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.

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...

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.

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 due to lack of iTunes and Mac OSX update

Hello,
I have an iPhone 3GS running software version 4.1 and am needing to update it to the next version. When I click on the 'update' button when the phone is connected to my MacBook, a window pops up that says 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. I realize that iTunes needs to be updated as well, but in order to do that I need a different version of Mac OSX. I have an older MacBook and am currently running Mac OSX 10.4.11
My question is: is the only way to update my iPhone at this point to purchase the OSX Leopard 10.5? I seem to be caught in a dilemna of not having the most up-to-date software on my computer, but I wish it didn't effect my iPhone performance.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

You can upgrade the MacBook directly to Snow Leopard for $29.00

My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3. this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3. this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3. as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out. i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose. The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

iOS device not recognized in Windows

When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update the play count? Is there a setting I need to change?

When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update my play counts. Is there a way to make this happen?

Are you using iTunes Match by chance? I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match. I turned it off and magically my play counts synced. Once. Hasn't happened again though.

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,

Why does iPhone not update photos

Does anyone know why iPhone will not update from PC using latest iTunes?

Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
Thank you kindly ,

Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)
