Played music counting failed

While connecting iphone to itunes, every counting of the music played shows zero. Both reinstalling itunes and recovering the ios can not solve the problem

Since I have a Torch 9800 I started to look under BlackBerry® Torch Smartphone for “Music Services” and found this thread which did not solve the issue. (KB27155 asks to remove the non media files from the playlists for PC users… no examples !!! of what kind of files to check for, e.g . the following files are OK to have present with the .mp3 files: .txt, .jpg, .ini, .db, .wma. Removing these files did not help at all).
I then searched under BlackBerry® Desktop Software and found this thread: Desktop Mgr 6 - "Music services failed to load".
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Desktop-Mgr-6-quot-Music-services-fai...
I tried the solution from bbnewbie07 which was well explained but saved the Media Sync folder on my desktop (just in case).
I post this solution here because that where I looked first for this issue and there was no other hint in this thread. BTW, when DTM connects to a phone and does not find the Media Sync folder it creates a new one; so I could delete my saved folder after all from the desktop.
When I tried my phone with DTM on my laptop all worked fine so it looked liked the problem was with my PC's WMP library and playlists as suggested in KB27155. Not at all! Removing the Media Sync folder from my media disk did the trick.

Do play counts update when playing music from iCloud through AppleTV?

I'm trying to figure out a way to get my play counts to update when I play music from iCloud through AppleTV. I use this method of enjoying music an awful lot, but my play counts are important to my overall music organization. Anyone know how to make this work?

only if it's a feature of the tv I think my sony one have a movement detector and turn off if there are nobody moving close by
the old appletv1 would play out the optical even with no tv connected to hdmi but the 2g one after some os updates require an active tv connection

ITunes fails to play music!

iTunes won't play music from any of my playlists, my Library, or the Music Store. The songs play on my ipods though. I would absolutely love some help. Again the music won't play on my playlists, library, or music store.

What happens when you double click on a song?

Home page safari shortcut fails to play music when minimized

I made a homepage shortcut to safari (music.google.com) which stops playing music when minimized. If I launch safari directly and navigate to music.google.com music continues to play when minimized. Symptoms are identical IOS5 & IOS5.01. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any guidance

I accessed the GarageBand site and not being sure how one would play an audio loop there, I clicked the little green arrow next to "Rational Eyes" near the top. This put up a little black window that said "MP3 Player (GarageBand.com)" with a line of text that said "Report problems by clicking the 'HELP' button above.", but there was no help button other than the item on the tool bar of the site window. There was no sound.

ITune automatically launching and playing music

I don't know why my iTune keeps launching itself and playing music early in the moring!!!
How can I stop it??? HELP, plz...

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

MacBook Pro has no sound, no way to adjust volume, and will not play music.

My MacBook Pro seems to have lost all of its audio functions. I cannot adjust my volume using the keyboard controls, or through the button at the top of my desktop screen, or even through System Preferences. I get the normal volume adjust screen, but it is faded, and there is a symbol over it indicating that I cannot adjust anything. When I go into the Sounds menu from System Preferences, there is nothing for me to select under Input or under Output. My computer makes no noise, whether I'm using iTunes, watching a video, or anything. I cannot play music. My songs simply won't start, and when I skip to any given part of a song, the music still refuses to play. I am not getting the red light from my headphone port. I tried to remove any dust that may have collected in the headphone port, and I've even tried to reset my NVRAM and PRAM. I also updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9.2. Nothing helped. I remember that my MacBook was working perfectly fine all of yesterday, but at one point later in the evening, I tried to plug in my headphones to play music, but nothing would play. I opened Spotify, and it gave me a message that my speakers were broken (I was using the internal speakers). That's when I first noticed the issue. Is there anything else I can try before going to the Apple Store and having them try to fix it? Thank you very much, I appreciate any help.

The last gasp is an OSX reinstall. If that fails, then the genius bar is the best option.
Ciao.

My iPhone4 can't sync to Itunes after I have updated the iPhone to ISO5.0. now my iPhone can't play music. whenever i go to play my music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist. hopeless! ISO5.0 is as bad as Microsoft stuffs.

I have recently updated the iTunes in order to update both my iPhone and iPad to ISO5.0. unfortunately, after the updated, my iPhone is no longer playing any music. whenever i go to play music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist or it keeps running through song to song. But still, no music is on.
I tried to re-sync the music library, error mesage prop up,
"The iPhone 'xfdsarw' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
I delete the iTunes and download it again. Then, I restore my iPhone to the version before ISO 5.0. After, I do the updated again. However, the problem still exists. What should I do? Please advise. I cant believe that iPhone cannot play iTunes!!!!
How come, apple acts like Microsoft? I saw this problem had existed in the developer stages back to the past summer. Then, you guys didnt fix it before the release of ISO 5.0. Hopeless. As being a life-long apple fan, I am so disappointed! Wordless ....

My music can be played in my iMac and iPad itunes, but not my iPhone4.
i did what you have suggested to unsync the music and then re-sync again. should i try to cancel all the music in the library and then restore them again. can it work? i dont want to bet coz reloading so much music is very trouble.

What hardware do I need to play music from iPad?

Hi all!
I've seen this done, but never asked how it's done! This may be a simple question for almost all of you, but I don't even know how to phrase it to look up via a web search!
I just ordered an iPad (4th generation) and one of the things I would like to do is play the music from it remotely. I work at a retreat center and during sessions/prayers we play music. I would like to do this at the podium rather than running back and forth to a dock (for an iPad, if there's such a thing) at the back of the room to push those buttons; we do this currently with our cd player.
So, what kind of hardware would I need to do so? Also, would it be possible to tie in this hardware to our overhead speaker system? What apps on the iPad would control this? Please keep in mind while I am a huge Apple fan and have an iMac & iPod, I am limited in my knowledge (so far) with a iPad. And my boss, who leads these services, is not the most tech savvy person, so it would need to be simple to operate too!
Thanks for any and all advise!!!!

"Rather than testing the limits of Bluetooth, maybe you should consider buying an Apple AirPort Express router and setting up a separate wifi network just for this link. No idea whether the audio output of the Express will match the "Hi-Z" Aux phono inputs electrically, but it seems worth a try if you have an Apple Store (or dealer) in the area. The price is within the range of BT mobile speakers offered through the Apple Store, and I know it can handle the range easily."
Okayyyy... the AirPort Express router sound like a more practical idea. I'll go with that; but I still have the same issue with connection to the amp. And I am not at all well versed in electronics to understand "Hi-Z" matching thingie . In your best guess, can connection be made with AirPort to our amp system via a bare wire connection??
"You used to be able to buy connector-X-to-bare-wire cables (for various values of X) at places like Radio Shack; you may still be able to do so. Failing that, buy a separate X-to-X or X-to-Y cable and cut off one end of that, rather than cutting a cable supplied with a BT (or WiFi) receiver, so you can return the receiver if it doesn't work for you."
Again, a more pratical idea, mark! I will look for such a cable; we have a Radio Shack down the road. To ask a dumb question with the "x-to-x or x-to-y" you mention above. I know one value is for the connector (x or y: type of jack, as like a headphone one or speaker). The other value has no change and would that possibly be the red and white lines commonly found on standard jacked connectors?
Third question: those red and white lines - are they different in the type of wire that is used in it's construction and that's why they are so marked? If I strip for bare wire connection, do I have to keep them marked for what will go where to the amp?
I just want to make the right decisions before any purchasing, mainly to see if it can be done!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Can Oticon streamer 1.4 play music or map directions?

I have a 4s iPhone and my wife has a new 5s. I have an Oticon hearing aid. Cannot get either phone to play music or map directions with the oticon streamer 1.4. Using iOS 7. And it worked ok a week ago, but not this week???!!!
Procedure I use: Get ready to pair by turning bluetooth off on phone. Make sure phone and streamer are close by. Pair by turning on streamer in the discover mode (rapid blinking blue light). On phone select bluetooth and turn it on. Observe that streamer shows up. Tap on phone the words that say streamer, and give it 20 seconds or so to get connected.
At this point phone calls in or out work ok with either device 4s or 5s phone. This is the HFP mode I believe.
Now, I want to use the map function on the phone to hear directions with my hearing aids when driving, so I want to enable the A2DP connection (according to what I read) by a short push of the "music" button on the streamer. When I do it, my hearing aids give a 'beep-BEEP" like they are now listening to bluetooth, and button blinks yellow. However, no sound comes from the map function, and I can find no icon that would allow to choose streamer as the output sound device. For testing purpose I also try playing music in the manner just described. Same story: no music plays and no way appears to choose output sound to streamer.
Called apple support and poor lady was clueless. Tried reading support discussions and found a lot such as:
iPhone 4 IOS 6.0.1, Oticon Streamer 1.4
Press phone on/off button until the "Slide to to power off" appears.
Press Phone button on Streamer for a few seconds until it stays on (green light)
At this point the Streamer should redial the last number called on the iPhone and the iPhone will display" Streamer 1.4" as the audio source.
Tried this and things happen as described, but it makes no difference to hearing music or map directions. Most comments suggest phone or bluetooth devices may be incompatible, but that does not seem to be my problem.
But what is going on? Driving me nuts. Help please anybody.

I also have had problems with my iPad. I rang Oticn tech support and they tell me although the Streamer can remember eight devices it can only have 4 connected at one time. So you have to switch off other devices. I think the smartphone count as two devices as also the ipad, I have the landline telephone connector which counts as one, I have a smartphone and an iPad, The iPad and the smartphone counts as two each which = four. My landline telephone connector will not work until I switch off either the iPad or smartphone
I have also spent a lot of time trying to sort this problem out and this is what I came up with I hope it's some help but not too confusing

Music app fails

please help,
every time i open my music app it fails it will try and load and then returns to the home screen it does the same things for video. it started after i synced to my laptop and put new music on it. i have been using my mac to sync my touch for about 8 months now and have never had this problem and would like it fixed.
all help is welcome,
thanks
kate! =]

I was having the same problem... I tried to play music by doing the double tap on the square button... it loaded the play button... I clicked on that... it then seemed to freeze but maybe 20 seconds later it loaded up one of my songs off my library... it started to play... I then was able to go to the music app and everything seems to be running well.
So try double tapping the square button.

Playing music from external hard drive, iTunes

Hello all,
After years of wanting to own a MacBook Pro, I finally have one. This is the first Mac computer that I have owned so I am still new to everything. One issue that I am having is an issue that I have had over the years on Windows, that always took me hours to get straight. I am going to explain how my iTunes has been setup on all of my previous computers so that hopefully you guys can make sense of what I am trying to accomplish as I could not find a solution on here.
The way iTunes is set up on my Windows PC's was that all of my music was on my external hard drive. Whenever I would want to use my music through iTunes, I would have to plug in my external hard drive and once it boots I can now play music. Without the hard drive plugged in I can only see all the information about my music on iTunes but I cannot play it since the hard drive is disconnected. I am trying to do this same setup with my macbook but I am having difficulty accomplishing that. I honestly do not remember how I did it on my Windows PC other than it took forever. I kept getting duplicates but after trying multiple times, I got it to where there were no duplicates and everything was fine.
What steps do I go about in order to be able to see all my music information on iTunes but having the actual music file on my external? I like it this way as it saves my internal hard drive storage and I don't mind having to plug in my external when needed. I have only attempted once so far to do this procedure on my new MacBook, I failed. It transferred all of the music and worked just how I wanted it to work. However, it created a duplicate of every song, which there is thousands of, so I deleted everything and now iTunes doesn't have anything. Any help is appreciated, sorry for the long post.

So after messing around for awhile I finally figured it out and got everything working how I want it and had it on my Windows machine. It took me forever to find the iTunes library file as it was not in its default location on my Windows machine. I finally figured out what needs to be done and it is really easy like you explained. I discovered that my issue is: 1. The default location of these common iTunes files is not in its default location likely due to me moving it the last time I did this from my prior Windows machine and 2. My external hard drive needs to be cleaned up, at least my music section.
What I am going to do in the future is purchase a new external hard drive specifically for my Mac backups and music. I will have to take a day and transfer my huge library to the new drive so that I ensure everything is organized and kept clean and not make this process more difficult than it should in the future. I am however missing some of my tracks (noted with the !) I do believe that this is due to me accidentally changing the file paths on my external at some point in the past and left certain files on my Windows internal drive. This issue is solved though, hopefully. I appreciate your help.
BTW: I am loving my 15" rMBP, I wish the price didn't hold me back as long as it did.

Playing Music With My Ipod through itunes

I was wondering if i could plug my ipod into a different computer then the one i update my ipod with and play music through Itunes on there ?

Thank you.
So on the main pc, it has to be set to manual update.
Will this remove the music that's already on the ipod?
Will I then have to drag each playlist over to the ipod individually to get the new data to the ipod, or will I just click 'update' and have it still be semi automatic?
will the ipod still update play counts to itunes with this manual update?

Music Count Not Working

I was hoping someone could help me with this problem I'm having.
I'm using an Original Edge iPhone.
Starting yesterday my music count has been a bit wacko. Every time I'm listening to a song it says "1 out of 101" even though I'm like...on the 50th song. I'm starting from "songs," so it isn't due to me going by album or artist. Also, after a song is finished, it goes to a random song next--in no absolute order.
Help please!

For the first problem, try doing a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
For the 2nd problem, start playing a song. Select on the album coverart area to bring up the time remaining indicator for the song. To the right of the time remaining indicator is the Shuffle icon. If selected, the color of the icon is blue. If blue, select it once to turn Shuffle off. The color of the icon is white when off.
