"Play" and "Last Played" fields don't update.

What's up with that? Sometimes those two fields update but most of the time they don't. Annoying...anyone had similar problems?

Two things:
The song has to be played until the track finishes. If you move to the next song, with one second remaining on the current one, the Play Count will not be updated.
For plays on an iPod to be added to the Play Count in your iTunes Library, the iPod has to Sync with iTunes. Manaually Managing will not update the Play Count.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

Date of Last.Del field is not updated in EKEK table

Hello All,
We have one date update problem for one Scheduling agreement, the field is LFDKD (Date of Last.Delivery) in the table EKEK -Header Data for Scheduling Agreement Release and this date hasnt been updated only for one SA since 2008 , it remains as it is like 18.02.2008, but the date of last field (LWEDT) is updated correctly till date. So due to this problem , the SA release is sent to the vendor through EDI and the date of last delivery is sent wrongly in 2008 date even though after that many goods receipt has been done for this SA. Any idea why it didnt get update till date ?
Thanks in Advance
Benny

Hello Benny,
Please check if the following notes can help :
1337084 Release header contains doc. date instead of delivery date

Gordon,
That worked for the dates. Thanks.
For some reason the price still doesn't update.

Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

Sort Artist and Sort Album tags don't update

Having spent a lot of time over the years getting the metadata in my iTunes library just right, I've noticed a frustrating problem when it comes to iTunes Match.
I make use of 'Sort Artist' and 'Sort Album Artist' tags so that my library is sorted by artist surname (eg. Lennon, John).
This always worked correctly when I syncronised my music via iTunes, but since switching over to iTunes Match this has become problematic.
When I initially signed up for iTunes Match, my Library moved over correctly - honouring the sort order tags that I had added. However, When I add NEW music to the library and subsequently change the sort tag, the change does not propegate to iTunes Match (Though it does appear correct in iTunes on my Mac). So the result is now a mixed sort order on my iOS devices - some by first name and some by second.
Under iOS 5.0 and iTunes 10 I used to be able to get around this with a little forethought - I would turn iTunes Match OFF on the Mac before adding any new songs, then I would edit the tags and then switch Match back on. This would rescan the library and add the new tracks to the cloud complete with correct metadata.
This workaround no longer works under iOS 6 and iTunes 11.
I have tried switching iTunes match off on my iPhone and restarting it. This does not work either.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to 'force' the metadata to be updated?
Any help would be appreciated.

I also am finding it impossible to convince my iPhone that the Album Sort field exists. This is especially odd considering when I view my Home Shared music from my iPhone, it works exactly correctly. I have verified that the tags are being uploaded to iTunes Match by viewing the songs from another computer that has iTunes Match. So, for some reason, iOS 6 will not sort by the Album Sort field when using iTunes Match music.
Does anyone have any sort of fix or workaround for this problem? I've submitted Feedback to Apple.

Calculated fields don't update after changes are made

Hi, I am having trouble with calculated fields updating. Here is what I have:
Field a + field b = calculated field c
Field d + field e = calculated field f
Then I have another calculated field (call it field g) to add up field c and f. At first it works fine, but if you change what was input in a b d or e, it doesn't update the calculation in field g.
Thanks

The field calculation order is probably not correct. How you set it depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
Acrobat 9: Forms > Add or Edit Fields, then: Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order
Acrobat 10: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7de2.w.h tml
Set it to what makes sense for your form.

List item with user and/or department field linked + dynamic update of department field

Hi all,
I've the mission to create a Sharepoint 2010 list to manage our IT assets.
An asset is linked to a user or to a department. The user field is not mandatory, the department field yes.
When creating or updating an item, we should be able to choose a user (person column) and the department should be automatically populated. Or we should also be able to let the user field blank and only choose a department.
1. How can I manage this ? The user profile service is already configured, linked to the Active Directory. So user and department information is already in the User Profile.
2. Second constraint : when a user is moving to an other department, the department field should be automatically updated for all items linked to this user. Any idea ?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Steve Roh

I think you must write some code for this functionality.
It could be a custom web part or a custom field.

Plays and Last Played Not Updated from Device

When I play a song from the cloud from one of my iOS devices, the Plays and Last Played fields are not updated.
This does work, however, when a song is played from a computer.
This is a deal breaker for me.
Bruce

Yup, I agree. It's looking like the only really useful thing is that iTunes Match managed to get a whole mess of my songs updated to 256Kbps versions. Not all, but a whole bunch.
Still, I rely on smart playlists with Last Played being accurate to figure out what to listen to. And, it keeps my playlist from being stale or repetitive.
I can't wait for this to be changed.

Last published field in odata reports

hi folks,
We are using Project OnLine and we want to implement a safe Timesheet reporting in order to invoice customers correctly. I tried to create an oData report which display the Last published date and the last Modified date for each project, and
create a flag when the second is later than the first. In that case the user may need to republish his project.
I could not find any field in the odata fields, to display the last published
date of the project, enven in the Project odatatable or any. Is there somewhere ? It seems akward that MS may not have considered the importance of the date of the last publishing of each project.
I also tried to create a PWA report, where it is easier than odata, but ther I was not able to create a
formula to show a date diff between project Last publish
and last Modified. Is the list of suggested field exhaustive ? Those dates are not in the suggested field, in the formula fields.
Can you help ?
Didier Maignan | http://didiermaignan.unblog.fr

Hello,
Unfortunately only the last modified date is in the Odata API.
I would only show the Published date in the Project Center views, see this post for details:
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/projectserver-ps2013-ps2010-last-modified-and-last-published-fields-in-pwa-sp2013-ppm-projectonline/
The details in this post will also apply to the ODATA Project Last Modified date...

What has to be done in order for your play data--Last Played, and Play Count--to be updated from "cloud" play of your music? Thanks

When playing music in the cloud, music on my MacBook's library play data is not updated. Does anyone know how to make that work, or if it is even possible? If it's not possible, why even ha

If you manage the music on your iPod Touch manually the playcount and last played data does not get updated in iTunes. It works that way for all iPod models.
To solve this problem you can do the following:
- Create a playlist in which you add all the songs you want to add to your iPod Touch
- Set your iPod to sync music automatically. On the music tab configure the iPod Touch to only sync the previously created playlist.
- Sync your iPod Touch.
Now you can manage the content of your iPod Touch by managing the contents of the playlist and then sync. And most importantly it will update your playcount and last played data.
Hope this helps,
Marc

Device plays not updating Last Played field

I see that this was an issue two years ago -- cannot believe that it has not been fixed.
Issue: Match updates play count/Last Played field from iTunes computer installs, but not via device plays. Three iPhones, an iPad, and an Apple TV all show this behavior.
There is simply no point in having Smart Playlists with a Last Played condition (or any time/play count condition) if Match does not receive and update ALL play data. Home Sharing has a device play count option, but that puts me back in the box of sharing one library locally and hoping to sync stuff up manually in all ways I could possibly anticipate. Putting stuff in iCloud -- which initially took forever -- was supposed to make things easier, not harder. Now I see that we have Genius Playlists as an option. How can they possibly not become repetitive unless a play count/Last Played value is stored for them? Or will such data only be device specific, an ever weirder breakdown of the supposed global Match promise?

My iPhone 5 on iOS 7 seems to be syncing my play history via iTunes Match with no problems. I have not synced my phone with iTunes on my computer, so it isn't from device syncing. I was definitely at work at 1/8 at 11 am...

ITunes Play Count and Last Played not updating?

Hi All,
I have an IPOD shuffle 1GB 2nd gen, I'm using the latest ITunes 7.7.1.11, I have Windows XP SP3 intalled. On Aug 14th for some reason that was the last time ITunes Play Count and Last Played columns updated in ITunes. I listen to and recharge my shuffle everyday. When I hook my IPOD to the base it is recognized and ITunes opens and says it's syncing, then after about 30 seconds it says sync is complete, ok to disconnect, the flashing orange light goes green & everything seems correct except those 2 columns don't get updated, does anyone know how to make ITunes start updating that information again?
Thanks for any advice,
Steve

Hi Paul,
Just downloaded and installed iTunes 8.0. I played a few songs on my shuffle and synced it again, the problem remains the same, the last played & play count do not change. I wonder what happened on Aug 14th because thats the last time it worked.
Thank you again,
Steve

Play count and last played features do not update

I am having the EXACT same problem with my Ipod! I still have yet to figure out how to fix it, but my brother (who knows everything about ipods), has yet to figure out what is making this happen.
