WHY do I lose all my playlist etc when adding to my iPod? Do I seriously have to keep everything in iTunes permanently?
Keeping everything in an iTunes library, which you also backup, is the recommended way to deal with things. That way should your device need restoring you can connect to iTunes, restore and reload your content easily. The alternative is to manually manage the device, however should you need to restore it, damage it, or lose it, then you will also have lost the effort involved in ripping and organizing the media that you put onto it, and would need to repeat that process.

HT1386 Why do all my playlists disappear when I plug my iPod Touch Gen 5 into iTunes?
When I plug my iPod touch gen 5 into my MacBook into iTunes (the latest version) using my included USB cord, it deletes all of my playlists on the iPod. Why is this and how can I make it stop?
If you don't have the same playlists on your computer, your iPod will sync to your computer. On your computer,while iPod plugged in, go to the top and push the music button. At the top of the new page, push the button called don't sync music

Most of my songs disappeared. I had 300 some odd songs, and now I only have like 49 songs....I turned my iPod off and unplugged my cord from my laptop and they are still gone. I am so mad right now, because my music is my life. I really need someone to help me please!!
" i thought that my music was backed up on itunes, even music not purchased on itunes. is this correct? "
No. Unless you paid for itunes match service and you uploaded them to this service. -
Why can't I access the playlist button when adding songs to a playlist?
Under iOS 6, when editing a playlist (adding music to it), I had access to the playlist button in order to add all the music from one playlist to another. Under iOS 7, one can only access the song, artist, album, and composer buttons from the Edit/+ screen. So if I want to add 5 songs that I know are together on another playlist, I have to find them again in an alphabetical list? Yikes, a severe downgrade in functionality under ios7. Will this ability return or am I just missing something obvious that should let me do it?
In an effort to go minimalist they went brain-dead. I have a library of over 7,000 songs. I create my playlists through playlists when I am on the go. And I rarely ever create a new playlist at the computer because I rarely even use my computer, much less synch my iphone/itunes manually with it.
And not only did they eliminate the add from playlist feature, you cannot edit an existing playlist while “on the go” - only those created after i0s 7. Also, you can no longer create a playlist by selecting the genre. But wait - you can select the “Composer". Really?! I don't listen to my music by Composer. Whose idea was that. Now am I supposed to reorganize my music library and categorize songs by Composer?
As the other poster said, the "on the go" list is now virtually unusable. Now I have to go to the computer (which I rarely do). They really took the on-the-go/music app back to ipod-2008. Really a huge leap backwards. -
HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???
Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???
What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book. -
Why do I lose all my emails in my ipad inbox when i log on to a new wifi network?
Why do I lose all my emails in my inbox on my idpad when I log on to a new wifi account?
No, changing to a different wifi network has no effect on emails. However, if you disconnect your device from icloud (Settings>icloud) and then connect using a different ID (a different icloud account), then you will lose the emails.
I provided info above for both a wifi connection and icloud connection, since you used the expression, "wifi account" and that is not a correct expression to use. You connect to a wifi router possibly using a password, and connecting to icloud is a totally unrelated thing. -
Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?
why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?
I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
We still don't know what version of Pages.
Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
"ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about. -
I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?
Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -

If you delete icloud off of your iphone, will the ipad that shares the same account lose all imessages, photos, etc?
No.
Just delete the iCloud entry -- do not do the deletion from the content-bearing apps (Photos, Messages, etc.).
Delete from Settings > iCloud only. -
Why does my iCloud email continually stall (hang) when I'm typing a message? I have a 2013 MacBook Pro and I'm running the latest version of Yosemite. This is the first time that I've been absolutely frustrated with an Apple product. Can you help me, please?

How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!
Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files. -
HT203793 Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze?
Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze? I'm not using Match.
Try closing the Music app completely and then reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
In order to close the Muisc app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
