IPhone says "No Music" "No Videos" but........arrrrggggghhhhh I'm so tired

Last night I finally thought i'd figured out how to get music and video onto my phone. It worked but then it stopped working while driving down the road. The iPhone then began telling me that it contained none of the things that i'd just been using minutes before. "No Music" "No Video" "No Playlists". When I got home I plugged it in and it synced. I can see the playlists in iTunes but everything is Greyed out. It shows as taking up space but the iPhone still says "no music" "no video". This is really really frustrating. Really really FRUSTRATING. Apple? Can you help me?

I can confirm this as well. My songs and videos and podcasts were loaded yesterday, but after removing from the dock after overnight charging this morning, the iPod function indicated that there was no content, even though the "About.." option in the iPhone settings showed all of the iPhone space was being utilized but also reported 0 songs and 0 videos. After powering the iPhone off (hold the sleep button until the red power off slider appears and turn off) and powering back on, essentially a reboot, all of my song and video content reappears. Maybe it has something to do with the overnight docking/sync and interaction with iTunes?
Hopefully others who experience this can find this post before they lose hope. Other than this glitch, the iPhone has been spectacular...like an artifact from the future.

  • So With All my apps i am using less than 300mb no music no videos, but my iPad is saying that I have used 13.1gb how can I get that lost space?

    Did you confirm this in Settings>General>Usage>Storage? You can see how much storage space each app is taking up. If that checks out with your findings, then your space is probably being taken up by "other". You can see this when you connect your iPad to your computer and with iTunes running. You can see it in the capacity bar at the bottom of the iTunes window on the right side.
    "Other" contains most of the stuff associated with apps but not the apps or any media itself. Safari history and bookmarks, contacts, notes, text messages, email messages and so on. When "other" takes up that much space, something is wrong and usually restoring the iPad will clear that up.
    Backup the iPad, transfer purchases, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes to retrieve everything.

  • HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes.  How do I actually manage music?

    Edit: classic Apple.

    If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
    I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

    recently I can no longer play my music on my iphone 5.  Music is there but skips around if I try to play.
    does anyone know a fix?

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,

  • Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

    Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

    i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x.  vista could see xp home share.  ipod touch could see xp home share.
    neither could see vista home share.
    after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
    i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions.  itunes was already in my vista exception list.  on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
    something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
    it worked for me, i hope this helps others

    Check the cleanliness of your docking port: if necessary, clean it out with a dry toothbrush and/or canned air. Carefully. Don't mess up those contacts.

    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to unsync the music and then try syncing the songs to the iPod
    - Last would be to restore from backup.

  • My iPhone says there are 19 videos on it, but there aren't help?

    I had a 32gb iPhone before and opted to go with the 16gb this time. The very first time I synced the phone with my library I was surprised by how much I had to take off, but did it and moved on.
    Today after having the phone a couple of weeks I went into Settings -> General -> About and it says I have 19 videos on the phone. But I don't. I have one movie on the phone, zero TV show, zero music Videos, etc.
    How can I figure out where/what these videos are so I can remove them to free up some space?
    Thank you!!

    I can't believe I didn't think of that!
    It says 228mb which is the exact size of the one movie I have on there.
    So the About still states that there are 19 videos and I'm not sure why, but at least I know that they aren't taking up any space.
    Thanks very much!

  • When i plug my ipod up, itunes says it has all the music and videos, but when i unplug it to listen to them, it says it has nothing on it

    I just had to reover my Ipod original and now im moving all of my music and videos back onto it, and when i have it plugged into Itunes, everything shows up on the ipod.  when i unplug it though, it says i have no videos, music, etc. help? I don't want to lose this thing, it was too expensive.

    Hello kittypie,
    You may need to restore your iPod to factory defaults.
