IPod Touch play count WAY too high

My 16GB 2G iPod Touch has a play count which is far too high. It is like 1500 for songs I have added today. Any way to solve this?
I have tried resetting the play counts, skip counts and restoring my iPod. No luck.

I'm having the same issue. I've got an iPod Touch 1G, fully updated. I'm seeing tracks that I've literally not played in weeks maybe even MONTHS come up with hundreds, and songs i've played maybe once or twice come up with thousands. I reset all the play counts to try again but it didn't make a difference, next thing i knew, a whole load of new tracks were up there in the thousands.
It's REALLY annoying, cause I've got a Most Played smart playlist, which doesn't really work in the first place as it doesn't update itself no matter how many times i plug my iPod into the computer, and even if it DID work, it wouldn't be very accurate, and I'd have a load of Janet Jackson interludes clogging up my most played, which gets annoying after a while, no matter how entertaining they are when they're part of the album!
What can we do?!

Ipod touch play counts way too high

Yep, another one. Apple going to do anything about it yet? Had my Ipod Touch 64gb for a week, there's no way I listened to Happy Birthday by the Birthday Massacre 64 times. haven't tried to make a smart playlist yet, but from what I gathered, they haven't made that easy or possible either.
Not asking how to fix it because I don't think anyone really knows, but a simple requisition to apple to FIX IT.

agreed!

IPod touch play count dosnt work

ok my ipod touch doesnt update play counts. like i play though any song all the way throughand plug it in to the computer and it says is hasnt played at all. but when plugged in to the computer the play count works fine. any suggestions on how to get play count working on ipod too???

Play count is a sort of metadata that doesn't have a direct display implementation on the iPod (well it isn't data that is actually saved to the file, but instead stored as a preference in the library database ). It's there, you just can't see it! The exception is if you use smart playlists (see my comment below), where you can use logic to sort tracks by play count into distinct playlists.
With your iPod connected to your computer, playing in iTunes, you can choose to display play count in your track listing. Select View > View Options…, then check the Play Count checkbox.
You can build smart playlists based upon play count and last played, which is a very powerful and handy feature for those who prefer to manually manage their iPod content, allowing you to create dynamic playlists that propagate based on your listening preferences (such as "play only tracks I haven't heard in a while" or "play only newly added tracks I haven't heard yet"). Create a smart playlist in iTunes by holding down the option key and clicking on the create playlist button. This is the solution for new iPod users who complain that their iPod playing in shuffle mode keeps playing the same tracks.
The main problem is that iPod touch does not always properly keep track of play count, something that iPod classic excels at. It's like using a calculator that has an inconsistent math error -- how can you trust it?

IPod Touch Play Count Issue still occuring!!

Guys,
Are there any new updates on a way to fix the play count issue besides 'automatically syncing' the iPod? It's driving me insane. I paid AU$13 for the 3.0 iPod Touch software update and the play counts of my songs are rediculous when I have listened to the song once! ie. 295 play counts for 1 song, when I've listened to it 5 times!!
Thanks in advance

I'm in agreesance.

Step count way too high in iPhone 6 with ios 8.2

I had been using the health app in iPhone 6 to count steps, very successfully until I loaded iOS 8.2. Immediately, the step count inflated by more than 10 times, and it's now recording something like 120,000 steps per day and 200 flights climbed. Anyone else seen this?

My step counts look ok, but I have had some errors with flights climbed. Just today my phone is showing 17 flights when I have probably climbed 5.

On my ipod touch I'm not too sure how I uploaded a album onto my ipod from my laptop. But, now there is no way to delete the album full of pictures. What do I do? I only gotten it a while ago and not fully sure how to work it. Help?

A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

Here's a couple things to try:
1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
Hope one of these works for you!

My bill is way too high

When I first signed up for Verizon I was quoted approximately $165.00 per month for my services. For the past two months my bill is way too high. I had Cox prior to verizon and my bill was much lower and I basically had the same services. If my bill cannot get lower then what it is I will switch back to Cox. Please look into this for me.
Thank you,

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

Ipod touch 4th generation became too slow after ios 6. How can I rollback to iOS 5 or what else can be done. I already did master reset and restored to factory default but no improvement.

You cannot downgrade

Can the iPod Touch play radio stations?

Can the iPod Touch play radio stations? I have an older iPod and I use the Apple product (below) to listen to radio stations on it. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch and was wondering if there's any similar products that I can use for the iPod Touch, or even if there's app that would allow me to play radio stations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA070G/D?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTU1NTExMA

as already said, most (if not all) of the radio station apps require wifi access, which is fine if you just want to listen where you have wifi access (i.e. at home) but not so good if you want to listen out and about.
i recently bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Robi-DAB-iPod-adapter/dp/B000X24UOM
which is brilliant, but i see you're in america, and i dont think you have DAB (digital) Radio over there. there may well be similar products out there though.

Temps Way Too High

Please help me! lol
I just built a new PC and the the processor is 3.2Ghz P4.
It has a Zalman 7000Al/Cu cooler and it hitting a much too high temperature!
The case has a front 80mm intake fan (not bringing air into the case as its blocked), a 80mm side fan bringing loadsa air into the case and then 2 x80mm fans extracting at the back. Plus the PSU has a 120mm fan over the CPU.
Now the problem is that at idle the cpu temp is about 45C but in game it rises steeply. When running 3DMark 2003 about half way it hit 65C. That is way too high.
Now the thing is that when I feel the zalman it is hardly even hot. So obviously isnt making good contacts. Am I right. If so how do i fix this.
I Did use artic silver III on the heatsink and a fine amount so that you could just read the writing on the CPU. What else can I do please? Shouldnt the heatsink be at least hot?
Thanks. Answer quick!

Ah, you seem to have the exact problem I only just got over. I just upgraded my P4C 2.8Ghz's cooler from stock to a Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu, and at first, I had temperature hell, getting temperatures like you are, but it seems I had just misapplied the thermal paste. I'm using the included Zalman paste, and from the tests I've seen, AS3 is only just very very slightly better than it, I'm talking maybe half a degree C.
The way I eventually found to apply it which gave the best result was to put the usual slightly smaller than a grain of rice dollop of the paste right in the middle of the processor, then sit the cooler on top of that, and give it a bit of a twist side-to-side so that it mashes out the paste. You can take a look underneath to make sure this has given a good spread, don't worry if it doesn't cover the whole heat spreader, it shouldn't, and in any case the core which you are cooling is only under a tiny part of that huge plate. As long as it's a reasonable size spread, just go from there and install the cooler as normal, and you should find it works fine. While this method of grease application seems to be against most of the guides I've read, it definitely works fine (I'm getting 29C idle, max 45C load, in a case with absolutely horrid ventilation), and is in fact the way Arctic Silver recommend.
So give that a try, it worked for me.
Oh, and on the whole temperature misreporting deal, while I'm pretty sure my CPU is measured fine, is there some kind of issue with the system temp readings? I should check my BIOS version, but I'm just puzzled in that my system temp tends to read about 40C, which is way more than even my CPU.

The bottom list of apps on my ipod touch screen is way higher than its suppose to be

hi i have an ipod touch 2nd generation i dont update it to often cause i have very very slow iternet and it can take up to 4 hours and i dont have the time to update it but the bottom list of apps i dont know what its called but i think its the app bar is way higher than normal i dont know why the only app i really use is pandora i dont know if that helps

HI,
Try a Reset of your Device... You will not lose any data
Turn iPod touch off and turn it on again.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Is there a way to restore an iPod's play count? It mysteriously disappeared

For some random reason, my iPod decided to erase the play count of all of the songs on my iPod...but it left other things, like Genre, Date Added, Last Played, Skip Count, etc. The Last Played column especially makes no sense because it'll say that I last played a particular song "12/4/2009 12:58PM" and have the play count as 0.
Is there any way to restore the play count? I'm particularly annoyed because I had a smart playlist that contained the top 30 most played songs on my iPod.
And I don't think my iTunes Library would be of any use; I've stopped using the iTunes Library to manage my music for quite some time now. I only use iTunes as a middle man for dragging and dropping my music onto my iPod (so obviously I don't use the syncing feature).

Tyler:
First, start Task Manager. Kill iTunes.exe, iPodService.exe, and iTunesHelper.exe. Just select them and End Process on each one.
Next, use these instructions to put the iPod into forced disk mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Now, connect it to the computer. You should be able to recognize the iPod in this way.
If these instructions do not work, then something else is wrong, and whatever device locks up is where the problem is. Meaning that
-if the iPod won't go into Forced Disk Mode or comes out of Forced Disk mode, then the iPod has the problem and needs to be replaced (it's not fixable by you)
-if the computer locks up, then the computer probably needs to be formatted and have Windows reinstalled, since no Apple software is now running on the thing (you killed the only three pieces of Apple software that matter)
This is one of those things that is simply always true. There's no trickery involved, no way you can make it behave other than the way I've laid it out above. It's a simple matter of knowing how the stuff works.
So, I hope that helps you find the problem at least, if not to fix it. In forced disk mode, with no Apple software running, the iPod is just like any other external hard drive. Nothing special to it.
