Happened twice to me the first time I set up my iPhone 4.

Pain. Sorry it happened. Not sure what the fix is. But after doing it twice - I sync'd twice before disconnecting my iPhone and never had the problem again. I wonder if the "backup" was somehow corrupted originally.

Did you make the folders, organize the apps on the iPhone itself or through the iTunes interface? I haven't had this exact issue occur to me before but iTunes has taken things out of folders that had been in folders before the sync...

 

[shandyman]

it's only happened to me whilst i've been sync-ing and messing with folders at same time, learnt to wait until it's finished copying or syncing before messing with folders

Any chance you're running an old version of iTunes? I had this issue back when I was trying out the beta of 4.0 because Apple didn't release an updated version of iTunes that could properly handle folders until 4.0 went public.

I was using 9.2 so i thought i had the most current one. However, the newest was 9.2.1. i downloaded that...and hope for the best...if anyone else has this problem, please post it too....
