If you using on a windows pc, maybe you should reinstall the iCloud Control Panel. You can download the latest version from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455?viewlocale=en_US
If you cant see your changes on icloud.com than you have trouble between outlook and icloud. this is the part of the icloud control panel.

Why are specific Itunes playlists/music not showing when I sync devices?, Why are specific Itunes playlists/music not showing when I sync devices?

Each time I sync any of my devices, the same playlists/music from my Itunes is absent from my device's sync application.

Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

Hi there,
I updated the Top 25 Most Played list created under my ipod. The list showing in itunes shows the updated list, however the list in my ipod itself is not updated. How do i update the list in my ipod. Thanks.

under your ipod option in itunes
if u set it auto update, your ipod should update all the details when u connect.

My ipod does not shuffle but only plays one song

I just got my second ipod touch after the first one died. I loaded all my favorite tunes but when I hit shuffle, it will only play the first song it comes to and just repeats the same song over and over.

You have repeat on.
This is covered in the manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
Play the song, tap the screen, tap the repeat icon until it is white = off.

Sometimes when starting my iMac it shows a folder icon with a Question mark in it. Mac does not start up, only when shutting down and restart again solves it

Sometimes when starting up my iMac it shows only a folder icon with a question mark in it. Nothing happened. Only when start up again it runs ok.
What can be the cause of this.
thanks for your help
Hans

That's an indication your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
Open System Preferences > Startup Disk
Select: MacintoshHD OS X
For OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6 > A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Helps when you ask for help to tell us which Mac OS X is installed.
If you aren't certain, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.

Why is that in itunes my playlist is in order from the recently added to oldest but when it syncs into my ipod , it doesnt arrange it that way. its in artist order

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I have downloaded the lord of the rings BBC Dramatisation in 3 parts but they appear out of sequence on my iPod no matter how I try to arrange them in my library when I sync my iPod they are still out of sequence eg: Book 1, Book 3 Then Book 2. HELP!

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

Try another Sync. On occasions, I've know a first Sync to behave like this.

My iTunes doesn't have all the music that my iPod has. But when i sync my iPod it doesn' t put my music back onto my computer, how do i fix this?

So, I looked at my iTunes library and realized that i had a rather small amount of music on it, while i have a rather large amount of music on my iPod. I don't know where all my music went on my computer, and I have no clue how it isn't there. When I sync my iPod it doesn't transfer my music back or even give me the, "We found some music on your iPod that is no longer in your library, would you like to transfer these songs?"
I don't really know what to do, andy advice?

Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

When i sync my ipod why doesnt my smart playlists update its settings (ie recently played list does not reflect songs only played in 2012)
