Star ratings not transferring in sync

When I'm on the go I give a star rating to my songs on my iPhone 3GS.
When I get home I'd love to transfer the ratings over to iTunes.
Is there a setting that turns this feature on?
Is it suppose to happen automatically?
I can't get any star ratings to transfer over from my iPhone to iTunes or from iTunes to my iPhone.
The sync takes ages then completes, I imagine it's doing something.
I had this issue before I updated to iOS4, I manually manage my music on the iPhone.

The ratings only transfer if you use itunes sync - they won't transfer using manually manage.
Same for the play counts.

  • Nano star RATINGS not reflected in iTunes 7.4.1 (2) - manual sync

    Aloha,
    I rated several tunes while walking. I don't have enough room on my 4gb iPod to carry everything at once. I would like to temporarily remove those tunes that I have already rated and put some others on. I use the star ratings as my own personal way to sort by speed, favs, and junk.
    When I get back to my Mac, I know that the ones with 1 star are to be deleted - pau (pronounced pow! Pau is Hawaiian for done, did it, finished, no more).
    2 stars is slow, maybe no words
    3 is walking pace, can talk over, easy listening
    4 is dance, hike, pep up
    5 are personal fav's of a variety of speeds
    I want to have that ranking info sync up with the same songs that came from my library in the first place. Then I want to dump those and grab more music, or audiobook parts, or podcasts, whatevahs. This is the way I used to do it on my old FireWire iPod many versions of iTunes ago.
    I plan to continue to rate music as I have time and when I get back to my Mac that rating system allows me to put the music into playlists that I have essentially created on the fly.
    I can change my rating system at any time and wa-la I've got a new playlist.
    I'm open to other ways of accomplishing same onthego sorting principle. I've tried creating a playlist using iTunes, but the playlist is on my Nano and I cannot copy it or the files to a playlist on my Mac. . . . maybe I can export a playlist
    Oh, that was ugly - don't follow me! I imported the playlist into my library and I now appear to duplicates of every playlist related to music (and the two called 4star are both empty). Great (eSarcasm).

    First thing to get out of the way is ratings do not transfer from iPod to iTunes in manual syncing. Try using sync selected playlists mode. Then set up iPod to sync the playlists you want on iPod.

  • Tags and star ratings not visable

    when i select named tags and/or star ratings,is there a way to make these visable when viewing in organiser ?
    Any help gratefully received.

    Hi,
    You don't say which version of Photoshop Elements you are using.
    In genera, if you talking about seeing the tags and ratings in the thumbnail view in the organizer, go to the View menu and make sure that Details is checked. If you want to see the file names also check File Names. Yoou may have to increase the size of the thumbnails, by using the zoom slider, to make the information appear.
    To see the tags associated with an image, hover the mouse over the little icons just below the thumbnail to the right. If you ae using version 12, you can select a thumbnail and then look in the Image Tags panel on the right. If the panel is not visible, click on the Tags/Info button (bottom right).
    Please come back if you need further help
    Brian

  • Star Ratings not shown.

    I have Photoshop 11 and wish to put the star ratings to my photos.  They are presently not being shown.  I followed the video which states to go into View and click on Details.  I did this and all the showed up was the date!  Help please. 

    If you are zoomed out to far (the thumbnails are too small), you will not longer see additional details like the star rating or file name. Move the zoom slider at the bottom to the right to 25% or more.

  • Ratings Not transferring from LR on one to another.

    I use a iMac to capture and tag photos as finalist. I then transfer the folder to another machine for editing. When I add the images into the editing machines lightroom, all the tags, ratings, stars, colors don't show up. 
    When I was on Lr3 on both machines, these tags transferred.  Even when a client used Bridge, they showed up.  Now, not so much. 
    MAc OS 10.8.2
    Lr 4.2
    Camera Raw 7.2
    This is true of both machines.

    I suggest you check the Catalog Settings, Metadata tab, "Automatically write changes into XMP". If this is not checked in the Catalog where you are tagging, the tags will not be copy-written out in a way that the other LR Catalog will in due course see. They will be present in the first Catalog only, where the other Catalog on the other computer cannot see them.
    I would comment that this overall workflow misses out on some potential flexibility and convenience. The two Catalogs are in effect communicating, but by a rather restrictive method.
    If for example the Catalog and the images were located somewhere you could see them from both computers seamlessly (network location or removable drive); or if a Catalog was selectively exported which encapsulated all of the LR work you had done, and that was then merged into the other computer; you could retain full LR function, rich organisation, continuity right through.
    The method  described works to an extent, but does so by stripping everything away except the limited amount of LR information which can be written to the individual file... IMO, it uses the database nature of LR in a way which (to some extent) makes it more of a hindrance than a help.

  • Aperture Star Ratings Not Showing

    Suddenly my ratings do not show on my photos. The rating does appear in the Metadata and the photos in a project sort by rating, but I cannot see the stars on the bottom corner of the thumbnail.
    Hope it's just something I clicked on to hide them... any help?

    There is a menu item to turn on and off the overlays in the thumbnail viewer. I think it is under View->Metadata.

  • Lightroom Mobile Not Syncing Star Ratings

    I have a couple of collections set up to sync with Lightroom mobile.  My problem is that the star ratings do not sync when I initially set things up.  Changes I make to the star ratings after the photos are synced will work. 
    Any other changes I make either on mobile or desktop will work as they should
    Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a possible fix?.
    Mac OSX 10.9.4, Lightroom 5.5, Lightroom Mobile 1.1.0

    Hi lukejc1,
    did you sync the collections you are having problems with Lightroom v. 5.4 and modified the ratings on LRmobile v.1.1?
    One "fix" would be to stop syncing this collection in LRdesktop, wait until collection disappears on LRmobile and then start syncing this collection again.
    Thanks,
    joerg

  • Transferring Star ratings in iTunes

    After using iTunes on a windows machine for years, I have taken the plung and purchased a mini-MAC. I have transferred all my songs from iTunes on the windows machine to iTunes on the mini-MAC. I have also figured out how to import my playlists from the PC to the MAC. Is there any way to "transfer" the star ratings of the songs from the PC iTunes to the MAC iTunes? I would really hate to lose the ratings on over 2000 songs?
    Thanks
    Mini Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I did it by making 5 separate smart playlists on the original machine, called '5star', '4star', '3star', etc. Then I exported the playlists - but as .txt files, NOT .xml files.
    I imported these playlists onto the new machine, then selected each of the imported playlists, one at a time, and assigned the appropriate star rating to all songs in each list. (Ctrl-A will select all songs in each list; then Ctrl-I will bring up one Info screen for each entire playlist, and you can go to the Options tab to set the star rating for all songs in each list.)
    Once I figured it out, it went pretty fast. You can delete both the smart playlist and the imprted lists after the ratings are assigned.

  • Why isn't my STAR RATINGS sync'ing?

    When I rated music on i-tunes it does not sync with my ratings on my iphone, anyone know how to fix ????

    I noticed the opposite. If I make changes in iTunes to the ratings it does sync over to the iPhone but if you rate anything on the iPhone those changes are not sync'd back to iTunes. I noticed some earlier posts about this and it seems like it has been around for a while. Seems basic iPod functionality isn't working on the phone. I REALLY REALLY hope they fix this (running 2.1 now).
    I noticed that that in addition to star ratings, the play count and last time played don't seem to sync either. What is really strange is that it seems to be spotty....does a few songs here and there. I listened to an entire album this afternoon, rated every song and after syncing iTunes shows I haven't listened to that album in days and none of the ratings are there. Worst part of it is that it syncs the songs from itunes back to the phone thus overwriting all the ratings you just did!
    Apple fix this!!

  • Transferring Star Ratings

    Hi,
    I've built a large collection of tracks in iTunes over the years and have meticulously 'star-rated' every one. A few months ago I bought a new computer (my first Mac) and transferred my music files across. Everything worked well except I lost my star ratings. Really don't want to start again (I have over 5000 tracks!). Is there a way I can transfer the star-ratings? Any ideas on what I did wrong?
    Thanks

    Simpliest way is to tranfer the whole iTunes folder which will include the files containing ratings etc.

    Hi, gcmar.
    I would double check to make sure that you have selected the options for syncing.  Look over the article below to make sure you have the items that you want selected to sync over.
