Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

  • Issue regarding 0MATERIAL_ATTR  - Attribute not Updated for Some Materials

    Hi All,
    As per requirement, I had enhanced 0MATERIAL_ATTR DS with one customer field MRP Controller.
    After enhancing 0MATERIAL_ATTR, I had made necessary changes in related objects like 0MATERIAL Info Object & related transformation for this new attribute.
    After making changes, when I had done Repair full request for 0MATERIAL_ATTR, newly added attribute had not updated for all material, other attributes were updated correctly but MRP controller had not updated for some records.
    I am confused with why attribute(MRP controller) updated in some Materials & for some materials its not updated.
    I had checked in PSA, data for this added attribute is come in PSA but not updated in data target (0material).
    I had also activated master data by running Attribute change run but still problem persist.
    Please help.
    Regards,

    Now newly adder attribute MRP controller available in recent request of Repair Full but that is blank in case of prior delta update.

  • Why wont iTunes allow me to copy/sync a song from my iPod?

    Why wont iTunes allow me to copy/sync a song from my iPod? I have a song on my iPod that i want on my laptop to add to my iPhone, but i can't sync it. I did not purchase it via iTunes.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    As the song came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and be included in your regular backup of your computer.
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.

  • When I sync my ipod touch with itunes it only syncs half of every song to my ipod touch

    When I sync my ipod touch with itunes it only syncs half of every song to my ipod touch.  I cant figure out how to fix this problem. PLEASE HELP ME resolve this problem! THANKS!

    - Yes. If you sync with another coputer. the contents of the iPod will be replaced with those on the new computer.
    - You can redownload most iTues puchases b:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - If yo want to retain app data like saved games, do the following after all the apps and other things on in the iTunes library:
    ---- Connect the iPod t the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • I connected an old iPod from a different computer to my iTunes account and now my iTunes account will not let me download anything. My iPod touch will not take my password. How can I fix this?

    I connected an older iPod to my new iTunes account to download my new library to it. Now my new account is not recognizing my password and I can not download anything to my library and iPod touch, can you tell me how to fix this?

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • HT4913 Itunes match is not updating recently added songs. It doesn't seem to be able to complete the update when I start to match.

    I am experiencing difficulties adding new songs to icloud via itunes Match. Match just doesn't complete the update, keeps running and running, but never actually finishes. This make managing my music impossible as I can't make playlists until the songs have been loaded into the cloud. How can I fix or get around this? If this continues, I would like to remove Match entirely - how can I do this?

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • TA48312 update for ios on 2nd generation ipod touch

    Please help!
    I'm in need of an IOs update for the 2nd generation ipod touch.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance, jbeaugh

    Look on the back of the case. A 2nd gen iPod will have a 2008 Apple trademark on the back. 3rd gen will not. 2nd gen devices cannot be upgraded past iOS 4.2.1
    That 3.1.2 would be your iOS version. Plug your device into iTunes and on the device About screen you will have the option to update your iPod. Hopefully this was what you needed. Good luck.

  • Album artwork not showing for some songs of the same album, but the artwork is there?

    On my iphone, some songs aren't showing the album artwork.. But other songs from the same exact album have the artwork.
    When i click get info, the artwork is there on itunes, and when i click the 'my music' tab when my phone is connected, but it doesn't show the artwork on my phone when the song is playing.. help?

    See this...
    btabz: My songs have artwork in iTunes, but it won't transfer to my iPod!
    I haven't updated this for iTunes 7, so if you are using iTunes 7, the iPod preferences show up when you connect your iPod (there is no need to go to edit-->preferences and click the iPod tab as it says in the tip).

  • Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

    It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

    Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.

  • Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

    Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

    No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • Free v2.1 update for a new 16 GB iPod Touch owner?

    Hello.
    Shouldn't new owners of iPod Touch (e.g., 16 GB and two days old) get v2.1 upgrade for free and not $9.95? I assume this is a firmware upgrade.
    Thank you in advance.

    The 2.0 was never included on 1st Gen iPod touches, so even if you bought it today, you'll have to fork over the 10 bucks.
    Although, it's not so much a firmware update, as more of a software/OS upgrade.
    It's well worth it, though, try it out!
    Hope this helps.
    Ah bummer. Is it true that only v2 has the asian character input feature and not in v1? My client wants that.

  • Why is iTunes 11 taking so long to sync music to my iPod Touch Gen 5?

    I have the latest version of iTunes installed on my Macbook, mid-2012 (Mountain Lion OS). I recently upgrade my iPod Touch 5 (64GB) to iOS7, and in the process, was forced to reload all 10,000+ or so songs in my library onto the iPod again.  I have the conversion checkbox set to "128K" for my music, so that I can cram more songs into the iPod, and it literally took 32 hours before the "syncing" stopped.  I tried again, just for the **** of it, with the conversion unchecked, and it was much faster, but still took 5-6 hours to transfer a reduced number of songs.  Before iOS 7, and before the new iTunes revision, this process, with conversion, took a couple of hours for 10,000 songs - maybe a little more - but certainly nowhere near 30 hours!
    Is anyone else having this experience?
