Why is iTunes very randomly showing items as played

Since the 11.0 patch I have noticed and it's quite annoying, that iTunes is very randomly showing songs, TV shows and movies as having been played, but ironcally not watched. That part is true as I haven't watched the episodes yet, or listened to the songs.
For example last night at some point all of my iTunes extras all of a sudden show that they have been played... I don't think I have watched one of them.
This seems to be a major bug that needs to be addressed.

Also having this problem at the moment. Waiting for a fix.     
Edit: Working now... for now.

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.
    What do you think  jessejarvi?

  • Why will iTunes 10.5.1 will not play TV Shows

    Last weeks as well as earlier TV Shows still play normally, yet the latest TV Show I purchased yesterday (Pan Am) will not play and I get a message stating: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. Why is this, it was the latest TV show released last week, purchased on iTunes and will not run on an iMac.
    What is the reason for this and how do I fix it?
    Thank you

    I have the same problem since update of itunes to version 10.5.1.
    Downloaded movies after the update couldn't be started in itunes.
    Only the same message "...requires QuickTime...." will be shown.
    The movies are new one (Transformer 3,....)
    Open itunes in 32-Bit mode, start movie, stop itunes and start itunes again in 64-Bit mode fix it.
    Then the movie shows its cover and can be started as usually - as it was bevor the itunes update.
    In my case, no hardware and software changes have been made during this time.
    Maybe, the Problem is in the first recognition of itunes in 64-Bit mode. All old movies run as usual.

  • Why is iTunes redownloading TV shows without asking.

    Hello,
    I had the problem since two months ago. I was using my iMac, with iTunes opened in the background, when I realized that iTunes eventually started to redownload EVERY TV Show I bought in the iTunes Store previously, at 1080p, it means A LOT of data. I was able to stop it midway, but because of that I ended up paying a penalty fee because I downloaded over my internet usage data cap with my Internet Provider (a thing that never happened to me).
    I was very ******.
    I tried unboxing every checkbox in iTunes options that were related to downloading automatically stuff from the App Store. Even when I did that, it always seemed to restart the whole process as soon as I did something related to the iTunes store (like buying an App).
    Anyway, I decided ultimately that maybe something was wrong with my iTunes library, so basically I moved it, restarted with a new and empty iTunes library and moved in all my media files manually from the import menu.
    That was a month ago and everything worked well after that. However, today it started happening again. I bought an app from the app store and noticed that it started redownloading every episodes from the iTunes store.
    Anyone have an Idea what can be the cause of this ?
    It's only TV Shows. Never had problems with music or apps. (anyway I understand that Apps must download updates)
    (and yes, i'm on the latest version of iTunes and updated version of OS X Mountain Lion.)

    Hi,
    What I mean is that iTunes continues to say "N iTunes downloads available" which it occasionally tries to complete, and I keep hitting 'delete' because I already have the files on my computer's drive, which I assume got there from an AppleTV sync.
    Is there any way to prevent this extra download?
    Thanks!

  • Why is iTunes opening randomly after i close it?

    Well, the title pretty much sums it up. About 2 minutes after i close iTunes, it opens again. On its own!
    Any idea why?

    Did you try repairing permissions? It has done the same thing to me but I think all I had to do is repair my permissions.

  • Why doesnt itunes have the shows and movies i want to buy available for purchase in the store yet for example code lyoko and five fingers of death

    I would buy these shows and movies on itunes but they are not available how can i find them on itunes or somewere else that does have the shows and movies that i watch instead of the limited amount of content on itunes store now.

    Apple can only sell in a particular country's store what the content providers/rights-holders grant them licenses to sell. You can try requesting that they be added to your country's store, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Have you checked to see if they are available on other film/TV programme apps that you have access to ? e.g. is Netflix available in your country and have they got them ?

  • Itunes purchased tv show will not play on atv

    I recently purchased my ATV and have synced my itunes. I downloaded season 5 of "The Shield" from the itunes store. The shows play on my computer and show up under "My TV Shows" but no picture. There is a bar at the bottom of the black screen showing run time and a gear turning. Sometimes it shows the run time count going forward but, other times it stays at zero. I also intermittently get a message that says "There are no tv shows on your apple tv" or if the show is there it will say something like "cannot play..format not recognized". I am very frustrated and ready to send this thing back.
    Any help would be welcome - while I still have hair

    (1) Like you I can stream video content acquired outside of iTunes to my Apple TV, but I can't appear to play any video purchased on iTunes. On the other hand, music I've purchased plays fine and since my music collection no longer includes protected files I'm of the opinion that this is most likely a DRM issue.
    I don't know whether this issue appeared after iTunes 10.5 or the Apple TV 4.4.2 update.
    It is of some importance to me that Apple resolves this quickly.
    (2) I am not experiencing any issues with the bottom right hand output selection. Have you tried disconnecting from your network, starting something and then reconnecting to see if that resolves the issue?

  • Itunes purchased tv show won't play on my appletv 2 i keep getting a error 406 but all the other content will play just fine.

    I bought a season of Top Gear from itunes and tried to play it on my AppleTV 2, nothing would happen just the spiral processing thing. So I tried to air play it from my Mac. I would receieve error 406 about my appletv not being connected. So I tried to airplay other content to my appletv it all worked fine. Now the airplay icon on the bottom right of the itunes window will say "computer" but as soon as I click on any video or tv content itunes automatically airplays it to my apple tv instead of my computer. Please help!

  • HT3209 I have a MBP w/Retina Display, why does iTunes say HD content will not play on my device?

    is anyone else having this issue?

    MBPr's are very recent machines.  The oldest ones are from this past summer.  Mine has a quad-core i7 2.6 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5, along with the Retina display.  This is more than enough system power to display HD movies, per the article you reference unhelpfully.

  • My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...
