ITunes 10.5 doesn't sync play count with iPhone (iOS 5).

My iPhone (with 3rd-party app Music Stats) shows the correct play count, rating and Last Played data, but none of these are synced to my iTunes library. Moreover, after the sync, everything is the same on my iPhone. Still can transfer new songs and apps between the two, looks like the issue is only affecting the songs' metadata. Anyone else with the same issue?

I'm having the same problem - although I don't have Music Stats to check if the play counts have been updated internally. I mostly listen to full albums, and while some have been properly synced, there are others that were only partially updated (i.e., see the following print screen - there should be twelve Fennesz tracks with one play instead of only two songs).

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

i'm having this issue too. it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts. it still didn't work.
now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
any ideas?

Manually Managed Ipod - Syncing Play Count with Itunes Library

I've had a 80gb 5th Generation Classic for 7 years or so, ive always manually managed it. Now that i've bought an iphone 5 with enough storage for my itunes library i want to transfer my music onto my new phone, so i don't need to carry round an ipod and iphone!
However my play counts in my library are all very low as i don't play music on my laptop too often.
Is there a way to get the play counts off my manually managed ipod on to my laptop to put on my phone? I would really like to continue my play counts from my ipod to my iphone.
Much appreciated.

Hey, apologies for not getting back sooner, ive been working away.
I've just tried the script out and i appear to be having some issues.
When i script more than a handful of songs (15+ ish), i get the following error:
Line: 136
Char: 53
Error: The track is not modifiable
Code: A0040203
Source (null)
and consequently none of the stats are transferred over.
If i script in small batches i seem to be able to script and also focus in on the song that appears to be causing the issue, and the error pops up again when i only script the suspect song. However the stats also get scrpted over from the song. I then pick the next 10 songs or so and script and carry on. With over 7500 songs this is a long long exercise.
Do you know any reason for the above error, and is there anything to solve it?
I must point out im scripting from my iphone 5. My ipod was left at work so ill try that tomorrow night. The itunes version im using is the latest build, 11.0.0.163
Cheers.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

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.

How to sync play count between new iPad and Mac?

I recently get a new iPad, and I listen to music on it a lot. I would like to sync the "recently played" and "play count" with my computer, as I can with my iPhone, but it doesn´t seem to be doing that. I have the ipad fully updated, and my computer too!
Any ideas how to do this?
On another note, my iTunes is allways above the other windows, I have checked my preferences and asked to NOT do this, but it persists. Any ideas here?

Forgot to mention, I am NOT using itunes match

IPad not syncing play counts

Hi,
My iPad isn't syncing play counts when I connect it to my PC.
I use the 'manually manage music' feature to put music on my iPad, usually about 10-15 albums to listen to at a time.
But after I've played them, the play counts don't update when I sync my iPad with my PC when I want to change my music.
They do update on the iPad itself, but won't update on iTunes on my PC.
This means I have to manually update my play counts in iTunes, which is very frustrating and time-consuming.
Has anyone had this issue before and did they find a solution?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I might be able to help you with this. I do not have an iPad but I can tell you that I also use PowerBooks and PowerMacs that are running Mac OS 10.5.8 (Leopard with updates). I have the same problem with my iPhone 5 and what it comes down to is the version of iTunes that is supported on the older Macs that use the PowerPC processor instead of the newer Intel based systems. The last version of ITunes to run on the PPC based Macs including iMacs and iBooks is not capable of syncing with the newer iPhones and I am fairly certain that will apply to your iPad as well. You also will not be able to use ICLOUD on you iMac as well. I hope this helps you snd if you have any further questions please let me know.
Cheers,
Dr. Matt

Syncing play counts between two computers

Is it possible to sync play counts (and other settings such as favorites, playlists, backups, etc) between two computers?
I purchased a new computer for school, but I am interested in continuing to use my old one as well. The old one is where my info is accumulated of course, but I would like to add my counts, playlists, ratings etc. from my old computer onto the new one, and hopefully sync them between each other as well.
As unnecessary as this sounds, I am wondering if it is possible and how it can be achieved. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

iOS devices sync to one computer.
It is not possible (at least not easily) to sync to multiple computers.
What you can do is copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the existing computer to the new computer. Then everything in iTunes on the new computer will be exactly as it was on the old computer.
There is no syncing, at least not within iTunes.
Other programs do exists that will allow you to sync specific folders between multiple computers.

Just upgraded latest Itunes version & it doesn"t Sync

Just upgraded latest Itunes version & it doesn"t Sync I tried reinstalling Itunes with the virus checker off. Also, I used cables instead of wifi but my ipad & Iphone still don't sync. Any ideas Thank You

Hi am33m,
Sounds like iTunes Match hasn't sync'd the songs properly. Am I correct that on iOS devices the songs appear greyed out? I've had this problem as well recently. You could try going back to the computer you added the songs on, selecting them from your iTunes library and deleting them but telling iTunes to keep the files.
I did have some luck following the steps at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18597236#18597236 however that was short lived and stopped being effective shortly after. You may have more success.
1. List all your songs in your library and right-click the column headers to show iCloud Status
2. Sort by this column and look for all of the tracks at Waiting Status
3. Select all of the tracks at Waiting Status, right click and delete them, click Delete Items on the first prompt as shown below (This won't delete your music from your computer):
4. IMPORTANT: At the second prompt that appears after you click Delete Items select Keep Files
5. Select Add to Library from the File menu and navigate to your iTunes folder in the Music under your Home folder.
Leave iTunes to rebuild your library (it might take a while if you have a lot of tracks that were at waiting status). Once it is complete, update iTunes Match once it's finished and it should upload the tracks
Following that process should rebuild the song information for those tracks in your iTunes library and may help iTunes Match sync up properly. If it doesn't let me know as there are some people including myself that haven't had much luck lately getting past this issue.

HT1296 my computer crashed and I had to reinstall itunes and now I cannot sync my ipod with my computer

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes. Now I cannot sync my iPod with my computer. Any suggestions?

Was this issue ever resolved?
Ditto for me! I am so upset because about 15 years, I've had the same old Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player which worked perfectly fine until the day Gigabeat (the software) upgraded to a Vista-compatibility program which made the MP3 go haywired!! I couldn't get the MP3 player (again) to work as normal prior to the update. Then, two years later, the business no longer supports MP3 players, nor does it invest in software patches! Now I have a failed equipment ... though it still plays, but just won't let me work the controls to choose or select tracks! I can only operate the on/off button on the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 player! AND, concidentally, the battery seems to shorten (lessen)! Interesting...
Then, I decided okay, I had enough...I can't play over 5.000 songs just to return to start; I decided to purchase the Apple iPod Classic 160 GB Silver! I've had it only since March 2012. It worked wonderfully at first. It took me months to put all the music from my CDs to this magical device. And, then, all of a sudden, my computer CRASHED (ironically in JUNE 2012!!) and lost all on the hard drive ... perhaps it is not ironic afterall.
Here's a tall quesion to Apple manufacturer, are they preparing us to confiscate our equipment? It sure seems that way to me!
No support from Toshiba (which, by the way, are currently investing in so-called "green energy in nuclear projects" in the state of Texas), nor is there any support by Apple ... Interesting! Sorry for babbling. But I'm tired of big money making corporations putting on the bluffer masks on the public! Something just ain't right! Hold tight to your vinyls, tape decks, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs... This may be just another whim to making big time money!

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

I download podcasts to iTunes, arrange em in Playlists, sync em to my iphone, listen to em on Podcasts app. For some reason, not every podcast loads from iTunes to my phone. In one playlist, I have 48 episodes on iTunes, only 35 load to my iPhone. Why?

In some cases, but not all, the Podcast app doesn't sync podcast episodes with the same Title, even though the episode may be from a different date and is therefore a different episode. The Podcast app seems to think it is a duplicate episode but it is not. I wish Apple would just allow podcasts to load to, and be listened to, from the Music app.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.
Jim
