Music played on iPhone not tagged as recently played upon sync

I play music on my phone and whenever I sync the iPhone back to iTunes, I find that some of the tracks that I played are not tagged as recently played. The played date doesn't change and the play count does not increase. My initial guess is it happens if I hit pause on a track to do something else and then press play again when I come back. Somehow the iPhone doesn't report to iTunes that the track was recently played whenever it is synced. I've trolled this forum but have not found anyone else report this. Anybody else have this same problem?

Thanks Mike.
I verified that the song completely finishes and moves to the next song but was not tagged as recently played in iTunes during the next sync. The bug may happen when I pause the track played, get out of the iPod interface, come back and hit the Now Playing which takes me back to the song, which is still in the same position I paused at. When the song finishes, it moves to the next one and even that is not tagged as recently played.
My library is about 90% unpurchased so odds are its not DRM but I could be wrong. Your message though reminded me to check the skip count. Maybe it counts it as that. I am able to repeat this and I did want to report as a bug but don't know where/how on this site. If they have a iPhone bug report page I'd like to know the URL.

    All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.
    Select it to sync and sync.

    why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

    As a rule syncing is one way, from the library to the device. There should have been a warning that media content on the device would be removed and replaced with that in the local library. If the content were still on the device it could be recovered with the steps in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can redownload your qualifying past purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon store, etc. Do you have the previous computer your device synced with, or a backup, from which the library could be recovered?

  • How to add only selected music to my iPhone not sync the whole iTunes library

    Hi everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. I have some music on my iPhone, and quite a bit on iTunes on the MacBook. I want to transfer selected tracks from the MacBook, but when I click on 'Rushenette's iPhone' and select 'Music', I have the option to Sync but get a message saying everything on my iPhone will be overwritten with the contents of my iTunes library.
    How do I keep the iPhone contents the same, but add a few tracks from the MacBook?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks ckuan,
    But... I bought the tracks on the phone via iTunes, then later transferred purchases back to the MacBook. All my music is in iTunes already. The MacBook has the complete set, the phone has a subset.
    Now I have some more stuff on the MacBook (in ITunes) that I want to put on the phone, but I don't want to fill my phone with the entire music library, just add a few tracks.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my computer using itunes without syncing?

    Got a bit of a dilemma here... I had all my music backed up on my laptop and I usually transferred files using iTunes from there but it got a virus so I had wipe the whole thing out. I lost everything I had there but I had iTunes on my computer, I just didn't have all the files that were on my iPhone on that computer, only on my laptop. Now I want to add music onto my iPhone from my computer but I'll have to sync it, which means loosing half of my music. Is there anyway I can transfer music onto the device without loosing half of the data or is there any way I can transfer the music from iTunes to my computer so that when I sync it, all the music stays there? And if I need a third party transfer tool, which one is the most reliable to avoid viruses again?

    Hello ZabeM
    Anything that was purchased can be transferred to your new iTunes library by following the steps in the article below. You can also look at your purchased history and download the tracks to your computer.

  • Music player on iphone not playing music?

    I have an iphone 3GS with the ios5 updates. Ever since the update, when I try to listen to my music, no sound plays. Volume is turned up compltely. Sounds for all other things working on the phone. The music player appears to be playing the song, but there is not a sound. Light blue "play" symbol appears in the right hand corner and the pause button is displayed as though the song is playing. I put the songs on using the "purchased" button in the itunes store and then downloading them to my phone. I also can't figure out how to delete the songs now that they are on there. I was going to get rid of them all and then start over manually from the computer. However, when I put the phone into the itunes on the computer, the songs no longer appear as they are on my phone, but they are there, taking up space and not working! Please help! I really dont want to have to reset the phone completely!

    Well it seems like that is your only option.  Before you restore, try restarting the phone and see if that does anything.

  • Music bought on iPhone not syncing back to computer

    I recently had to change my hard drive in my MacBook because the computer was no longer responding that it was there. I reloaded my iPhone onto iTunes but for some reason cannot get my music to go back. I was told to make a backup of the phone and then sync it by the people from Apple. I have even tried to transfer the music from the "Store" option on top. The prompt says that my computer is not authorized, but after authorizing it, it still will not work. Any advice? I want to put more music on the phone but am afraid to lose what it on my phone. Help? Thanks!

    Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I guess in the process of putting my computer back together I signed on wrong or something but now everything is up and running perfectly! Thank you so much!!!

  • Aperture sync of most recent events to ipad/iphone not copying most recent

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture....
    When syncing my iPad / iPhone, i used to always sync the 20 most recent events, i now want to sync the 20 most recent projects.
    It seems that aperture now does not know which are the most recent projects....
    If i view all projects as thumbnails under the projects view, and sort them by date, they ARE ordered correctly... However, when trying to sync only the 20 most recent projects, it seems to randomly select 20 projects.
    Also, if i select 'sync projects from the last 12 months' it syncs ALL projects, suggesting to me that it somehow does not know the 'project created' date.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    David

    This problem is still ongoing.... Having synced my entire library to my iPad, not having projects in date order is a real pain - and makes finding a certain project very tedious.
    Does anyone have any kind of fix for this yet?
    Alexander, in what way did Apple acknowledge this problem?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Music plays upon ending call when music app not currently being used.

    iPhone 5, with iOS 7.0.4. Randomly, when i hang up from a call, the Music app starts playing the song that I was listening to last. However, sometimes it has been a day or more since i was listening to the song. Very Annoying. What is Apples fix for this??

    Same thing happens on an iPhone 6 running IOS 8.0.2, but only when using Bluetooth headset. Very irritating.

  • Iphone not respondsing - no recent backup - must get photos off it - help!

    Hi there:
    I'm helping a friend who has suffered a set of issues that have left her in a real tricky situation...
    She has an IPhone 3Gs. It was being used in combination with a Windows XP PC. However, a couple of months ago, that PC died. She had otehr things on her mind as she was heavily pregnant, so hasn't replaced the PC or connected the phone to any other computer. Now, the baby's here, and the Iphone has a vast array of photos of said child....
    That is, until a few days ago, when by accident she let it completely discharge. After a couple of days on charge, it is still dead.
    She has called me as I run a computer support firm, but I've not seen this before. I did read on a forum somewhere to connect it to a PC, and restart the PC. I didn't think this would help, but it has changed the situation slightly... it's tricky to describe, but the screen now flashes.... blacker than when the thing is completely off, every 5 seconds.
    The problem is that we cannot do a full reset, as we cannot restore the data. but these are the only photo's of the baby's first couple of months on the planet. So is there ANY WAY (even if it means dismanteling and putting components into a working phone), that we can recover this data?
    Thanks in advance!
    Martin

    Normally, in a situation like yours, the suggested fix would be to try & force the phone into recovery mode & then restore from backup or set up as a new phone. Since you do not have a backup to restore from, all saved data on the phone would be lost. Something, I understand you're trying to prevent. My only suggestion would be to replace the battery(your battery "may" have failed) & see if the phone will turn on. This of course would assume that the problem is related to the battery & not the OS itself. If the OS has become corrupted, there is no way to retrieve those photos without a backup to restore from. Well, there is but the hardware & software to do so are extremely expensive & generally only available to law enforcement.

  • Contacts created on iphone not going to lap top when syncing

    Contacts are not going from iphone to laptop, either via the cloud or when I sync. I am using .mac instead of .me in my account settings. Will this be the issue ?
    steve

    You can sync contacts over the air with a MM account, or direct with a supported address book application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time. When you are syncing contact info over the air with a MM account, the account information is not touched during the iTunes sync process.
    Using your former .Mac address or account does not make any difference.
    If a new contact entered on your iPhone, or changes made to a contact on you iPhone is available with your MM online address book when logging into your MM account with a browser, what is your setting for your MM account on your laptop for syncing MM contact info with the supported address book application on your laptop?
    Any problems syncing calendar events with the supported calendar app on your laptop?

    Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
    Do a sync.
    Then check the box.
    And sync again.
    Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

  • I'm trying to sync more music onto my iPhone but it just says "Waiting for sync to start" and it won't go away or start the sync.

    I've tried multiple things but I just cannot get the sync to start!

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.
