Manipulate the number of times played info in itunes

I have copied my music and videos onto a new harddrive and all videos now have been marked as not played even though they were played before...does anybody know a shortcut to get the info back to at least played once?

If there was ever a place that could help you out, check out [Doug's Scripts|http://dougscripts.com/itunes>, do a search there on playcount. Theres bound to be a script that will do what you want.
Amazingly the site seems to be down at the moment, but when it comes back up...

  • Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

    I mainly just use my iTunes for organizing and adding new songs. Most of the time I listen to my music on my iPhone. I wish it would keep track of how many times I play a song in my music and transfer it to the computer under the 'number of times played' column. It would help out so much! Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

    Hi @imobl,
    You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
    To respond to some of the points you made,
    - I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
    - you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
    - all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
    And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
    Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

  • Playing a song through Music Match from iCloud on my iPhone does not update number of times played

    I noticed that when I play a song on my iPhone using Music Match / iCloud, the number of times played counter on in iTunes my Mac is not increased, nor is date last played etc. As this is still one user, using one music collection I had expected this to happen.
    Now my "good but forgotten" clever playlist (>=4 stars, date last played over a year ago) is not kept current anymore.
    Is this a bug or a "feature". Like most things iCloud it seems to work "sort of, but not quite there yet..."

    I am experiencing the same problem. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL Apple software. Restored phone. Didn't work. Got a new phone and set up as a new phone. Same problem. Cannot play music. I select the song and the screen switches back to the previous screen and never plays. Artwork is all jacked up. Please help.

  • On the new iTunes, where do I see the number of times I played a song?

    Hi everyone,
    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes (11.0.0.163), and it looks really nice, but I can't see the number of times I played a song, or the last time I played a song. Is there a way to show them again?
    Thank you for helping me :-)
    Danilary

    Two ways,
    1- Right Click a Song  and Click Get Info and there on the Summary Tab is Plays which shows how many times you played a Song
    2- While in the Songs Listview - Right Click on the Columns (where it says Time, Name, Artist etc etc ) and select from that long list, Plays. this will add a new column which will show how many times you played a Song

  • Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

    Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • Generate numbers in incremental order, the number of times condition met?

    I have tried explaining my problem here also.
    http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=31&t=007531&p=1
    But trying to put in other words now.
    I have a NO tag which appears many times in xml. and alwyas have some random numbers displaying.
    output looks something similar to this
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something......<NO>2</NO>
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something......<NO>3</NO>
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something......<NO>5</NO>
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something......<NO>1</NO>
    something...... & so on.
    Now instead of these numbers coming in this order i prefer to display in final output file as
    1 2 3 4 5 .................... n
    Is it possible in any ways using xslt.
    DO we need to ignore the values given in input file and then generate output values for same.
    it can be like the number of times NO tag appears in xml, it should start from 1 and keep increasing value by 1, until NO tag finishes appearance.
    But next time when other xml transforms it again should be able to start from 1 till n.
    is there a possibility of using java code for this situation or xslt is capaable enough to handle this.
    Thanks

    I'm guessing you are looking for something like this. I used a pull approach but it could be done with a push (xsl:for-each).
    Sample XML
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <root>
         <NO>1</NO>
         <NO>1</NO>

         <NO>1</NO>
         <NO>5</NO>
         <NO>1</NO>
         <NO>1</NO>
    </root>
    Sample XSLT

  • How to calculate the number of times an user has accesed a BEx report

    Hi Experts,
    We have number of reports in our BW portal and users logon to the portal and run the reports.
    How do we count the number of times each user has logged in and ran each report.
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks,

    Hi Sai:
    I think you can use BI statistics information, which could provide you more detail information.

  • Is there a way to count the number of times an array moves from positive to negative?

    I have an array of values, and I need to find the number of times that the array changes signs (from positive to negative, or vice versa). In other words from a graphical standpoint, how many times a certain line crosses the x-axis. Counting the number of times the array equals zero does not help however, because the array does not always equal exactly zero when it crosses the axis (ie, the points could move from .1 to -.1).
    Thanks for you help. Feel free to email me at [email protected] I only have lv 5.1.1 so if you attach any files, they cannot be version 6.0.

    Attached is a VI showing the # of Pos and Neg numbers in an array, with 0 considered as non-Pos. It is easily modifiable to other parameters - including using the X-axis value as your compare point versus only Zero.
    This is a modified VI from LV (Separate Array.vi)
    Compare this with your other responses to find the best fit.

  • How do i count the number of times a cell has been referenced by other cells' formulae?

    Hello,
    I have a spreadsheet of recipes and ingredients that use checkboxes to let me know which recipes I can make based on the ingredients I have on-hand, using a formula like this one: =IF(AND('Spirits' :: A42,Mixers :: A18,Mixers :: A41,'Spirits' :: A25 ),Table 3 :: $A$2,Table 3 :: $A$3). If I've checked all of the boxes for ingredients that are required for any one of my recipes, the cell that the formula is in returns something like "YES"; otherwise, it returns a blank. It works well enough, but I'd like to include a cell next to each ingredient with a formula that will look through the hundreds of recipes, which all use a formula like the one above, and return a count of the number of times the ingredient's cell is referenced in those formulas. That way, I'll know which ingredients are the most commonly used in my eclectic collection of recipes. I thought something like =COUNTIF('Recipes' :: A2:A343, "=A2") would work, but it doesn't look at the cell references in the formulas, so no, it doesn't work. Any ideas? I'm using Numbers 2.3

    Hello
    There's no formula to inspect other formula in Numbers. So what you asked cannot be achived in such a way you described.

  • How do I count the number of times a word appears in a column?

    What I have is a spreadsheet logging work history. Let's say the work location is "office", "home", or "travel" and I want to have a separate cell in another table for totals, count up the number of time each appears in the data for the year. So it would look like this:

    In Table 2 the formula in B2
    =ROWS(Table 1::A)−1
    Minus 1 because there is a Header Row in Table 1.
    In Table 2 the formula in B3 (and Fill Down)
    =COUNTIF(Table 1::B,A3)
    You can check this by adding 5 + 3 + 2 to arrive at 10
    Or maybe delete Row 2 put the Days calculation into a Footer Row in Table 2
    =SUM(B) .

  • How Do I Assess The Number Of Times A Page Has Been Hit?

    portal30.wwlog_activity_logs
    Portal logs activity in two tables wwlog_activity_log1 and wwlog_activity_log2. It toggles between these two tables every week by default. The wwlog_activity_logs is a view connecting both of these tables.
    Be prepared to do some homework to figure out how to identify the actual page(s) you want to log. It's not clear cut and also be aware that you can't get down to the actual tab pressed within a page without some custom coding... and also, portal purges logged data every two weeks by default.
