After upgrading to IOS 5.0.1 my music and movies are gone - I have only one song.  Sync does not put my media back

I upgraded my Iphone4 to IOS 5.0.1 when plugged into my fully-patched OS X Lion-version Mac.  I  no longer have any movies and only one song on my phone.  Itunes says I have all of my movies and music, but my phone does not show it.  I do have my books (but not audiobooks)

I made a work around.  Set my phone to not sync music and movies in itunes.  Sync phone.  Set my phone to sync music and movies in itunes.  Sync phone.
It is very time consuming though.
And, what else is set incorrectly somewhere and I do not know it?  There was also a very weird glitch - where "Albums" is listed in when running the music app in IOS5 (5.0.1), it instead had had the name of the one song!  That is now also fixed.

  • After upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes 11 on my PC, I plugged my iPhone into my PC and got the error message that I needed to install iTunes 11 on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

    You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well.  It was buggy for me.
    I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
    Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
    Just had to try everything.  As final choice, update over the air.  I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.

  • After updating to iOS 8 all of my files in Pages are gone!!!! Where are they? And how do I get them back?

    After updating my iPad to iOS 8 all my files in Pages and Numbers are gone!!! Where are they and how do I get them back?

    If you didn't configure Windows Phone backup option or use VZW Backup Assistant then all is lost.
    If you did go with Windows Phone native backup and you use an Outlook account you should find your photos and videos on OneDrive.  I'm not sure how much VZW Backup Assistant backs up but you would need to start a restore from that software and see what's preserved.
    With any OS installs/updates a backup is always best to first.

  • IPad2: After upgrad to iOS 8, video output lost left and right side

    I have a cable for my iPad2, once plugged in the bottom slot, it outputs video to TV Component port and audio to my amplifier. It's been working for years. After iOS 8 upgrade, I notice the video output lost left and right side. It's like
    [before iOS 8]     Apple iPad is a wonderful product for me.
    [after upgrade]             iPad is a wonderful product
    The "Apple" on the left, and "for me." on the right of screen is gone in output.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s, the events in photo album have changed order

    After upgrading iPhone 5S to iOS 8, the order of events on iPhone have changed from alphabetic to random. I want to restore them to alphabetic order. Pls help

    The problem is, that you obviously upgraded to iCloud Drive which cannot be changed again. This means that if you would downgrade your devices again, that you would lose access to your files from your Mac + your iOS devices.
    At the moment, until OS X Yosemite will be released, you should be able to access your files via your Mac at the www.cloud.com at least.

  • After upgrading to iOS5 all the pictures in my camera roll are gone. Please help.

    I synced my phone through itunes prior to upgrading to iOS5. Then the upgrade also backed up the phone. Upon the upgrade completing I was browsing through my phone and noticed that all the photos that were in my camera roll are nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same problem. I bought an iPod Touch 4G 64GB last June. After upgrading to the new iOS 5, most of my pictures, apps and music is gone. Every time I try and recover my backup the system crashes. I tried to call their technical support to restolve the problem but I was told that I had to pay $29 to solve the problem that they created. This is a disgrace.
    People are saying restore the iPod but with mine that didn't help.

  • When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly.  Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

    I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone.  After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC.  It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
    Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library. 
    Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
    Thanks!!

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • No Service on iPad2 after upgrade to iOS 8. Turning device off and on resolves the issue, but after a while No Service again. Any advice?

    TUrning it off and on temporarily resolves the issue, so after a while No Service appears again. Any advice?

    Add me to the list. iOS 8 caused the 3G on my iPad to drop out. No Service shows up and the cell number disapears.
    Rebooting or resetting Network Connections restores service for a time.
    Then the iOS 8.01 comes out and causes the same issue with iPhone 6.
    Two two things are for sure: Apple is slipping and the upgrade has serious issues. Oh, and I thought flip phones were dead. iPhone 6 bends into a flip phone. Sometimes I crack myself up.

    I have upgraded itunes on m computer to 10.5. When I connected my iphone to the computer I was told that ios 5 is ready to be downloaded, and that I should back  up my iphone before doing the download. I did. Now I want to get my iphone back on and it just can't . The screen lights up, i select language and network but it tells me that my phone cannot be activated because the activation service is temporarily unavailable. what do i do?

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • After upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 recent calls are not showing

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?? At first it was working fine but suddently all the recent call info dissapeared and you don't know how much you use it until it is gone... As with everything.

  • Having downloaded and installed the latest Maverick Ios I now have a problem with mail.All my mailboxes were in alphabetical order now they are arrange randomly under my mail account, sync does not rearrange them whilst the order in the ISP account is in

    I have downloaded Maverick 10.9 and installed , now my mailboxes in mail are randomly arranged as opossed to being in alphebetical order from A at the top to Z at the bottom how do you rearrenge the mailboxes in an alphbetical order.
    Sync with my provider Gmail does not rearrange them on my Imac

    Thanks for that .
    My actual problem I may not have made very clear - sorry.
    i.e.
    [email protected]
    AA insurance
    Xero
    apple
    building
    insurance
    etc.
    Shows the way the mailboxes are listed in the mail program under any particular provider, in my case I have three mail provider accounts with mail moved from the inbox to the appropraite mailbox eg [email protected] , Xero - where the incomeing mail is filed.
    My problem is to arrange these mailboxes/folders in an alphabetical order under the [email protected] account

  • I can't seem to get my Windows 7 Box to "see" the NAS where my music and movies are stored.  This ran fine on W XP.  After I installed iTunes on my new machine, I can't get it to "see/recognize" the NAS drive.  5 other computers can.  Any Ideas ?

    I have a mix of Apple and Windows Boxes.  The primary NAS is a 2TB Buffalo Unit.  The back-up NAS is a QNAP with 6TBs (set up as Raid 5).  Until I removed my old 32 Bit Dell machine today, all the rooms in the house got excellent delivery of audio or video, via Apple TVs, which then run into DACs and amps, and the  rest of the gear.  The 32 Bit Box was failing on some boots, so I got a new machine.  I installed 64 Bit iTunes on it, but cannot get it to recognize the NAS Box. It's like the setting took, as I can see it, however, it "appears" that iTunes is looking elsewhere for the media.  I would really prefer not to reload all 850 CDs, and redownload the 56 movies from iTunes.
    Is there something that changed in 64 Bit iTunes ?  years ago, iTunes would sometimes boot and really want to find the music under Documents and Settings..... but that seemed to sort itself out.

  • After logging on you yahoo this am, my calendar and notepad are gone. When I click on them I just get a blank screen. I am not very computer literate and need help getting them back.

    When I usually go into yahoo mail, there is an icon at the top left hand side to access my calendar and notepad. They are both gone, but there is a field in the bottom left corner that has the buttons. When I click on either one, I just get a blank screen. I've not updated by Firefox to a new version and can't imagine what happened overnight.

    This sounds more like it's a temporary problem with Yahoo's mail website. My advice at this point is to see if this fixes itself within a few hours. If not, please come back (actually, do come back regardless and let us know if your problem is solved).

  • I updated to iOS 5.0 and all my information and music and apps are gone i want it back HELP!!!!!!

    I back up whit my last ipod and it does not work

    - It sounds like the music, apps and other stuff were not on yur computer/in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update.  Thise items are not in the backup that iTunes make and are alway synced to the iPod during the latter parts of the update/restore process.
    - Your always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as yu are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    - If you are inthe USA and other places when iCloud is working, you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
