IPhone 5S - 1 song keeps disappearing...

So, I have two playlists synced, and on song keeps disappearing from these playlists!?
I keep having to go back to the Store, buy it,(of course it tells me I already bought it and it asks if I want to download it again, i do), and then by the next morning it's gone again! This happens with 1 song. Everything else is still there.
Thoughts?
Thank you.

Did you restore from backup, or as a new device?  Restoring from backup just restores the same corrupt software back to the phone.  Restore as a new device and don't use any backup at all.

  • AARGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!  Songs Keep Disappearing!!!

    I just lost another 450 songs. I have everything backed up, but every time I open i-Tunes, these little "!" marks randomly appear on songs, and those songs have disappeared. I have had to re-load over 1,000 songs lately becaue of this. I have re-installed i-Tunes several times, but this keeps happening. What's up?

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible.
    A couple of things occur to me. Do you have any other software that might be reorganising your files? The other thing is you library somehow getting corrupted.
    One thing you could do to investigate is to wait until it next happens. Then make a note of some of the tracks that can't be found.
    Then open iTunes Music Library.xml with WordPad. Use "Find" to look for some missing tracks.
    You should see lines that start <Location>. The contain the paths where iTunes thinks your files are located - the space character is represented by %20.
    It could be a vaild path or even garbage - but it might help workout what is going on.
    In case it is useful, here is a way to collect dead tracks in a playlist where they can be deleted.
    Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
    Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
    Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
    Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
    Live updating not checked –you may not be able to delete the dead tracks if it is checked
    This playlist should contain all the dead tracks

  • ITunes song keep disappearing from iTunes

    Hi,
    A brief explanation. I decided to copy my 6000+ songs from iTunes to an external Smartdisk as a backup. I simply dragged the Itunes library folder from the iMac home icon and saw it copy to the smartdisk and entitled it Itunes Aug 07. Then I went to play my songs in iTunes and none were there at all. They were now all on the smartdisk.
    I dragged the folder back to the iTunes library.
    This took some time, but was unsuccessful as many songs were not imported back to the new iTunes library folder. I am continually confronted with the exclamation mark in the source window and the warning that the original file could not be found and would I like to locate it!
    I tried consolidating all music from the Advanced menu, but this did not work. I still have to open the Aug 07 folder and manually drag songs to the new iTunes library folder. I can play the songs once i have dragged them over, but once the computer has been closed down, many of these recently dragged songs disappear again from itunes with the above explanation and I have to manually drag them back to iTunes.
    The songs involve include those purchased from the Itunes store and songs imported from my Cd collection.
    It is very infuriating as you can imagine and I just have run out of ideas.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance. George UK

    George-
    It sounds like what you need to do is to set up iTunes to store your Music Library on the external drive instead of the main drive (I'm not sure what a SmartDisk is).
    I haven't ever done this myself, but here's an article on how to do it.

  • My songs keep disappearing

    A large # of songs I used to enjoy regularly in Itunes show as not in my library anymore (with a big ! symbol). I go to locate the file and it is literally gone from the Itunes library, even though several subdirectories of folders dedicated to this one song (artist/album) are there.
    I noticed that has happened after upgrades to newer versions of Itunes, and its often an old mp3 file (though not always). Here's the most curious thing:
    When I go back to an external HD and find another copy of the file, I cannot seem to copy it (drag it) into my Itunes folder -- it says I do not have "permissions" to do this -- which is odd. I can add it directly to the library through Itunes, but this defeats the purposes of having on my laptop -- now it seems I have to keep the external HD attached at all times to play and retrieve the old songs. What has happened ?

    When updating/upgrading iTunes it is best to repair permissions before and after the update. Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Have you searched you HD with Spotlight to see if the tunes are there?

  • Itunes songs keep disappearing

    At the top of the menu bar I click add folder to library and find the folder filled with my music. It loads all my music onto Itunes and than I go through it and delete all the songs I do not wish to have and rename all my songs to the right one and than I sync my Ipod to it and my Ipod receives all the right things. Than I close Itunes and reopen it and everything is gone. It's just a black screen with no music. I have done this about 3 times and can't figure out why all my songs get erased and I have to re-import them. If anyone can help that would be awesome!

  • Music and videos keep disappearing off my iPhone

    I have an 16GB iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.3. Seems that either since the last iOS update or iTunes update, music and videos keep disappearing off my iPhone. I'll copy stuff on and now, I'll double check that it's staying on the phone, but the next day, my music or video library will contain 'no content'. I'm not syncing any songs or videos and have 'Manually manage...' checked. I've restarted the iPhone and iTunes. It keeps happening. What I have found is that it seems to happen sometime after the songs or videos are copied onto the phone while the phone is still plugged into my MBP. It doesn't seem, and I may be wrong, to happen when the phone is not plugged in to the Mac. Another issue I've found since the upgrading is that the phone rarely syncs the 'last watched' time on any videos anymore. Any ideas about these issues?

    I have this problem too but movies and music delete a couple days later. I can watch half a movie one day and the next it disappears. I can also load music and listen to it all one day then they disappear in front of my eyes the next. these have all bern downloaded from the cloud on wifi at home.

  • Trying to sync iPhone to pc but keeps getting internal device error on screen, also showing only 4gb size instead of 32gb. Uninstalled iTunes from pc and reloaded. Powered back up and all songs and info still in place. Anyone had this problem before?

    Doublechecking something Emcee. I see you've got Windows 7 x64, so I'm assuming you've got at least 4 GB of RAM. Do you also have an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on that PC? If so, see the following Microsoft document:

  • Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

  • Deleted songs keep downloading when syncing iPhone.

    I download the free iTunes songs and listen to them on the way to work. If I don't like them, I delete them after I've synced my phone at home. I've never had a problem until last week. Now the songs keep downloading again when I sync my phone. I know I can choose to not sync them to the phone, and have done that for now. It's driving me crazy not being able to delete them for good though. Any suggestions?

    Problem solved on another discussion.
    Re: Deleted Song Keeps Reappearing!
    Nov 7, 2011 1:03 PM (in response to Taffam)
    I think I found a solution - at least it worked for me for now.
    I unchecked the song in iTunes and deleted it off the iPhone and off itunes at the same time, whilst being disconnected. With the next sync, the song did not come back. The spell is broken!
    hope it works for you too.

  • My emails keep disappearing from my MacBook Air, my iPhone

    My emails keep disappearing from all devices--MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad as well as our archair Sony VAIO w/Windows XP. We use Comcast, a "POP" account. All settings have been changed to never delete, empty trash after 90 days, etc., per Apple, AT&T and Comcast "techs". To where are they going? Can they be retrieved? Why does this keep happening? How can we prevent this from happening?

    Is there a category for the dissappearing emails? Do they have anything in common? Have you tried refreshing the inbox?
    Another possiblity is that since Macs and iPhones categorize mail a little differently, try going the the "all mail" section. You can find it under your account mail. That is, instead of going to your inbox, you go under there, where is says "accounts" and shows all your accounts, including the icons for each mail service. There should be a group saying "all mail" if you use google. Let me know if you find the disappearing mails.

  • Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

    Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

    The solution is Simple.
    - Goto preferences
    - From there select the 'Devices' tab
    - Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
    Click OK and your problem will be solved.
