IPad 2 air playlists and songs disappearing! Help!

Dear All,
I'm trying to prepare for a party which I'm dj-ing at using an iPad running an app called day2 but I'm having problems getting the tunes on to my iPad Air 2 as they keep disappearing.
I create a playlist on my ipad air 2 fill it from iTunes Mac Pro running 10.8.5 I manually move each song onto the playlist. I see the songs appear on the iPad and then after the home screen locks and I unlock it - the playlist and the songs have disappeared. When I go to the songs in iTunes under my iPad and click on them I get the ! mark next to every song. Each one is no longer there.
Does anyone know what's happening? I've pretty much turned off all syncing - iTunes match etc.
I need to sort this for tomorrow - Saturday. Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks Damon

If you can, try logging in to iTunes from a computer to see if your ID is accepted.
Also, try resetting the iPad:
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi network(s)

  • Somehow, my iTunes music disappeared.  I restored it with Time Machine and have all of my music.  However, my playlists and song ratings did not restore.  Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to restore my playlists and ratings?  Thanks.

    Somehow, my iTunes music vanished from iTunes.  I was able to restore my music from Time Machine, but I lost my playlists and song ratings.  Does anyone know how I can restore the playlists and ratings?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    iTunes as you see it is more than just a file or two.  It is all the contents of the iTunes folder including the critical library.itl file.  That holds pretty much all the information about what you see when you start iTunes.  You need to restore the whole iTunes folder, not just media files.

  • How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?

    My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
    Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.

    Did you change the screen resolution?
    You can right-click on empty space on the Desktop and open the Display Properties.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library with the playlists and song plays from a PC to a MAC

    I just recently got a MacBook and I'd like to transfer my iTunes library as well as the playlists and song plays over to this computer and i was wondering how i should go about doing so.
    I've found a few tutorials on how to edit the .xml files but I haven't really succeeded in doing so.

    Use an external HDD and copy the entire iTunes folder from the original computer to the Mac and place it in ~/Music.

  • TS4062 Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?

    Not all of my playlists and songs sync from my Mac to my iphone, any ideas?

    Just got through flailing with the same problem within the hour.  It turned out I had music purchased with an earlier Apple ID in iTunes.  My solution was to authorize the computer in iTunes with the previous ID and then all music would sync.  Might try that.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Can I limit playlists and songs in ATV2?

    When I am putting songs and playlists from iTunes to my iPhone or iPod, I can choose to sync only certain playlists and songs within the playlists (by unchecking songs). Can I do that with Apple TV2? I have a ton of songs, playlists and artists in iTunes, many of which I only want to hear on special occasions rather than on shuffle play on ATV2. Or am I just going to have to fast forward to the net song when something plays that I don't want to listen to?

    Unfortunately you can't restrict content, which I guess is even more of a problem if there's stuff you don't want children to see and not just stuff you don't want cluttering up the menu's.

  • Please help me with playlists and songs

    Hiya Im really stuck!
    I have an Ipod and am running windows, I added all my CD's and songs to my Ipod but as my computer doesnt have a lot of space I deleted them from the hard drive once I had done this.
    Now when I try to make a standard playlist by dragging them onto the playlist I created it wont work and it also wont let me add any artwork to albums.
    Am I being really thick or is there a simple solution.
    Any help is really really appreciated
    Thanks

    "Am I being really thick or is there a simple solution."
    Yes. Don't delete them from your hard drive. You cannot create playlists of, or add artwork to songs that aren't there!!

  • Will all my playlists and songs be ok after I organized and consolidated library that was already on external hard drive

    I am organizing and consolidating my library in the hopes of keeping all my playlists and libraries intact on myWestern Digital external hard drive.  My current computer, an HP Dv6 Pavillion running Windows 7 is going in for repair for the 2nd time.  When it came back to me to the first time, ITunes was still there unscathed.   I just don't want to take a chance.  If anyone has any ideas to help.
    Thanks
    Heather

    When this happens (used to happen to me a LOT), iTunes will have a backup .itl file in the iTunes folder.  Delete the newly created .itl file, rename the backup to iTunes Library.it, and point iTunes to this existing library.  Everything should be back.
    I'd guess you have a large library.  Mine started doing this when I got over 50k or so songs, and would happen as I was doing massive updates to the library.

  • Moving playlists AND songs from one computer to another

    Hi there,
    I need to move several playlists and the songs in those playlists from my Mini to my laptop. Why? The laptop is going to be playing the music at my wedding, and the Mini's staying home.
    I have 6 different playlists. I know how to export the playlists as an XML file and import that file onto the laptop. But what about the files themselves? Between the 6 playlists, there's probably over 200 songs. I'd rather not hunt them all down, move them manually to the laptop, export XML playlists, lather, rinse, repeat.... but I suppose I will if I need to!
    If it help, my Mini's entire iTunes library lives on an external hard drive.
    Thoughts? Suggestions? Moral support?

    I'm confused--if your laptop is authorized to play all of the songs in your mini library, why can't you just burn a DATA DVD (if you have a DVD burner) of everything on the playlist. This should work on your laptop (as long as it's authorized to play purchased tunes). Post back if you have questions, but I don't know why this won't work!

  • How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.

    How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

    Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.

  • When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more.  You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond.  Any ideas?

    When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more.  You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play.  Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works.  Any ideas?  It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

    Hi.  Thanks for your reply.
    It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist.  Always two different songs within the playlist.  You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens.  Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command. 
    I reset, then restored ATV.  Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few.  The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes.  If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist.  I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
    It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

  • I just installed itunes on new computer and songs disappeared from Ipod

    I just reinstalled itunes on a computer that had a bug and was cleaned up and cleared out.  When I reinstalled itunes and it sync'd all my songs disappeared from my ipod. how do I get them back

    That is correct.
    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything abck on the coputer, then you would sync them to your ipod.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, njot good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
