it when you first connect to the computer.
To make this work, you have your iPod set on Manually manage music and videos under the Summary tab of the iPod settings in iTunes. I have messed around with this for hours, including several restores and resets of my iPod touch, and have found no way to get this to work under various Sync Music options. I have been using the Manually manage mode for years because I use my iPod with numerous different iTunes Libraries on several different external hard drives.
Here's the trick: Manually manage must be in effect before you connect the iPod to the computer. After your iPod shows up in the iTunes interface on your computer, in the main view (where it shows the different tabs at the top and capacity at the bottom) there is a Sync button at the very bottom right. Click on this and wait for it to go through the Sync steps (don't worry, you're not losing anything), and, voila, when you go to the songs (on the iPod) you have listened to since the last time you connected to the computer, the play count and last played data will be there.
Unfortunately, it's not a simple matter to get this data synced to the computer, but it can be done. At first I thought that once I got the data to show up on the iPod I could go to the Music tab and Sync Music to get the playlist data to the computer, but this does not work. It will sync the play count and last played data that are on the computer to the iPod, overriding the newer data. The way I have been getting my playlist data from my iPod to my computer without ever changing the Manually manage setting is by using the Copy Tag Info Tracks To Tracks script from Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes <http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=copytinforackstotracks>. This isn't hard to download or install or use and copies playlist information very quickly.
I have never had a problem with play count or last played on my 2nd generation nano, which still works beautifully. As far as I can tell, play count and last played have never worked well on the iPod touch; there are threads in discussions complaining about this from years ago. It would be nice if Apple would recognize that these are extremely important features to many users and make it a priority to make these basics work before (or while) adding a lot of other fancy features.

Just for posterity in case anyone else ever has a similar problem.
I found out I can work around my problem, but I have limitations. The only time it'll update the correct songs is after I restore it and then add the initial songs on to the Shuffle. The key is to not ever have a situation where I reshuffle the order of those songs. If I ever shuffle to better alphebatize or categorize things, the sync updating screws everything up. If say Song #3 on my Shuffle's playlist after the intitial transfer gets moved around to being anything other than the third song played, my Shuffle/iTunes will still think that song has been played although the Song #3 I actually listened to after the sync update will be different. Now I have to carefully compose and place what songs I want loaded on since I can't mess around with the playlist setup at all.
I know Apple support would likely blame my Shuffle for the problem (it's over 6 years old now). But it's funny how this only happened right after I installed 11.0. The update to 11.0.2 did nothing.

Problem when syncing: won't update itunes play count/last played etc

My old 2g shuffle was capable of updating play count/last played and adding songs to the recently played playlist when synced to my itunes.
Seems my new 3g shuffle can't do this.
I remember the trick with the 2g was to make sure it was switched off first before connecting/syncing, but I've tried all sorts of different combo's with the 3g and nothing will make it update song stats in itunes.
How can I make it update my itunes?

Ok, cool, I figured it out:-) Just in case anyone ever has the same problem, here's a quick rundown:
Basically it's the same problem you can get with 2nd gen shuffles if you're manually managing songs. So I just unticked manually manage music in the device summary and got the shuffle to sync music from a playlist I created/dumped all the songs I wanted into.

If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below). On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.

Has anyone managed to get icloud to synchronise properly with outlook calendar?

I have an iphone 5 and am running outlook 2010 on windows 7 32 bit.
I can get icloud to do the intial upoload of the calendar but then after that it won't synchronise new calendar entries.
The phone and icloud syc, but icloud won't sync with outlook whether the entry is put in outlook or in icloud.
I have spoken with Apple support and over many weeks have de-installed and re-installed icloud several times.
I have sent various diagnostiocs and screen shots.
The icloud outlook addin does not appear in the outlook add-ins section, although I can see what might be the add-in sitting on the c drive in the apple folder.
Support have also told me that there is no way to download the icloud add-in seperately.
Apple support are now telling me that I need to de-install and re-install outlook to try and get the add-in to install correctly.
That would be a real pain and I can see on this forum that other people have already tried that without success.
They also say that if that doesn't work I will need to completely re-install the OS.
I don't think they know what the problem is and are just trying anything that might work.
I really don't want to lose all my business data from outlook and certainly don't want to trash my whole PC.
Has anyone any idea where the problem might be?
Many thanks

Play Count / Last Played inconsistencies

I have a smart playlist that simply shows all music that I've never played.
I set this up to simply show music where Plays=0.
I've noticed recently that music I know I've listened to is still in the playlist, looking at the screenshot below you can see that I listened to this album in February but the play count is still zero?
I can get around this by also filtering out music where last played is not in the last 1000 months, but that's a workaround rather than a fix!

littlestar,
The Mimico Kid asked a couple of us on another thread if someone could offer some tips with this issue, so I'm here to try.
With playcounts that iTunes is not able to keep orderly, you may want to reset your entire iTunes library's play counts, or rebuild your iTunes library.
See if this thread is of any help for you:
Play count is screwed up- why?
Something else I just thought of that might do soemthing. Try this:
1 - Right-click "Recently played" in the left panel of iTuens, click on "Edit Smart Playlist".
2 - un-check "Live Updating".
3 - Click "OK".
4 - Play a couple of songs in the iTunes library (all you have to do is double-click a song, and drag the little location-of-the-song selector to the last couple of seconds, and it will count as a played song when it reaches the end).
5 - Close iTunes.
6 - Re-open iTeuns again.
7 - Right-click "Recently played" again, clicking on "Edit smart playlist".
8 - Now re-check "Live updating" again.
9 - Play a couple of songs in iTunes, and close iTuens when this is completed.
10 - Re-open iTunes. Play a song in it.
11 - Now, see "Recently played", just to make sure that it now shows what you played a few moments ago.
See if anything changes with iTunes not keeping your play counts.
Okay, I'm not sure if that was all useless or far-off the possible problem (I know, "Recently played" and "Live updating" may not have much to do with iTunes updating playcounts), but I guess it's a try. You sometimes never know what iTunes will positively respond to with a problem that's somewhat un-charted ground. (I've seen some strange solutions actually work with issues in iTunes).
Good luck,
-Kylene

My play count (& last played) does not work after itunes 11

I've read many posts claiming if you turn off crossfading that you can repair the new play couny/last playedt problem in itunes 11. That does not work for me ( I have never turned on the crossfading ever ).
Now when I listen to my audio books on a shuffle (has no screen), I can't see what chapters I have already listened to (when I plug my ipod back into my desktop).
Any other advice?

Apple needs to recognize this issues immediately, I'm a huge fan of Apple products like paulgarb said, it's a good product cause it works, every tv and mobile device in my home are linked because of homesharing, but now it does not work with no seemingly simple solution to solve the issue anywhere in site. I have always stood by Apple products and always recommend them, however I hope I did not put my foot in my mouth, my father has just spent a good amount of time scanning old family pictures and now he wishes to share them on his tv, tried multiple solutions for him with the devices he already has, none would work (ie streaming through googletv, ps3...) so I told him the simple solution is to just get an appletv for $99, he said fine get it for me for Christmas, usually I have a hard tie getting a gift for him, but now I finally have an opportunity to get him a gift I know he wants, but with homesharing issue apple has yet to acknowledge I feel appletv might be a moot point for him. Im praying that my father has not update his itunes yet. It would a great gift if apple could acknowledge the issue and fix it before the 25th.

Has anyone managed to get Authorware 7 Content Working on the Web

Hi I get this message when I try to get the web player working
Can anyone help!!
[email protected]

I used classes12.jar with a 9.2 database without any problems. JDBC calls, XA Datasources as well as CMP calls worked fine.
I think the ojdbc14.jar is required for use with a 1.4 JDK.
Of course, there might be features in 9.1 that might require the new jar.
Just mentioning that the jar did not pose me problems. Adding this information so it might help the OP narrow down the source of error.

Has anyone managed to get an iPhone to work with BoostMobile?

I've wanted an iPhone for years now but don't feel it will be made available through Boost for purchase so I'm looking for options to somehow make it happen. BoostMobile uses the Sprint/Nextel networks for its customers. I like having no contract and unlimited everything, and I worked my way through the shrinkage program down to $35.00 a month. Any suggestions on how to make this happen would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

If I read your question correctly you want to buy an iPhone unlocked without a contract? If you do go here http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s and select "Or get iPhone unlocked and contract-free"

Has anyone managed to get play count/last played to sync?
