ITunes not updating info

I recently upgraded iTunes to version 7.6.2 on my desktop and laptop. Now, songs played on my iPod are not recognized as being played in iTunes on either machine - the Last Played Date and Play Count data are not updated. Songs played through iTunes are updated appropriately. I didn't do anything to the iPod itself, so I'm assuming this has to do with the iTunes upgrades. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there anything to be done about it? Thanks.

It is set to manual music sync - always as been, and it has always updated the info properly before. It does sync my calendar and address book info automatically. Syncing isn't the problem; it's the data on the music in the iPod itself that isn't being updated.

*** is up with itunes not updating my info??

*** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.

Itunes not updating bonjour error

Itunes not updating bonjour error (the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

ITunes not updating after 30 episodes

hi, im a bit desperate...
i own a podcast produced with podPress plugin under Wordpress. The plugin has an option to configure some iTunes store things. It has worked for 30 episodes but the iTunes store is not updating any more from its feed:
http://www.inq-mag.com/?feed=podcast
I have added 3 more episodes but they dont appear on the iTunes podcast page, as well as the info and podcast picture. I guess the problem comes from updating Wordpress, but the feed looks OK.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=267963091
I dont know what has happened but i see im not going to be capable to solve myself...

One of three things has happened.
1. iTunes has stopped updating altogether from the feed.
2. There is something in the feed since episode 30 which has caused iTunes to choke on it and not read it.
3. Wordpress has changed the feed URL so that the feed you link to is not the one that iTunes is using. Since it's not possible to detect from iTunes the feed it's using I can't check on this. However using 'Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast' in iTunes does show ten episodes up to 33, as does the feed you link to.
1 & 3 are unlikely but I suppose possible. Did you do something to the feed after episode 30?
If you submit your feed to http://www.feedvalidator.org it is flagged as valid (this isn't absolute, I've seen iTunes reject feeds which FeedValidator thought was valid); however you will see several comments, principally about the use of HTML code in the summaries etc., which strictly you shouldn't be doing.
More important, the 'item' tag for episode 30 contains two 'enclosures'. The usual result of this error is that the second one is simply ignored, but I suppose it's possible that this could cause iTunes to choke and refuse to update the feed.
More than that I can't comment, not being familiar with WordPress. If they have a Help area or a forum you could try asking there.

Coverflow not updating info?

I'm trying find a way to "force" coverflow to update the info it displays. I recently updated my music library, changing lower case "the" to upper case ("The Fall" as opposed to "the Fall", for example) and, while the info updates in the Sorting and Info windows, it will not update in coverflow. Cleaning caches and restarting didn't help; any ideas?

will getting rid of those delete all the album art I spent so much time hunting down?
No, you won't loose any album art.
The 'Local' folder only contains cached pictures (copies) which are shown in Cover flow and List View grouped with artwork.
By deleting this folder you force iTunes to (re)scan all the song files and copy the pictures from the songs (one per album) to the 'Local' folder.
Don't delete the 'Download' folder which is also in the 'Album Artwork' folder.
The 'Download' folder contains pictures which are downloaded from the iTunes Store (by 'Get Album Artwork).
Other pictures you downloaded yourself and added to the tracks, are attached to the song file (tagged).
An example of how this works with mp3's can be found here:

ITunes NOT updating applications correctly

Things are not well in the land of iPhone Application updates. Below are some observations and thoughts on might be causing them. Please post your experiences since I assume I'm not alone here.
Step 1: I noticed in the iTunes sidebar that 2 applications had updates (thats the little number that shows up next to the applications sidebar item)
Step 2: I click on the number and it opens an update screen that displays 6 applications. Why display 6 of my 10 or so applications when supposedly only two have updates.
Step 3: I click on the option to update all applications and 6, not 2, are downloaded
Step 4: No auto sync happens so I manually sync and only one of the 6 update on my iphone.
Step 5: In order to actually get the new versions onto my iphone I have had to manually delete each of the updated applications and then add them back. Huge pain especially since application load/unload times are so long.
Here is the common thread I've found so far. If you right click an application's icon in iTunes and get info, it will show a version number. Only one of my applications actually showed an incremented version number...you guessed it...the one that actually re-synced to my iPhone.
The other applications still showed version 1.0, but when I manually forced a sync, I could see that the new functionality was present. AIM is a great example of this. ITunes store shows it as version 1.1. iTunes on my Mac indicated an update was present. I "updated" the application and sync'ed, but the "show info" on the AIM application remains 1.0 and it did NOT sync the new code to my iphone. After manually deleting AIM via selective sync'ing applications, I was able to get the new code onto my iphone.
I've been able to reproduce this with Phone Sabre, AIM, Light, and several others.
Another side problem is that whenever you update an application, it downloads it to your mobile applications folder and does not overwrite the old version. This may well be by design, but that folder is going to get ugly with all the versions sitting there. AIM, AIM-1, AIM-2, etc.
The naming, btw, has nothing to do with the version numer it's just part of OSX; when it encounters a file of the same name it uses the same name but appends an incremented number at the end.
Any ideas?

Yeah...this is definitely NOT a firewall issue.
It is a version control and file management issue.
There are lots of applications that the App store still calls V 1.0 even though w/in the application itself, it is listed as 1.x.
This is often true of the application icon listed within iTunes on your Mac. For example, right click and get info on AIM, it will show as v1.0 even thought it is actually 1.1.
To be honest, iTunes needs some serious work when it comes to how applications are updated. Some attention to detail with respect to version numbers will fix the problems I've listed above, but the file management is another story.
Why? Well, how many people have multiple "versions" of a song, ringtone, or video that they want referred to by the same name. Ummmm...none that I can think of. iTunes was not designed with "updates" in mind. A different version of a song...is...well...a different song. You probably want both the original and the cover version of that Beatles tune.
For applications, we want just the opposite. If artists actually released the the draft versions of their music via iTunes, then maybe it would be similar, but they don't.
Some reasonably straight forward Applescript should be able to fix this issue, but that certainly wouldn't work for our friends in the PC world.
Apple is going to have to find some way to stage new versions and then archive the old ones with the option to delete them either immediately or over time.
As it stands now...it's a pretty big mess.

New Podcast for iTunes Not Updating in the iTunes Store

Hello Apple Community,
My name is Sara Simms, I have recently started a new DJ podcast series called Flight. My new episode has not updated yet in the iTunes store (its been over three days since I uploaded it)
My podcast episodes are hosted here:
http://sarasimms.blogspot.ca
My Feedburner URL is:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/sarasimmsflightofficialpodcast
I also uploaded new artwork via Feedburner, in the 'Podcast' section of iTunes I see the artwork has updated.
However, in the iTunes store itself, the new artwork is not displayed. Here is the link to my iTunes podcast:
http://bit.ly/VM8tcF
I just pinged Feedburner, hopefully this helps to update everything.
Could anyone else please let me know if there's anything else I should check/change to make sure my podcast episodes are updating?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Sara Simms

Hello Sai,
You can try below and let me know the result.
I believe you must be using cycle counting method. Make sure the person name of inventory document creator and the person who actually count the document is same. If so then last counting date will be correctly updated. I would advice you to simulate below scenario.
Create the PI document and assign the name of person. And perform the actual counting by another person by exactly same method for which you were getting an error. Then observe the results.
If above solution fails to find out the cause then consult SAP.
Cheer up!! and all the best!!!

ITunes not updating sorting in iTunes Music folder

I have enabled "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". iTunes will properly sort files based on the ID3 data when I first import them, but it does not update the filenames or folder names when I change song information from within iTunes. I don't know what the exact behavior of this option is supposed to be. iTunes says it "Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on disc number, track number, and the song title." This description is consistent with its behavior when importing tracks but does not say whether it will continue to move things afterward.
I'd like to know what the exact behavior of this option is supposed to be and if there is a way to force an update of the sorting. I'm thinking re-importing would work, but I've got 25,000 songs so that would be an unwieldy last resort at best.

ITunes not updating audio files on iPhone 4s

On Mac 10.7.2, iTunes 10.5.1, and iOS 5.0.1. I have made changes to the genre of a few of my audio files but they are not updating on iTunes. iTunes appears to go through the entire process of syncing but no changes are made. I'm assuming I'm not the only one this has happened to so are there any known solutions?
Thanks!

oh no!! try doing a reset

ITunes not updating iPod rated songs

I have used iTunes and iPods for several years. I always use automatic updating. Previously, any change to a song rating I made on my iPod would be reflected in my iTunes library after a sync. Since my most recent iTunes update (7.1.1), I have two problems. (1) iTunes does not update the ratings changes made on my iPod and (2) podcasts which I listen to on my iPod are not marked as "not new" in iTunes. It appears that Apple has screwed up something in the sync process in the newest iTunes version. Is anyone else having this problem?

Having exactly the same problem as your first issue. In the playlist of top-rated tunes they all appear. However my iTunes library has 460 relevant tunes, whereas the same playlist on the iPod has 100 fewer. They are greyed out and can't be changed and aren't played.
Any ideas?

ITunes Not Updating iPod When It States That It Has

I purchased songs from the iTunes store. I have automated update. Windows and iTunes recognize my iPod. I get the message that my iPod is updated after I plug it in but it's not updated. I can't get my iPod to update even though the message states that it is updating. What am I doing wrong?

Something might get the wrong idea<<</div>
I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that, Jim.

ITunes not updating backups?

I just ran into this on my Mac - it appears that iTunes is not updating the backup files for my iPhone when it says it is doing so. I just got my iPhone 4, and started the process of migrating to the new iPhone. I backed up the old iPhone, then plugged the new iPhone in. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I tried to restore from backup. The newest backup according to iTunes was May 22. I had just synced prior to the migration.
Any ideas on what is going on? How I might locate the most recent backup?

Deleted all older backups and forced the backup

Itunes not updating my 2.2.1 software. Message says I have the latest version

How do I get Itunes to update recognize that 2.2.1 is not the latest version and to update to the latest version?

The final version for the 3G is 4.2.1. It cannot be updated beyond that. To update even to that you must have the latest version of iTunes (10.3.1) You don't say what type of computer you have, but if it is a Mac you must have OS X Leopard (10.5.x) or higher to install the latest iTunes.

Apps in iTunes NOT updating

I have a large library of apps in itunes, not all of which are installed on my iPhone or iPad. When I open iTunes, and check my apps section, I have 204 apps that need updating. I have no problems updating apps on my mobile devices, but iTunes will not update the apps. I am prompted with the message "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." This has been happening for quite sometime. I can still purchase apps, music, and other media through iTunes no problem, so clearly the store is available. All of my software is up to date, FYI. Any suggestions? Thanks

Itunes not updating new Podcast feeds

We have 50 different weekly shows that have been updating fine until this last Monday. Nothing has changed on this end. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Well I'm really glad I have found this, ill tell you why.
I own crankygamersuk.net, now due to my very limited resources I have always gone with a free hosting service, which severely limits my space, meaning I can only get 2 of my podcast on there at a time, consequentially I have to delete the oldest whenever I put the latest one on.
Now I tell you this so you can understand my problem.
So this has been the case for nearly 3 years of my podcast, and not once have we had any problems, until now.
For some unknown reason, people who are subscribed to my cast on there mobile device are only getting to see the last 2 episodes showing up, even though I have put the latest one up, and deletes the old one.
Example, go check itunes now for "cranky gamers uk", and you will see only episodes 91 and 92, and yet last Friday, I deleted 91 from my host, and uploaded 93.
So right now anyone on a mobile device can not get the podcast the way they used to because Itunes is not updating fast enough.
Of course if you go on a PC or Mac, you can right click and select update to receive the latest show.
But that is not good enough, I have many mobile subscribers.
So can someone tell me what the latest situation is, and what the best option is, this is effecting my subscriptions.
Also would you contact support?, if so anyone have best address for inquiries.
thanks
