Sync content disappearing from iphone

I had sync my music, purchase videos and some dvd movies onto my iPone yesteray. I even play some for friends that wanted to see a movie demo.
Tonight I was out with friends and they wanted to see the movie play on the iPhone. When I tried to select a video the iPhone said 'no vidoes' message and same for music. All the music and videos content I had sync the previous day was gone from the phone.
All the content is alive an well on my desktop and resyncing did not push it back to my phone.
I then tried de-selecting all the music and video to remove the content from the phone, then reselect and resync.
iTunes shows the content being pushed back to the phone in it's display. But no content is showing up on iphone. It shows 'no music' or 'no videos' on the display of the iphone.
So know what do I do to get them back on the iPhone?
the only thing that is ok, my contacts and iphotos stay intact.
thanks

ok, very strange
I rest my iphone (reboot it) and the videos and music are now showing up.
another bug?
thanks

  • Content disappearing from Apple TV

    I am running the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro and syncing this with Apple TV (also fully updated). I have noticed that purchased content disappears from the Apple TV, and in some cases, from the MacBook. For example, I have purchase a season of Stargate Atlantis, downloaded and successfully synced, but then the following day episodes 3 and 5 will be missing from iTunes and Apple TV. They still exist in the backup (within the music library under "TV Shows," but what gives? Why so buggy? Thanks in advance for any comments!!

    Well nothing should ever disappear from iTunes, but for the AppleTV. Syncing doesn't really mean all content will always be there. It will sync, Movies, then TV, Music, then Photos in that order. If more spaces is needed for lets say a Movie, it will pull off photos, music, then TV shows in that priority order. The AppleTV I believe is going to try to save room on itself never knowing when you may download a rental or new content from the online store via the AppleTV. It will sync back content if there is room, if not then it will leave it on your computer and then stream when needed. Synced content just allows for faster access and access when computer is not on.

  • Some notes disappeared from iphone, and others are not synchronizing on ipad, mac, and iphone. What to do?

    Hi, MPiaM.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer.  However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • Exchange Calendar Events Disappearing from iPhone after Editing

    iPhone 6 running iOS8.
    Exchange calendar events are disappearing from iPhone right after I edit them from my phone. But they are still visible on my MacBook in Outlook.
    It used to happen very rarely but lately it has been happening very frequently. Haven't been able to find a pattern and re-create it.
    Tried searching online for this issue. Found quite a few threads about calendar sync issues, including the GMT bug but haven't been able to find this exact issue that I have been facing.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem and it has nothing to do with filing or moving emails,  for instance just before I logged in here to find a solution for the problem, I had just received and email on my iPad.  I was reading it then clicked on a link.  When I finished reading the link In Safari  and went back to the email, it was gone.   I have replied to an email then come back to it and it was gone.  This had nothing to do with viewing the email on a ore device.  This is a real problem I have asked about before and no one seems to know the answer.

  • IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

    I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
    If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
    I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

    I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
    1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
    2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
    3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
    Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
    Can someone please Help.

  • Purchased Music disappear from iphone and i must download it again.

    I purchased Music from itunes in my iphone. After 3-4 it disappear from iphone. I always must download it from itunes. Help Me Please.
    *I not good for english *
    Iphone 5 ios 8.1.1 Thanks.

    Not long ago my wife signed on to my Apple ID so she could get some of my songs. Maybe that has something to do with it? I double checked that my apple ID was the one that purchased the songs and is the current ID signed on to my phone. Also, just to see if it made any difference. I signed out of my ID and signed back in, now all of the songs that were listed and needing to be downloaded are gone completely. I went to iTunes and they are showing as purchased but not able to download. any suggestions?

  • Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

    Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
    If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
    Please help me! Who has any idea?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • I have synced my photos from iPhone and iPad to my iMac and now i want to delete from iPhone and iPad without deleting from iMac.  thanks.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

  • Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

    FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
    Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
    Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
    At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
    Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
    The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name.  Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book.  Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts.  Click Apply and sync your phone.  This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book.  (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

  • All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

    I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
    I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
    I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
    Has anyone else experience this?
    Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Music disappearing from iPhone after iTunes Wifi Sync

    I have an iPhone 4S and a Mac Mini (2010). On four or five occasions since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6, after a wi-fi sync, all or almost all of my music has disappeared from my phone (sometimes the most recent podcasts remain).
    Simply syncing again (over wi-fi or USB) doesn't fix it. To fix it, I need to uncheck "Sync Music" and "Sync Podcasts" on the Mac, sync, recheck them, and sync again. Then it works for a while.
    Additional context: like others, I've been experiencing other issues with wi-fi sync since installing iOS 6. In general, I can't initiate a sync from the phone, either manually or by plugging it in. I can sync from the Mac, but sometimes the Mac becomes unable to find the iPhone on the network. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on again seems to fix this and allow the Mac to initiate a sync.
    Shortly after installing iOS 6, I restored the iPhone and set it up as a new phone, hoping that would fix the sync connectivity problems (it didn't). More recently, I restored from backup. Didn't help.
    Is anyone else experiencing the disappearance of the music? Any suggestions? Is it likely to be an iPhone problem or a Mac problem?
    Thanks
    Ben

    The exact same problem has been happening on my iPhone as well. Very irritating. Drives me mad.
    Although unfortunately I don't have a solution, I would like to ask you something. When you were setting up your iPhone, did you choose to restore from iCloud so that your iTunes purchased musics would fly into your decive?
    The reason I'm asking this is that in my opinion, a conflict happens when making a Wi-Fi sync about deciding music storage so that an erase happens by itself. And it's probably a corner case so that it doesn't happen every time.
    Also, as a side note, all the countless times I Wi-Fi synced my iPad, which was not iCloud restored, nothing like this never ever happened.

  • HT1296 My iphone 4s is registered on my mac boo pro. Is it possible to sync my music from iphone to laptop without losing music content on iPhone

    When I try to sync the music from my iphone 4s to mac book pro, I get a message that suggest that if I continue, the contents in my iphone will be replaced with whats already in the itunes on mac book pro (in other words my iphone 4s music collection will be all lost).  Is there a way of syncing the 2 devices without losing any of the music.  I seem to manage to sync other items like calendar, contacts, photos, books etc.

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
    Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

    All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!
    Message was edited by: KkAaTt

    When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
    Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
    When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.

  • Video clapboard disappeared from iphone 3gs

    my video clapboard has disappeared from my iphone 3gs evne though i have videos & movies saved there

    You should sync often so that you do not lose anything.
    Anything that was purchased on iphone after your last sync is likely gone.
    You can redonwoad apps:
