Audiobooks disappearing from Iphone

I am listening to audiobook and all of a sudden the current section I am listening to disappears.  Then as I try to refresh my library 1x1 the previous parts of the book disappear as well.  When looking in the music app on the phone, all 4 parts of the book show up, but when I click on it, it will not play.  It is holding my place in the book, but none of the parts will play.  Closing app, relaunching and no different.  Closing app, rebooting and relaunching and nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Music that you've downloaded or synced to your iPhone will only be deleted if you delete it.
If the songs or albums have the cloud icon against them in the Music app then they are only in the cloud, they are not stored on your phone - tapping the cloud icon next to them should download them onto your phone (or you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app). Turning Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'on' or 'off' will cause the music that you have in the cloud to show (i.e. have the cloud icon) or be hidden from the Music app (your phone will also need to be online for it to show). If you delete a downloaded/synced iTunes purchased album or track from your phone then as long as it is still in the store then it will change (assuming that you have the showing of cloud music enabled) to show as being in the cloud instead (so will get the cloud icon) ; similarly downloading a cloud album/track will store it on your phone and remove the cloud icon against it.
If you don't want some of your cloud music to show (when you have cloud music enabled) on your phone then you can use your computer's iTunes to hide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support.
How have you 'activated, deleted and redownloaded the music' ?

  • Audiobooks disappears from Audiobook folder

    I have a 8gb 2gen ipod nano and the problem is that when I start my iPod I can see my audiobooks in the audiobook folder but as soon as I play any music the audiobooks disappears from that folder but can still be seen from artist folder.
    This only happens if I play music from the artist folder not from if played from songs, album or genres folders...
    It's really irritating since I want to be able to switch from listing to music to audiobooks without looking up the author everytime!
    Anybody know about a fix to this problem?
    Thanks!

    This could be your iPod is having an internal software problem. A restore through iTunes may fix this.

  • Purchased Music disappear from iphone and i must download it again.

    I purchased Music from itunes in my iphone. After 3-4 it disappear from iphone. I always must download it from itunes. Help Me Please.

    Iphone 5 ios 8.1.1 Thanks.

    Not long ago my wife signed on to my Apple ID so she could get some of my songs. Maybe that has something to do with it? I double checked that my apple ID was the one that purchased the songs and is the current ID signed on to my phone. Also, just to see if it made any difference. I signed out of my ID and signed back in, now all of the songs that were listed and needing to be downloaded are gone completely. I went to iTunes and they are showing as purchased but not able to download. any suggestions?

  • Some notes disappeared from iphone, and others are not synchronizing on ipad, mac, and iphone. What to do?

    Some notes disappeared from iphone, and others are not synchronizing on ipad, mac, and iphone. What to do?

    Hi, MPiaM.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer.  However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • Exchange Calendar Events Disappearing from iPhone after Editing

    iPhone 6 running iOS8.
    Exchange calendar events are disappearing from iPhone right after I edit them from my phone. But they are still visible on my MacBook in Outlook.
    It used to happen very rarely but lately it has been happening very frequently. Haven't been able to find a pattern and re-create it.
    Tried searching online for this issue. Found quite a few threads about calendar sync issues, including the GMT bug but haven't been able to find this exact issue that I have been facing.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem and it has nothing to do with filing or moving emails,  for instance just before I logged in here to find a solution for the problem, I had just received and email on my iPad.  I was reading it then clicked on a link.  When I finished reading the link In Safari  and went back to the email, it was gone.   I have replied to an email then come back to it and it was gone.  This had nothing to do with viewing the email on a ore device.  This is a real problem I have asked about before and no one seems to know the answer.

  • ITunes Movie Rentals disappear from iPhone a day after transfer from Mac

    OK, this has happened to me twice now. Here's the scenario:
    I have a long, international flight. I rent multiple movies so that I can have films to watch both to and from the destination.
    I browse for the movies on my Mac (OS X Lion, current release)
    I rent four movies on my Mac.
    I then transfer them, one at a time, to my iPhone--a 4S with 5.0.1. (I do this because in earlier releases, a movie would sometimes disappear if I tried to sync more than one movie at a time).
    After it's done, I see four movies listed on myiPhone in the Videos app.
    About 2 days later, I look at iTunes and decide to load some audiobooks. I look at the Movies tab and it shows only one rental movie on the iPhone, the last movie transferred. The other three movies are nowhere: they do not show as on the Mac or on the Phone.
    I check the phone. Only the one movie is present.
    At no point did I start to play any of the movies. It appears that the first three rental movies transferred disappeared from the phone as if they expired 24 hours after the transfer.
    And--just to make it fun--this is the second time the exact same scenario has played out. I had a long international flight at the end of September and on iOS 4 the same thing happened before that flight. All but the last movie transferred vanished from the phone after a day.
    Anyone else run into this issue?
    FYI: I have contacted support to see if I can get a credit for the "lost" rentals. But as of now I'm afraid to transfer rented movies to my phone.

    Yep.  Me too. Getting ready to fly overseas. My iTunes on my computer says they are on my iPad, but they aren't. How does that work when I can't 'find them' anywhere on my iPad?
    3 rentals lost.

  • Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

    FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
    Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
    Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
    At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
    Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
    The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name.  Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book.  Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts.  Click Apply and sync your phone.  This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book.  (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

  • How can I stop my emails disappearing from iphone/ipad once I open them on laptop? This is only happening on my 'other' email address which is through Crazydomains?

    I can receive emails to my account (Ive managed to work out how to set them up) but once I then open the email on my laptop through outlook they disappear from my ipad and iphone.  Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

    All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!
    Message was edited by: KkAaTt

    When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
    Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
    When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.

  • Video clapboard disappeared from iphone 3gs

    my video clapboard has disappeared from my iphone 3gs evne though i have videos & movies saved there

    You should sync often so that you do not lose anything.
    Anything that was purchased on iphone after your last sync is likely gone.
    You can redonwoad apps:

    You can e-mail itunes support and ask for an exception to the one download rule for the music.

  • Previously synched audiobook disappears from IPod

    I downloaded an audiobook purchased from Audible through Amazon last year. At that time I synched it to my IPod. Now it has disappeared from the IPod, but still shows up in ITunes. How do I get it to sync again? I tried syncing only what was checked and being sure that the audiobook was checked, but it still didn't sync although my checked music, podcasts, etc. did. What else should I try?
    Thanks.

    Yeah I'm running into the exact same frustration. It seems like iTunes keeps losing authorization to play my audible book (despite me giving it a user name and password) and at first, it synchs as expected. But then, several synchs later, it seems to deauthorize itself and although the book is still in the audiobooks library it removes itself from my iPod Touch. At least, until I click on the book in iTunes and, again, authorize this computer again. Frustrating, to say the least - maybe someday the book will actually be on my iPod when I plan on listening to it?

  • Why does image keeps disappearing from iphone 6 signature?

  • Appointments disappearing from iPhone

    I just missed an important appointment today because the appointment disappeared from my iPhone, which is what I use to check my schedule. After learning that I missed the appointment, I checked iCal and mobileme through Safari, and the appointment still appeared in both of those calendars. I hit the sync now button on my MacBook Pro several times trying to sync my various calendars, but the appointment still does not appear on my iPhone (although it is still in all the other calendars).
    Mobileme is truly worthless if it will not sync properly, and worse yet if it deletes appointments without warning from the device onto which they were initially entered. Is this service ever going to work properly. Has anyone else experienced this particular problem?

    I've been having this problem. I have done the "reset sync history" thing and also replaced my data a bunch of times. The problem is I keep having to reenter information! The fact that I will add an event on my iPhone and then I'll make a call or do something else and when I return to the calendar it appears that either that event is deleted when the the phone and MM "pushed" the data.
    For example, an hour ago I added 2 new events on my iPhone calendar and moved the date of 2. I even let the calendar program stay open for a few minutes to make sure that is "pushed" the data without any interruptions. I then returned to my calendar 15 minutes later to check to see if everything stuck and it was all still there. I then checked it an hour later and all of the data returned to how it was RIGHT BEFORE I CHANGED EVERYTHING! I can't afford in my business to miss the meetings that I have entered or to lose the information that I enter!
    I honestly think that there is no solution for this right now, because MM is so unstable. There is no option out there that let's me designate which device should overwrite the others. There should be an option to set iPhone>MM>iCal or however I want to set it. Otherwise MM will just decide to overwrite my iPhone data whenever it wants.... who can afford that in the business world?
    Also, It is resetting my "default calendar" every time this syncing problem happens... this makes me think that my calendar on the iPhone is crashing and not pushing the data immediately. Then when it resets on the iPhone it reloads some old data from the MM servers that SHOULD have been replaced hours ago but wasn't.

  • All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

    I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
    I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
    I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
    Has anyone else experience this?
    Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.
