Skip count does not increase when song is skipped on ipod

First, has anyone been able to see a skip added after syncing, since 4.2 came out?
Second, is anyone familiar with what might have changed? Is there a fix I can't find?
Thanks in advance

I've had this same problem ever since iOS 4.2 came out. It's very frustrating as I use Skip Date to keep my commute playlist "fresh"...but ever since November, it seems I'm skipping the same dang songs all the time! Would love for this to get restored...unfortunately, judging by the lack of feedback on threads like this one, it would appear to be a low priority for just about everyone....

Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
Enable disk use is checked off
I ran a scan no malware

So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
Am I close?
It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

Play Count does not increase

Hey everyone...I've notice recently that when I have my iTouch connected to the computer and play a song the play count will increase, but if I'm just listening to it and then plug it back in, the play count has not increased. I listen to the songs in full, so I don't know why they won't increase in play count. Any ideas?

i realise why Apple has changed this behavior....
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
Now you can add music on multiple computers! (support page updated after iOS 5 introduction), thus playcount is no longer working when you are in Manually Manage Music mode... but instead of tracking individual libraries, they just kept it indepedent... and break the feature.
Apple should've explained this... i lost some good playcount on my songs

ITunes play count does not update when iPod is connected

iTunes keeps track of how many times i play the song on my computer but does not update when I connect my iPod. Is there a way to fix this??
thanks!!

I just checked and it does update for me. I'm still waiting to see if it updates from the AppleTV though.

Quantum TV - Skip Ahead does not work when program still recording or when time shifting

I've always used skip ahead (set to 30 secs) to jump over commercials etc. Since "upgrading" to Quantum, the skip ahead button does not always work. I've narrowed the problem down to when the show you're watching is still airing (i.e. not done recording). The skip ahead function seems to work for a while until you reach a certain point in the program, then instead of skipping ahead, it jumps back to some earlier spot in the program. When this problem occurs, this earlier spot is always the same spot. To get around this bug you have to remember not to use the skip ahead button (easier said than done) or you're forced to fast forward back to the spot you left off. So once the problem starts you have to use the Fast Forward button to skip ahead.
Is this a known issue? Is a fix in the works? Very frustrating indeed.
Other gripes I have are covered in other posts...such as the laggy remote controls.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

People have reported that the skip issue is fixed in the latest level of the Verizon code sent out on 9/11, and Verizon has also said it is fixed. Are you sure you still have the problem? If so, I suggest you check to see if you have the latest software:
Release: 1.0b
Build Number: 02.18.2
User Interface Version: 02.18.1
Middleware Version: 02.18
Firmware Version: KA12.37.03.04Alder.408758
I have not experienced the skip problem on the new software level, but I have only done the skipping once on a program still recording so that is probably not a good test.
I also do not really see any laggy response very often. Yes at times the box seems to just stop and take a deep breath or something for a couple of seconds, but overall the responses to commands from the remote have been getting better with each software upgrade (I have had 6 software upgrades I think since I got Quantum TV in early April). And I know Verizon has been working to improve the performance. Question: have you turned off the box and pulled the power plug for 15-20 seconds, then reconnected the power and let the box reinitialize? Some people have reported that doing that improves the remote performance (I have not had to do that).
At this point I really do not have any issues with Quantum TV at all, but then again I have a pretty simple setup, no sound system for example, and I never use any Widgets or VOD, which some people complain about. I have my setup to watch TV, and record programs to watch later, the rest of the functionality is really of little or no interest to me.

Album Art does not show when you Manually Manage your ipod

I currently have a 80gb ipod using itunes7 and when i add mp3s with artwork to my ipod manually the artwork does not appear. the option to display album artwork is one. if i change the settings so that my ipod syncs with itunes, and i drag the same mp3 to my library (then sync the ipod), the artwork will then appear.
the artwork does appear when i right click on the song and "get info"
i have already tried disabling then re-enabling the "display album artwork" setting. when enabled i waited for the "optimizing artwork" for quite a bit, disconnected and there was still no artwork showing.
is there a setting i am missing or is this just a bug? using the library is NOT an option for me.
sager Windows XP

I've had the same issue -- but you'll find when you disconnect the iPod and try to play the albums on your iPod itself that the artwork is actually there on the iPod. It just doesn't show in iTunes when you select info on particular songs on your iPod.

Report Engine does not increase when there is a large no of reports queue

Hello Everybody,
Specifications:
Product : Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services 10.1.2.0.2
OS : Windows 2003 R2 Server
Dual Core CPU 2600MHz
6 GB RAM
We are doing the sizing for our reports server. We have specified the following in our rep_server.conf
<engine id="rwEng" class="oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl" initEngine="2" maxEngine="6" minEngine="2" engLife="50" maxIdle="30" callbackTimeOut="90000" engineResponseTimeOut="3" jvmoptions="-Xms64m -Xmx128m">
Even when there are 5000 or more reports in the queue still the number of engines in the reports server remains at 2 though I have given that it can use upto a maximum of 6 engines. Can anybody please explain why this happens? Am I missing something here?
Thank you for your reply in advance.

Hello,
Anybody has any idea why the report engine is behaving like this?
Thanks in advance

The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play.

The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play. How do I make it appear so I can start a podcast in the middle of the program?

No errors in error console. No effect using *. I tried using the dns name of my localhost both in the Firefox URL and in the javascript and I get exactly the same. I have spent a huge amount of time looking into this issue.
One thing I noticed is that if I use the examples on the internet (http://arunranga.com/examples/access-control/preflightInvocation.html or http://saltybeagle.com/cors/) they work in the same browser. These examples however, are accessed through HTTP proxies.
I am wondering if the issue has to do with using the same hostname just with different ports.

When i delete files memory does not increase

When I delete files from the memory the size of available memory does not increase. Why?

Try restarting the computer, then select the disk's Desktop icon. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check how much free space is shown. If it still hasn't changed at all then try the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Although the suggestion to delete old Time Machine snapshots, if any, that will only free up space but will not fix the problem you have described. If you are deleting files but the free space on the drive fails to update, that means there is a directory problem on the drive that needs to be fixed.

Battery Cycles not increasing when charging

Hey,
I just noticed something on my MBP (2013, 15'' retina) and wasn't too sure about why this happens:
I use the MBP as my main computer, which mains when I'm at home I always plug it in. This also means that, for example on weekends, it's plugged in for multiple days in a row. Now I noticed this: When my battery is 100% and I keep the MBP plugged it, the cycle count never increases. As far as I know, my old MB (air) didn't behave that way. With my old MB, when the battery reached 100%, it would discharge to about 95% then start charging again, slowly increasing my cycle count. The new MBP always shows 100% battery and the current power usage - read out via the IOKit API apple provides - shows 0 mAh.
Does anyone know if the new MBP is actually "bypassing" the battery when plugged in and at 100%? Or is the cycle count basically wrong?

The battery counts a cycles when it has counted a certain threshold of charge. This means that if you discharge the battery part of the way down then charge the cycle count will not increase until a later charge.
Said another way...
the cycle count increases when the battery accumulates a certain amount of charge. Let's say that threshold is 1000mA-Hr. If you discharge the battery 500mA-Hr, then connect the charger the gas gauge IC will end up counting 500 mA-Hr. You will have to charge another 500 mA-Hr before it counts.
The net effect of this is that your cycle count will stay low IF you run on the charger most of the time becuase there will be little discharge.
Finally... Apple buys the gas gauge IC from companies like Texas Instruments (TI). Apple does not define this behavior.

ITunes Artwork Screensaver "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs

i have been using the iTunes Artwork Screensaver on my 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, running Leopard 10.5.2 and it has worked perfectly, showing all my album artwork. i got all the album covers from amazon.com or google. i have always kept my iTunes Library on my Boot Drive and have never moved it.
Yesterday when my computer went into screensaver mode (itunes artwork) the message "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork"!
This is really strange, as all the albums in my library have artwork. i have also tried deleting the iTunes Artwork Screensaver preference file.
I know that there are many issues with the artwork screensaver, but i have not found a solution to this problem.
I would appreciate anyones help!

i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one with this problem. i have seriously tried everything, like deleting the preference files of the itunes screensaver, using a script to embed the artwork, repairing disc permissions but i the screensaver just won't work. the message that my library does not contain any artwork still appear every time.

Create a file if it does not exist when a script runs

I have a shell script I run using automator that puts on the clipboard a string like Page 001, Page 002 and so forth incrementing the number 00x everytime it runs. I use it when I need to sequentially name files when doing things like scanning documents and so forth.
Presently, I have to manually create a file "~/counter" and enter the integer to start counting from. So if ~/counter contains 0, pbcopy places "Page 001" on the clipboard and so forth
The shell script
<pre class="jive-pre">
#!/usr/bin/env bash
myvar=$(cat ~/counter);
let myvar=$myvar+1;
mycopy=$(printf "Page %03d" $myvar);
echo "$mycopy" | pbcopy;
echo "$myvar" > ~/counter;
</pre>
works fine now.
I want to modify the script so that if ~/counter does not exist, the script creates a file and initializes an integer value say 1 in the file. If the file exists, the script uses the integer used in the file.
How can I get this done?

And because I can not leave "Well Enough Alone"
#!/usr/bin/env bash
count=0
[[ -r ~/counter ]] && read count anyjunk_aftercount <~/counter
count=$((count+1))
echo "$count" >~/counter
printf "Page %03d" $count | pbcopy
The anyjunk_aftercount is just in case something else gets into ~/counter. Assuming the first non-blank field on line 1 is the count, then anything following the count will be stuffed into anyjunk_aftercount and since the script ignores it, it will go away when the script re-writes ~/counter with just $count

VOD Sound drop at commercials and does not return when TV show resumes

i've noticed that there are other customers experiencing this problem and I have not seen any response from COmast support.When playing a TV-Show from On-Demand, the sound drops when a commerical starts and does not return when the TV Show resumes.A reenct example: Walking Dead 515.Yes, I have called comcast support to report it.Of course they wanted me to go through the standard drill - Power Off/On; Refresh Signal; etc. with no result...The problem occurs on series, e.g. - Walking Dead 515; Grey's Anatomy; It happens after the episode has been in the On Demand listing for about a week.It seems that the sponsors are no longer paying for the commercial, so the sound drops when the commercial comes on.However, the sound does not come back when the commercials end and the show comes back on.Stopping playback and starting at that point returns the sound, but, - oftentimes, the counter doesn't advance correctly in the Recently Viewed listing, so you end up starting back to the last time you stopped it. This is clearly a bug on the back-end, and I don't expect it to be fixed until enough people complain and Comcast Support replicates the problem observes it for themselves.

I have this EXACT problem on Anthony Bourdain's show Parts Unknown and the Last Ship. As soon as it hits the advertizement sound drops and continues as dropped. Pausing and restarting the program completely after exit regains sound but as soon as it hits another commercial it goes out again. The counter problem makes this option only good for a few times. Then it resets back.

CPU heats up on file copy/backup and fan speed does not increase

Hi Friends,
I have been having issues with fan in my Dell Studio 1555. It has an ATI Radeon card and I had installed the proprietary catalyst driver as the open source driver is too noisy.
Recently, I noticed that on accessing my hard disk and copy files or running backup (luckybackup), the temperature shoots up from around 60 deg C (just using chrome) to 100 deg C when it would shut down itself. However, it seems like the fan speed does not increase with the increase in temperature to help it cool down.
I tried to get the fan speed details with "lm-sensors" but it would not show the fan speed. Here is the output of sensors:
[user@domain]$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2: +59.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp3: +66.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +58.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +58.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Following the Arch wiki, I added acpi_enforce_resources=lax to kernel parameters but it did not help as well.
Here is the main problem:
1. CPU temperature shoots on accessing hard drive but fan speed does not increase - Any guide/direction to investigate would be really helpful.
2. Sensors does not show the fan speed. Read about i8kutils, but couldn't figure out how to get it working with systemd. Any indicators here?

Im having similar issue on a vostro 1710, fan never works... :-/
The fan was bad. I had to replace the fan. However, I have not been able to figure out how to see fan speed in sensors.

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
