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.

    Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
    I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password.  It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

  • Apple Care (and registration) disappeared from Apple Profile

    Seems like Apple is really going down after Steve Jobs departure.
    Been having a lot of issues, this is just one of them.  First, my registered products disappeared from my product list.  When I had to register them again, it says that I am not covered by Apple Care, which I purchased with my laptop.  Now I can't get in touch with Apple for my other problems.
    This is really getting frustrating.  My next product will not be an Apple.

    If it's just a glitch it can be sorted out.  Call up AppleCare, and tell the Advisor that you did have APP registered, but that it got stripped off somehow.
    If you still have the reg #, or the receipt, etc, then they can transfer you over to the Agreement Administration, and get it sorted out for you.

  • Sent emails disappearing from Apple Mail

    Hello, I'm finding that sent emails are disappearing from my sent folder in Apple Mail. I was having this issue with the account's IMAP settings, so I've deleted the account and used the Exchange settings – same issue. It was working fine for a while, and then they've stopped saving in the sent folder altogether.
    If I send emails through webmail, there's no issue.
    Machine / Software –
    OS X 10.10.2 on an iMac 21.5" 3.06Ghz Core i3 with 12GB of RAM

    Have exactly the same problem.
    Sent six emails, without realising they wouldn't get saved in Sent Folder.
    Moreover, i messaged one of the people i sent an email to and he told me the email did not arrive?

  • Drafts are Disappearing from Apple Mail Drafts Folder

    I am using Apple Mail wil my Mobile Me and an IMAP Gmail account.
    I create, save and close a draft and it then disappears from my Drafts folder with no sign of it anywhere. To date I have lost many emails and countless hours of work rewriting emails. This is more than frustrating.
    Is there a way to recover these missing drafts?
    How can I stop this from happening in the future?

    Same issue.
    Any resulotion yet?
    This is happening with my 4S - never was a problem with 3G.

  • Mailbox content disappears in Apple Mail 4.6

    I have an iMac running OSX v 10.6.8 and Apple Mail v 4.6.
    I have multiple email accounts in Mail, all are IMAP accounts through a third party email provider, and all are through the same provider. Everything worked just fine until recently.
    Now, at random, all content from all inboxes but the first does not show. I know the content is there, as I can see it on my iPhone. Also, the mailbox message count (i.e. 35 messages/1 unread) doesn't show as empty; for example when empty it usually shows (0 messages/0 unread), this information is simply blank.
    I can temporarily get my messages to show, by sending myself a blank message from one account to the hidden account, however at random they will disappear again.
    The mailbox is relatively low on content, only a hundred messages or so...I've got others on my other machines with more than 14000 and no issues like this.
    The OSX version cannot be upgraded due to software compatiblity issues that cannot be avoided.
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
    James

    James, try this...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    Open Mail, highlight the affected account, in Mail's Mailbox menu item choose Rebuild, when done restart & see of it's fixed.

  • E-mail disappeared from Apple Mail in Mavericks

    Hello,
    I think I experienced a bug yesterday in Apple Mail (I am running Mac OS X 10.9):
    While organizing my e-mails, I made a new folder in my iCloud account in Apple Mail. Let's call it "Apple". Then I used the search function to find the e-mails (within my iCloud account) with a certain keyword (let's say "Pear") in order to transfer those e-mails to the "Apple" folder.
    I dragged the first "Pear" conversation into the "Apple" folder. The conversation then disappeared briefly from the search results. At that moment I wanted to select the second "Pear" conversation, but in the meantime the first "Pear" conversation had been processed in the "Apple" folder and reappeared in the search results.
    So I accidentally clicked again on the first "Pear" conversation and dragged it again to the "Apple" folder (even though it was already filed there) and at that moment the whole conversation disappeared. I did not manage to retrieve the messages from this conversation thereafter. I looked for them with Spotlight, in the trash, I restarted Apple Mail... Then I tried to rescue them from my iPhone but the disappearance had already synchronized to iCloud and deleted them from my phone as well.
    As they are all recent messages I can't retrieve them from my Time Machine, as I only backup once a week. Furthermore, I was able to reproduce the behavior on other e-mails by using the search function and dragging an e-mail to its own folder again.
    Can anyone else reproduce this?
    And does anyone know how to proceed in order to retrieve the e-mails? They were not yet on my Time Machine as they are all very recent e-mails, but they are replies to my wedding save the date message so would like them back very much....
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm practically Amish when it comes to this stuff so I'm limited to opening and deleting (I've got a ton of e mails in my deleted account and its not there either.
    Thank you for the input

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Trash Folder has disappeared from Apple Mail.

    I had to boot into Windows - saw lots of old messages in Inbox
    of Outlook Express so I deleted them. Ooops - they were sitting
    on the MobilMe server. Now I don't even have a Trash folder over
    on Apple Mail in either Tiger or Snow Leopard (2 Macs). How can

    Is this account POP or IMAP?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index

    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

  • Photos disappearing from apple tv main menu

    I have two apple tvs connected to one itunes via apple n wireless. Works well with the exception that the "photos" selection on the apple tv main menu disappears and i have to unplug the apple tv to get it to come back?? I have enough room on the disk and when i make changes i use the apply function - it still disappears on both apple tv's. By the way i have tons of extra space on one of them as it now has a 120GB drive - very cool.
    Please help

    If you connect to your computer in 'Streaming mode' then you will not see the photos menu item as you can't stream photos.
    Just make sure that when you want to access your photos that you are using the Apple TV as the source (Go to the main menu, select Settings, then sources and select the Apple TV and not your computer)

  • 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

  • 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.
       -Paul in Boston

    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 Purchased from Apple TV Not Transferable?

    Hi. First, I'm a newbie to these discussions.
    Second, I recently purchased some content through the iTunes store on my Apple TV. The content shows up in my purchase history but is not available for download to my laptop. This seems strange to me as content purchased on my iPhone is transferable and is able to sync.
    QUESTION: Is this a known bug and/or how can I resolve?
    Thanks,
    DANNY

    Thanks Alley Cat. Still no go on my end. When I right click on the Apple TV icon in iTunes it only gives me "Turn off streaming" as an option.
    Is this a streaming library only - I'm not sure if purchases only sync back to a synced library - when I right click on my AppleTV it says 'turn off syncing' not 'turn off streaming' in the options.
    Beware os setting up a new streaming library at this stage as it might wipe your AppleTV clean of purchases - this would clearly be a stupid software feature.
    AppleTV really needs a foolproof drag and drop to get purchases on your computer to backup.

  • 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.
