Reset Play count on ipod ?

Hi -
Can you reset the play count on the iPod Touch?
(I know you can do it for iTunes)
Thanks....

Hello people, i have the same count problem in a 64 gig 3rd gen ipod touch. I've been trough all them iOS versions (j--b and also not j--b) and currently i have a fresh 4.3.2 (not j--b) and nothing has been fixed.
I copied like 20 songs this morning and played them in random order. Then i plugged in and sync. Unplugged and after played certain song that was in 1. Plugged again and this song jumped to 5 just after one play.
Bummer (just as Ellen Feiss would say)
PS i loved so much my ipod classic 30 gig

  • How do i reset play count?

    How do i reset the play count on my iPod? (I have an iPod Video.) Also, in anyone knows how to do it on itunes too, that would be awesome. Thanks.

    In iTunes go to edit/select all (or highlight just the songs that you want to reset). Right click on the songs and select "reset play count". Click 'ok'.
    Sync your ipod to iTunes to reflect the changes on there also.

    What is the keyboard shortcut to resetting the play count of a song? Thank You.

    I don't know if Vista has anything to do with it specifically, but normally in iTunes you can select the item or set of items and then right click and pick the "Reset Play Count" option.

  • Syncing resets play count!

    iTunes 10.1.1; iPod Touch 2G 8GB iOS 4.2.1
    This started happening with the latest iTunes update.
    Every time I sync, iTunes resets the play count to zero on the track I happened to be playing at the time I started the sync. The track is always paused and I have tried going back to the beginning of the track and going to the previous track; but still the same result.
    The smart playlist I'm syncing selects 800 tunes at random based on play count > 0 and last played is not in the last 3 days. I suspect iTunes is having trouble with particular types of smart playlist - similar to problems some of us had with a previous update: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11332318#11332318

    After trying all sorts of different combinations of things I couldn't find any correlation to playlists. I actually didn't start having this problem until after I re-created my Library following these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    I only re-created the library to solve a separate issue with non-existant podcasts showing up in the Remote app. It did fix that problem, but created the play count syncing problem.
    I have now reverted back to my old library and the play count syncing problem is gone.
    So in my case this was clearly a problem with the actual iTunes library and not the syncing device (or somehow a combination of both).
    I tried testing a brand new library in iTunes 10, but the syncing problem was still there.
    It seems unlikely, but could this be a bug with libraries "created" in iTunes 10? I would assume most people have iTunes libraries that were created with an older version. There are probably not many people who have just started an iTunes library with version 10 and are also paying attention to play counts and how they sync. Perhaps this is why so few people seem to have this problem or be aware of it?
    Have any of you re-created your library with iTunes 10 or started a new library with iTunes 10?

  • Hard drive crash...want to restore play counts from ipod.

    My hard drive crashed and obviously I lost all of my iTunes library stuff.  I have all of my song files on an external hard drive so that is not the issue.  What I want is to restore my library including play counts and all of that.  My ipod touch is still synced to the library that died so I was wondering if anyone knew a method to restore play count and other relating counters directly from the ipod.

    Restore your library from the backup you keep of your media and other important files.
    You do have a backup, correct?
    You iPod really doesn't keep the play count, it offloads that information whenever you sync to iTunes.

  • Sync Play count between iPod & iTunes when manually update selected

    Hello,
    I use manual updating on iTunes simply because I have so much music, it wont fit onto my iPod, so I manually select the songs I want on.
    I have been reading and find that doing this stops the iPod and iTunes from updating the Play count and Last played. Doesnt this sound a bit daft?
    People have played suggestions such as creating certain playlists that are automatically synced with the iPod, but my songs are all in playlists.
    Is there any addon or way that you can get the iPod and iTunes to automatically sync that part so it updates? Without turning on automatic syncing?
    Thanks

    Playcounts only sync if you are syncing. They don't if you're manually managing your music. Sorry.

  • ITunes resets play count to "1" after syncing

    Hi, recently I've noticed that after syncing my iPod the play count for the tracks I've played that day are showing as 1 even though many of them have been played a lot more than that (some in the 100s). This has only been only happening since I upgraded my software to iTunes 10.2.2 and is very frustrating as I find the play count info very useful.
    Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    When your ipod is plugged into your itune click on it in itune and uncheck sync at the bottom of the page.

  • Problem resetting play count

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to reset the play count of all my tracks in iTunes. I've been doing this by selecting all tracks (2,862 tracks) and then control clicking the mouse to reset the play count. It asks me whether I'm sure and then I just get the beachball until I have to Force Quit. I've tried doing this with twenty tracks and I have the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong ?
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Copying Play Count from iPod to iTunes?

    Hello, is it possible to copy the play count of songs from iPod to iTunes? I do not have my iPod syncing with iTunes (and do not want to have that feature enabled). Also, I do not merely want the play count to be overwritten, but added onto.
    Thank you,
    Victor Ly

    Thanks for replying. I do not use autosync because the songs on my iPod do not come from a single computer, but the four computers I personally have and two other ones (my girlfriend's and another friend's). Also, I have a Nano and my song collection is way more than my Nano can hold. Just the music I have purchased off iTunes won't fit onto my Nano.
    If anyone knows of an alternative way, please let me know. Is there anyway I can turn autosync on for the play count update and not have it do anything else? Thanks.

  • Reset play count for CD's that I own

    In my iTunes Music Library I have only CD's that I own. I would like to reset all play counts to zero. How can I do that.
    N.B. I have tried to change the play counts that appear in Library.xml, but this has no effect and gets corrected back from information stored somewhere else when I open iTunes.

    Hey there,
    I would check out this article from methodshop explaining just how to do this. Hope it helps.

  • Play Count and iPod

    is there a way to disable the iPod from adding to the play count for songs when you plug it in?

    Ok an observation and then a possible solution.
    The observation: I find it very interesting how when people begin to use something they like that offers features never before offered (and this goes for anything, not just computers and software) that people become obsessed and/or dependent on that feature. With itunes and ipods, the whole issue of Play Counts has to be the number one in this regard. People are obsessed. Oh can't have my playlist be out of whack of what I actually listened to. Or I got a new computer/iPod/hard drive and I don't want to lose my playcounts. Funny how a few years back, most people before getting into iTunes or an iPod probably never considered how many times they listened to one album or song vs. another, let alone getting obsessed with maintaining a count.
    Yes iTunes came around, introduced play counts, and now everyone is all up in arms if their playcounts are not accurate, updated, lost, etc.
    OK so the possible solution. Since you use a Mac, you can use several different Apple scripts to adjust playcounts. In particular there is one that lets you add or subtract from the playcount (vs. setting a playcount to a specific number). So you can select a song or a bunch of songs at once, invoke the script, type the number you want to add or subtract then hit the or button and your playcounts are incremented or decremented that amount.
    So in your situation, you simply play your iPod and fall asleep. Then next time you sync your iPod, all you have to do is in iTunes, go to the most recently played list (which is a SmartPlaylist you can adjust the total number shown so instead of just 25 or whatever, make it 100 or whatever works), select all the songs from the one after the last one you recall listening to before falling asleep through to the when the iPod turned off or you woke up or whatever it is. With all of them selected, invoke the script, type in 1, hit the minus button and all those tracks will have their playcount adjusted down one, preserving the playcount the way you like.

  • Won't sync play counts from iPod and IS automatically updating

    Well, the subject pretty much says it all...for some reason when I connect my iPod it won't sync the play counts. Searching for other posts on this I see that you have to be set to automatically sync everything but it IS doing that (meaning, not having "manually manage music and videos" checked and having "sync music" and "all songs and playlists" checked, yes?). So when I connect it, it syncs and seems to do everything it should be doing except the play counts. I use Last.fm so this is really bugging me! What should I do? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • "Set" (Not Reset) Play Count

    Hi, I would like to specify a number of playcounts for certain songs. So for example I buy the video version of a song that I previously had audio only. So I want to transfer the count from the audio version to the new video version so that it ranks in the right place in my "most played" songs. I can see how to "reset" the playcount but this does not help given it moves the count to zero.
    Thanks. Matt

    Go to Doug's Applescripts for iTunes page (a Google search will turn up the URL for you and search for an Applescript called "Add or Subtract Playcount". It works great. You select a song or group of songs, click the Applescripts menu, pick that one, then enter in the number you want to add or subtract then simply click the PLUS or the MINIS button and that many counts will be added or subtracted from the total.
