IPod 4th Gen not updating "played" status.

Hi, recently I'm having a problem with my Ipod touch 4th Gen. It works fine, plays music and videos normally, but it does not update the "last played" status, nor "last played date". This is a problem because I sync my videos based on "most recent not played", and I have some smartlists that make use of that statur or date too.
This happened once before I upgraded from iOS 5 to Six, but apparently was corrected; however, since I upgraded to iOS 6, none of my played items is being updated. Could it be because of the iOS upgrading, or maybe there is something else I'm missing?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
It will not show up in Finder/Spotlight search

IPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones

iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
Can anyone help

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

IPod 4th gen not connecting to wifi?

Ok, so here is what happened,
I have had this Ipod since December 2010 I believe, haven't had any major wifi problems with it until now. the wifi has always been on and off I guess, but right now its off like never before. My mom decided to change the wifi password (ended up changing it back) and now the ipod will now connect to the wifi. I have another ipod of the same model (been around for the same time, don't ask, long story) and once the wifi password was changed back, that ipod connected just fine with no problems, didn't even have to re-input the password (same with my iPhone 4). but this ipod that im having trouble with isn't connecting. on the settings, itll say the name of the wifi as if its connected (no wifi bars) but when I go to the wifi settings, it just shows the loading spinning symbol next to the wifi name, and then it will show the same symbol next to "choose a network...", and then it just keeps doing that. It does not say "unable to connect" or anything like that. Ive reset the network settings, ive forgotten the network at least 5 times and have re-entered the password also. ive turned my ipod off a couple times, connected it to iTunes, the whole lot of it. I don't know if its just the wifi (seems considerably weaker since the password was changed, and it was pretty weak to begin with) or what. I can answer any more questions to help find a solution.
And I can not upgrade the wifi, apparently its as upgraded as it can be. But the other two devices still work, but this one ipod is just not connecting. also, the ipod is updated.

Yes, it connected to another network, for some reason it wont connect to mine. I'm right next to the router, but my other devices work, so I don't know if its the network or the iPod. I took it to a store (home button was broken) and they were able to connect it to their Wi-Fi, so I guess it isn't a problem inside the iPod. But, as I said, the three phones in my family all connect, CPU connects, other iPods connect, Xbox 360 connects, my sister's laptop connects, and my tablet connects.... I just got the iPod back from repairing the home button and I reset it (wasn't able to before, assistive touch home button wouldn't let me reset) and it still wont connect. Its weird, because the Wi-Fi bars under the Wi-Fi settings will be shown blue as if its connected (It wont have the check next to it, it will only show the loading spinning symbol; I've left the iPod open and it just keeps loading, it wont say unable to connect, and obviously it wont connect) however the bars are not next to the word "iPod" at the top of the screen. also, in the man page of the settings, the Wi-Fi will not say "not connected", it will actually say the name of my Wi-Fi as if it were connected, but there is not actual connection.
Thanks, hopefully I wont have to restore it... really don't want to do that.

TS2799 my itunes or ipod (4th gen) wont update and gives me error =3259

I have the exact same issue, also with an iPod Touch 4th gen. I can't even sync over wifi though. Try this, connect the iPod to the computer, Hold the power and action button for 10 seconds until the iPod turns off, then keep holding the action button. With luck windows will popup that its found a device and may prompt you to re-download itunes to get the iboot driver...
I was running itunes 10.7.0.21 so I dont know why this is required. hate Crapple some times.
Download the newest itunes and re-install. It will likely give you the option to repair itunes. Do that. It may help you

Cannot restore ipod 4th gen without updating to ios 4.2 and cannot do that

My son cannot remember his passcode to his new ipod touch 4th generation. I go into itunes to do a "RESTORE" and it won't restore unless I update to the new ios 4.2 software. When I try to update, I get the "network connection timed out" error. It will never update. I have disabled every bit of security on the computer, removed and uninstalled all anti-virus software, removed firewalls from windows and the router, unplugged and replugged in the modem and the router to do a hard reset, tried creating a new user account in Windows to see if that helped and it gave the same error. I was told by Apple that I must not be able to do it for some reason and I have to go to an Apple store to have it done. That is ridiculous that they can't even figure it out. My son just wants his ipod restored so he can use it and I just want to be able to do updates.

i fixed mine!@#!@# all i did was closed kaspersky and it worked i don't know what your problem is tho since u uninstalled your anti-virus
most people disable there anti virus but the anti virus doesn't fully close like kaspersky
i hope u fix your problem

My Ipod 4th gen won't play certain songs/displays wrong name

I got a referbished Ipod nano two months back and it worked just fine. Then all my music was erased from Itunes for whatever reason (not important.) Then I restored all my songs from my Ipod by transfering all the encoded files into the itunes folder. This worked just fine on Itunes (everything plays just fine) but when I synced my Ipod I noticed that a lot of the songs wouldn't play. when I click on a song it will go into the song interface quickly then go back to the menu screen. also when I would play all the songs by an artist it would skip massive chunks of songs and only play one or two. When it did play a song it would trip up and display the details for the next song and would require some effort to get it to display the right thing. Also when I would click on some songs it would take two tries to get it to play. I noticed that this only happens on songs that I transfered from my old mp3 player and not songs that I bought on Itunes. anyway any help is appreciated. Please respond.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

That sounds like a problem with your internet connection
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

Ipod 4th Gen: I need help to retrieve my music files

Ipod 4th Gen: I updated my OS to the latest. But before i update it, i backup all the files, because the music and photos there is very important to my mom. then after i backup it i updated it then when its done i can no longer see my music files. please help

Synced media like aps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
If the songs are not in your iTunes library then:
- You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- For other music you will have to get it from where you got them before

I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format. It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it. It seems to be in there as a file but not as music.

I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3. How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.
