I lost music after updating to iOS 7, iTunes can't find what can I do?

After updating my iPhone to ios7 I lost a lot of music in my phone and iTunes   iTunes was updated too and music is still listed there but can not find.

I have the same problem which started after I upgraded to iOS 7.  It works particularly bad on the iPhone 4. It is in "Loading iTunes Match" mode most of the time with no or very slow progress, and when it finally ends, the uploaded Playlists are never there, not one.  "Loading iTunes Match" would restart again after leaving and restarting music, say 50% of the time. Not sure what really is being loaded and can't understand why it has to be reloaded so often.
I had a problem ticket with Apple Support, but the specialist asked for a series of screenshots documenting the start time of "Loading iTunes Match" and the eventual completion time.  I told him to forget it because I had already spent too much time turning this and that on and off for so many times in so many days trying to listen to my own uploaded music and I did not want to fiddle around anymore.  I have decided not to renew my iTunes Match service in November, and have since turned off iTunes Match on all my devices and gone back to syncing to keep things simple.
I also have Amazon Cloud Player which is working just fine for the purpose of having some kind of cloud access of my music. I will be renewing this $24 service this month for another year instead of iTunes Match.
Apple was supposed to be very good at software development, and for them not resolving a problem in a paid service since the rollout of iOS 7 is just disappointing.

  • Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

    why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

    Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
    So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
    I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
    Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
    I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

  • After updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    At last, the BEST solution!
    In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
    It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
    Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
    Enable Airplane Mode
    Go to iCloud settings
    Turn on Contacts
    Agree to 'Merge Contact'
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
    Turn off Contacts
    Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
    Disable Airplane Mode
    Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
    Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.

  • Lost apps after updating to iOS 4.2.1 Help please! =(

    I updated my iPhone 3Gs to the iOS 4.2.1 and lost a lot of my apps.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried to install the apps again but I have to buy them. I don't want to pay again. They also disappeared from my iTunes in the computer. =(
    During the update, I had to restore the phone once, but I saw that it backed up all my data when I first plugged it in. I don't know what could have happened. Help please!

    All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. iTunes content in your iTunes library cannot be erased when syncing an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, or when installing an iPhone firmware update. Regardless, it is a good idea to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    Did you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
    No iTunes content on your iPhone - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    You can re-download a 3rd party app and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

  • Lost pictures after updating to IOS 7.

    After updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 7, I lost all the photos that had been stored on the phone. That was six months ago, and I have taken many more pictures I don't want to lose, either. Is there any way to retrieve these images from an old backup without restoring my entire phone to that backup?

    You should be importing all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly.  Have you failed to do this?

  • Yet another case of lost contacts after updating to iOS 5

    I'm an iPhone noob cos my personal phone is a htc desire s and the phone I'm having problems with is my mother's.
    So since I didn't see anything about iOS 5 having any major issues, I updated from 4.X.X to 5.1.1. During the process, iTunes said 'backing up phone' or something like that, but after a while it said something like  'restoring phone to factory default' and I found this weird but thought nothing of it.
    After the update completed, I checked that the pictures and messages were there but didn't notice if the contacts in messages were there. Few days later my mother tells me that all the contacts were gone.
    Been trying for the past 3 hours to fix it. Syncing did nothing and for some reason, iTunes only had no previous backups!! I also didn't enable iCloud when setting up the phone for the first time after updating it so the disabling and enabling iCloud didn't work. The messages didn't show my contacts so I couldn't use the 'editing a contact' method. There aren't any contacts on windows contacts or anything else and the phone is rarely connected to the computer (apple noob here).
    I'm really out of ideas, many important contacts on the phone that she needs back. Any help is appreciated!

    Yeah I thought I should have before doing the update but with no warning on Apples behalf of the chance of files going missing I thought I would have been safe, especially as I backed up my iPhone before hand.
    Other people have been able to access their photos by using software like iPhone Explorer but even by looking in the file structure of my iPhone, none of the photos are there. I guess this just means I'll have to forget about the photos, and start again.
    I think it's just weird how I still have 45 photo stream photos on my device, just none in the camera roll. :(

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B)  Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center (little bell)

  • Lost music after update to 11.1

    When I updated itunes, I lost a significant portion of my music, especially my podcasts. These podcasts are not re-downloadable as they are only offered for one week before changing.
    I followed the instructions for restoring lost library items following an update found in previous threads and in apple support. These instructions restored the *file names* of lost music, but I have discovered that the instructions did not restore the files. I have tried to manually find the files and cannot find them on my computer. I am furious with myself that I trusted apple and updated itunes before performing a full system back-up.
    Can anyone give me any hope for my lost library?
    thank you

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.
    Regards

  • After updating to ios 7, iTunes Match doesn't work on iPhone 4

    I updated to ios 7 on my iPhone 4 last night.
    I purchased iTunes Match today.  Everything has been uploaded through my computer, and everything is fine on my computer's end.  But when I open up my music app on my iPhone 4, I get a screen that says Loading iTunes Match...  and it stays there for hours. Without ever having my music pop up.

  • After updating to iOS my camera app disappeared. How can i get it back?

    I updated my Iphone 3Gs to the new system iOS, and after doing this I noticed there was no longer a camera on my phone. I attempted to sync my phone to the computer, reset my screen settings, and even restore my phone. Nothing has helped. I attempted to download a new camera app in the apple store but it does not work without the original iPhone camera.

    None of the included apps can be deleted.
    Is Restrictions enabled at Settings > General > Restrictions?
    If so, is Camera turned on as a Restriction?

  • Lost color after updating to 8.1.1 on my 5c   How can this be fixed

    how many times do I have to ask a question?
    i Lost all color for all apps when n I update d to 8.1.1

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
