ITunes rating issue

Hi everyone,
I have been having a issue with iTunes rating some new music when importing it. It will show my normal star ratings I put in, but then on some albums it shows all 5 stars but the are empty and just outlined. When I sync my iPhone it puts these on My Top Rated playlist and I can not rate them back to 0 stars. Below is a screenie...please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this.

Sorry, but it does work like that in certain circumstances, like mine.
{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}I don't rate my albums and none of my songs have hollow/empty star ratings.{quote}
That's good for you, but it doesn't help anyone who IS getting automatic song ratings, like I do.
{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}Keep in mind their is a column for both Rating and an *Album rating*.{quote}
Thanks, but I understand the difference between the two - I even specifically noted the difference it in my post
{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}An autorating (empty star) will not transfer from an album to a song and vice-versa.
If it did, then when you rate one song 5 stars then every song on that album would automatically go to 5 stars. It doesn't.{quote}
That's the entire problem right there. I have NEVER rated an album in the entire time I've used iTunes (since 1.0) yet I frequently find that I have to unset an Album Rating (ALBUM, not SONG) that has automatically been applied by iTunes. It seems to occur mainly when you don't listen to the album all at once and rate one song at a time over several days or weeks.

  • My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

    The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
    I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
    Any help would be apprecated.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • Rating issue with explorer only

    Hi,
    We're having issue with IE 8-10 and "Ratings" on every page that hold them.
    Problem description:
    1. Open some page containing Ratings (EnterpriseWiki layout if you may)
    2. Ratings at the right side won't show pics (small stars)
    3. After refreshing the page they are shown (which is great)
    4. But, after going to the same page again, they're not shown.
    The issue repeats itself almost in every farm (8 at least) and it doesn't matter if site customized, upgrade from 2010 or installed OOTB.
    It's important to note that this issue happens ONLY in IE versions, while FFX and Chrome rendering Ratings without any problem.
    Also, it is not a Distributed Cache issue (check with microsoft support already).

    Hi ,
    Did it work well when you used IE 8 document mode?
    If yes, you can force to use IE 8 mode on SharePoint 2013 installation by adding X_UA-Compatible tag to master page. You need to add the
    control as :
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>

  • IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

    I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
    I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
    The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
    Anyone else?
    I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

    There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
    As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

  • Itunes update issue

    I updated iTunes but receive the following message: AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotofication...  Now iTunes will not run.  I even tried the repair option on the iTunes download website.  Any suggestions?

    Does this happen if you start iTunes in safe mode, hold Shift and Control while launching it?

  • ITunes storevconnection issue

    I am experiencing connection to iTunes Store issue since 12:00 AM PST April 12. It happened on all of my devices (Macbook, iPad, iPhone). I have connection to the internet and can go to yahoo/google fine.

    I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
    what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
    mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
    no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
    i hope this works for you!!

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

    click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes.  Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...".  Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize.  The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

  • ITunes/AppleTV issues

    Hello,
    I'm trying to play iTunes music from my iMac on my Apple TV.
    The iMac is running OSX 10.6.8 (Intel core 2 duo)
    I have just upgraded iTunes, believing this to be required in order to connect with AppleTV. Since the upgrade, I am unable to open iTunes on the iMac. I icon bobs three times and nothing happens.
    Figured that perhaps the OS needs updating, but unable to download Yosemite either.
    Not sure what my next step should be. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi BrianMktg,
    Oh man, that definitely sounds frustrating! Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like iTunes is no longer responding/opening on your iMac. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue before moving on to the AirPlay issue. To begin, you can attempt the steps in the following resources:

  • HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

    My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

    By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
    If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
    If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac

  • How can I resolve iPod Touch 4th gen charging and iTunes connection issue?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and the other day it stopped charging.  When I pug it in, it appears to be receiving a minimal charge to keep it alive, but isn't restoring the battery life and doesn't show that the battery is accepting the charge.  After plugging it in for a day, the battery was only partially charged to approximately 20%.  I've tried several USB cables and different plug-ins to no avail.
    Then I tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple Device Manager and iTunes software, and resetting the iPod.  I've also tried holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time while connecting the iPod to the computer with iTunes software open.  Nothing seems to work.  I have other iPods/iPhones that connect to iTunes without issue, so it is isolated event with this iPod Touch.  I was hoping to restore the iPod to its original settings to see if that would do the trick, but am unable to figure out how without iTunes.  Any suggestions?  help! 

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
