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!

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.

I have backed up my lap top including itunes to an external hard drive, everything is on the external device, but I can't play my purchased movies from it?

Why can't the media be played? Any errors?
Was it actually backed up to the External drive or moved to the external drive? Sounds more like the latter which could potentially cause issues depend on how it was moved.

I was setting up my IPod Nano 7 for the first time and I can't play the songs I bought. What did I do wrong?

I was setting up my IPod Nano7 for the first time and purchased 3 songs. When I went to play it on my IPod the screen said "No Music". What did I do wrong?

We are going through same thing and looks like alot of other people also. Seems to me Apple would have invalid email instead of us loosing the gift card all together. Very irratating. Good Luck.

I have an IPOD classic with 80MB of music. reying to reinstall library from a new PC. it goes through the synch process but I get an error message for most of the content. Library plays on the pc under Itunes fine?

Disable the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes and see if that helps.

All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

When I trade my cracked iPod in for a new one, will the information from my iPod be transferred to the new one?

When I Trade My Cracked iPod for a New One, Will the Information From the Cracked iPod Be Transferred to the New One?

That is done through iTunes. If everything on your cracked iPod is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod the same way.
If there is content on the cracked iPod that is not in your iTunes library, that content will be lost, unless you transfer its content to your computer before the "trade in." Content that you purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.

I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

It will just skip to the next a d the next and the next after a second or two without any sound. Please help! Thank you.

HT4527 I transferred my library to a new laptop and everything appeared on the screen. I turned off the old computer and the library disappeared. How can I make it a permanent transfer as my old computer is being scrapped. Thanks

Hello Terryfrank,
Congratulations on your new laptop! Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer.
I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article.
With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up. The last step is to import the content to your new computer. Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

The message ~There was a problem connecting to the server "your-447023ae6b".appears when I try to play music transferred from my PC to my iMac. Files were transferred from my PC by a Genius. How do I sort it? Next appointment with genius is 5 days away!

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.

I bought a new 5c and transferred from an old update from my iPhone 4. The only issue I have is the name of my new phone. How can I change it from Amyiphone4 to something else?

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

No problem.

My iPod won't let me play music. It syncs just fine but the music won't play! I just took it in to fix it's restore problem, and now this is happening. HELP!!

I got my iPod on Monday, November 5th, so I've had it less then a week and I'm having so many issues with it. It would synce my music then when I tried again it synced the music, but it won't play so I tried to restore it and that made it worse. I had to take it to the apple store to fix it and now that it's restored I tried to sync it again and the same thing happened. It will sync the music but I can't play it. It's really frustrating, exspecially, because I just turned 17 and paid for this with my own, hard-earned money for a to-myself present!!

Based on what you tried, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and press for a replacement iPod. Elevate to the store manager if necessary.
