Why my playlists keep disappearing?

This keep happening ever since I installed iTunes 10 and iOS 5.
Let's say I create a playlist on my iPod Touch 4g; it doesn't show up on iTunes until several weeks later if it shows at all, or in worst case scenario, iTunes erase the playlist after a few days and then it doesn't show up anymore on the iPod or either on iTunes. On the other hand, if I create the playlist directly on iTunes, then my iPod won't recognize it and won't show up. The only playlists I don't have a problem with are those I created prior installation of new iOS and iTunes.
Has anyone elese suffered from this?

Can you move the playlists to the internal storage and see that helps?
How do I do that without moving all the music too? I don't think I want to keep all my music in the internal storage...
Which reminds me, this may or may not be related, but also since the update, when I plug the phone into the computer, sometimes it won't even see the internal storage. It used to show up as a separate drive like the ext., but hadn't shown up the last few times, so I have no way to access the internal storage from the computer.
PS. I think that was very rude of you to branch that other person's post
just because you didn't like it. They had created another discussion to
ask their question earlier.
1st, I wasn't trying to be rude. I wasn't sure what "branching" actually meant or would do.
2nd, I didn't know if he had started his own thread, so if anything, it seemed I was helping him do so.
3rd, I have helped out in many computer repair forums, and I've seen when someone hijacks a thread with a different question than the original person trying to get help on a specific issue, it can get to point to where nobody is sure who is talking to who. And usually a moderator will then have to remove the secondary questions so the focus can stay on the original posters problem. So... I don't exactly see how I was being rude.

I am missing music I've purchased and my playlists keep disappearing

I am missing music I've purchased and my playlists keep disappearing. The folders are there but empty. Need help

Hey Steve, I took it to the icore south africa and they tried that but it didn't work, then they did a complete reset but unfortunately they cannot restore the machine since it keeps restarting every 2 minutes while doing the restore.
They said to me that the machine needs to be replace but they cannot replace it as it was not bought in South Africa. Is there some way or place I can contact in the US that I can ship the item back to and get it fixed or replaced ?

Why does Lightroom keep disappearing out of my installed apps list in Creative Cloud?

As the title says. It keeps disappearing. Its driving me nuts. Because it isn't listed in the app list, it doesn't update. It's happened numerous times now. Only downloading and reinstalling it makes it reappear...for a little while. Then its gone the next time I check

Re: Since updating to JellyBean, my playlists keep disappearing!

Hello Ann, I have a razr maxx with jb and am experiencing this problem as well. I also saw a s3 user complaining of it too.
Haven't noticed problems happening with sd mount/unmount, but i had a playlist of songs i had purchased on itunes and 1 song purchased from google play that I downloaded to my phone and added to the playlist later. In the beginning it was fine, but soon after, the playlist was empty with the exception of the one song from google play. After this happened, I created a new playlist on my phone adding the same songs and again, a day or 2 later the playlist only had the one song from google play..
Not that I would even use it if i still had my playlists, but I can't even listen to them together through the last added list. When i go to "last added" even though they're all the *most* recently added songs, its not alphabetical or even by artist, just a list of songs randomly arranged..
Any help would also be appreciated by me, thanks!

Playlists keep disappearing

I have been noticing that all of my playlists (except 'limewire') have mysteriously vanished. The music is still stored on my iPod, but the lists have vanished. This happens after I use my ihome alarm clock. Would it help if I restored my iPod today? I am getting annoyed with this because syncing my iPod to my mac can sometimes take as long as 3 hours (if contacts are synced)! Thanks!

TS4083 Can anyone tell me why my emails keep disappearing from my iPad after I read them? They are still on my laptop but not on my iPad. Would be eternally grateful if anyone can help.

Can anyone help!! I keep losing emails from my iPad after reading them although they still appear on my laptop. Does anyone know why?

Are you using Apple Mail? Gmail App? Are you using a personal address "@me.com"?
To give you a generalized answer. If your using a Pop Server (You have emails downloaded to each individual device via pop.emailprovider.com) in Apple Mail. Its possible that you have a setting causing emails to delete from your device, not the server where your emails are stored. If you can view your emails on more than one computer, then the emails are stored on your server. My recommendation would be to use an IMAP server setup if possible.
If you could answer some of my questions, I would be happy to help you more. It appears to be an issue with the device deleting local emails downloaded to it, rather than the emails deleting server side.

Why does audio keep disappearing?

Since I installed OS X Mavericks a few days ago, my audio suddenly, unpredictably and inexplicably disappears on a regular basis.
The only solution I know of is to reboot my MacBook Air. But this is getting tedious, boring and frustrating.
Is this a Marvericks glitch? Is there a way I can cure this problem and annoyance?
Thank you.

Back up all data before making any changes.
1. If anything is plugged into the audio-out port, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
2. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
3. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
If there's no improvement, or if you're not aware of having installed anything that fits the description, post again.

HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

1) How do I use Cloud? I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys? 3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

Why do my recent phone contacts keep disappearing and re-appearing?

I recently bought an iPhone 4S and synced my contacts from my previous smart phone.
Now, the contacts I add get saved, but they keep disappearing and re-appearing automatically. This has been happening for almost a month now.
It is very embarassing when my new Manager calls up and I ask who he is.
Please help.

So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

Why do my tv shows keep disappearing?

I've bought one episode of Superatural and one of Moonlight, and each time I play them they disappear off of my iPod. They're both in my Purchase History, but not on my hard drive. I realize that next time I need to make a backup disc, but why does this keep happening?

I have no idea. A little more information might help us help you.
Email provider?
Type of email account (POP, IMAP, Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail)?
Other devices that access your email (computer, iPad, another phone)?

Why do my podcasts keep disappearing after I download them to my computer.

Since updating iTunes to the newest version, I have been having problems with my podcasts. Specifically, my episodes keep disappearing. The first time I figured it was a fluke, but it happened again and again. Every time I close iTunes and open it again, the podcasts have disappeared even though I have all my podcasts set up to keep all episodes. The episodes are all still listed, but there is a little cloud with an arrow inside pointing down next to each one. There are a handful of random episodes that are still there (without the cloud and arrow icon). I searched for the files in my computer's music folder and even the files are suddenly missing and I know they used to be there. I don't know why this keeps happening. Is anyone else having this problem and how can I stop it from happening?

Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day. All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app. And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually.
RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

Salvizuno -
