Tv episodes removed from iPod after syncing

I'm a complete novice when it comes to the whole iPod/iTunes thing. So maybe this is just a setting thing, but can anyone tell me why everytime I plug my iPod up to my laptop to charge and of course iTunes opens up and does it's whole syncing thing. Well everytime it syncs it takes away various tv episodes off my iPod. From what I can tell it removes the ones I've watched and leaves the new ones alone.
I tested my theory by marking them all new on iTunes and resynced and all the episodes reappeared.
Can anyone tell me why? Is there some setting change I need to make? Any help would be much appreciated.

When you iPod is plugged in, go to the TV Shows section on the sync screen. It should let you choose certain things, and yours probably says "Sync Only Unwatched Episodes". You can change it by selecting somethings else and saving your changes. Hope this helps.

ITunes album artwork randomly removed from iPhone after sync.

iTunes 12.1.0.50. IOS 8.1.3. iPhone 5. 23GB free space on iPhone.
Album art is randomly removed from iPhone after sync. This seems to be new to the recent version of iTunes.
Removed and reinstalled all music. No help, problem still occurs.
Restored iPhone as a new iPhone and reinstalled all music. At first, all artwork was installed, but on later sync, random artwork was removed or missing. Problem reoccurs.
This appears to be a bug in the software somewhere.
Anyone having similar problems?

welcome to my world....
i have had this at least three times now in the past month.
I too had to do a factory reset and set up a a new phone.
i read an article about it being a known issue and something to do with duplicate tracks causing it to hang during sync. it then fills up the available space with the dreaded "other" data and hey ho you have no music.
have a look at this, hope it helps and hope Apple get it fixed as it is affecting a lot of people

IPhone5 Notes removed from phone after syncing with iTunes

This morning my wife came to me with her iPhone5 complaining that her notes in the Note app have disappeared. After investigating on her laptop we found them in her Yahoo folders but they weren't on her phone. Strange. I had all my notes on my iPhone5. So we went to work and I researched the issue. Found out that there are a lot of people out there with this same issue. This evening I backed up my iPhone5 wirelessly to my computer. I restored my wife's phone to her last back up that she said had her notes. No good - not there. So I reset her phone back to factory setting and restored from her backup. In the mean time, I plugged my phone in to my computer to check on some setting. Lo and behold, my notes have disappeared too! Of course they are all in Yahoo, but what's strange is that not all of my Yahoo notes disappeared. So it has something to do with syncing with iTunes with the wire, not wirelessly. I just restored my phone to today's backup and I suspect that since I'm tethered to my computer, the restore put them back and iTunes removed them. Since I cannot see the Notes folder in the email app - what good is it to sync them to Yahoo? Ridiculous. So the key is to NOT tether your phone to iTunes and sync wirelessly. Now I am going to have to go through the process of emailing all my notes back to myself and copy them into Notes.
Any one have a better cost-effective solution?

Follow up to my earlier post. It appears that the notes that "disappeared" from my iPhone fit in a certain date range. Seems to be June and July. A note I created in August didn't disappear. So I just emailed the notes from June and July to myself. I created new notes on my iPhone in the Notes app for my Yahoo account. Automagically they appeared in my Yahoo folder and didn't disappear from my iPhone when I synced again. Solution?

Remove from ipod after FULLY played

I found the nice little setting of "update: only unplayed episodes" for uncluttering my ipod with episodes i've already listened to, but it seems a bit aggressive. It just goes and deletes any podcasts that i may have been in the middle of when i went to sync.
Can't there be a way to force it to keep it on the ipod until it has a play count of 1 or greater?

Here is a little applescript diddy I wrote based loosely on "Whack Current Track" on Doug's scripts site (http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/)
Paste the following into script editor and save the script in your itunes script folder. I call it "Whack Finished Podcasts.scpt"
==== cut ===
global addenda
tell application "iTunes"
set addenda to ""
set deletedFiles to false
set ofi to fixed indexing
set fixed indexing to true
set playedCasts to (tracks of playlist "Podcasts" whose played count > 0)
repeat with oldPodcast in playedCasts
try
set dbid to database ID of oldPodcast
set cla to class of oldPodcast
try
set floc to (get location of oldPodcast)
end try
-- delete (some track of current playlist whose database ID is dbid)
try
delete (some track of library playlist 1 whose database ID is dbid)
end try
if cla is file track then
my deletethefile(floc)
end if
set deletedFiles to true

if addenda = "" then
set addenda to "Some podcasts could not be deleted:"
end if
set addenda to addenda & "

end try
end repeat

No music in ipod after sync

How do I get my music to show up on my iPod after syncing? Had no problems until I connected to a PC (silly me!). Now, iTunes says it is syncing to my iPod, but the music doesn't show. I've restored, reset, etc. All help would be greatly appreciated!

From this article: iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
should I restore?
Yes. At this point it seems as though the iPod's software is corrupt and a restore should correct that.

Entire library of music erased off ipod after sync

Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gb running IOS 8.2
For the 4th time since updating to IOS 8.2, whenever i try to add new music to my ipod through itunes, when the ipod syncs with itunes, ALL of my music is erased off the ipod.
Manually manage music and videos is selected. I do not have itunes/ipod automatically sync music. I have "prevent devices from syncing automatically" enabled.
So heres the basic rundown of what happens.
1-upload music to ipod
2-let music copy over
3-upload more music to ipod
4-ipod/itunes begin sync
5-syncing stops without copying music over
6-all music vanishes off ipod after sync "completes"
looking at my ipod music list in itunes, it shows all my music. when you click on them to play them, ! shows up next to ALL songs.
when you look at the music on the ipod itself, nothing is there.
this is what it looks like for the music that has be synced before, that has suddenly disappeared

from my experience, the music is still there. the database is screwed up when itunes recognizes the music, but the ipod doesnt see it.
what ive discovered, after the database crashes and everything is gone, see if you can find this info out. anytime ive had this issue, there are normally a few songs that wont copy over and itunes says "could not convert"(i have itunes setup to convert songs of high bitrate to aac 128kbps). when i go to delete those songs(because they show up on the ipod, but are greyed out), thats when the database crashes, and everything vanishes.
my fix for this issue is this:
unplug ipod from computer and turn off
close itunes
restart ipod
open itunes
plug in ipod
sync ipod with itunes
copy over one or two of failed songs
watch itunes start to sync, sit at "waiting for changes to be applied" for a few minutes
watch all my missing music reappear(over the course of about 10 hours, takes a few minutes to recopy 4000 songs)
annoying and frustrating, but until apple can recognize this issue and put a fix in, this is the best solution i can think of besides throwing my ipod at the wall and fix the solution permanently. but that wont get me very far because of my lifeproof case.

HT1386 how to delete photos from iphone after syncing with itunes

is there anyway to automatically setup itunes or my iphone to delete my photos from iphone after syncing with itunes?

Thank you! Syncing has always scared me...basically I am just afraid to lose any photos. But it worked. Again thank you

No music on iPod after sync

I've been having a problem with syncing music to iPod gen4 and and iPod gen3 for some time now. There are similar issues reported in a variety of questions on this forum: after syncing, apparently successfully via iTunes, you disconnect the iPod and the iPod appears to have no music on it. However, I have not been able to find any that present to me a working solution, nor have a found a discussions which shares particular details of the situation that I am experiencing.
After a "no music on iPod after sync" experience, the iPod will no longer function properly after this, and you have to put it into disk mode in order to connect to the computer and "do a restore." The first time this happened, I didn't know about restoring, and actually discarded the iPod (a gen 3) and replaced it with my first gen 4. Now I have an additional gen 4 (my 2nd), plus I also purchased a used gen 3 to replace the one I threw away. Each of these three devices has experienced the problem, and I can get the device functioning again after restore. All the devices seem to be in good working shape and serve me fine; I do not believe that any of them has a hardware problem such as failing hard drive etc.
The problem of "no music on iPod after sync" can be created in a repeatable fashion by choosing the appropriate set of playlists to sync. I visited an Apple Store genius bar twice now to discuss the issue, and the conclusion was that there possibly was a "corrupt file" that was causing the problem. However, I can also reliably sync the music by splitting it into smaller pieces. For example, suppose I have a group of 20 playlist folders, and I choose to sync the first 10. This can be done without problem. If I then choose to sync the last 10 but without the first 10, this also can be done without problem. However, if I sync all 20 together, then I get the "no music" screen on the iPod after the sync. So I can load and play all the music files involved with my problem. What seems to be associated with the occurrence of a "no music" event is the volume of songs that I sync.
I am working with a large number of audio files organized into a large number of playlists arranged in a somewhat large number of playlist folders, some nested inside others. I suspect that a cause of the problem may be the large number of files and/or playlists and/or folders.
For instance, in my latest experience, I worked with a collection of files that I have sitting all together in one playlist folder, that itself sits inside a higher level playlist folder.. In this collection there are 4358 "songs" (the audio files aren't actually music) occupying 1.68 GB of memory. So I have one playlist folder (level 1, let's say) that contains within it a playlist (sub)folder (level 2) that has within it 36 playlist folders (level 3), each with a set of playlists inside that together account for all 4358 songs, without any repetitions of the songs between playlists. Some of the playlist folders contain as many as 206 playlists. The playlists vary in the number of songs they contain; I think there are some with just one or two, and I now there are some with at least 32 songs.
Anyway, with the above described collection, I can sync the first half of the set of level 3 playlist folders without problem. I can sync the second half of the level 3 playlist folders without problem. But if I sync all together, I have problems.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Verify you have the itunes/ipad music tab set to sync music and the correct playlists selected.

This computer is no longer authorized? 44 songs will be removed from ipod?

this computer is no longer authorized? 44 songs will be removed from ipod? How do I get my songs? They are from an email address i had years ago. When ipods were new. I don't remember that password!

Are you sure you authorized it for the ID)s) that purched all the media on the iPod?
If so them maybe:

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

HT204022 I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?

I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?

Please see the following:
iCloud- Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud- Photo Stream limits
The 30 day limit, as I understand it, prevails after you reach one of the prevailing number limits. I've yet to reach one of those limits over the past few years and my PhotoStream is still intact.
However, it's a good idea to move your photos into iPhoto which is your on-disk library. And, this library can be backed up locally, thus, preserving your photos.

HT1386 Will apps and/or music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than orginally used?

Will apps and or/music be erased from iPod if synced to a computer other than original one used?

Yes. To avoid that:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a thrid-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
The computer will now be your syncing computer in the future. Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
