Recently played tracks not showing

I take my ipod classic to work with me everyday, i synched my ipod yesterday and it was showing that the last track played was on the 21st March. I've just synched it again and it now shows all the tracks i've listened to today, but still hasn't updated tracks from 1:24pm on Sunday until last night. Has this happened to everyone or just me? I'm a bit annoyed as (i know this sounds geekish) i like my ipod to calculate every track i've listened to so that i can see how many times i've listened to certain tracks! Any help with this would be gratefully received.

A couple possibilities:
1- If you edit songs in your iTunes library (maybe add artwork, make corrections to Album name, etc.) then the updated songs will not show recent play history from your iPod when you sync it. Any songs that you did not edit will show a playcount (and/or rating) update.
2- If you reset your iPod in between syncs, you will lose any play history and rating changes since your last sync.
3- If you manually manage your iPod, your play history and rating changes will not update your iTunes library, except in the rare case where people auto-sync, then change to manual mode without re-loading the entire contents. In that case, your iPod will update your library even though it is in manual mode, but any songs that you manually added to the iPod will not update your library.
That is how syncing is supposed to work, so if none of that applies to you then maybe you ought to try resetting the iPod, or if that doesn't help then maybe restore it.

  • Why are recently added and recently played playlists not showing on iphone 4s when they show in iTunes?

    In my iTunes window, the playlists for my iphone 4s when it is connected show correctly. The playlists include 'top 25 most played songs', 'recently played', and 'recently added'. Although they appear in iTunes even after syncing, they do not show on my iPhone and I can not use them (they aren't there). But they continue to show in the iTunes list for the device. This is frustrating because I often like to play my recently added list or top 25. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I would also like to know this. =/

    You need to provide more information. How are you connecting your iPad to the TV. Are you using an Apple TV 2, a component AV cable, a composite AV cable or the digital AV cable?

  • Recently Played Artists not updating!

    Alright, so there is already a thread about this, but Spotify hasn't addressed it yet, so I figure I'd start a second one. It's been about 3-4 weeks since my "Recently Played Artists" or my friends "Recently Played Artists" have updated. This is very frustating to me and others I've heard from. I'd like to see my own because there are days where I'll go through 2-3 artists' entire collection of work, then the next day do some other artists, but sometimes I like to look back and see what I had listened to (which would be in Recently Played Artists) without having to add a bunch of songs to my or a playlist. Not that that matters - for the last several weeks whenever I've followed a new playlist, it won't show up on my account page. Luckily it still shows up in the left hand bar, but I use my phone a lot and it's not as easy as it is on the computer. I also like to see what my friends are/have been listening to as well, but since I haven't seen a change in any of theirs for 3-4 weeks, unless I'm on and looking at what they are currently playing, I don't know. This brings up another issue I've been having where sometimes it will say the last person listening to music was, say, 4 hours ago... but if I close Spotify and restart it (which takes 10 seconds), then 4 people are listening to music live and I'll see in my feed that others had been listening in the time between 4 hours. My computer is always connected to wifi, and I had never had this problem before. The amalgamation of these little (but irritating) problems has really defeated the feeling of connectedness I've had since getting Spotify several months ago. Additionally, seeing what you and your friends' Recently Played/Top Played artists is what, to me, makes Spotify more enjoyable than just listening to music in my iTunes library.  If you are having this problem, please click the "ME TOO" button, as this will highlight this post for Spotify to see.

    Hey Rustie! So yesterday morning I sent them a breakdown of things I found/noticed. I was on a Free test account and noticed some problems with specific ads that would just completely pause the music once they were done. But I was mainly trying out the Recently Played Artists obviously, and keeping an eye on the activity feed too since I was having trouble with that. Everytime there is an an-app update, say someone adds a song to a playlist you follow, the activity feed stops refreshing until you close and restart the app. I noticed this on my account and didn't know what was causing it, but on the test account is where I pinned down in-app updates as being the source of the issue. For Recently Played Artists - no luck. I played Of Monsters and Men for two days straight (let it play while I slept too) so that there would be no question it would make it to the Recently Played. The list didn't update in the 3 days I had the account however.  When I sent them the email yesterday, I was sort of disappointed. I told them exactly who I had listened to and what I had noticed with the app, and up until this email they'd been very eager to hear from me, but when I told them nothing had happened I just got a generic email about how cases like mine are being collected and that Spotify is looking at it... Well I know they're looking at it as I've been emailing them about it for the last week haha, I guess I shouldn't be expecting a full report on what they've found or what they're doing about it other than "looking" but I would've like to know if it's a bug or a programming error or something rather than just being told again that the issue is being addressed.  I'm not mad at that though, I understand technical difficulties can be tough, and there are a lot of people complaining so I'm sure they really ARE working on it, but what annoyed me is that this is clearly a problem, and so they put out an update that changes the shade of green for the app icon...? Maybe I'm seeing things but it looks like the update changed the color of my mobile app icon, which is completely pointless to me and any amount of time that went towards changing the color very slightly should've have gone towards dealing with actual issues in my opinion. But I may just being seeing things. Anyway, they certainly are trying to figure this issue out so that's good to hear.

  • Recently played list not updating in when connecting my 1st gen iPod Nano

    My Recently played list in iTunes will not show any songs recently played songs in my Nano.
    Why? How do I fix that?
    I've "repaired" iTunes, and updated my iPod to the lastest version.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello lakersfan44,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, I am assuming this smart playlist is still available and viewable from within iTunes correct?
    Have you made sure your iPod is properly configured to sync playlists?

  • Recently Edited Files not Showing in Organiser PSE11

    My recently edited files do not show in the editor.  All the repairs, optimise etc have been done.  Photos have been saved as Jpeg and PSD and the check box to save in Organiser also ticked. Timeline does not show anything saved today and untagged media is not picking up anything.    Please  can someone help.  Many thanks

    Has anyone out there able to tell me why the recently edited files do not show  as the newest in the Organiser  PSE11.    It worked fine and then just stopped.    How can I fix it please?
    It's because the sort order is based on 'date taken', the date and time when the picture was shot (if the camera is correctly set for the time...)
    Edit:
    There is no way to select pictures based on the last editing time (nothing in the Find menu, either by metadata or history). That information is only stored in Windows explorer.
    If you want to keep track of your recently edited pictures, the only workaround I can see is to apply a keyword like 'new edit' each time you edit a picture. I suppose that such info is no longer needed after your editing batch, so you can select all those files and delete the keyword from all of them. The keyword is still available for the next editing batch.
    Generally, people interested in seeing the  most recent edits use the editor to see the recent edits. You can set the preference to up to 30 recent files in edit/preference menu, file recording option.

  • IPod Mini 'Recently Played' playlist not updating...any ideas?

    Does anyone have any idea why my 'Recently Played' playlist on my
    iPod mini would suddenly stop updating itself?
    I tried to fix it by connecting to my computer and deleting the playlist
    through iTunes and creating a new 'Smart Playlist' with exactly the
    same settings of the last 'Recently Played' playlist but now, the new
    'Recently Played' playlist on the iPod is just staying the same, its not
    updating, its the songs that were played on my computer before I
    disconnected my iPod, so it's not even the songs from my iPod...
    Hope that makes sense.....anyone got any ideas?

    I'm not a user of smart playlists, but could it have something to do with this?

  • List of recent Lightroom Catalogs not showing in the dialog at launch

    I have a friend using Lightroom 3 on a Windows 7 PC. She uses multiple catalogs. (one for each client) as do I.
    Now when she launches LR the list of recent catalogs is empty. Could this be cleared some where? Why do they not show up and  will they start showing up again after she opens different catalogs?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    If LR uses the Windows recent-files facility, and I’m not saying it does, then clearing recent documents in another area of Windows might have cleared LR’s too.    A question back to her would be whether other recent-documents lists have disappeared or only the LR-catalog recent list.  The recent-files would be user-profile specific, too, I think, so logging in with a different user would make things look different. 
    If the LR recent-library-list is something internal to LR and unrelated to the OS, then it could be part of the preferences, and if she reset preferences for any reason, then that might have cleared the catalog list.
    If this is on a Mac, then I’m not sure, but I’d expect the OS has a recently-opened-files facility, too, and that such things are tied to the user.
    Unless there is some permission problem or corruption that has caused them to disappear, they probably should start showing up, again.  It’d be easy enough for her to check, just open LR and open a catalog, then close LR and open LR, again and see if the just-opened catalog shows in the list.  If so then there’s probably nothing more to do, except not do whatever cleared the list in the first place, where we can’t really know what she did since we weren’t there.

  • Nike+ workout tracks not showing up on iPhone after sync

    I have a bunch of the "workout" mixes you can get from iTunes (Increase Your Speed, Treadmill, etc), and with each of those sets, one track is a continuous mix of all of the songs. That one track is what I want to sync with my iPhone.
    According to iTunes, the track is on the iPhone. When I click the little triangle next to the iPhone icon in iTunes, I see that the track is on the iPhone, but when I try and find it on the iPhone, it's not there. I have tried creating a playlist and also searching for it by name.
    Any ideas why those track are not showing up? Thanks!

    I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
    After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
    You can follow the following steps:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
    3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
    4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
    5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
    6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
    7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
    Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
    I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
    Cheers

  • Leopard DVD Vista Tracks not showing up on iTunes Music Library.

    Yet again, another obstacle in what I thought would have otherwise been the simple task of converting iTunes purchases to audio CD.
    My MacBook is refusing to do ANYTHING with CD-Rs, so I am trying to drop some purchases from a DVD back-up burned on my Mac a few days ago, onto a VISTA platform.
    I just dropped an album onto the relevant iTunes folder in this VISTA computer, and I was about to try and burn to audio, only it is not showing up in iTunes > Music!
    The other option I looked into a few months back was to simply drop the tracks on this VISTA computer by simply plugging my iPod into a USB port, only it wont allow me to do this unless I reformat my iPod with windows firmware!
    This is absolutely ridiculous!
    What is going on here, why is this simple task turning into a nightmare?

    I solved this. I simple had to select the tracks in windows explorer and press <enter> and they then showed up in iTunes Musis.

  • Tracks not showing up in "Songs" list on iPhone 4s

    Hi all,
    Just have a problem that's been driving me a bit nuts. I sync a track onto my iPhone 4s and it's not showing up on the main "Songs" list - but it can be found if I search by artist/album etc - or in a playlist.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks so much.

  • HT201269 A recent backup is not showing up for my ipone 5 (ios 7)?  How can I find it?

    I am in the process of having my ipone replaced.  In the process to satisfy apple that the phone needed replacing (front camera issues), they had me restore it to original settings, which I did.  Nothing changed, so they agreed to replace it.  Yey!   Of course I backed up my files, but now I am having trouble finding the correct backup.  In the process of resetting, a new backup file was created (although there was nothing to backup).  I accidentally backed up to this file, which simply recet my phone back to original settings...again.  So, now, my previous backup is not showing up...  Agh!  Is there a way to find my origainal backup file?  Any help is appreciated.

    How are you backing up, using iTunes? If so, your available backups will be listed here: iTunes>Preferences(under the Edit menu in Windows)>Devices. If not listed here, then it doesn't exist.

  • Recently played playlist not updating

    I'm posting this query here and in the ipod thread as i don't know if the problem is with my itunes, or the ipod itself:
    Basically, we've had a new PC, and I intstalled iTunes and uploaded all of my music with no problems. However, whenever i used to play a song on the ipod through "shuffle songs", it would drop onto the bottom of my "recently played" playlist on the ipod, then would go to the top of the list when the ipod got connected to the PC. Now the songs won't appear on the recently played list until the ipod is connected to the PC. I'm wondering then if this is something to do with the settings in iTunes, as i didn't have this problem until i got the new PC and had to start over with iTunes. Have had a look on the settings menu on the ipod itself, and also on the preferences menu on itunes, but can't see anything that looks like it might help. Is this a glitch or a simple settings problem?
    Many Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem, does anyone kno a solution?
