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?

Last Skipped Date, Skip count, are not updated in any songs that i listen in my iPhone5s

I've been using smart playlist that's relays on the play count, last skipped date and skipped count fields... I have been using an old ipod to heard my music through this smart playlist that live updates all the time and it was working great.
So my issue is, since i bought a new iPhone 5S and start using it to listen music, my smart playlist that relays on " play count, last skipped date, skipped count " fields are not updating, and when i connect my iphone to the PC i realize that those fields never update after i play or skip any song in my iPhone.
So, I'm not sure if this is an iPhone restriction, that i need to use my iPod again to get my smart playlist that relys on those fields to work... or my iphone is defective and need to re-install the iOS.
Any help on this matter will be enormously appreciated
Thanks in advance

I have playlists that rely on the Last Skipped and
Skip Count properties of songs, but these items only
seem to be triggered if the song is fast forwarded
between 3-20 seconds into the song. I tried to skip
I think this is how it's intended, though there isn't much info on this feature. I've seen the same behavior and other users have reported same.
One thing that threw me off for a bit using this feature was trying to use with playlists where the songs had "remember playback position" checked. Last skipped doesn't register at all with these tracks.

Itunes 7 displays incorrect Skip Count values

Using iTunes7,0 Mac and a 2GB 1st Gen iPod Nano
When I connect the nano, the skip count for songs that already have a (>1) skip count gets something like doubled.
For instance song X has a skip count equal to 8.
I connect the nano, then song X skip count now equals 16.
Looks like a bug no?
By the way, it seems that songs that I skip (within the 1" - 20" window) on the nano dont update their skip count in itunes, on the other hand, songs that I skip on my other G5 ipod have their skip count updated.

Installed version 7,0,1
Problem still exists

Skip Count not counting

So my iPod (2nd Gen) isn't syncing the skip count to iTunes and I was wondering how I can fix this. I have done a full restore on the iPod, which did help solve my issue. Anyone have any suggestions? Need more info, let me know.

Hi Peongreeny, did you get this to work? most of the threads talk about iphone, but I'm having the same problem on my ipod.
if you have news, and share, I'll appreciate.
tks!

Cannot sync Last Skipped and Skip Count

I have a 1st-gen iPod Nano with the latest firmware (1.3) and the latest iTunes (7.0.2) but when I sync the Nano, the Last Skipped and Skip Count fields are not updated on any of the songs I've skipped. There seem to be many people complaining about this so can you please get a fix asap?

Skip Count

Does anyone know how to "fix" the skip count on iTUNES? It seems that it works fine until I sync my Nano and then I get crazy counts like 1024 and 532. Anyone else experiencing this?

iTunes doesn't seem to keep track of songs I "skip" on my nano. However, my wife's shuffle seems to account for an insane number of skips, such as 1230 and other similarly ridiculous numbers.

Skip count ipod and itunes; rating podcasts

Does anyone know why itunes only registers a skiped song when it is done on itunes? If I skip a song on my ipod and synce it up to itunes later it does not register a skip count for that particular song.
In another unrealed question. How come i can not rate podcasts on the ipod? I would much rather have the ability to rate a podcast than look at all the detailed podcast info? Is there a fix for this?

Yes. I would start by redownloading these tracks if they cannot be played either in iTunes or on your iPod.

ITunes 11.1.2 not registering new ID3 v2.4 tags (Deleting music from both library and HDD)

I'm a DJ and therefore have ALOT of editing in my iTunes music library (adding and deleting tracks, commenting, adding tracks to new- and smart playlists etc.).
Music management on the hdd -wise, I frequently use the ID3 tags for deleting tracks from both the music library and my hdd, but since updating iTunes to 11.1.2 i'm having difficulties.
I have this routine for deleting tracks:
Rating tracks due to delete with 0 stars
Going to smart playlist called 'To trash' (filter = 0 stars), select all tracks
Adding/changing genre to 'to trash'
Searching for 'Move to trash' in my HDD music folder
Move all mp3 files to trash, empty trash
iTunes, run Doug Script 'Super Remove Dead Tracks'
After the routine, all tracks I decided to delete, where deleted from both the library and hdd folder.
BUT, now it seems that Finder doesn't find any mp3 files with the ID3 metatag of 'to trash' (Step 4), hence i cannot "smart find" the tracks i want to delete.
Possible cause of the problem: i'm suspecting it to be iTunes not "tagging" properly;
All of my "DJ-tags", such as 'MTV' and 'Mainstream' etc, in comments, tagged before updating to 11.1.2, can be found by these metatags, but it seems like new tags/comments are not "registered" in the ID3 metatags - at least not recognized by Finder.
Note: I know that i can just downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes, but I'm very interested in having my equipment up to date, since I'm using it professionally, and want it to be as stable as possible with my hardware.
Any suggestions?

The next question it will ask is if you want to delete from your HD.
Anyways, the topic is (mostly) about iTunes not tagging properly (apparently).
Yes, there are two issues.
ID3 tags.
Your workflow, which is way too much. Use the computer to do the work, not you. No need to pull your engine just to change the oil.
Just checked and the ID3 tags works fine here.
Do this.
System prefs > Spotlight.
Select the Privacy tab and add the drive with your media.
Then remove the drive with your media.
This will force the OS to rebuild the Spotlight index files, which where the metadata for files is stored for searching.
This app you can view the Spotlight metadata of files/folders.

Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?
