Songs that are imported manually from cds or flash drives are randomly deleting from my iphone 5. Sometimes I get an error -54 message first. Sometimes not. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I have an iPhone 5 16g ios 8.2 and it keeps randomly deleting the songs I manually put on from cds or flash drives. The songs I purchased from iTunes don't delete just the ones I manually add. It has happened three times, once after I added 399 songs, once after I added 27 songs and once when I added 45 songs. Sometimes an error (-54) pops up but not always, it's just in an instant all the songs I put on are suddenly gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times, reset all the settings on my phone and also restored my phone to factory settings. Nothing has worked. I have a 4th generation iPod and I have never had this problem. Any and all suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions..
My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please post back and let me know how that goes.
Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

Please don't hesitate to post back should you have further questions or comments, or with update.
Good luck.

  • After a PRAM reset my MBP 1,1 display is split into 4 parts each displaying the same image. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

    After resetting the PRAM/NVRAM (control, option, P, R) on my Macbook Pro 1,1 (2007) running 10.6.8 The screen is now split into 4 parts, each displaying the same thing. The screen immediately appears this way at the first grey screen, however if I do another NVRAM reset, upon restart after the second startup chime, the screen is normal but once it gets to a certain point around thetime the cog stops spinning, the screen flickers, turns blue and splits into four again.
    Another thing is when I tried using the Apple Hardware Test I couldn't read the instructions as the resolution was too small, but once I restarted and change my display resolution in System Preferences, the resolution was readable in AHT. I assumed the System Settings were loading when the OS had booted and that AHT runs without any of these settings (if that makes sense?)
    I've not used any third party utilites and everything working fine except for some battery issues which are gone now (the reason I tried the PRAM reset)
    Any help would be much appreciated

  • Mac randomly crashes, screen turns green and white, and it works fine upon restart. What causes this and how can I fix it?

    My MacBook Pro 13 inch (I've had it for about a year and a half) has started crashing randomly. It happens about once a week and it will happen when I'm in the middle of either watching a video, typing a paper, playing a game, etc. The computer clicks loudly and the screen becomes a series of green and white lines. It works fine upon restart, but it's still annoying whenever it happens. What causes this? Is it fixable?

    The image suggests an issue with the graphics board.
    The issue may happen more when your machine is generating additional heat, as when you're watching or processing video, or gaming. I can't say for certain, of course, but certain things will reduce the chance of the problem recurring:
    1. Keep your machine as cool as possible. When there's additional heat, turn up the fan, or use an app like HD Fan Control to reduce the heat. Use your computer the way you see fit, but be conscious of heat.
    2. Back up on a regular basis. Logic board problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, so backing up is a good way of safeguarding your data.
    3. Look up "Logic Board Woes" on Google for a comprehensive discussion of the issue.

  • ITunes and its support programs, iTunesHelper AppleMobleDeviceService.exe, are using up an excessive amount of system resource. What is causing this and how can I fix it?.exe and

    iTunesHelper.exe and AppleMobiledeviceService.exe are doing some disturbing things:
    -They are starting automatically on system startup,
    -They are using excessive system resources (AppleMobileDeviceService.exe was using 50% of my CPU, and this without me plugging in a device or opening                              iTunes.),
    -I cannot find them under the Programs Menu in Control Panel, meaning, I cannot uninstall them.
    iTunes itself is using more system resources than I would expect. If these issues continue without a reasonable fix, I will have to consider iTunes to be malware and iTunesHelper.exe and AppleMobileDeviceService.exe to be trojans, and treat them as such.

    Hey, nfcopier: ripping the executable and dynamic link library out by the roots is worth considering, thanks. It took me until tonight to find a thread similar to my own. For some reason Apple doesn't want to be known for its bloated, intractable software. W*T*F*, Apple? How hard is it conceive a pilot program which starts everything and shuts it off when it's not necessary? It's got to be do-able.

    Also what speed are you burning at?
    This workflow is recommended to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to search for something using the Google or MSN search engines, but not with other search engines. What causes this and how can i fix this?

    I type something into the Google or MSN search engine and as soon as I hit search, Firefox crashes. Hotmail still works fine, as do every other website I have tried, including other search engines. What is the problem?

    I got the same issue to and crashes in the same exact manner. Been using IE in the mean time, thought it was just me. I tried reinstalling Firefox and everything, even rolled back windows.

  • My Apple G5 using operating system 10.6.8 keeps locking up. I get no warning or error message. I do get some intermittent screen distortion. Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how i get rid of this problem? Complete system re - install? N

    My mac keeps locking up it s Power mac G5 Intel using 10.6.8 OS.X. I get no warning or error messages it just locks up and the only way to get it to work again is to depress power button and restart. Its random intermittent and incredibly frustrating. I do get some screen distortion from time to time and wondered whether it may be a graphics card issue or whether it could be solved with a complete system re-install and OS upgrade?

    According to everymac.com, your Mac came with Tiger, 10.4.x and can't go any higher than Lion, 10.7.x.
    It would have come with gray, machine specific disks. Since there's no reason to install 10.4.x first, and then Snow Leopard over that, just purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for $20. What you won't get with the retail version of SL is the iLife suite (Garage Band, iDVD, etc.) that were on the original bundled disks, but you can purchase iLife on Amazon pretty cheap, and get newer versions besides.
    When you get Snow Leopard, you can boot to the DVD, erase the drive and install everything clean. Hopefully, you issue is only software, and not hardware related.

  • Help, please! I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points.  What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it?

    This is driving me crazy. I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points.  Too much info for me.  What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it?  I've been through all of the preferences, views etc. I can find but no luck.  Thinking this has something to with the color settings (obviously) but with all of the possible options there I could use some help.  Thanks, all!

    May have been a switch from RGB to CMYK.
