Songs are syncing to phone but some songs not showing in the playlist, you have to manually search for them...

Hi guys,
All music is syncing across from my purchased items to my phone... However, some are missing from the 'purchased' playlist and I can only come across them when scrolling through the 'Artist' or 'Song' menu. I then have to manually add them back to my purchased playlist.
Is there any way to stop this?
I want all my 'purchased' songs in that playlist and then have all of my other music from CDs in their individual ones (which works fine).
This happens for about 5/6 every time and it's a nightmare trying to work out which ones are missing so to speak unless I stumble upon then.
So basically, the songs ARE on the phone but not showing in the playlist, just to make that clear.
Many thanks in advance...

This sounds very similar to an issue that I experienced.  There was a phantom 6G assigned to movies even when no movies were on my iPad.  I could make the phantom 6G come and go by checking/unchecking the "Sync Movies" box in iTunes.
First, try a system reset.  It probably won't fix your problem but it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
There is one other thing that you can try but I don't want to describe it unless the above doesn't help.

  • I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports

    Hi, 
    I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports. The name of the application we use is called MAMA and this application has access to all the reports on the SQL report server. My email is
    [email protected] my cell phone number is 201-888-7952. 
    Thanks. 

    Hi Roger,
    Based on my understanding, you publish a report on the report server. When you access reports with internal application, the report doesn’t display, right?
    In your scenario, since you mentioned you have published the report to report server, please go to report manager, check if you can see the published report and open the report properly. If the published report is displayed on report manager, it should not
    be the issue in Reporting Services. In this scenario, since the MAMA application has established connection with on report server, it may not update items on report server after you publish your report onto report server. So please try to “refresh” in MAMA
    or reconnect the report server. If issue persists, I suggest you contact the MAMA application vendor to get some more effective advices.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

    I understand that it can be frustrating when an application downloaded from the App Store is not behaving as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article for information on troubleshooting apps downloaded from the App Store.

  • I downloaded an ap on my phone, but it does not show up in iTunes

    i downloaded a game on the phone from the ap store, but it does not show up in iTunes...how do i fix that?

    It might not be compatible with the iPad or the iOS version you're running on your iPad (you can check the app store to find out).  You also have to have the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores and have Apps turn to On under Automatic Downloads.

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.

    1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
    2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

  • My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

    My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes says songs are copied to iPod, but they're not there

    I'll preface this by saying I'm a newer iPod user (since March of this year).
    I added a bunch of songs to iTunes tonight on our other computer that has XP. It said the iPod was updated and could be removed from the USB (first time it's ever said that, usually it says "iPod Update Complete" on iTunes, but "Do Not Disconnect" on the iPod). I go to listen to my iPod tonight, and none of the songs I added to iTunes are there -- not one. I'm not sure if this is related, but a couple days ago half of my songs in iTunes had the exclamation point next to them indicating the file was gone; search of the computer turned up nothing (most of the songs I added tonight were the ones lost).
    Is it something I did?

    Hello,
    I am not sure, but please have a try
    f your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC

  • My songs are duplicated i itunes but if i remove one entry, the other won't play anymore...what do i do?

    After my friend transferred my songs to my new laptop, i have installed itunes. First i had 2 or 3 entries of the same song, because i had a music files (mostly
    mp3), and the 2 entries were from Itunes music files. One entry played, the other wouldn't (exclamation point). As i have  a couple thousand songs, i decided to consolidate into Itunes Media, thinking i could then uninstall Itunes, Reinstall it and delete my Itunes music folder.
    But it probably was the wrong way to go. Now I have an Itunes media folder and an Itunes music folder. If i delete one of them from my computer, itunes says it cannot find the track. But the problem is now it takes twice as much space on my computer and last but not least, almost every song is duplicated in Itunes.
    If I delete one of the two entries, the song won't play (exclamation point again). it's like each file of the song exist in his own file, but cannot play if the other version of the song isn't there.
    So i'm stuck with a duplicated list of songs in Itunes and 30 Go of songs on my laptop...<
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    I would guess that if they both point to the same file and you delete one of them, you have deleted the file. Therefore it is no longer there to be played.
    I'm not really sure how you got into this situation.  I'm also not sure if you have multiple copies of the same songs on your drive or just multiple entries in the library. It sounds like you  haven't gotten very far, that you have not yet set up playlists that you would be heartbroken to lose. If you have room on your drive, I might suggest closing iTunes, renaming both of those media folders, then restarting iTunes and creating a brand new library.  I would set iTunes to copy media files to the library when it imports them so that it all gets consolidated. I would add the music folder (which is probably a sub-folder of those other folders) from one of your two existing folders and see what happens. Then I'd add the other.
    As a normal precaution, I highly recommend backing up your two music folders before starting this. 
    When all is done and you are happy, you should be able to delete the older folders.  This is the step that begs for a backup. First, though, I'd change the names of the two older folders again and see if iTunes plays your music. If not, it didn't make a copy and it's still looking in the old folders.  You might want keep them around for a while and only delete them when you need drive space.  I am loathe to delete anything unnecessarily, just in case there is a problem.
    I'm not a Windows user so I can't help with the details on how to do this on a PC.
