Issue with songs disappearing

I have a laptop for both home and work use. I use iTunes on it to add songs to my iPod. So far so good. The problem is that I have a server at home that I keep all my music on and when I come to the office, where my server is no longer available, iTunes automatically removes over 50% of the songs from my iPod. They still appear in the iTunes library but my pod only contains about half of them. Any ideas how to stop this from happening? I resynced my iPod last night after a complete restore and verified that all my music was there. I come into the office this morning, add a new song from my laptop and bang, 50% of my songs dissappear.

Are 50% of your songs from the iTunes Store? If that machine at work isn't authorized to play them, when you synch up there it'll knock them all off of the iPod while it's at it. If that's the case, open a purchased song on that computer to authorize it.

  • Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    I too am experiencing this on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to 4.3.3. I am fairly convinced that it is a software issue. The last update seems jumpy. There appear to be more pauses and stuttering with screen changes too.  Sometime the button operates perfectely (even with repeated light touches). Other times, it doesn't matter how hard I press; it takes several presses. I notice it more when i am using a battery case or connected to an AT&T MicroCell. I am having a hard time pinpointing problematic apps, although i suspect that mail with my work Exchange account may be a culprit. I suggest posting your issues on Apple's iPhone feedback page, www.apple.com/feedback/iPhone.html, to ensure that they are looking into this problem. If it is a hardware issue, I'll be pretty upset as I received my iPhone 4 on day 1 of availability and it is out of warranty. Hoping for a fix with an update. Please post on the feedback page.

  • My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

    My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?

  • Issues with songs/older NI AU settings after upgrading logic and NI AU

    Hi All,
    I'm digging around the net for this, but thought I'd ask you all.
    I have older songs created with Logic 7 on a PPC with Absynth 3. I have since upgraded to an Intel and Logic 8.02 and also have upgraded to Absynth 4. When I open this older song, all is well except it attempts to load the older version of Absynth (3) and fails. The real issue for me here is that I have settings created on the Absynth 3 inst that I need to re-create the older song with the newer code. Is there a way to load the song to use the newer versions of third party software with the settings used when created on an older version?
    Maybe some import process?
    Thanks!!!
    Tad

    No. As far as the application goes, Absynth 3 is a totally different plugin than Absynth 3. If you have saved your presets into a new file, then Absynth 4 is likely able to read from there.

  • Anybody else have an issue with actions disappearing and having to reinstall ALL of them?

    Every few weeks, my actions disappear from Photoshop and I have to reinstall ALL of them? Anybody else have this issue?

    I have occasionally lost data connectivity when I leave my house and have to flip airplane mode on then off to restore it.  Otherwise I'm not near large crowds to see if I have any connectivity issues.
    Do you know if you have the Portico update?  Go to Settings > About and tap on more info.  See what the OS version is.  Portico is 8.0.10211.204.
    Just want to see if its a build issue and may be non-Portico devices are having reception problems when it come to crowd density....
    Also give Nokia a call, they would be interested in this issue and would tell you if its definitely a phone issue or OS.  You can also post to their community and see if anyone else has some answers, http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/bd-p/Nokia_with_Windows_Phone

  • Issues with a disappearing stroke.

    Anyone else ever have this problem?
    The stroke does "highlight" if i draw a marquee around it
    so in theory, it still "exists"
    Transparency... set to 100 percent black.
    stroke fill color.. on
    stroke width... 1-2 pts
    layer...topmost layer
    What could be the problem?
    It just disappeared by itself and I can't get it back!
    HELP!!

    Strokes don't "highlight" when you select them -- objects do. So I'm a bit unsure about what you're seeing, or what the problem is. What color do you have your stroke set to? Have you applied any transparency blend modes? What does the Appearance panel say when you select the object with the missing stroke?

  • I'm having an issue with songs cutting off before finishing and jumping to the next one. Even on my old ipod where there were never any problems before. They play fine on my computer? how can I fix this without spending a fortune replacing all these songs

    I got this new Ipod for christmas,& I started importing songs before it was fully charged. I thought thast caused the problem till I added new songs to the old one. Then it started doing the same thing. The old one never had this problem. Even one of the new songs I just bought stops 15 seconds in then jumps to the next song. I can't afford to replace them all.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Syncing Issues with songs downloaded direct to my device

    I have an ipod touch and have been downloading songs and apps directly to the device. Last night, I connected my ipod to the computer which houses my iTunes library. I downloaded an app (Currency Converter) an album and one single. Not only did none of the new dowloads get added to the device, any songs I downloaded direct to my iPod were added to my itunes library, but removed from the device itself. Additionally, when it was "syncing," it froze and said "Copying CodeBreaker." Some research shows that this may refer to an Oxford Translator I downloaded from iTunes ... but now i can't get my ipod to sync and I've lost over 120 songs that were previously on my ipod and are now being held hostage in my library. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I can do to get my ipod to actually sync and give me back my music??

  • Hyperion Financial Reports Issue with POV disappearing

    Hi
    We have Essbase reports that have been in production for quite some time. Just recently when users run the reports some users (not all) do not get the full POV selection. This is happening with different reports and different users so we have not found anything that anyone has in common. Has anyone experienced something like this? We are on version 9.3.1.3.

    Have you tried after installing latest patch 11.1.2.1.127

  • Issue with songs downloaded from iTunes

    Hello, I've downloaded all of my music from iTunes however, it seems that a lot of my songs no longer work. They come up in my playlist when I suffle my songs but they just get skipped over and when I try selecting them individually, nothing happens. Also, when I shuffle my music, the image and song title will come up but it will be an entirely different song playing. Does anyone know why this happens? This has been happening since March.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

    Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
    The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
    At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
    I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
    Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
    Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
    So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
    Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
    Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

    Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

        Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper.
