Synced music library keeps vanishing!

Since the recent update I have noticed that the synced music library on my AppleTV keeps vanishing as if I don't have any music on it. In order to get it back, I need to go to Shared Music and then back to My Music on the AppleTV menu. The problem happens severa times a day. I have tried rebooting the AppleTV (in fact I usually have to reboot it at least once a week due to the fact in freezes).
Is the instability caused by having a second computer sharing its iTunes library with the AppleTV? It's getting abit irritating when you have listened to an album and then go back to select another album and find the whole music library has disappeared.

This problem seems to have been fixed with update 2.3 which I've been using for a numbers of days now
Pity about some of the other new problems introduced with update 2.3 though

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
    Any suggestions

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • IPhone 6 music library keeps being deleted

    Every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac my music library vanishes off my phone except previously purchased songs. I have reinstalled iTunes 12 and restored my phone but it keeps happening. I have my iTunes set to manually manage my library. I will spend hours transferring songs from my library to my phone and they may stay on for a few days but then seven times out of 10 my music will disappear again except tunes I bought from iTunes. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? So frustrated. Thanks

    I have had this problem a month ago. I just tried a 1000 things that did not work, then it started working. I think it's because Apple made iTunes really stupid. Pretty sure that's it.

  • Problem syncing music library

    Hey,
    I have my iTunes syncing to AppleTV on a custom sync, All my Movies and TV Shows have synced fine, but when I choose to sync my whole music library, it only syncs 229 items, when I have nearly 2000. Anyone know why this may be?
    Thanks,
    Oliver

    Go to the folder/playlist - whatever....then go to EDIT SELECT ALL...then go to the first item on your list - right click - if it is already selected you'll have to uncheck selection, then do it again and choose check selection. It keeps the 'select all' option

  • Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

    I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
    I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
    Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
    I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
    it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
    So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
    I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

    For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

  • Cannot sync music library after download apps from icloud

    I just brought an ipad4. I used icloud to download my iphone apps into my ipad. However, doing such, I cannot not sync my music library. Please help! The strange things are that I can do it into my ipod and iphone 5

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can only sync to one itunes library at a time. If you change your computer or replace the HD and install a new OS, itunes will create a new library and the phone will not sync to this one unless it got erased before by itunes.
    To get your music back to the phone make sure your new itunes is authorized in the Store menu: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • Trouble syncing music library.

    I recently noticed that some albums, songs and playlists are not syncing correctly from my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 4S. When I go into my music on the phone, I see some albums, songs and playlists listed, but when I go to play a song, it appears on the list in light grey text and will not open or play. I went to check on my laptop and the songs are still there and play just fine. Previously, these songs were able to be played on the phone and this problem seems to have occurred/coincided with my software update of iTunes. Anyone have any idea what's going on or how I might fix it? This problem seems random and is affecting only a small portion of my music library. It occurs with both songs/albums I purchased directly from iTunes and also with songs loaded from CD's. Last note: I synched manually by connecting to computer and did not sync via iCloud.

    Update: After hours of looking for an answer and trying all things Apple, I noticed that at the bottom of the screen on the phone along with playlists, artists, songs, albums, there's also a button that says "More."  I clicked and went to "Shared" and noticed that there's two options: My iPhone and (my) Library. I switched from My Phone to Library and voila! Problem solved. I hope my hours of frustration can help someone else.

  • Syncing music library

    Ok, I recently updated my iphone 4 and I also wanted to change the music on it.  When I went through and manually chose songs, I couldn't get them all to sync.  I tried it A LOT, looking at all music settings.  I then tried to sync entire music library and it still won't.  All of the music is legal, from itunes purchases.  HELP!  I must be missing something!

    I guess I could stream the music when I'm wanting my playlists. It just seems weird to have to stream the exact same music that's already on the Apple TV itself.
    Can you think of another way I could maybe configure the music on my MAC to achieve the goal of 1 copy / 4 XML files to make it more friendly with the Apple TV?

  • How to sync music library to a new computer after my old one crashed

    I am trying to sync my music library from my ipone 4 to a new computer since my old one crashed.  Is there a way to do this without looking my music?

    Hi scotttwoodward1985,
    I'm sorry to hear that your computer crashed--that's never any fun. You definitely may download Acrobat and reinstall it. You can download it from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    Just use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Music Library keeps reseting to ALL-ALL-ALL

    I used to be able to pick an artist in my Library so that I could see what albums I have, then click back and forth between "Music" and "iTunes Store" to compare them.
    I just installed update 7.3.1 (3) and now when I click back on Music the view reverts to Genre=ALL, Artist=ALL, Album=ALL.
    This makes it difficult to see which albums I'm missing from an artist.

    More info -
    Music Library also resets to ALL-ALL-ALL when I click a playlist then back to Music. Makes it difficult to review past mix CDs when I'm trying to make a new one w/out including the same songs on it.
    Also just tried this on my XP system in the office, it has the same problem.

  • Music Library keeps defaulting to iTunes folder on Hard Drive

    I have gone into advanced preferences and changed my iTunes folder to a folder on an external hard drive connected to my Airport. It works fine until there is n interruption in the connection. Then, the iTunes folder always defaults back to the original iTunes folder under Music on the hard drive. Because I have a very large music collection, it takes a good ten minutes to change back to the external folder. Also, because of the size of my collection, storing he music on my Mac is not an option.
    This happens frequently because my airport connection frequently disconnects for a couple seconds and, then, automatically reconnects.
    I have even attempted to trash the original iTunes folder but the computer just creates a new empty one to default to.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I have my iTunes Music Library on an external hard drive connected to of the three Macs on my home LAN. If the machine with external HD is not on and I launch iTunes on one of the other machines, the folder location reverts to the default location as you described. When I boot the host machine and then reestablish all the LAN connections, I simply relaunch iTunes on the other machines and they all happily find the correct Music Folder locations. A relaunch of iTunes is all that is required.
    If you are playing iTunes and a relaunch is not possible, you need to look strengthening the Airport signal to avoid an interruption. I don't use any wireless setup so I'm not familiar with that procedure.

  • Synced music library, doesn't match music on iPod after I disconnect...

    How come when I have 1.95GB of music in my music folder, and it show that amount after I sync my 6th gen nano, it has my whole iTunes library on my nano when I disconnect and look in the music folder?
    I want just the music from my music folder on my iPod.
