If you can’t find it, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Now select the Startup tab and check to see whether iTunesHelper is present and correctly checked. To check that iTunesHelper is running at startup, open the System Configuration Utility (hit the Start button, select Run, enter the command msconfig and hit enter. What iTunesHelper does is spot whether you’ve connected an iPod or iPhone, and tell iTunes to start if you’ve activated that option (see step 2). Like me, you might well have deactivated iTunesHelper, thinking that your iTunes didn’t need any help, thank you very much. If you’re anything like me, you’ll visit the System Configuration Utility (AKA msconfig) every few months, looking for background services that can be disabled.

If you have iTunes and Last.fm starting in a different order, you might well find that Last.fm has problems identifying your iPod scrobbles. The order you want to achieve is: Connect iPod > iTunes starts automatically > Last.fm starts automatically. In order to get last.fm to scrobble your iPod, you’ll need to check that the different programs involved launch in the right order. Simply open the Last.fm client, hit Ctrl+O, select ‘iPod’ and then click Clear user associations.Ģ – Make sure everything starts in the correct order It’s a good idea to start from scratch if your having problems with your iPod and Last.fm. I’ve finally fixed the problem and I thought I’d share my method. But at the end of last year, I noticed that whenever I connected my iPod to my work PC, Last.fm would report No scrobbles found on your iPod, which could be seriously annoying when I’d actually been away listening to Royal Trux for a whole week. So when Last.fm added support for iPod ‘scrobbling’ in 2008, I was happier than ever!įor a while, iPod scrobbling seemed to work fine. But what Last.fm still does better than any other service is statistics: nowhere else can I track what music I’ve been listening to for the last few years, and find people with similar tastes. Last.fm might not be the darling of the free internet radio world anymore – especially given that Spotify seems to have more tracks available to listen to. 3 – Check that iTunesHelper is running at startup.2 – Make sure everything starts in the correct order.: Connection timed out: connectĪt (Native Method)Īt (Unknown Source)Īt (Unknown Source)Īt (Unknown Source)Īt (Unknown Source)Īt (Unknown Source)Īt .nnect(Playe r.java:340)Īt .Player.slimprotoCmd( Player.java:211)Īt .Protocol.socketCommand (Protocol.java:421)Īt .Protocol.access$400(Pr otocol.java:42)Īt .Protocol$n (Protocol.java:520)Ĥ333808 DEBUG audiobuffer.verbose - avil R=0 W=0 A=0Ĥ333808 DEBUG player.verbose - status=stat fullness=0 bytesRx=0 elapsedSeconds=0Ĥ333808 WARN softsqueeze - Lost contact with Slim ServerĤ334074 DEBUG audiobuffer.verbose - avil R=0 W=0 A=0Ĥ334074 DEBUG player.
