Single playlist deleted after imatch sync

Recently added a playlist and split one playlist into 2 then updated imatch. one playlist was deleted. restored that playlist manually song by song and updated again and then one of the split playlists was gone. Is there a limit to the number of playlists? What's going on?

i don't think there is a limit to number of playlists for itunes match. I'm actually pretty certain on that, according to this link / http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914
however, that doesn't sound good. i tried to find a fix for you, and came across this apple discussion which was solved. maybe the same solution will work for you / https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3496092

Email Deletes After iTunes Sync, WHY!!?? 3GS OS 3.1.3

Why does my email in my POP3 account inbox delete after/during sync with iTunes?

It shouldn't. Email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iTunes sync process.
Do you have the email account selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer the email account settings from your computer to your iPhone? If so, this only needs to be done once and can be deselected after the email account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone.
If selected, deselect this followed by selecting apply to see if this makes any difference.

Keeping my itunes playlist order after I sync to iPod Nano 7th Gen

So I created a playlist but I am having trouble keeping the order of songs after I sync. I have tried rating them as well but as soon as I sync, Alphabetical order is what I get. Any thoughts?

In iTunes, go to your playlist. On the playlist, click on its column header row at the far left end, above the column with sequential numbers below. That sorts the playlist by playlist order, and you can change the song order by dragging songs around on the list. You may have done this already.
If you sync this playlist to the iPod, it should appear in that order on the iPod.
If it does not, you may not be looking at the playlist on the iPod. If you select the list of All Songs on the iPod, it will be in alphabetical order. Even if you only have one playlist synced to the iPod, the All Songs list is not the playlist. If you select the playlist on the iPod, it should be in playlist order.

How can I retrieve all the CONTACTS that were deleted after the sync of iphone to Mac?

After I backed up my iphone onto my Mac computer I was asked If I wanted to save the photos from my phone. I said DELETE. Then I discovered my address and phone numbers (CONTACTS) went empty in the iphone. How can I reverse my DELETE and get these Contacts back to the iphone?

iCloud maintains a database of your contacts which it uses to keep all devices and computers connected to the same iCloud account in sync. If you ever wonder whether you've lost contacts because they do not appear on a device or mac/pc, you should log into iCloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the Contacts page. You should find your contacts there. If there but they do not appear on your device, see below for instructions. If they are not there, then for one reason or another, they have been deleted. See below for options if this is the case.
Getting contacts from iCloud to a device.
Your device/computer needs to be connected to the proper account in iCloud and have contacts set for syncing. Go to Settings>iCloud (for a device) or System Preferences>iCloud (for a mac - can't help you with a PC, but hopefully you'll know where to go). Be sure iCloud is turn on and that you have the right account. If you need to change the account, scroll to bottom of screen (device) and tap Delete Account. Find a similar button on a mac. This will not delete data from iCloud, it only disconnects the device/mac from the current account. Then enter ID/password for the correct account. Next, be sure Contacts is turned on. [If it has been turned on, try turning off and then back on. If still not working, disconnect from iCloud and connect again.] You should get your contacts back.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

All contacts deleted after last sync

After the first sync since I got the new 2.0 update on my iPhone last week, suddenly all my Contacts were gone!! I checked, and the reason was that for some "God knows why" the Address Book of my Mac had lost all of the contacts too. I have got Entourage as well, which is synchronized with the Address Book (had it like that for more than a year, and worked fine, always "syncing" fine between them and with the iPhone). I checked that all the right options, buttons were correctly clicked and still nothing. Restarted the Mac again and the same. Fortunately, I managed to export into a text file the contacts from Entourage and import the txt file to the Address Book and after 5 mins, fine. I have synched my iPhone now and it has got the contacts back again, although I have lost the customizing, like photos for each contact, ringing tone, etc...
What has happened!!
Hopefully is nothing to do with Apple trying to push the MobileMe or something!!!
Has this happened to somebody else too??

Golly, you've been a contributor here for a while now, so surely you know that this is a user-to-user community, not a place to YELL at your carrier or BB. I realize you are upset, but YELLING at the kind volunteers who might want to help you may not result in them wanting to help you (if you want help...your post is more of a commentary than a request for help).
Good luck.

Playlists deleted after connected to itunes [HELP PLZ]

Hi,
Since a few weeks i'm having trouble with playlists.
When i'm comparing a playlist on my ipod-touch (3rd gen, 32GB) it all works fine, the playlist is saved etc.
But when i connect the ipod to itunes, the playlists i made on the ipod are gone, and changes to playlists on my ipod are reset.
(Playlists created in itunes are fine)
What can the problem be?
(i am NOT synchronizing music or anything.. It's all manually set)

Wow, that's exactly what's been happening to me... like word for word lol. Windows 7, iPod Touch 3rd gen 32 GB, set to manual sync. So far it seems like iTunes always overwrites the playlists on the iPod with the ones on iTunes.

Can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer. Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating. If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists. You can always see if the following is of any use:

Genre field deleted after syncing

Hi
after syncing my ipod with my music library i discovered the genre field in itunes was blank. this has never happened before in all the years that i have been using itunes. i have several playlists which are based on this category. i have over 2500 tunes in my library so as you can see, to restore this category would be quite time consuming for me. has this happened to anyone else out there, and is there an easier solution? please email any responses to me at [email protected]
thanx.

My sister had this problem before with her first gen Nano. Macs format the iPod after a sync differently than PCs do.
This is typical and expected behavior because when you hooked it up to the PC, it had to reformat the iPod.

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

E-Mail and Podcasts deleted after sync

Recently all of my older e-mails and podcasts (unlistened to) were automatically deleted after syncing my iPhone to iTunes. All podcasts were set to keep all episodes, so there should be no reason for this. Anyone have any ideas?

Go to the Messages application. Hit the menu key and select Options. Select General Options. Scroll down to where it says "Keep Messages" and set as desired.

Will iPhoto Photostream photographs delete after 1000 have been synced?

Does anyone know if the Photostream photographs added to my iPhoto library on my Mac will be automatically be deleted after 1000 have been added? Do I need to move them from the monthly Photostream event for them to be retained? At the moment I can see photographs going back to last September in the relevant Photostream events but I've not yet had 1000 photos added via Photostream. I read in a Mac magazine that you need to move them out of the Photostream event to a photographs event so that they don't get deleted. Is that right?
Thanks
Brian

Launch Image Capture from your applications folder, connect your phone, highlight all the pics in your camera roll you want to delete, hit the delete key.

I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music). I checked it on the list to sync, along with all my other playlists but when I Apply it and Sync it, the Christmas Music Playlist does not show up. It showed up one time with only 2 of 238 songs. Then it showed up with the music in the iCloud, but would only play 3 songs and would skip through a bunch of songs ending up on only those 3 songs. I can't tell you how many times I have "Synced" my phone trying to get the Christmas Playlist to show up. I changed the name, deleted the playlist and reinstalled it, deleted it on the phone and tried to reinstall it on the phone manually. Can't get it to work. Christmas will be over and I will not be able to listen to my music. THX, Lynn

Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck.

How can I delete my iMatch account and revert my iTunes back the way it was?

I am having many issues with iMatch and want to delete my account and remove all of my music from the cloud.
Here are the issues:
1. My playlists are filled with "error" songs that cause playback to skip multiple numbers at a time.
2. When I sign off of iMatch and try and repopulate my playlists with songs imported from CD's I recieve a message that says " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your icloud library.
* This error message occurs even when I am signed-out of iMatch.
3. There are many songs completley missing from playlists, and none of my playlists were Smart.
4. When I try and restore my playlists I get the same error messgae over and over.
5. If I turn iMatch back on, all of the numbers get classified as "error" and the whole thing starts again.
I have over 25,000 songs and this is a gigantic mess.
Can someone please tell me how to compeltley remove all of my music from the icloud while leaving it on my computer? This includes all playlists?
Can someone please tell me how to delete/remove the connection with my itunes account and the icloud?
I am not asking for a refund, just a return to the way things were before I foolishly bought iMatch.
Thanks
David

Michael,
Thanks for your tip and response. I tried everything. I spoke with support for about 50 minutes the same day I posted. They informed me that even though I might have iMatch switched off, all of my playlists on my iMac have been designated as iCloud playlists. This is why I was getting the iCloud error message everytime I changed a previously iCloud-ed playlist. If I turn iMatch back on, these error codes go away because the playlist is automatically re-synced with the duplicate lists in the iCloud.
The support team suggested deleting my entire library from the cloud but did not have a procedure in place for this. Individual song deletions are listed in an Apple support document, but this procedure will delete the song from your hard disk as well.
So I went to work, re-organized all my playlists with iMatch off and received 100's of error codes in the processes. I found upwards of 200 (out of 25,000) songs that had been corrupted by the iMatch process and were now non-playable MPEG's. I have no clue how this happed becasue on my devices they are AAC files.
Long story short: Apple Service sent me a very apologetic letter, deleted my entire iCloud library and refunded all of my money.
The iMatch expereince for me was a complete disaster however, I must commend Apple for their prompt response and service.
