ITouch play count not reflected on computer

I know this was raised before and was claimed to be fixed but I don't think so - there are songs I play on my iTouch which are not always reflected in the play count/last played on my computer. Version is 1.1.4 (4A102) and iTunes is 7.6.2.9.
Thoughts? Thanks.
-Bob.

I am surprised this issue has not been appropriately been solved or cleared by Apple.
I have an iPod Touch with firmware 1.1.4 and iTunes 7.6.2.9. My old "regular and clunky" iPod (a 60 Gb unit) did sync well all the time.
Now, sometimes, my Touch does not update the Play Count.
As a reference:
- I have it on automatic synching
- I am referring also about "fully played songs" and not skipped ones
- iTunes DOES recognize the Touch: iTunes shows the Touch on its screen and puts on all the synching signs, and the Touch also shows on its display that it is synching. However, sometimes, nothing happens.
My last missing play count episode seems to have happened after I added a new list to the group of selected lists for synching (curiously, the list was just a sub-set of other, previously selected, lists, so its addition did not require uploading any new song to the Touch).
One of the worst issues with this is that it seems to be unpredictable. My Touch got back to synching earlier today after a couple of days of trouble.
Anybody has a clue?
I will do some tests and will report if I find anything I find, but will surely appreciate if anyone can provide some light on this uncomfortable issue.
Tks

ITunes 12 play counts not updating

So... my home Mac hosts my main iTunes library and was on the last version iTunes 11. I connect to it from my Windows laptop in my office, with the Home Sharing setting to update play counts and dates turned on (I need this for certain playlists to work). My Windows machine was also on the latest 11.xx version. After upgrading the Windows machine to iTunes 12.01, this feature stopped working. I can play music from my main iTunes library on my laptop just fine, but they don't get updated with the last play date and count on the main library - like it did earlier this morning.
I then upgraded iTunes on my Mac that hosts the iTunes library and it's now on 12.01 as well - but the problem is still there.
Anyone else have this issue? This isn't the first time I've had an iTunes upgrade break this feature.
Is it ever safe to apply an upgrade to iTunes without worrying about a key feature not working any more?

This again happened to me for a couple of week and all of a sudden my phone decided to go through the 'Trust This Computer' question... and once I clicked 'Yes' it started to remember my last played song.
So... that may be the issue - you, somehow, need to go through that 'Trust This Computer' cycle. Not sure how to force it to do so but someone / somewhere in this discussion board must have the answer

Play counts not updating? - iTunes 11

Just updated to iTunes 11 and track information such as play count, skip count, laste played date, etc. are NOT updating as I listen to songs. I have quite a few smart playlists based around this data and now they aren't updating.
Just me or is this a bug?
Thanks!

Well, how odd. I woke up my computer to find my iTunes behaving in the same manner...
Well as far as I can tell Up Next is not "playing" well with Crossfade (pun intended)
To put it simply, with iTunes 11, you can have either one or the other. Not both. If you have Crossfade on, your play counts/dates will not be updated. If you don't, they will but you won't have any crossfading. I theorize that this new unnecessary feature has broke the functionality between Crossfading and the Last Played/Play Count fields.
Of course, what more can you expect from a powerful company like Apple? After all, Micro$oft Windows Media Player's crossfade has been broken for a while. Stupid software doesn't start timing the next song until AFTER the first one is finished, Someone sure as heck dropped the ball on that one. I guess it's too much to ask for everything to work as it should in either Media Player.

How can I copy my ratings and play count to my new computer?

I am reformatting my computer. Currently all my iTunes songs are saved in the typical iTunes music folder. I also have all my songs backed up on my external hard drive. I really really do not want to lose all my play counts and ratings as that is what a lot of my playlists have been created from. How can I save these settings and transfer them to my reformatted computer?

Chris,
It works the same way as transferring photos or any other content. Copy the folders from the old computer to a flash drive or an external HD, and then from the drive to the new computer.

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

Play count not updating - Shuffle 1st gen

My 1st generation iPod shuffle is not updating the play count or last played fields properly.
I have tested it with a few tracks manually dragged into the iPod, and it seems to work if I do this. However the play counts do not update if I use Autofill from my smart playlist. And I tried limiting my smart playlist to 950 MB (It's a 1GB shuffle) and dragging the playlist manually. Again the play count does not update.
This is a pain as I use the smart playlist to pick songs for my iPod and I use play counts in my smart playlist criteria, so it's messed up the way I use my iPod and iTunes.
(It used to work fine when I had earlier versions of Windows, iTunes and iPod software. I had problems getting iTunes to recognise or sync with the iPod, but updating windows to Service Pack 3 fixed this. But have had this play count problem since. I have up to date versions of iTunes and iPod software.)
Anyone had a similar problem and managed to fix it?

I've had this problem too, since the 8.1 release? It had been failing in shuffle mode but not in "not shuffle"/"in order". As of today it failed to update play date/count after playing in the "not shuffle" mode. The songs that were played are untouched, but a like number of other random songs that had not been played show today's date.
The apparent lack of support for older hardware is really disappointing. It certainly does not motivate me to go out and buy more Apple hardware which they will soon stop supporting.

Play Count not updating

This is obviously not a major problem, but the Play Count counter on iTunes no longer updates how many times songs play on my iPod. Any ideas on how to fix this so it will do so once again?

I am using auto transfer. It used to automatically update and change the Play Count each time I conected the iPod to add new songs. I believe it was showing how many times the song played before I connected the iPod again to add new songs. It does not do that anymore. Most of the songs show no number as ever being played, even though I know the songs have been multiple times.
The date and time on the iPod are correct.
I do play the songs all the way through. Normally, the iPod is playing on Shuffle mode and I just let it keep going through each song.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Play counts not updating on iMac

Updated to iTunes 11. My play counts are fine from my iPhone and an old iPod (still use iPod Photo in my car) as well as my iPod Nano. But if I listen to my music on my iMac it doesn't update play counts.
I am using iTunes Match as well, if that makes a difference. Is this just an iTunes 11 glitch?

NOTE--This issue has been resolved with update 11.0.1.

ITunes play count not increasing on track repeat

I had put I recently downloaded song on repeat in iTunes today. After a few plays, I noticed that the play count had not increased at all. I do have cross fade endabled, so when there is 3 seconds left in the song, the next song would fade in. Maybe a glitch?

This is a bug that has been there since the release of itunes 11.
Turn crossfade off, completely, quit itunes completely and reopen. The play count should work now.

Moving iTunes playlists, ratings and play counts to a new computer

Hi everyone,
I got a new MacBook and had set up and used iTunes on it for the last 6 months. I am just now getting around to moving my old (40GB) iTunes library over from my old computer. I figured out how to move the music files and I successfully imported copies of all of it onto my new computer using the consolidate feature in iTunes 9. What I didn't think about was that I would also like to have my playlists, play counts, import dates, and ratings from my old collection. I only transferred the songs. Is there a way I can merge this info into my new iTunes at this point, or is it too late? I'd be okay with losing the new playlists and information that I created on the new laptop (as long as I didn't lose the actual songs), but the old iTunes has several years of info on it.
Can anyone suggest a way that I can bring that data over without making a complete mess?
Thank you!!!
Rachel

Ah, this is the itunes windows forum so I thought a PC was involved somewhere.
On a Mac, you can do an option-start of itunes to choose a different library.
Just press the Option key while starting itunes.
It is different on a windows PC - you have to press AND HOLD the shift key instead.
This article has screen shots.

+Do you think it would work if I delete the new computer's library first and then copy the old library into the new computer's music folder?+
It should, but that's up to you. If it were me, I'd rename them to something like itunes-old and itunes-new, and use the option-start to toggle between them until I was sure the old one was working OK.
I would definitely put itunes-old in the default folder instead of leaving it on the desktop. That would avoid having multiple folder structures of media scattered around.

Ratings and play counts not synced to iTunes

I just got a 2G iPod nano 2GB. Whenever I add ratings or increase the play count for songs on the iPod and then sync to iTunes, the ratings and play counts are obliterated by whatever iTunes has for its data. Example: I make a 5 star smart playlist in iTunes with Live update, then while listening to iPod I rate some songs with 5 stars. They show up in the playlist on iPod since they have 5 stars, but once I sync with iTunes again, the stars are wiped out and the smart playlist is back to exactly what is was in iTunes.
It seems to me that syncing should take whichever has newer information (iPod or iTunes) and propagate it to the other. I read some topics from others that had this same problem and people have repeatedly stated that Automatic syncing must be enabled and not manually manage music. I don't have room to put all my music on the iPod, but I have enabled automatic syncing with selected playlists. My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod? Or does automatic sync need to be for the entire library in order for ratings and play counts to be propagated? Thanks!
iPod nano 2G Windows XP

My question is this: does this count as automatic updating for the purposes of ratings and play counts being copied to iTunes when I sync with iPod?
it should do. green eyes is a second gen nano, i'm syncing selected playlists only, and my play counts and ratings are updating in the smart playlists.
are you playing the songs through completely? i'm noticing that i only get a playcount update if i've completely played the song. (the ratings changes go through regardless of whether or not i've completely played a song on green eyes, though.)

Shuffle stopped updating play count not once but twice!

My Shuffle used to update playcount. It did so even though it was at version 1.0 of the software. It worked for months - from December or January when I bought it. It stopped a few weeks ago.
Resetting it multiple times erasing and reloding songs, etc. made no difference.
I took it to the Applestore last week and they updated it to version 1.1 and it was updating the play count. It's stopped again.
iTunes is 4.7, same as it's always been since I bought the shuffle.
This is, to say the least, extremely annoying. Now I'm wondering if there's something defective in the Shuffle that's making it stop working. Any ideas?

I took it back to Apple store and got a funny answer.
The Apple guy said "You're expecting too much from the Shuffle".
Why shouldn't I expect the Shuffle to update the playcounts when it used to update the playcounts?
Then he said he'd searched the tech's version of the Knowledge Base and asked the other geniuses and that they concluded the "play count" doesn't work anymore on Shuffles.
I've searched the KB too and there's no info about the Shuffle updating the playcount.

Idoc count not reflecting soon in WE02 Transaction

Hi All,
We are working on one scenario where PI picks the file and posts the IDOCs to ECC.
When we were testing in Quality for multiple files the number of record count of IDOCs in WE02 transaction used to reflect with in seconds in ECC.
When we are testing in Production IDOC count in WE02 is not getting reflected with in short time and its taking lot of time for processing IDOCs.
configuration with respect to PI is same, Any suggestions on this. Has any one faces this kind of instance.
Thanks..

Pretty common issue...In quality system you didn't have teh same load as you have in production. What I mean is in production you have N number of other interfaces running and hence the load on PI server is more which results in the delay.
You can check this document for sizing & performance enhancement techniques which can increase the performance a bit(provided its already not implemented).
