Why Apple removed reset play Counter in iTunes?

Tim,

Why Apple removed Reset counter in iTunes is a mystery to me. This function is essential for the functioning of my smart playlist series. Apple is a great company and I am more than satisfied with all of the options available in terms of hardware and software. However, it is curious to know why such a large company would remove such innocent and important function as the counter to play iTunes without notice, reason or workaroundReset. I don't know how can I restructure my smart playlists in order to achieve the same performance. I don't understand not to create something, but to take something that is so fundamental is disconcerting. I've just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, and it has not been returned. What is 'funny', the counter to play is still there in every song, for what reason?

Please as a community, we need to know that this is not good behavior for this great company and encourage Apple to return this function even if you do not use this function because at some point, one of your favorite smart playlist features can be removed and you may need the strength of the Apple community. Thanks for your time and your input.

Update your iTunes. According to the release notes, it was restored in iTunes 12.4.1.

Secondly, this isn't the place to let Apple know something. They are not here, this is a user to user support forum. Back to Apple goes to their comments here, page http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the box in this area.

  • Idle curiosity: why so many users want to reset play counties?

    Pope,

    Interesting question.  An example is the users who want to know their songs most played of the week/month/year.  Given that iTunes does not follow the pieces by time interval, the only way to do such a thing (in iTunes) is to reset the play at the beginning of the interval.

    You can do this in fact better with last.fm, but some prefer to do everything in iTunes and then reset plays is essential.

  • Reset play count

    After that the most recent iTunes updated, the ability to reset the counter to play songs seems to be missing.  Is there a way to reset the counter of my songs?

    Yes, I noticed it instantly.  Which is really annoying because I have all my smart list managed by game counties and sometimes to reset a track to keep it in a longer playlist.  There seems to be this old work around Doug I'll try, but I can't believe that Apple has removed this option.

  • Is anyway to manually day time / play count in iTunes 12.3?

    I have just updated several old albums (but preferred) with a higher throughput, better quality versions. But in doing so, the lower bitrate versions now have been removed and so I lost all references the number of times individual tracks had been played. I really like the 'Parts' or count of reading data in iTunes and let me know if there is anyway I can update manually intends to play in the latest version of iTunes (12.3.3) for Mac?

    I tried modifying the XML Library file but when I open iTunes it does not recognize manual editing and when I close iTunes it overwrites any manual changes that I made to the XML file.

    Any ideas?

    I also had love to hear if there is anyway when I play music from my library via my Sonos system, is iTunes anyway for Sonos update of the counties to play too?

    If there is a way to edit charges, it won't be easy. I kind of doubt he is one and reading the blog on the website of Dougscripts will explain why. Same date added cannot be changed. Neither can the sides but there is a solution for those who transfer from another library.

  • Why can't I play the videos to M4V format bought in iTunes in windows media player

    Original title: M4V format

    Why can't I play the videos to M4V format bought in iTunes in windows media player. Thank you

    If the video does not the restrictions of DRM (Digital Rights Management), so you can see just by changing the .mp4 extension allows it to be played in Windows Media Player, but if Apple added restrictions to the file DRM then you will be limited to such players as apple deems suitable to be used, probably iTunes or Quicktime.

  • 12 iTunes play count not synchronized to all devices

    Here's another funny:

    I run a mac mini as a music server, this unit has all the physical files and plays music most of the time.

    Next to it is my air that I use for work, and there is another mac at home. These two are connected to iTunes game / iCloud. If I ever play music with one of them, I listen to icloud. Works very well. But: the game number is synchronized between the 2 'streamers', but not to the main unit (the mini with the physical files), and every song I play on the mini won't get counted. New files added to its library through and appear on all macs connected, however.

    It's as if as if treats Mac all connected, even about their iTunes libraries, but makes a difference between a file it plays of the cloud and those he plays locally. ITunes is really make a difference between files that are available locally and the same files downloaded on iCloud?

    Thank you!

    David

    It's so easy: the mastermac library was not related to the game/icloud

  • I am trying to rebuild my old iTunes library (hoping to keep notes, play counts, playlists, etc.) on a new laptop of an old PC, even if the only files I have to use the old are the .xml, .itl.

    I am trying to rebuild my old iTunes library (hoping to keep notes, play counts, playlists, etc.) on a new laptop of an old PC, although the only files I have to use the old are the .xml, .itl and current music files. Is this enough information to do it, and if so, how should I do?

    I lost the other information by following the instructions found online of other attempts. I have unfortunately seem to have lost all that concerns my old library with the exception of the foregoing. I have been using an external hard drive to make this attempt. When iTunes opens it is empty, and when you try to import the .xml I only get playlists, although there is nothing inside of them. It would not be the end of the world for me to start all over again, I've not lost music files, but loading in my all of my old info is much, much, much more desirable. Thank you!

    I'm sure that the sides are stored with the file of 80%. (wav mp3/4 whatever)---> or at least the should be!

    Just install itunes.

    Copy the contents of your old folder in the itunes directory and start itunes--> it will do the rest.

    PS...
    However, I wouldn't bother with itunes more... windows media player is pretty cool in 7, does all the same things.

    Personally I stick with the purchase of CD (mp3 downloads are a rip off)

    'Cool' apples, however, is not it... and what would we do without our podcasts (what happened to the embedded html objects I don't know) computer nerd who serves the grannies

  • How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

    How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • Cannot delete the incorrect recipient "found in Mail" (and why Apple recipients to merge two incorrectly in the first place)

    I don't know how it happened, but I got a new doctor yesterday morning (it was the first time email address), they replied, then I replied again. Everything was fine.  Then, I sent my father later in the afternoon on a guitar. He said that he never had the email about the guitar but then later the new doctor responded saying I sent this message from guitar to them by mistake. I looked in my "Sent" to the message folder and it was sent to 'Rick Smith', which is the correct name for my father, but when I developed the details the actual address itself was my address of doctors!

    I checked my Contact cards and card "Rick Smith" my father had no address of the doctor as an email, so it's been very well. Also, I had not all the contact cards using this email to all address. In Apple mail, I went to the "previous winners' window and has removed the false contact and thought it would solve the problem. Unfortunately when I type in "Rick" when sending a new email, the first suggestion in the drop-down list gives me the real email "[email protected]" and the second suggestion is "Rick Smith - doctorxxxx@gmail ' and it is said that address"was in the mail." I also tried to delete the message and he always appears as an option in the drop-down list. In addition, I have a contact card for my dad with the correct address, so I don't know why he can't just use that one correct.

    I'm used to typing «Ri...» "and then selecting"Rick Smith"when I start a new email for him, but I don't want my doctor obviously message.

    First, how can I get rid of this fake recipient...

    Secondly, how and why Apple Mail merging those two into one without my knowledge? Is this a glitch El Capitan? (I just changed recently)

    I admit that your message is too long for me to read in its entirety.

    But I think you have some additional e-mail recipient information you do not wish to keep.

    In the Mail application, use the menu to go to the window > previous winners and clean you want to delete from there.
