IPhone 3G not counting iPod plays--SOLUTION!!!

If you're iPhone is not counting song plays, check the following:
1. Make sure you are playing the ENTIRE song. iTunes doesn't count partial plays. (PLEASE send feedback to Apple requesting the ability to set the threshold for how much of a song has to play for it to count.) http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
2. Ensure that you DO NOT have "Manually manage music and videos" checked in your iPhone summary within iTunes.
3. If you use playlists that are set to only include checked songs and videos, uncheck "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPhone summary page within iTunes.
I went over these steps with an Apple Product Support Specialist (not just basic Tech Support) and the problem seems solved using the steps above.

This one doesn't matter. My iphone keeps track and I have always had the playlist set to only include checked items, and have always had the main tab syncing only checked songs and videos.

Not Random - iPod plays same named songs in a row

I have noticed that the iPod on shuffle mode isnt entirely random. It plays all songs with the same name in a row. I notice this frequently as I have singles, studio albums and live albums on my iPod. Whenever it randomly plays song XYZ, if there are other songs called XYZ it will then play them before the next random name.
On the techie side, it sounds like they are using some sort of multimap and just randomly choosing a key and playing the whole set at this key instead of choosing a set and random and then randomising within this set...
Has anyone else discovered this phenomenon? It is very annoying!

Song Does Not Count As Played

In the newest iTunes, whenever I use a playlist and the last song has been played, it stops the playing and shows the song with 0:00 left to go, yet it does not register it as "recently played".
Is this a bug or what? Help?
Thanks in advance.

I think it is a bug. I have seen this too. Like you only on the last track of a playlist.

IPhone 6 not counting flights of stairs

Isn't iPhone6 meant to track flight of stairs climbed? Health app showing steps but not flights. Anyone else noticed this ?

Found something else interesting tonight regarding delays of data in flights climbed. It was still not reporting accurately by this evening so I went into the health app, selected flights climbed, then show all data, picked a certain time of day that showed a flight and saw something interesting. The delay I had mentioned and others too can be seen in this data. Again by following the steps above you see the date and time the step/flight was actually achieved and then the 'Date Added To Health'. In some case I see this was added almost immediately (say within a minute of the action) but in other cases (today was a good example) I had a flight of stairs walk at 11am yet it was added to health (according to the data) at 2:20pm.
Now this may or may not be an issue, maybe the M8 caches this data and offloads at a certain point but it has me wondering if that delay may be causing data to either disappear or inaccurately represent. Take a look yourselves using the steps above and see what yours say, would be interesting to correlate if others are also seeing data not register between these gaps or delays.
Again don't know at this time if this is working as it should (delay) but it does make me wonder why some data is written immediately whereas the same data at other times is delayed. Maybe this is something that needs calibrating in a later update or indeed could be related to some of the health app issues Apple is already working but at least wanted to share what I was seeing on mine in hopes it helps.
Also for completeness I also noticed this delay in Steps as well again some recorded instantly, some delayed
Thanks

Want music on iPhone but not iPod.

I have more music in my iTunes library than I have room for. As a result, I had to uncheck some stuff. I'd like to put that stuff on my iPhone but not the iPod. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks for any help.

One way to do this is to use Smart Playlists. These playlists can be built using pretty much any criteria you want, but here's an example:
I use this Smart Playlist to keep the music on my iPhone rotating and fresh. When I plug in the iPhone to power every night is syncs with iTunes, updates the play counts then syncs the new music to the playlist.
So when you sync your iPhone sync just your Smart Playlist, not your entire library.

I have just got a new Macbook Pro and am trying to sync with my iPhone. Everything is working except I can't get my Audible Downloads it is saying they are not authorised to play on this computer. Any suggestions?

I have just got a new mac book pro. When I synced my iphone 4s with it my audible book files were deleted from my phone though they are on the computer still. A pop up said my iphone was not authorised to play on this computer. Everything else is there just not my audio books from Audible. I'm half way through a book, what do I do?

The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Iphone recordings not playing on ipod

Clips recorded on an iphone (m4a) will play in itunes, but not all will play on my ipod. Do they need to be converted to another format?

They shouldn't need to be, but perhaps it would be worth a try to convert them to another compatible format and see if they play that way.
