Resetting play count?

How do I reset the play count for my library? It's pretty inaccurate so I might as well start it over.

Command (Apple) key A.
Or select the first one then Shift click the last one.

Reset Play Count

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

"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.

Reset skip count without resetting play count?

How to do this on a PC?

Likely solution
The VBS association got associated to Notepad, usually accidentally with the Open With option. You will just need to change the Current Default program for the .vbs file extension (Name) to C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe (Microsoft Windows Based Script Host) instead of Notepad. Method Two in this tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Is there a way to "reset" the games "played count" on the 5th Gen iPod Nano

I was just looking through my new iPod Nano (16 GB), and happened to select
all three games (Klondike, Maze and Vortex), but never played them, just looked and then
quit out of each game. Now I have a "game played" count on all three games.
I'm not sure if I may hang onto this iPod Nano or possibly look into an iTouch.
If I sell this new one on eBay, I would like to know how to reset the "game counts"
back to 0 or the original "default" of no game counts showing.
Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, why would Apple even need to show a "game played count" on any of
the iPod Nano games ... very weird.

I think the only way you can reset play counts on games is if you do a full restore of the ipod. But, then again, if you plan on selling it on ebay, it'd be probably be best if you do the restore, that way it'd be like opening a brand new ipod for the new owner.
As for why Apple would want to keep track of game counts...I have no idea.

What is "reset skip count"?

What is the "reset skip count" setting for? I can't seem to figure it out through experimentation, and it's not mentioned (that I can find) in iTunes help.
Not an emergency, I'm just curious. (If it matters--right-clicking on podcasts, iTunes 7.1.1)

I guess the newer versions of iTunes not only keeps track of Play Counts, but also keeps track of songs you skip when they start playing. I assume this is so you can look and find out which songs you routinely skip when they start and may want to just remove from the iPod or library. So the reset skip count command would simply set that count back to zero just like the reset play count resets the play count back to zero.

Play Count Incorrect (How can I have played the song 11,198,165 times?)

For some reason some of the play counts for my songs are quite wrong. One 2:41 song says I've played it 11,198,165 times -- that would take approximately 55 years! How can I get rid of this information, and in getting rid of it what else would I be deleting?

go to the song in itunes and right click -> reset play count.

Play Count Restart

How do I change the play count to reset without having to change every single song?

If you want to reset the count for every item in your iTunes Library, select Library in the Source List and press the Ctrl and A keys together.
That will highlight every song. Right-click one of them, select Reset Play Count and voilà.
