Content disappeared from playlists

After the most recent iTunes update (v12.0.1), all of my playlists are empty. The songs still exist in the iTunes library,
and the playlists themselves are still there. I'd hate to have to manually rebuild all of these. (years worth!)
Does anyone know of a way around this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

I have this or a similar problem. In my iTunes Library all of the content is there. My playlists are there as well (so I've not the exact same problem as mojobone), but they have been removed from my iPad. After two iPad restores it is still not done. I have noted that there seems some sort of interaction with the Home share option and the iTunes Match.  I cannot create a playlist on my iPad either. I've upgraded the iPad to 8.1.1, and based on this effect I'm not upgrading my iPhone. I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26

  • Content disappearing from Apple TV

    I am running the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro and syncing this with Apple TV (also fully updated). I have noticed that purchased content disappears from the Apple TV, and in some cases, from the MacBook. For example, I have purchase a season of Stargate Atlantis, downloaded and successfully synced, but then the following day episodes 3 and 5 will be missing from iTunes and Apple TV. They still exist in the backup (within the music library under "TV Shows," but what gives? Why so buggy? Thanks in advance for any comments!!

    Well nothing should ever disappear from iTunes, but for the AppleTV. Syncing doesn't really mean all content will always be there. It will sync, Movies, then TV, Music, then Photos in that order. If more spaces is needed for lets say a Movie, it will pull off photos, music, then TV shows in that priority order. The AppleTV I believe is going to try to save room on itself never knowing when you may download a rental or new content from the online store via the AppleTV. It will sync back content if there is room, if not then it will leave it on your computer and then stream when needed. Synced content just allows for faster access and access when computer is not on.

  • Songs disappear from playlist once in a while but are still in library

    Every now and again I notice that a song has disappeared from a playlist. I can copy it back to the playlist from the music library. But what makes the song drop from the playlist? It's either a song I purchased from iTunes or one I imported from cd. Doesn't matter.

    Not a Sony Vaio. I have one of the first iPods. It was a gift. It's not that songs disappear from the playlist in the iPod, but from playlists on the computer. They are in the music library and I have to copy and paste them back into the playlist I want them in. I haven't lost any from the music library, fortunately.
    The playlists (I have a bunch of them) are blue with a music note. The songs in the playlists have checkmarks next to them, and are all checked. They just drop out of a playlist every now and again and I have to copy it back in. I can go for a while and think "hey, I haven't heard X in a long time". And sure enough it's dropped from the playlist in the computer, and I have to copy it back in from the library, then resynch the iPod. Really weird and mildly annoying.

  • Music disappearing from playlists after sync with itunes?

    So I have a bunch of songs that I ripped from CDs or got the MP3 files from friends. I add some of them to a playlist, that's fine. But when I purchase a few songs from iTunes on my phone and add them to the playlist, they appear there temporarily. The problem happens when I sync my phone with iTunes, then all of my purchased music disappears from the playlist. It's still on my phone, but not in the playlist. Why does it do this, and how do I fix it? This is really discouraging me from using iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    its in the name

    only syncs photos but u can click and drag to itunes then sync

  • Content disappearing from MUSD on project load...

    I have a student working in MUSE on a class project.  She loads her project file, and the content is visible in thumbnail view.  As the project loads, however, all content (including embedded images) disappear completely.  So far, searches have not yielded any useful information. Any thoughts from the community?

  • Music disappear from playlists

    Hi everybody.
    I don't actualy remeber when it starts to happen, but some songs form different purchased playlists dissapear from my iPhone 5s.
    I can  go to Music store and download it again but next time I'm loosing different content.
    Does anybody know how to stop this?

    That means they are still in the cloud.
    You can download them onto your iPhone right in the Music app
    you can leave them in the cloud and ply (when internet connection)
    if you don't want to see them, you can set "show all music" off.

  • Encore Content disappeared from Library

    I am using Encore CS6 from Creative Cloud and fought downloading the content, but managed to get it downloaded and stored in the proper place.  When I went into Encore and pointed the Media library to the my location of all of the extracted files, it was working fine.  Although I did not have the ability to search by the individual sets (General, Corporation, etc), the menu selections were all there as well as all the buttons and other content.
    I made a menu and thought it done correctly, but discovered that I did not do it properly, so I deleted and started over.  Well now ALL the content is missing in the library.  I checked the preferences and it is looking in the right folder and the folder still has all the library content, but Encore doesn't show any of the Library content.
    In looking though many threads on this topic, it goes back a long way with a ton of problems, mostly just trying to get the content downloaded.  I thought I was home free, but it disappeared completely.  It seems that I pay a lot of money monthly for Creative Cloud and it seems this tyoe of problem should not be happening (for anybody usign ENcore CS6), especially Creative Cloud members.
    Can someone please help??

    Stan,
    Thanks for your response.  When I downloaded the zip file with the content, it said I could put it any folder and then go into the preferences option and then pick that folder for the media to appear.  I created a "Media Download" folder and extracted all the content into that folder.  It did work, but without the specific folders for General, etc.  I can understand that because the folders were not in that folder.  I guess I was hoping that the folders would have been created and filled.  No such luck. 
    I have been playing around after seeing your reply above.  I copied the "Set" folders from the "Library" into my "Media Download" folder and then moved some of the menus into the folders to see if it would work.  I was having trouble, but I think I finally got some of the new menus to show up from my Media Folder.  I was able to click on one of the new menus and it opened in Encore.  But no buttons show up from Media folder.  They are in the actual folder, but are not showing up in Encore.  The first time I got it to work, I saw all the buttons, and other content as I was supposed to.  Then all of sudden a little later, everything disappeared.  I could not read the text in your screen shot to see if there was other content (buttons, BG, etc) inside the specific folder.
    I have a project I need to finish up soon and if I just open the button by clicking a button from the folder into Photoshop and place on one of my menus.  Will the it actually function as a button (as long as I "wire" it up properly)?
    By the way, I am not able to extract the content into the Library function.  I did copy the downloaded zip file into the Library folder and tried to extract the contents.  I got an error that said  " '0  CRC failed in 'en-US.7z'. File is broken."  I tried to extract it with 7-Zip.  That was the same app I used when I was able to extract the first time.

  • Songs disappearing from playlist when I plug iPhone in to my PC/iTunes

    I'm not sure if iPhone or iTunes is the problem as they both recently died about 3 weeks ago. My phone died so I took it to Apple and they swapped me out for a new one. When I got home to install the latest back up, I realized I had no music in my iTunes account. Strange! So I have reinstalled all of my music, but now whenever I plug my phone in to my PC and iTunes is open, it erases several songs from my playlist on my phone. The song is still on my phone, just not in the playlist. It's a complete pain in the You Know What to set up a play list in a specific order, so I'm starting to get a little irritated. I am not sure why this is happening. And why only some songs? Is there a glitch in the new iTunes version?  Could something be wrong with my new phone? Or the new update I just did on my phone yesterday? Please help....

    Perhaps this will help:

  • Sync content disappearing from iphone

    I had sync my music, purchase videos and some dvd movies onto my iPone yesteray. I even play some for friends that wanted to see a movie demo.
    Tonight I was out with friends and they wanted to see the movie play on the iPhone. When I tried to select a video the iPhone said 'no vidoes' message and same for music. All the music and videos content I had sync the previous day was gone from the phone.
    All the content is alive an well on my desktop and resyncing did not push it back to my phone.
    I then tried de-selecting all the music and video to remove the content from the phone, then reselect and resync.
    iTunes shows the content being pushed back to the phone in it's display. But no content is showing up on iphone. It shows 'no music' or 'no videos' on the display of the iphone.
    So know what do I do to get them back on the iPhone?
    the only thing that is ok, my contacts and iphotos stay intact.
    thanks

    ok, very strange
    I rest my iphone (reboot it) and the videos and music are now showing up.
    another bug?
    thanks

  • My songs are disappearing from playlists

    Hello All, I have a razr maxx with jb. used to use moto music, and really only started using google play music recently..There is also another post from a razr user with the same problem as well, and heres mine in the maxx forum. I also saw a s3 user with the problem too.
    I had a playlist of songs that i had purchased on itunes and 1 song purchased from google play that I downloaded to my phone and added to the playlist later.  In the beginning google play read the playlist fine, but soon after, the playlist was empty with the exception of the one song from google play.  After this happened, I took the time to create a new playlist on my phone adding the same songs and again, a day or 2 later the playlist only had the one song from google play in it. 
    I can still see the original playlists in motocast, but thats my original playlist from itunes without the song from google play.. At first I'm thinking it may be google play music and motocast not playing nicely, but then that wouldn't explain the fact that when I created a new playlist on the phone and the same thing happened..
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    This is incredibly frustrating.  I've searched the web and cannot find a solution.

  • My iCloud icon and content disappeared from my desktop!

    PLease help -- it contains 4 years of lesson plans!

    I realize now that you referred to an iDisk, what I can't understand is what you did with it, you can't upload files to iCloud except from an Application (usually Apple application). Unless you have installed some 3rd party utility it is not possible to do what you described and I can't tell where your files are.
    If you can remember a file name that was included in that store search for it with Spotlight.

  • Content disappears once Lifetime (Time-Based Publishing) is enabled

    We have transported KM content from our Dev KM to our QA KM.  We noticed that the Lifetime setting of the folder was not transported, so we enabled it on the folder in QA.  Once the lifetime is enabled in QA, the content disappears from the iView display.  On our Dev KM, it is working correctly.
    We checked the content and each has Valid-to and Valid-from fields set the same as it is in Dev.  They should be displaying as they do in Dev.
    The transport was done first using online ICE.  When that did not work we did it again using offline ICE, transporting a .zip file from Dev to QA.
    Any ideas as to what might be happening?
    Both QA and Dev are EP 7.0 SPS 11.

    Hi,
    If you transported the KM files with ICE, then the Application-Defined Properties
    such as Valid From and Valid Until for time-dependent publishing are not transported due to limitations in ICE transport.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
