Skip count on the iPhone?

Does anyone know whether you can use the "skip count" feature the Apple incorporated into iTunes 7? I'd like to be able to skip a song on my iPhone, sync to iTunes, and have iTunes show that the song has been skipped.
The "Play count" syncing features appears to work on the iPhone, but I can't get the "Skip count" to sync. I've tried various approaches to get iTunes to recognize my skipped songs on my iPhone (e.g., making sure I skipped the track before 20 seconds elapsed, tapping the next button on the iPhone to skip ahead, etc.), but nothing has worked for me so far.
Any ideas?
iPhone 8GB Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Is anyone else wanting the "skip count" or "last skipped" feature on their iPhone? Right now, the iPhone doesn't keep track of that song data; therefore, when you sync with iTunes, the application doesn't record whether you skipped any songs while listening with your iPhone. Many of my smart playlists don't work well without that function.
I wonder if the new iPod Touch will have the feature. It seems like the whole iPod lineup should have the same functions available.
How can the iPhone (and maybe the iPod Touch) be the "best iPod ever" if it doesn't have this useful feature that other iPods have?

Does Apple have any planes to fix skip count on the itouch?

When I skip a song on my itouch and sync it later, the songs I skipped don't show as being skipped. This makes almost all of my smart playlist useless! I used to buy songs every Tuesday until i noticed my Itouch was playing songs i was tired of and had skipped many times. I hope it gets fixed soon.

NO, I'm not talking about the play count. The play count works fine. I use a smart playlist that says don't play songs i have skipped in the last year. When I skip a song on my itouch then sync the itouch to my itunes playlist no songs show that they have been skipped. If i skip a song in itunes it shows that it has been skipped. I've tried skipping songs on my itouch from 1sec to 45 sec and not once does it show that a song has been skipped.
This feature has worked for years, but stoped sometime last year and hasn't worked on any of the 3 ipods that I currently own. It must be an software issue. I have seen others complain about it, but no response from Apple about it.

Whenever I sync my iPhone 5 my play count on the iPhone doesn't transfer to my iTunes.

Hi,
After listening to music on my iPhone 5 the play count doesn't adjust when I sync to my iTunes. Anyone help?
Thanks!

You should contact Apple Support to get it serviced, your device is still under warranty.

How can I get the skip count to work on my iPhone?

I continue to keep looking for the answer to this question however, it's seems that I continue to keep running into a wall. I have several of my smart playlists that rely on monitoring the skip counts. I never had an issue until I upgraded from a touch to an iPhone. What's the deal? This phone can do everything and anything imaginable but it can' keep a skip count. Has anyone figure out how to fix this, or am I going to be waiting like everyone else for apple to fix the issue? Help!!!! This is frustrating.

At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.

After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Purchased songs skip/jump in the middle of playback on my iPhone 3GS.

Try deleting all the Music on the phone and re-syncing:

I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.

If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
This is all covered in the User's Guide.

HT1420 I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit.

I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit. One iPhone and one iPad show in the authorization list. iTunes wants to delete my purchased programs and books from the iPad to continue synchronization. What can I do?

Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
No pairing, no network devices.
Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

Downloaded an E.P. and all of the songs play fine except one which skips itself. The play count goes up and if I click later in the song it will play, but it doesn't play automatically, how do i fix this?

many thanks.
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

What can I do?

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Is anyone having issues with their iPhone 5 music controls in a 2012 Hyundai Accent, both on Bluetooth and using a headphone or USB cable? My music plays but I cannot skip songs without physically using the iPhone 5 controls. Thanks!

Hello,
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 purchased from an AT&T store - it is a normal phone, no changes, no jailbreaking. I tried using my phone and my girlfriend’s iPhone 5 with the USB auxiliary cable in my 2012 Hyundai Accent. No matter what connector I use (headphone, USB, auxiliary) it doesn't charge or allow me to use the Hyundai’s controls to change music. Music will play through the Bluetooth system, but I cannot control the music unless I physically touch my iPhone. My iPhone 4 has a USB auxiliary cable and works perfectly; it charges and I have full control of my music without having to touch my phone. Nothing works even if I use the adapter that connects the iPhone 4 charger end to the iPhone 5. The picture below shows the iPhone 4 USB cable but it needs to have the (blue) iPhone 5 adapter.
Here’s the best part of this whole situation. I was told by Hyundai Customer Care that there is a specific USB cable available for my iPhone and that I need to contact a dealer. However, two Hyundai dealerships have told me that they do not have a cable, that Apple has not made a cable for the iPhone 5, and that I need to contact Apple directly or order it from an Apple store. It gets better. I contacted an Apple Store and they told me to contact Hyundai. I explained what I wrote above and they put on a call with Apple Customer Care. After 37 minutes on the phone with Apple, they still couldn't give me a satisfactory answer on how to get this cable or if they even had a cable (Case ID 505467409).
So here is the magical question: Is there a working adapter for the iPhone 5 that connect to a 2012 Hyundai Accent? It needs to play music, charge the phone, and work with the car’s controls. Thanks!

The problem is that you're using an uncertified lightning to 30-pin connector (the blue cable). If you purchase the 30-pin to lightning cable (either online, at an Apple store or an authorized dealer) it should work fine.
I have a 2011 Tuscon and tried the lightning to USB cable that came with the phone - no dice. Talked to my local Hyundai dealer and they don't have an eta on the Hyundai lightning cables (I'm sure it's in the works).

ITunes keeps skipping songs on my iPhone and iPad

This is a problem as many have reported. I have about 4500 songs on iMac that are combination of my own CD's and purchased music from iTunes. I have several dozen songs or more that are skipped on both my iPhone 5 and iPad air. I have been to two different genius bars to try to rectify this problem to no avail. For instance I have the CD Stage Fright by The Band. Even though on both my both my phone and iPad it shows the songs, song 1,2,3 and 5 won't play. I have tried everything. I have turned off iTunes match on my iMac. Turned off iMatch on my phone, deleted the music on the phone. I then turned iTunes match back on my iMac to refresh. Turned on iMatch on the phone. Now my entire library of songs are in the iCloud. I proceeded to download the Stage Fright album on the phone and once again the 4 songs will not play while the other 6 songs from the album will. This isn't a case where iTunes doesn't sell the album. They do and every song is available for purchase. Each one of the four songs plays perfectly on my iMac. I have never done an exact count of the songs that won't play on my iPhone or iMac. That would involve trying to listen to everyone of the 4500 songs. Another CD in particular is the Power and Glory from NFL Films, the music of Sam Spence.
Some of the clips are spoken tracks and some are music. I would say about 5 or 6 tracks will not play but get skipped over.
There is some glitch from the various updates of iTunes and iMatch over the last couple of years that have caused this. I could understand if tracks were somehow corrupted but they are not. It varies from artist to artist and album to album. Sometimes it is only one song on a particular CD.
I am purchasing the iPhone 6 next week. If no one can come up with solution can someone tell me how do a hard sync of my music from iMac to my iPhone. When you do a hard sync to back up with phone with the cable to mac when you click on music it says your songs are in the iCloud. When I restore my new phone from back up how would one do the hard sync where each of the 4500 songs are uploaded to phone. I know this is a long process as this is what everyone did before iMatch.

Since this has been posted I guess no one has a solution. The only other reply is someone else had the same problem. Apple doesn't care because they would prefer their solution which is to buy the tracks from them and not load your own CD's on iTunes. Somewhere in the cloud the tracks that don't play on my iPhone are sitting there. Makes absolutely no sense that the other uploaded tracks work fine. I guess I'm going to have to test all 4500 tracks to get the exact count and then go over the Apple store to see if they can submit this to a software engineer at the Apple campus to find an answer.

Skip counts in iTunes not registering

For the past month or so, iTunes does not register skipped songs on my iPhone or iPad when I sync. All are latest software versions. Skip counts register when I skip a song in iTunes and play counts register on all devices. This makes most of my smart playlists pointless. Any ideas? Thanks.

Which particular Windows OS are you using, Goderic? XP, Vista or 7?
