Iphone song ratings not updating itunes on sync

Most songs listened on the iphone that I have given a rating to have updated itunes with the star rating. However I have several songs (approx 50) that when I give them a rating wont update the itunes rating.
any ideas ?

I have the same problem, the ratings dont update itunes & often some of the ratings on the iphone disapear too (not all though for some reason) along with the strange randown fast forwarding of songs when playing sometimes (I have to turn off the phone & back on to stop it) It really is anoying when you have paid £400 for something.

  • Syncing my iPhone 4 will not update iTunes play counts

    Running a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 (141).
    Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 - I have noticed that when syncing my phone in iTunes (wired), my 'play counts' do not update for recently played songs, and any songs played on my iPhone do not appear in the 'Recently Played' playlist in iTunes.
    I mange my music manually on my iPhone, so had a go at removing all the music from it, then copying over just one album. Played the first track of that album on my iPhone which had been played 10 times. Synced iPhone, and still says 10 plays in the play count on iTunes.
    Have checked the 'Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts' in the 'Sharing Preferences' in iTunes, but this has no effect.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Is it a bug?
    Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

    Dalmanac, I hear you. I record all of my plays to a database, and iOS5 has broken that for me. Quite frustrating.
    I've done a bunch of testing tonight, a bit more thoroughly than I did on the weekend. There are two scenarios where I appear to be able to get the phone to sync plays back the the library.
    Play a song from the iPhone through iTunes:
    1. Connect iPhone.
    2. Play song through iTunes, but from iPhone.
    2.1 iTunes briefly says "updating files on phone" or something such
    2.2 iPhone count increases (viewable in iTunes)
    3. Click on Music Library -> play count has not updated
    4. Sync iPhone -> play count in Music Library updates
    This implies to me that syncing from the iPhone on iOS5 CAN work. The functionality is there, just broken.
    Repeating those steps, but playing the song on the phone, not iTunes sees the iPhone count update, but not Music Library.
    Starting a fresh library (yeah, I know, I don't want to do that either) and leaving the phone in Automatic mode appears to sync plays from the iPhone when played from the iPhone. I just tested with one track, but it seems to work without issue.
    Starting a fresh library and using Manually Manage Music does not work, or at least I can't get it to. It behaves the same as keeping the existing library in manual mode. iPhone count updates, library count doesn't.
    The last thing I want to do is start a new library and turn off Manually Manage Music. For the time being I've changed my database import from reading the music library XML to exporting a playlist from the phone of the day's plays (including play date and count) and importing from that. At least for a bit to see if this gets syncing issue fixed - or if I can find the magic combination of making it work again with my existing music library in manual mode.
    If anyone learns anything further about how to get it working or has any further diagnosis please post.

  • My iPhone 4 will not update. iTunes and my Mac is up to date.

    I cannot get my iPhone to update. Everytime I hook it up to iTunes, it says that version 4.2.10 is the current version. I have the 10.4.1 version of iTunes and my Mac is 10.6.8. It still recognizes it and syncs just fine.

    It's not a matter of Verizon catching up on the updates. The CDMA (Verizon) iPhone and the GSM (everyone else) iPhone use different chipsets. iOS should be brought up to speed when both are unified with iOS 5 this fall.

  • Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

    Requirements for iPhone 5:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later
    The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

    The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way.  Hmmm....
    I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

  • My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

    I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

    iOS- Unable to update or restore
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    Have you tried connecting to your computer and updating via iTunes?
    You may have to do a full restore to upgrade:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • IPhone 4 will not update! HELP!

    Hi all,
    My iPhone 4 will not update to IOS 5.0, an error message keeps coming up that that 'network connection timed out'. I'm connected to my Wi-Fi at all times.

    I had the same problem. I waited about one hour with the progress bar on iTunes at about 50% and the progress bar on my iPhone 4 at about 20% with no further progress.
    I unplugged iPhone, got the error message (9), shut down iTunes, restarted my Macbook Pro, did a hard reset on iPhone and then reconnected to my MBP. iTunes launched and notified me that my iPhone needed to be "restored."
    I went ahead and did the restore, which took only about 8-10 minutes. I did not restore the prior iphone backup, but chose to synch it as a new iphone. All went well. It now shows iOS 4.2.1 and all I have to do is manually install the apps I want, etc....
    I hope this helps.
