ITunes will not recognize my Recently Played music from my iPod

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and I also upgraded
my iPod as well to 1.2. I've been having problems
with my iTunes not keeping track of the recently
played tracks. If I look into my ipod history via
iTunes it doesn't list any recently played tracks is
there any way to fix this? thanks!
hello.
i wonder, have you resolved this problem? if not, i had the same problem, and it was really annoying me. i, too, posted a message on these boards - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3639877#3639877. nobody replied though. so, not knowing what else to do, i reset my ipod because i also had recently updated both my ipod and itunes software when i started having this problem. this seemed to fix it somehow.
if you are still having the problem, maybe try doing this.
let me know if this works for you :o)

ITunes will not recognize CD or play it

So, I put a CD in my computer that my sister burned for me, and iTunes does not recognize it so I cannot import it. And if I try to play any of the songs from the CD that does not work either. The files are in AIFF format, I don't know if that makes any difference. So, what's the deal? Anyone got any ideas?

Please have a look at my post in this thread. Hopefully the advice will be of some use.

Itunes will not read some of me music from my external harddrive?????

I keep getting a(!) everytime I try to open up music that is in wma file, what do I need to do???

a wma file is a Microsoft file. it will only play in Windows media player and afew other players that have basicly paid Microsoft a fee to have there players able to play wma files. iTunes will not play wma files at all BUT itunes makes it easy as pie to convert those files into something it can play long as there not protected wma's you may have bought online. First goto edit, preferencs. Once there in the settings, hit the "Advance" tab at top, you will see 3 more tabs appear below. hit the "Import" tab there you will most likly want to set it to "MP3" so you will be able to play all songs u import or rip from CDs on iTunes and other apps. Below that you can set the bit rate. after that just rightclick all the songs with the ! beside them and select Import or convert section to MP3

ITunes will not allow me to tranfer songs from my ipod

Hello! I just bought a new computer and downloaded iTunes 7 on it. I then authorized it. I cannot get music from my ipod (that I had before I got the new computer) onto my new library. Also, I cannot burn a playlist I created from my ipod (listed under devices). The burn button is not in the lower right hand corner. Any ideas? Thank you

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. Neither can you burn from an iPod playlist, only from one in iTunes. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases only. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

I have lost the computer library of tunes downloaded from CDs onto ITunes . So when I sync my Ipod ( with all CD and Itune downloads) with ITunes library (only ITune downloads) will I lose the CDs held on my Classic IPod. Thanks for your consideration.

Likely. Copy them from the iPod to your computer by:

TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen. I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing. Now, what??

iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device. It has been recognized in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen. The device connects to the Mac and charges allright. All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

HT1459 Serial number is faded and too small to read. Itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. How can I delete the current iPod software and reinstall it to see if this would solve the problem?

I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

Yep.

My itunes will not recognize my ipod touch

I'm using a Mac desktop and it/my itunes will not recognize my ipod touch. I have resent my ipod and have also done all the suggested things on the apple website and still it is not being recognized, I do not know what else I can do. My macbook will recognize my ipod touch but I don't want to sync it to that itunes since it is already out of date, I want to sync it to my desktop mac where I already have the latest version of itunes, and all the music I want to sync onto my ipod touch. What can I do?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My itunes will not recognize my ipod shuffle after installing Mcafee

My itunes will not recognize my Ipod shuffle, I have tried almost everything Itunes has suggested including uninstalling and installing Itunes. I am at a loss, the computer recognizes the ipod and assigns a drive to it. When I click on the drive there are flies in it. I have disabled the firewall, checked all firewall settings as suggested in previous forums. I have tried deleting the temp files but that keeps getting hung up on a file that says it is in use. I can stll use my ipod because it charges but I can not update songs etc.
I contacted Mcafee but all they did was turn the firewall off (I could have done that myself).
If there is any help I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Nadine

The first thing I did in the morning was contact McAfee they turned the firewall off it didnt work so they said it wasnt their problem. I attempted several other things using ITunes help but none of the solutions worked. I would say it is something in my computer but the drive shows up in my files so the computer is reading the USB port. I tried changing the drive but that didnt help.
I cannot find a universal "OFF switch" in McAfee But I have turned the firewall off several times after many different attempts.
I do not find an area where I can tell Itunes where the Ipod is in Windows Explorer, that would be helpful at least it could try to locate it then. You would think this feature would be available since Itunes would like us to purchase music through them to load on our equipment. Since my computer does not recognize my Ipod there is no need for me to purchase music.
Do I sound frusturated - I AM But I appreciate your trying to help.

ITunes Will Not Recognize My CD/DVD Drive In My Windows Vista PC.

All,
I was forced to migrate to a new PC for work. It is running Windows Vista Enterprise. Since receiving the PC, iTunes will not recognize my CD/DVD Drive. I receive the following error message:
"Warning, The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing....." etc.
I have completed the following troubleshooting steps with no success:
1. Deleted upper and lower filters in the registry per the Microsoft fix from their web site.
2. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes/Quicktime/Etc.
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled the CD/DVD Drive
4. Verified that other programs recognize and can burn to my CD/DVD drive. I have Windows Media Player and Roxio Creator Basic installed.
5. Verified that Windows Vista recognizes my CD/DVD drive.
6. Installed the GEAR driver recommended on the Apple Support page for this issue.
All of my music in is iTunes and I prefer to burn my CD's via iTunes. I have read that several people are having this issue.
Does anyone have a solution? There has to be a fix out there somewhere.
I can downgrade to XP but it will take an "Act Of Congress" for my corporate IT group to send me the XP downgrade CD.
Any solutions or recommendations are great appreciated.

I have a Samsung tablet and iTunes will not recognize device to synch

Itunes does not sync to non Apple devices.

HT1349 I have multiple albums that I've purchased that iTunes will not allow me to play stating they cannot locate the source. I then tried going into available downloads in iTunes to see if I needed to download it again, and iTunes tells me it is already

I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?

Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer. Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files. They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source. The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
On your computer, search for one of the songs. All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest. When you find it, note the directory and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
Ibarra.
Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file. I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
Second side effect, if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play.

ITunes Will Not Recognize

I currently have iTunes and an iPod video. I just recently bought an ipod nano, and itunes will not recognize it when I plug in the USB. Will I have to use the new software for iTunes that came with the nano, or is there some way to get the ipod nano to register on the iTunes?

The problem is that cause the i pod is used it needs the driver that came with it make sure u have added hardware with the driver properly. Sometimes when switching between i pods the i tunes gets confused and needs constant updatiing > support>downloads>i pod updater this will make sure any i pods u have will be updated. If u have an old version of i tunes use version 6 it might help uninstall then install version 6 saving files of course. Make sure that the i tunes recognizes it by going to i pod options bottom right hand corner then i pod tab if it says its not connected go to device manager>my comptuer>right click>properties>hardware>device manager>under usb mass storage device>location it will have in brackets i pod that means the i pods defatly connected and it proves its defatly a software problem not hardware sorry cant help more u could always try a support agent get the serial number on the i pod its on the back 11 digits i think good luck
