Play count won´t increment

Hi!
I did expect both play count and date to be updated in iTunes when I connect my blue iPod nano 4GB to iTunes, but nothing happens.
Can I make the play count increment just as when I use my iPod shuffle 512 MB 1st gen?
Anyone familiar with this?
Please assist!

Here's what I do -- create a playlist on your computer, and set the ipod to auto sync that playlist. Ratings, play dates, and other stuff will sync back.
To take it to the next level, use smart playlists with filesize caps, such as:
"Fresh Hits": Rating greater than 4*, last played is not in the last 2 weeks, limit to 1 GB (instead of rating you can use "play count is greater than 4 or 5, or something)
"New stuff": Date added is in the last 2 months, limit to 500 MB
... et cetera. I have 2.5 GB of smart playlists, and the rest is in the manually created playlist for stuff I just want to have with me. It keeps your content fresh without too much work.

Message counter won't work.

Hello.
After updating my iOS to 7.1 I found that message counter ain't work anymore - when I get new message I don't see counter on message icon. That was on my iPhone 5, yesterday I bought new 5s, setup a 7.1 on it and restored phone from backup of 5 and I faced with same problem. What should I do to fix it?

Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). If that doesn't work, perform a Restore via iTunes (from backup).

Playing Quicktime won't work in Safari, displays code.

Using my iPhone 3GS, I've attempted to load Quicktime Movies from websites and it just displays code. Whereas, on my old iPod Touch it would display just fine. The podcasts from the ESPN Podcenter WebApp is a perfect example of this. Can anybody help?

i found out how to make it work,
Settings > Safari > and make sure Plug-Ins is set to on and then try your website.
it worked for me.

Shuffle stopped updating play count not once but twice!

My Shuffle used to update playcount. It did so even though it was at version 1.0 of the software. It worked for months - from December or January when I bought it. It stopped a few weeks ago.
Resetting it multiple times erasing and reloding songs, etc. made no difference.
I took it to the Applestore last week and they updated it to version 1.1 and it was updating the play count. It's stopped again.
iTunes is 4.7, same as it's always been since I bought the shuffle.
This is, to say the least, extremely annoying. Now I'm wondering if there's something defective in the Shuffle that's making it stop working. Any ideas?

I took it back to Apple store and got a funny answer.
The Apple guy said "You're expecting too much from the Shuffle".
Why shouldn't I expect the Shuffle to update the playcounts when it used to update the playcounts?
Then he said he'd searched the tech's version of the Knowledge Base and asked the other geniuses and that they concluded the "play count" doesn't work anymore on Shuffles.
I've searched the KB too and there's no info about the Shuffle updating the playcount.

Keeping track of play count

I like to keep a steady rotation with the music I play on my iPod (5th gen.). I do this by deleting songs that have played once or twice. The iPod used to keep track of this and would reflect the number of plays in iTunes. Recently this has stopped alltogether. How do I get the play count to start working again?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

Smart playlist based on play counts within specific time period?

I have tooled all around with the smart playlist options, and this is not a possibility, based on the options iTunes gives you. So I'd like to know if there is a posibility that a script can be written for something like this.
What I want is to be able to create a smart playlist that generates a list of songs that I played a lot during a certain time. For example, if I want to listen to a collection of songs that I had been listening to a lot back in October, I would want an option to do something like this.....
Plays (from [10/01/13] to [10/31/13]) is: (greater than) [12]
Meaning I played it more than 12 times in October alone. Could've played it before that, could've played it after that, but I only want the 13+ October plays to be considered.
Using the options "plays" and "last played" isn't going to work, because that's just gonna eliminate any song that I played again after that time period.
So can a script be written for something like what I'm looking for?
I don't know if it's a posibility because that would mean that iTunes would have to log every single play on a song, and I don't think it does that. I think it erases its memory of the previous play date each time the song is played again.

The last iPod update I had is at least 3 month ago (iPod click wheel, system version 3.1). I am pretty sure that the live update at least those based on play count still did work after that. After updating to iTunes 5 it definitely was gone. I don't know if it is iTunes 5, but this is when I realized it and I did not install anything else for my iPod the last couple of months.
I am pretty sure that it worked before, because I used to listen to audio books that consist of 5 minutes track. The live update helped to avoid listening to the same track twice. I would have recognized the missing live update earlier otherwise.

I had to get a new ITouch and now my app Tempo Magic won't work. It allows me to do evertyhing but play the music. When I hit play it kicks me out - any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work. How can I fix this?

Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work. How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

To check for warranty coverage:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

30GB Play/Pause button won't work.

Yes, another iPod Classic's play/pause button is messed up. I got it in March '09 so I believe that's over the 90 day fixing range. I've tried resetting, holding the menu & center button, & all of the suggestions on the Mac site, but it still won't work.
Any ideas what could be wrong & how to fix it?

Besides resetting the iPod, have you attempted restoring it? You can do that by clicking the "Restore" button on the the iPod's Summary page in iTunes.
Assuming that doesn't work, you can check your [warranty status|https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do] to see if you are still covered for hardware repair. I doubt any 30GB iPods are still under warranty, since they were discontinued over two years ago, but you said you got it in March 2009 - did you purchase it used?
Whether it's under warranty or not, you can always make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store and see if they have any other suggestions, free of charge. If it's a hardware problem, they can replace the iPod for you, but there would be a charge to do so if you're out of warranty.

Button named "Play" won't work!

Hello folks,
I am working on fairly simple project and I need only one button on a menu so I created one with text says "Play"
and then I try to simulate and click on it, it just won't work.
Why is that????? I did every possible way I could think of although I am pretty novice with Studio Pro.
Can anyone help me with this issue please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
If you are using APack for your audio files, yuo can tweek the db settings (the default is -27). You can do tests by changing this all over the place. Maybe that might help.

Play Count/Ratings won't update.

For some reason neither the play counts nor the ratings will update if I do them on my Nano. If I play and/or rate a song on iTunes, the information will usually be saved.
This actually happened before early in the month, but the problem (temporarily) fixed itself. Now, information that was previously there (for example, I played some songs on iTunes on the 18th) has now reverted to earlier info. What gives? Is there any way of fixing this without resetting my iPod?
(Note: all other functions that deal with iTunes such as id3 info and album artwork, will update fine. It's just that any info I alter on the iPod itself will not save.)

So I formatted my iPod Nano, and it worked, but for some reason it stopped counting again. I briefly connected my iPod in order to load a song, and disconnected it properly. So does not charging it fully cause it to not save the data?
