I bought a song today and ALL of my music disappeared... How do i get it back? Does icloud restore it?

I bought a soong today from itunes. While the song was downloading, my phone blinked off. Came back on and finished downloading the song. Problem is now ALL of my other music is gone. Anyone know how to get it back? Does it correct itself after it backs up to the icloud tonite? Can I do a "back up now" to my icloud to retrieve it? Completely lost and frustrated... HELP!

A backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music app (nor the Videos app). Have you tried closing the Music app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if the music shows when you re-open the app ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then if the music was purchased from iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (and if the music is still in your country's store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. Or have you been connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over - if you have then you can sync them back.

    like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

  • Browser bar and the bar above it disappeared, how do I get it back

    I have Safari on my PC and the browser bar and the bar that has the files, edit, etc on it disappeared, how do I get it back? I was allowing my 2 year old daughter watch a show on netflix using google chrome but somehow she managed to get safari open and net thing I knew the browser bar is missing and when I tried to get it back, I managed to make things worse by making the bar above it disappear too. How do I get them back?

    The OP is using or trying to use OS X on a non-Apple netbook or I've misunderstood.
    What on earth makes you think that? He's posted in the Windows category of the Safari community. He has never mentioned Mac OS. He said Safari was installed on his PC in his very first post. Furthermore, the details of his replies to your advice are precisely what you should expect if he was using Safari for Windows, and trying to implement the (inapplicable and unimplementable) Safari for Mac advice in the context of his particular issue. You've got this one very badly wrong from the beginning right through to now, and in that context the implication that he was trying to get advice here on how to do something illegal was not only wrong, but insulting.

  • The notes section in all of my contacts disappeared. how do I get them back? Help!

    All of the notes in my Contacts dissapeared. How do I get them back??!! I rebooted my phone. Also, although my iPhone 4S is marked in settings to back up my contacts to iCloud, there were NO contacts saved...now what...?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I had to refresh my laptop and all my apps were removed how do i get them back?

    I have a Pavilion dv6-7010us Entertainment PC -- operating system Windows 7 -- upgrading to windows 8 when the laptop would not update -- kept stalling at 12% -- said the D:windows\system32\log files\srt\srt trail.txt was missing -- refreshed the computer to look for file and all my apps were removed.  Now my computer does not do all the special things it did when I first brought it.

    Have you tried performing a system recovery to a date before this issue happened?

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost all of my music. How do I get it back?

    My hard drive has crashed and I have lost all of my music. Is there a way to contact the itunes people and get at least all of my purchased music back?

    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I accidentally synced my iPhone with a different iTunes, now I lost all my purchased music. How do I get it back?

    I had synced my phone onto a different iTunes account without thinking about it. I had purchased a few songs and episodes from the iTunes library and now I'm having a hard time recovering them. The new iTunes lets you purchase previously downloaded apps and books but I can't find anywhere to download my songs and tv shows. I have the list items in my previous purchases history but every time I go to download it again it asks to buy again. Is there anyway of getting them back for download or will I have to suck it up and pay again? I have an iPhone 3GS if that helps. Thanks for your time.

    Not 100% sure, but I think even though it says "buy", it will recognize that you have already bought it and it won't charge you again.
    Maybe someone here can confirm that that is indeed the case?

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and on going back into Mail all my Mailboxes have disappeared, how do I get them back?

    Help with Mountain Lion and Mail

    Hi Anitra,
    Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
    Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
    If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library.

  • Firefox recently updated itself, and all bookmarks are now gone. how do I get them back.

    no content needed. As I stated previously, all bookmarks are gone after firefox did an auto update.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
