Song data no longer transferring from iPhone to iTunes since iOS 7 update?

I recently updated my iPhone with iOS 7 and iTunes to 11.1.  Since I've done this, when I plug my phone into iTunes, iTunes does not register songs that I've recently listened to on my phone has having been played.  The "Last Played" column does not update.  This creates issues with my Smart Playlists, which I have set up to to choose only songs that I have not listened to in the last 5 weeks.  I've tried creating a new Smart Playlist to see if the old ones just weren't working properly anymore, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.  It's the lack of updating in the "Last Played" information for my songs.  Does anyone know of something I can do to try and fix it?  I really like having Smart Playlists that keep me from having to hear too many of the same songs over and over.  Thanks!

  • Applications no-longer syncing from iPhone to iTunes

    I've had an iPhone 4 since December 2010. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was syncing happily with iTunes and apps purchased/downloaded on the iPhone were transferring over to iTunes every time the phone was connected and a sync initiated. (although, sometimes multiple syncs would be required to make sure all apps transferred; but 'new' apps would appear in the library)
    A couple of weeks ago this stopped. I plug the phone in, select "sync" or "transfer purchases from iPhone" -- the progress bar at the top shows "copying [app name]" and goes through the process for all my new apps. It tends to hang on the last one for 20-30 seconds, before moving onto the rest of the sync process.
    After the "sync complete" message comes up, I check the library (and the file system) and none of the apps it said it was copying have been transferred. A re-sync or re-transfer of purchases shows it copying the same apps over again -- with the same result; nothing appearing in the library.
    I have, therefore, taken to duplicating my downloads in iTunes; if an app is downloaded in iTunes it seems happy syncing that back to the phone (and recognising that the app on the phone is the same as the one in the library).
    However, I'm now in a situation where a bunch of apps will not let me download them without re-purchasing. (i.e. I click on them in iTunes and get the "You WILL be charged for this purchase" message rather than the "you've already bought this, download it free")
    Apps previously downloaded and in the library transfer back to the phone without problem. It's just that apps downloaded on the phone will not transfer.
    I have de-authorised and re-authorised the computer. I have upgraded to the latest versions of the iOS and iTunes (at time of writing that's 4.3.1 and 10.2.1.1). I have cleared sync history. I've deleted and recreated backups. I've turned auto syncing off and on.
    I have not tried the following:
    1)uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it
    2)syncing the phone with iTunes on a different computer
    3)restoring factory settings on the iPhone (surely this would lose me all the applications, including the ones I'm being told I have to re-pay for)
    4)deleting my iTunes library (I do have a backup, but, would it let me delete all the apps and then re-import them from my backup? That said, the backup is missing the apps that won't transfer)
    With most of these, I've not tried it because "I fear I will lose everything"
    As far as I can tell, these problems started occurring when I moved my iTunes library to a removable drive (I have a 180Gb hard drive on my laptop, and coming up to 60Gb of it was being used by iTunes - so I transferred this to a 500Gb removable drive that I make sure I plug in (and has the correct drive letter) prior to starting iTunes or any syncing process)
    I've tried resetting the library location to the default -- it made no difference.
    While I'm "okay with" buying apps on the computer and then transferring them, it isn't ideal -- or the easiest solution; plus it doesn't sort out the apps that are currently refusing to transfer and are prompting for a re-purchase.
    My system is Windows Vista 32bit, 4Gb memory; 500Gb removable drive, 180Gb local hard-drive.
    Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

    As no-one has anything to add (yet); I'll add that this morning I've updated the iOS version to 4.3.2 (which appeared as available over the weekend); currently I'm still unable to transfer purchases (this includes things that I'd previously purchased, transfered to the phone and updated). Additionally, the first few attempts to sync following the update gave me the "not enought space to sync apps" message -- this is dispite itunes reporting around 0.30GB to 0.70GB prior to the sync attempt, and around 1.5 GB following the failed "not enough space" sync. (Right now I'm running a sync again and it looks like iTunes is reporting a correct/realistic amount of space)
    I've not heard anything back from anyone at apple (I flagged the stalling apps in the iTunes app store, which seemed to be the recommended thing to do for apps that were "previously purchased but not available freely to download"); and by the lack of responses here I'm getting the feeling I'm the only one with this problem.
    If something simple like deauthorizing iTunes, uninstalling iTunes, rebooting, re-installing and reauthorizing iTunes would fix it (and wouldn't lose any of my music, apps or videos) then I'd be happy to do that. Again, if I could do a factory settings restore on the phone and have it fixed (and I could get apps and in-app content back without a re-purchase) - then I'd be happy to do that too.
    If the solution would be to use a new install of iTunes on a different computer (authorized as myself, auto-syncing of devices turned off); and then use a "transfer purchases" to copy all the apps (including the problem ones) to the new library -- then using removable media, transfer them back into my library proper -- well -- I'd do that too (I'm sure I can borrow a work PC for a couple of hours to install/transfer)
    My big problem is that I've had no feedback as to whether anything like this would help; whether my purchases would be okay -- and so on. I also don't know why this problem is occuring; is it tied to the problem apps -- if I simply delete them, will the iPhone suddenly start syncing like it used to; or is there someother problem there that I'm not seeing? (As it's now the case that NO apps purchased on the iPhone will transfer, will it simply be the case that all I'll have done is removed a bunch of apps that I can't get back and have the problem still exist?)
    Once again, any ideas?

  • ITunes no longer syncs to iPhone or iPad after iOS security update

    I did the iOS security update on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air.  Now, iTunes will not sync with either device - neither one.  In both cases, I get the error message "iPhone5 (or iPad) can not be synced.  An unknown error occured (1140)."
    I then did the iTunes update that just came out - still the same problem.
    The Mac is a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 7 running OSX 10.7.5.  Everything worked fine before the iOS security update.
    What is going on?  What to do?

    Finally, I had time to do a on-line support session with the Apple Care help people (excellent).  We went through and verified a lot of things.  Finally, he had me run the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions".  That resolved things and it works now.
    Also related is that the iOS 7.1 update installed a lot of stuff on the iPhone - including iMovie, Numbers, Pages, Keynotes - stuff that I will use on the iPad but not on the iPhone.  The result of automatically installing all these things on the iPhone was to but it way over the limit on memory.  I deselected thos apps (and a few others) plus some movies and am now below the memory limit on the iPhone.
    Things are now working well with both the iPhone and iPad - both syncing correctly.  So, with that, I will close out this case.

  • How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?

    How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?
    I mean to say that I downloaded mp3 songs from websites (not from iTunes) which I synced in my iPhone 4 using ''Manaually Manage Music''.
    Now I am in my homecountry for vacations and don't have the laptop in which my iTune library is synced and I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted.
    Please help!

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    " I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted."
    That is correct.

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
    Where did you get the iPhone?

  • I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

    I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

  • Once photos transferred from iPhone 4S to PC, unable to edit them.

    I transferred all photos from my iPhone 4S to my PC (Windows Vista). They are in my Windows gallery. However, I am not able to edit them. I want to rotate them, as most of them are sideways.. My PC gives me this error message "This photo cannot be saved because of a problem with the photos properties". It's in JPEG format so I am not sure why it won't let me. It's for all pictures that are transferred from iPhone to PC. Any suggestions?

    That worked, however, a lot of work to do for all pictures. I noticed though, that these are the pictures I take with the camera vertically. When I take pictures holding camera horizontally, they transfer over correctly. If I take the vertical picture and change it to horizontal before sending to my email, it will then be able to be rotated in Windows. So it seems as though any pictures taken vertically willl transfer over horizontally, needing to be rotated, but only Paint will allow me to do that. Make sense? Any setting on the iPhone that will correct this, when taking pictures vertically? Most of the time, that's how I take pictures.

  • Can't get some songs from iPhone to iTunes...?

    So I tried "Transfer purchases from iPhone to iTunes" but it only did like 5 of the 100 I have on there that aren't already in the Library. I just don't know what else to do.

    I am also having a problem with Iphone syncing all of my library. I have a toshiba laptop running vista and there are four family members all with their own profile using the same Itunes account to buy and download songs.
    When I sync my Iphone it only copies 103 of my 159 songs. It won't even sync any of the songs I just purchased, even though all the songs I have were purchased with the same Itunes account. I have tried deleting my entire library and re-loading it, manually dragging songs to my iphone and using other family members profiles but nothing works. Can anybody help?

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • The actual date is not transferred from the (PS) milestone

    Hello ,
    In an order with header billing plan dates that are value-based, the actual date is not transferred from the Project System (PS) milestone, even though the actual date of the assigned milestone was changed via transaction CJ20N.
    We are repeatedly facing this error , I have applied Note number 1395078 but still once in a while I am still facing the issue
    Regards
    Muralidharan.S

    Check the following path in SPRO
    IMG - PS - Revenue & earning - planned revenues - Automatic Plan Revenue cal - Maintain Billing Plan Settings
    There, you use the billing plan to plan dates on a WBS element whose payment requests or invoices relevant to sales are to be sent to customers.
    The system updates the planned revenue and planned payment receipts to the relevant WBS element. The planned revenue is updated using the revenue element stored in the planning profile for the work breakdown structure and using the financial item assigned to the revenue element.
    You make the settings given below for the billing plan. To do this, you carry out the following steps:
    - Maintain billing plan type
    - Maintain date description for billing plan
    - Maintain revenue element for billing plan
    - Assign billing plan type to project profile
    Hope this can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards
