Downloaded songs are deleted

hi,
i have an iPhone 5s.
I recently downloaded ios8 by plugging my phone into a computer and installed from there. Update went fine and all my music was restored from a sync on the computer pre installing ios8.
This was the first time I've synced it for a long time.
since this time, when I download a new song on the phone, it's deleted within a week or so.
i have turned off the 'prevent iPods & iphones syncing automatically'
but it still happens!!
HELP!

Open itunes, connect iphone, click File>Transfer Purchases

Random songs are deleting themselves every 2 weeks

I have become very frustrated at the fact that certain songs that i have bought from the iTunes store are deleting themselves every 2 weeks or so. I am running off an iPhone 5 on IOS 8.1.3(although the problem has been occurring ever since 8.1.0). I have searched the interweb and found nothing but another user with the exact same problem. Apple really needs to fix this as is becoming a hassle to re-download songs that I bought legitimately.

i am manually downloading these straight to my iPhone.
It's a fine point, but do you mean:
Connecting to iTunes and manually dragging them over to the iPhone?
Manually re-downloading previously purchased songs directly from the iPhone? (e.g. tap the cloud icon)
First purchases, downloaded directly to your iPhone?
It shouldn't matter, but songs shouldn't be mysteriously deleted either. I don't know that one method vs. the other means any particular thing, but in my experience downloading songs directly to the device (the last two choices) can produce quirky results. However, in my experience it's been the opposite problem, where I have a hard time deleting songs I've downloaded directly to the iPhone.
Is there a chance you're deleting the "Purchased" playlist from your iPhone, or clearing its contents? Sorry if I'm grasping at straws here, but I've never had this problem. If you describe some of the habits you do with respect to managing your music, perhaps someone here can spot something.

While backing up iPod Touch, all songs are deleted. How do I get them back?

*I am really confused. REALLY confused. I was downloading a new update for my iPod touch and I go to look at my songs and NONE of them are there. NONE. How do I get them back? I have iTunes downloaded on a couple of computers, so my songs are kind of scattered, but they load onto all computers when I charge. Someone please help me!*

Installing an OS (particularly major updates like iOS 4) sometimes means that your iPod is erased and its up to you to re-load it from whatever sources you used to load it in the first place. So, you cannot retrieve files that we removed from your iPod during the OS installation -- you'll need to go back to each of the computers you loaded music from.

Downloaded files are deleted automaticaly after completion

Every time I download files, they are deleted automatically,except for PDF files, after completion. I have tried e-mail attachments, utility downloads, patches, drivers, etc. with no luck. Help!

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Please help!! Downloaded songs are missing!

The iTunes was closed in some reason while I'm downloading songs.
I've reboot it afterwards and clicked "Check for Available Downloads",
It says "All purchases has been downloaded from this account."
I've been looking through for hundred times,
but i just cant find the songs in the iTunes.
What can i do about it?
thanks for your attention

Normally a purchase is only removed from the download queue when it has been successfully downloaded and installed in your library. Unsuccessful transfers should resume next time you start iTunes and/or remain availible with *Store > Check for Available Downloads*.
It might be work checking the Downloads folder in your iTunes Media folder as well as the folder with the rest of the album tracks in case the files completed downloading but were not added to the library. You could also view your library sorted in Date Added order in case some weird aspect of the tags is making the tracks appear in a different place from the rest of the album.
If you still can't find them use the "Report a problem" link in your account history and explain the issue clearly & politely detailing exactly which tracks you are missing. Normal turnaround for a response is about 48 hours and I would assume they will requeue the missing items.

Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?

I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.

Songs won't transfer, iPod won't acknowledge songs are deleted

I have a second generation shuffle and I've had it for a few years now. It's starting to act up: shuts off randomly even though I didn't touch anything and the battery is charged. Yesterday I tried to add some more music and it sat there for a while before telling me it couldn't add all of the songs because there wasn't enough room but would add as many as possible. It sat there for even longer and once I could look at my iPod playlist, there were no new songs listed. I tried just adding one song and the little arrows would circle like it was transferring, but when I checked there was nothing there. I tried deleted a few songs I didn't want in my iPod anymore thinking it was just still full, but now as I'm listening to it the songs I deleted are playing, even though it recognized that I had deleted them when it was connected to my computer. I don't know if this is the iPod, my iTunes or my computer.
Thank you in advance!

Is the iPod recognized in iTunes? How about My Computer?

Downloaded songs are incomplete

There is no titel missing, but each song breaks up after 1 to 2 minutes.
Where to go to solve the problem ?
By this chance i want to say the appel system related to support their custumers from itunes is quite poor.
No single hotline u can call and emailquestion a supposed to be answerd in 72 hours!
Maybe you can help me

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Had 1800 songs on ipod, connected to computer and all songs are deleted??

I had 1800 songs on my ipod, a friend downloaded them onto it for me. I was installing the itunes disc and plugged the ipod into the computer at the same time and now can not find the songs anywhere... Where did they go, I thought if they weren't on the ipod anymore that they've got to be on my computer somewhere, but I can not find any of them. If anyone knows what I've done please help...

You are aware that this is completely illegal,
right?
Actually, copying music from your friends really falls under Fair Use.
If you apply the four fair use tests:
1. the purpose and character of the use is not for profit (for)
2. the work is published, but creative (against)
3. the amount is probably only certain songs off the album (for)
4. the effect on the market is small (person to person copying is considered to be a minimal effect on the marketplace, whereas sharing with the entire internet is not) (for)
So really, copying your friends music really passes most of the fair use tests. It might be technically illegal, but it's not a case where anybody could actually sue you and win.
Copyright infringement is allowed in certain cases.

Will my mac run correctly if all downloaded files are deleted?

I want to delete all my downloaded files from the download folder. If I do this, will I delete files the computer needs to run? Thanks.

None of the files downloaded are vital to your system running. However if they are files you want to keep then spend a little time organizing. For example if it's an .app then move it to the Applications folder.

Songs are deleted when i connect it to my mac...

hey there.
I've got this problem with a second generation iPod Shuffle: every **** time i connect it to my mac, all the song stored in it get deleted. And yes, i did check "manage songs manually". Notice that i have iTunes 7.1.1...

oh man, yes, that could be it. Actually i don't delete them from my harddrive but i do from my iTunes library, because they are not for me and i don't like to see them in my library. I'll try to keep them in the library and ill let you know, thank you very much.

After iTunes upgrade songs are deleted from iPod

Last night I was prompted to upgrade iTunes, and I complied and did the upgrade. Today when I went to the gym at lunch I noticed that all but 2 of my Exercise playlist songs were gone from the iPod. They still show up on my laptop in iTunes, but they aren't on my iPod anymore. This happened after the software upgrade and nothing else has changed. I agreed to let iTunes be the default multimedia player when I did the upgrade. Also, the iTunes software says "Update complete" but the iPod itself NEVER stops synching up and always has the message "Do not disconnect." I also receive a message saying "Some of the songs were not copied to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." BUT I DID PURCHASE THE SONGS, FROM ITUNES EVEN. ALL THE SONGS STILL SHOW UP IN MY PURCHASED ITUNES FOLDER! So it's the same laptop I've always had, same one I originally loaded the software too and same one that I purchased the songs from, and the same iPod, and yet now when I sync them it says I'm not allowed to have those songs. Please FIX THIS!!!!! It's really irritating to me to have to spend time on this, and even more irritating to me that I had to sign up for TWO NEW ACCOUNTS just to only be able to use a discussion board for technical assistance caused by YOUR SOFTWARE.

If you play a song from your I-Tunes Library that you bought since your update, it should prompt you to reauthorize the computer. After this you will be able to add those songs to your IPOD by clicking update. I think this is a poor design. It took me doing it a few times to figure out what was going on. I-Tunes could be totally user friendly, if first apple would poll users first instead of letting those dipstick progammers have all the input into I-Tunes. I would guess that Apple loses 3 customers for every one gained due to the number of problems they have with each "New" I-Tunes release. But hey Mr. Jobs just tracks profits and sales. Not concerned about the user who can't play his music.

Downloaded songs are gone

I buyed a new pc, so i installed itunes again, being convinced that the songs would still be on my account. Apparently they are not and i can't find them anywhere? :/
What do i have to do to get them back on this system?
Thx

I am sorry to say that is the case, (check here http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/ (i don't know your country). But apple is not responsible for your loss of music whatever the circumstance.
there might be someone here, who if you give enough detailed information might be able to solve your problem.
I'm puzzled though until very recently you can't put itunes purchases on your MP3 player, they are only for your ipod. But if you bought them all recently then thats feasible but if you didn't then its strange.

How do i find all my downloads that are deleted

i don't know what happened. i deleted resent history and when i looked for my downloads and my most visited bookmarks were gone

"Most visited" probably was computed based on history. I'm not aware of any way to "undelete" history. Do you make regular backups of your computer? If so, perhaps you have an older version of places.sqlite, the database file that stores bookmarks and history. Restoring that is a little bit risky, so a fresh backup would be in order first.
With respect to downloads, how were they deleted? Or was it the downloads list (download history) that was deleted?
