Random purchased songs being deleted from my phone?

I keep noticing a lot of different songs from different albums (purchased from iTunes) keep deleting themselves from my phone? I'm tired of having to go through and redownloading, so how can I solve this? Thanks!

I will try to play a song on my iPhone 5 when suddenly the phone will rapidly shuffle through a bunch of songs and delete them in the process. I will be able to see which songs are deleted because they will be visible in the library with a lighter font and have a "stop" symbol next to them. The songs become unplayable.It is very annoying. Please fix this apple.

HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

Why are random calendar events being deleted from my iphone when I sync it with ical?

My settings are such that events entered on both devices should push to both devices when I sync. The events being deleted from my iphone are not consistent (ie. older than a certain date), they are random.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

Purchase song on iTunes from 5c phone but can't play song on phone or mac

Purchased song on ITunes and entered correct apple id. song downloaded to iPhone 5C. Phone then synced with MacPro laptop on OS Mavericks latest version. This song will not play on phone or laptop. Get Info shows correct Apple ID. Whenever I try to play this song, get message this song is not authorized for this computer. I sign same Apple ID with correct password and get message Computer already authorized. When I click to play on same song again, get same message this song is not authorized for this computer. Song will not play on phone either. Just skips to next available song to play.

What is the exact text of the error dialog?
If I understand you correctly you are saying that you and your wife both use the same MacMini with seperate User Accounts. You each have your own iTunes Store Apple IDs. This could be a problem. One computer can only be associated with an Apple ID once every 90 days. This applies to using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and downloading past purchases. See this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Since you apparently had the MacMini associated to your Apple ID for iTunes Match, if your wife attempted to re-download anything from her purchase history she would have been prompted to associate the computer with her Apple ID, which it sounds like she did. At this time you must wait the 90 days before you may re-associate the MacMini with your Apple ID.

HT4915 If a purchased song is deleted from icloud, will there be a charge for downloading the same song at a future date?

thanks

Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

How to find out what songs I deleted – from a playlist?

Hi all, random question...
I have have been culling music from the "Songs" section my iTunes and sending them to the Trash.
HOWEVER the songs that are on one of my playlists, "My Favorites", I really wanted to keep. There were about 200 songs on the playlist and after I finished culling music, I discovered that I had 180 and had accidentally sent about 20 songs to the Trash that I shouldn't have. Argh.
Is there any way to retrive a copy of that playlist from Time Machine, or something, and see which songs I deleted from that playlist. And then drag those 20 songs back from the Trash? I don't want to drag back all the songs I trashed – just the 20 that were part of that playlist.
Any ideas???

I would also recommend leaving the shot on the iphone untouched (downloaded to a PC is ok). There is EXIF information encoded inside the image that records the iphone's date/time (this is in addition to the file system information that the other poster I beleive is referring to). It is also changeable, though one needs more expertise to do so. The reason I recommend leaving it there is some techniques of getting shots off of cameras (i.e. phones) may remove that info or alter it.
But how does the date/time matter -- clearly the event had occurred, how will a shot after it occurred indicate which came first, your care or her's?

Emails being deleted from my inbox

My iphone mailbox is randomly being deleted from my iphone. My yahoo account on my pc is not affected but I think the deletion may happen when I access my yahoo account on my pc (thankfully its not being deleted here!). I view my yahoo account on my pc via outlook. Can anyone help?

Your PC is set up to access your e-mail using POP3 instead of IMAP. POP3 deletes messages from the server after downloading them by default. Change the e-mail client on your PC to IMAP instead of POP3.
This is not a problem with the phone.

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)

Deleted contacts from my phone & they auto deleted from other phone. How do I get them back?

Just updated my iPhone 4 and my GF's iPhone 4 to the new OS, we share the same Apple ID and subsequently linked both phones to the same iCloud account (I will be using separate clouds from this point forward). However, after the update all of her contacts where in my phone so I deleted all of them and due to the cloud they all deleted from her phone.
So, I have previously backed up (not just synched) her phone to iTunes but I was hoping for clarification on exactly to restore her phone from iTunes and recover all of her contacts. Can you please give me the “dummy” proof steps on how to restore her phone and get her contacts back? Please and thank you in advance.

Issue with emails being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders

Hi, I am experiencing an issue where emails are being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders when the weekly Sunday night purge of the Yahoo Trash folder is carried out by Yahoo. These are mails that have been moved from my inbox via the iphone mail app.
I have a similar problem with Outlook 2010 on my laptop but not with Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
When I move the emails from my inbox I have noticed that using Outlook 2003, the moved email is left in my inbox in "strikethrough" mode whereas on Outlook 2010 it is deleted from my inbox. I subsequently purge the marked email from my inbox in 2003.
I am able to see and access the emails in the folder I have moved them to until after midnight on Sunday when they dissappear. The emails moved via 2003 are ok and not lost.
Funnily enough when using an earlier version of the iphone mail app I remember that I could see emails in "strikethrough" mode in Outlook 2003 when they had been moved via the iPhone mail app but you don't see that now.
It feels like some sort of pointer issue to me ...... any ideas on how to stop this happening?.

This is now fixed !!!! I am not sure how though :-((
I reported the problem to Yahoo and in the process of them investigating the issue my sub-folders suddenly became invisible via my IMAP connection and then also were invisible on-line following a log out and a log in. After my initial panic, I contacted Yahoo who were able to restore my complete account. Since then, the problem has gone away.
I have been testing this for two weeks and all is working perfectly from whatever device I use to connect to my mail (IMAP or via my browser).
Phew!

Still can not get songs to delete from library.....

I have read through the forums..made sure to try every option available..still I can not get songs to delete from library. Help!!

I am assuming you have tried all the obvious ones, delete key, right-click -> delete, Edit -> Delete, etc. Are you getting an error message when you try to delete? Are you just trying to delete from the library or delete the file as well?
