Not sure what is causing the issue, but possible solution.
Do you have a PC or other such device you can log into iTunes with a sync your LOCAL library to what is presumably in the 'cloud'?
Then, plug your device into your PC and sync from there.

I'll give that a try once I get my shipment delivered and the computer unpacked and setup (I they haven't broken it in the container!).
Silent failing is poop......but I guess that why people thing they are wonderful devices, because they don't know their not working!

Awesome. Just awesome.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

A great post. Thanks for sharing

About a week ago, I remember reading JSOP's post about responsive web design being a PITA. I have to add that responsive email design makes me want to change my profession. 
Gmail strips out any style section or CSS so everything has to be inline. Outlook thinks we are still using IE8 or something equally archaic so doesn't support anything fluid and you have to use old school tables. Apple Mail doesn't support the max-width tag. Yahoo in their infinite wisdom treats media queries as word so you have to put a tag to tell them to ignore it. Apparently modern browsers now ignore conditional html entirely.
And of course the user wants a two column layout with a three column footer. And I don't have the ability to say "No, that is just silly."
The HTML document looks like some Frankenstein monster. It has a style section plus inline styles, conditional tables that get created if the person is using Outlook. Tables are no longer nested, they are rat's nested and some of the tables only being there some of the time makes it that much harder to keep an eye on what is happening.
And all of this being sent from a system that is stripping out some of my HTML or better yet replacing it with what it thinks is better.

Email was never supposed replace a web page. Most of those things done are done for security to A: stop email harvesting and B: to prevent injectable attacks and C: probably just to annoy us.
Just use minimal formatting, if they want a web experience, then toss in a link. Or just offer a plain text version. All you need is word wrap.

All marketing can come up with is brochures. In that spirit, just print the freakin' thing to a PDF.

I wish the minimal formatting was an option. And yes, all of those changes were made for a reason. But this is a newsletter that needs to have images, and pictures, and links, and... well you get the point. Plus it needs to look good in any email client the recipient might use.
If the industry would just agree on one freakin standard and nuke Outlook from orbit I'd be much happier. I'd settle for nuking Outlook if agreeing on a standard isn't an option.
I wish I could use anything that resembled a best practice, but when your customer has important enough to dictate their requirements you tend to do your best to make that happen.
I am making the argument for a single column layout since that would simplify so much. Still leaves the Outlook problem but it gets rid of so many other problems.

Last I heard JSOP would like to help make Outlook just "disappear" a reality. So far your goal is two strong. In time, who knows.

Outlook has been good to me, since around 2007 or so, on the few occasions I've had to use it. But I've never had to code around it.

And I am soooooo happy Outlook does block this crapware I am being sent to.

I'm happy it blocks that crap too. In fact most of the people out there block it, last stat I saw was something like 2/3 of of email users block images and other multimedia by default.
But it doesn't matter.

As of Outlook 2007, it uses Word to render the HTML, so it's actually closer to IE5.5
There used to be a site[^] campaigning for Microsoft to fix this, but it seems to be dead now. The Twitter account[^] hasn't posted since 2009.
