Last track on album won't count for plays.

Hello! Well I love the new IT 7 and all, and I just got the update to it (7.0.1.8) a week or so ago, and now I've noticed that if I pull up a single album in my library, after it plays through the tracks, the last track stops on 0:00 left and the play count doesn't tick. I know it's a small thing but I'm kind of a play count junkie and little things like this **** me off.

I have been unable to duplicate the problem in the other circumstances you described:
It also happens if you wait for a track to finish then >manually force a different track to play within the first ~4 >seconds of the next track starting.
As far as I can tell, both the 'Last Played' timestamp and the 'Play Count' are only updated when a track reaches it's end and either playback stops (last track in a playlist) or continues on to the next track in the playlist. This prevents a track but being counted if one skips through it, even if it has started playing. This would also explain why hitting the 'Next' [>>] button updates the information correctly whenever playback hangs at the very end (-0:00) of a last track. I haven't experienced hanging any earlier in a track as others in the thread have.

  • Did up-grade on a game - now game won't open for play

    did free upgrade on game superslots - now game won't open for play can anyone
    assist me with this - thanks

    Me too... The other post relating to this was with a PC but the same is happening for macs too by the look of it. Has anyone got an idea of how to sort this out? I don't suppose it's possible to find an earlier version of iTunes to download? I'm going to have a search now cos I need iTunes to be working!

  • HT5278 i did this update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though! ne1

    i did the ios5.1.1 update and now the volume on my phone doesn't appear when i push the buttons on the side of the phone. occasionally i see them, but my speakers won't work for playing videos or music either. it does ring when i receive a call though, and for my alarm. ne1 else had these problems?

    I have had this happen to me on 3GS, 4 and 4s.   Usually the solution is one of the following:
    1-  If  your volume indicator says  headphones even though they are not plugged in, then:
    Stick your headphones into the headphone jack and then remove quickly.
    2. If that does not work Power your phone off. Then when restarting Reset the phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time until the apple logo appears.
    3. Make sure you have not chosen to send audio to an Airplay device such as Apple Tv.
    Hope one of these works for you

  • Airport Express - last track of album freezes

    When playing an album in iTunes 7.0.2 the last song freezes with only 2 seconds or less remaining. I try to pause and resume playback without any luck. The only way to complete the playback is to choose "Computer" speakers. This has been a problem with all versions of iTunes 7.

  • This one is very strange. One track from album won't import...

    I have been trying to import a CD I own for a long time. I'd hoped that getting my new Mac might have solved this problem but...
    The CD in question is fine,. it works and imports OK, in totality, in my partners account. It plays fine in my account. However when I try to import the album into my iTunes library every song except for one will import. The one song which won't import is my favourite from the album, sods law. I have tried every which way to import both the whole album and the single track on it's own to no avail.
    I can delete the whole album and re-import it. During the import process iTunes tells me the track is being imported and goes through all the motions but when all is said and done the track does not appear anywhere in my iTunes library. Believe me I have searched for it both in iTunes and the Finder and it is not there! If you look in the folder in the Finder for the album every track is there correctly numbered etc. Except track 12 is skipped and ain't there, it goes from 11 to 13.
    This is driving me up the proverbial wall. Please if anyone can offer any advice I will be very grateful...
    With Thanks in advance...

    maybe a long shot but it won't hurt trying:
    check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
    now try to import the track again.
    if still no joy, this might be a workaround:
    create a new admin user account on your machine, log into that, fire up iTunes there, and try importing the CD. if it works, move track 12 in the finder to <MacintoshHD>/users/shared.
    log out and back into your usual account. in iTunes there, choose +add to library+ and navigate to the shared folder.

  • ITunes 10 bug? First track of albums won't sync to iPod

    Really weird behavior I've noticed with iTunes 10 - when I add a new album to my iTunes library, and then sync my iPod, the first track of the album isn't copied over. Sync the iPod a second time, and the missing track is copied over.
    I've noticed this on two separate occasions, with two different albums. One was from the iTunes Store and the other wasn't.
    Any ideas? I have an old iPod Photo, but never noticed this behavior before. Started sometime after iTunes 10 came out.

    Quit iTunes. Delete a file named com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig, located in the User Name>System>Library>LaunchDaemons. Go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Locate the file com.apple.iTunes.plist. Move that file to the desktop. Reopen iTunes and it will be like the first time you click on it but your file is not going to be gone. It seems like a support file issue.

  • Last track on recently purchased album asks for authorisation, I give it, message states I've already authorised the computer.

    I've jut downloaded an album via itunes, the final track on it won't play. When I click on it I'm asked to authorise it. I give the correct password and ID but then am told the computer is already authorised. From what I can see the download works fine. I use my apple account only on this computer (though I have in the past used a previous computer, that hasn't been used to acccess any itunes account for some time).
    Any ideas?

    This can be a symptom of an incomplete download. Delete the current version of that track from your library then redownload it from your purchase history.

  • Sync increments play count for songs that haven't played since last sync

    Sometime in the last two months, my iPhone 3G and iTunes started showing a bizarre behavior. I have a smart playlist that only plays songs that have not been played in the last 4 weeks and that have not been played more than a certain number of times (I add 1 to that number after each time it goes through my entire library). I sync the phone every night (because I don't want to lose the recently played data if the iPhone resets for some reason - another irritating bug). Anyway, sometimes when I sync the phone, it increments the play count for songs that were played before the previous sync as well as the songs played since the last sync. This means that those songs are being double counted, even though they were only played once.
    Here's another way to describe the story:
    Day 1: Play 50 songs with play count value X (call this set A). Sync at end of day, now all 50 songs in set A have play count value X+1.
    Day 2: Play 50 more songs with play count X (call this set B). Sync at end of day, now songs in set B have play count X+1, but songs in set A now have play count X+2 (even though they were not played again).
    Day 3: 50 more songs (set C). After sync, songs in set C have play count X+1, those in B have play count X+2, and those in set A have play count X+3.
    It never seems to go more than 3 days back. This is not reliable - in fact, I thought it was fixed after the last iTunes update, but it just happened again.
    One other thing that I notice: whenever this happens, the count shown for the playlist on the iPhone is incorrect. For example, today before the sync, it said I was on song 156 of 271 in my playlist. However, I only played about 50 songs today, and I synced last night, so it restarted the playlist from 1. I don't know when it jumped so much - when I restarted the playlist this morning, it was on 6 of 271 (which was correct).
    The only other thing I think may play into this is when I have my playlist carry overnight (i.e. I start playing it at night after the sync, then come in in the morning and have it pick up where it left off). I am usually pretty good about syncing at the end of every day, but I think that I'm only seeing this behavior when I have this overnight thing going on.
    Anyway, has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone have any suggestions? I would not use the play count in my smart playlist, but it's the only way to ensure that random play actually gets through my entire playlist when I'm forced to sync every night (because of the other bug).

    wow, this is messed up! i'm sorry, but i don't have a solution for you, more of a 'work around'. what i have started doing is using the 'genre' field to keep track of the songs i have listened to, and those that i have not.
    i set the genre for all of my songs to be '0'. after syncing, in my iPhone, i go into the 'genre' listing, go into '0', hit 'view all songs' and start playing the first song i have. next, when i sync, i change the 'genre' in all of the songs i've listened to to '1', and after i resync, i can go into my iPhone (using the same method above) and start playing the songs i haven't listened to.
    i know it's a pain, but it's the only workaround i have for this problem. i'm very disappointed in apple and the iPhone because of their lack of awesome playlist support. i had a creative mp3 player that was supremely awesome with playlists. i would add all of my songs to a 'playlist', and be able to listen to a few songs, then go watch a video, and when i went back into the music player, it would remember the last song i was listening to. it wouldn't remember where i was in the song, but the fact that it remembered the song i was listening to made it one of the best devices i've had. i wish that apple would spend some time and make this functionality possible.

  • How do I keep a record of the last track played in an album?

    I have a lot of albums which have many completely individual pieces of music. For example Chopin ballades. I may only listen to a single track and not return to that album for several months. Is there a way to record the last track played in an album that show up next time the album is open? I'm thinking of something like the little blue arrow that shows which track is now playing.

    For the Last Played column to make any sense, you need to click on the Last Played title itself, so that an arrow appears in the title, pointing down. If it points up, simply click on it a second time and it will point down. This puts everything in "last played" order, with the most recent played at the top of the list.
    You cannot see the Last Played information on your iPhone, but a Smart Playlist may help. In this respect, an iPhone is just like an iPod Touch, and almost the same as an iPod Classic.
    To create your style of Smart Playlist in iTunes (which is then Synced to your iPhone), make a note of the following:
         A.  Album name (copy it, ready to paste into step 4, below.)
         B.  The number of "plays" times you're going to set. For example, if most tracks have been played twice, and some only once, and you want to begin by playing only the tracks that have been played once, then choose "2". (It will make sense, in steps 7 & 8.)
    Now perform the following steps:
    Click on File/New Smart Playlist (on the top menu bar)
    In the dialogue box that appears, change "Artist" to Album (from the drop-down menu)
    Change "contains" to is (from the drop-down menu)
    In the empty box, type (or paste) in the name of the album (it must be exactly the same, no errors. That's why I suggested copy-and-paste.)
    Click on the + symbol at the end of the current line (this creates a new line)
    Change "Artist" to Plays (from the drop-down menu)
    Change "is" to is less than (from the drop-down menu)
    In the third field, which probably has a 0 in it, replace the zero with 2 (the number you decided in the preparation step B, above)
    Leave all the other boxes and fields as they are. (You may notice that the very first one at the top, has changed. This is normal, it now reads "match all the following rules".)
    Click on OK.
    The Smart Playlist should be automatically given the name of the "album name" field from line 1. You can change it if you wish, to whatever you prefer. It will contain only the tracks from your chosen album that have been played less than twice.
    If the Playlist is not in track order, simply add the Track No. column to this Playlist and click on the title bar (as before) to make "track no." the decider. Then Sync your iPhone to iTunes.
    Here's a list I prepapred. Notice only the eight songs that have been played less than four times, are shown. The other eight songs have all been played at least four times:
    Notice too, that my track order is correct, and that the priority column is the "number" column on the left.
    Finally; when the list empties out because all tracks have been played three times, simply edit the Smart Playlist to is less than "3".

    Album uploaded to Itunes match, plays on computer but won't play on ipod, no cloud symbol next to songs. Press play on 1 track and it skips through the album without playing. I've tried deleting the album from PC and downloading again from match and even after syncing the album won't play on the ipod
    iPod touch, iOS 6.1

    I've just connected the ipod to my computer and checked the music on the iPod. The album that I am having trouble with shows an exclamation symbol next to it. I've tried deleting the album from iTunes and re downloading it then syncing but it doesn't appear to affect the information shown the iPod. The album neither deletes nor updates.

  • Artist info, track number, album title won't show up in iTunes

    When I view the songs in explorer, I am able to see the info, but not in iTunes. When I am in iTunes and click on "get info" the ID3 tags are showing as v2.3 and only the track title is showing. When I "add folder to library" and the little progress window appears, it never shows "converting ID3..."
    The same files opened in WMP all have complete info including track title, track number, album title.
    The same folder is doing this on 2 different computers. We are talking about a huge amount of songs to have to update manually (total of 2.6G from this artist).
    How can I get iTunes to show this info?
    Troubleshooting info...I deleted a different album from iTunes, then re-added it to my library with no problems, so I am reluctant to blame the program. I'm thinking it is the files/folder. I kind of eliminated that with the attempt on the other computer.

  • Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

    There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
    These problems are often down to corruption of the library and  the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over.  Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
    - Refresh the Music Player library
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

    Hi,
    What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
    Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
    This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

  • 1st gen ipod Shuffle not updating play count for songs

    I've noticed since I updated to the iTunes version 7.2.035 that plugging in and updating the library with my iPod shuffle no longer updates the play count for the songs I've listened to. Is there a known fix for this? Anyone else experiencing the same problem with their 1st gen ipod shuffle (512)?

    Well, I have that problem too. My shuffle holds about 125 songs or so, yet I've noticed there are always a good 20 or so songs that won't play, no matter how many times I load them onto the device. I have had that problem since I inherited it from a friend.
    My new problem is that every time I plug my iPod into iTunes, it no longer updates the playcount for songs. In other words, if I load a song that I've heard 3 times, hear it twice during the day, and replug in my iPod at night, it used to update that song's playcount in the library to 5, but now they still read 3. It's also failing to update the "date last played" field.
    I use those to help make sure that I don't load the same songs over and over again by creating a custom playlist that will comb out songs played in the last few days and have a very high play count. Since these are no longer updating, I've noticed that I keep arriving at work only to find my iPod has the same or similar songs as the day before, and dude, if I wanted that, I'd listen to the radio!

  • One album won't play on my iPhone 4S

    One album won't play on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3. If select a song and click Play it flashes through the whole album with the play/pause button switching back and forth between play and pause - as though it played the whole album but all the songs were zero length.
    I deleted all the songs in the album then re-synced from iTunes - same problem.
    The tracks are Apple Lossless (ALAC) as are most of my tracks.
    They were ripped from CD as FLAC and converted to ALAC using XLD - the same as with many of my CDs all of which play fine.
    All the tracks on the album play OK in iTunes and if I connect my phone to PhoneView I can play the files on the phone so the music files themselves are OK.
    Also, most importantly, these tracks used to play fine
    Looking at the music file dates in the iTunes library they were imported in August this year so would have been under iOS6. I can't remember when they stopped playing (I tend to use Shuffle most of the time) but could it be related to the iOS7 u/g, even though it doesn't seem to affect any other album?
    I've found quite a few threads about non-playing music but none of them are exactly this problem.

    I have this issue as well and I am already on iOS 7.0.4. 
    Appears to be only on the apple lossless tracks added mid november via Itunes sync.
    Please help.
    I too u/g to 7.0.4 but the problem persisted. I even did a factory reset and restore of my iPhone without success.
    I then grabbed a copy of Max and re-converted the FLACs, deleted the album from iTunes and my phone, re-imported the new ALACs et voilà problem solved.
    So it seems that it was something to do with the version of XLD I used and playing the resulting ALACs on iOS7 (although the album definitely played a couple of times under iOS6).
    The only reason I rip to FLAC then convert to ALAC is that the rMBP doesn't have an optical drive and the only one I have is in a Linux box but I don't think there are any Linux rippers that rip to ALAC.
    If Max had failed, the last resort would have been to try and borrow a USB optical drive and rip with iTunes.

  • Combine Play Count for multiple libraries?

    Apologies if this has been discussed recently. I tried searching and didn't find anything.
    I have iTunes installed on my home desktop (Windows Vista), my laptop (Windows XP) and my work computer (Mac). Each computer has a different library, but there are many common songs. I'd like to combine the play counts so my home desktop shows the total number of times I've played each song. Is that possible without making the libraries on each computer identical (which would be impossible because my laptop hard drive isn't big enough)?
    Thanks for any help.

    No, I am afraid Home Sharing won't owrk for this. It only works on a LAN and it only sync tracks not counts.
    I am afraid iTunes does not do this. Apart from getting into some fairly complex programming in a scripting language using the iTunes COMS interface, I don't see how this could be done.
