All music files vanished / deleted !!!

I've been loading music onto my 5800 over the last few weeks, and suddenly its all vanished!! I had over 200 songs, each album in its own folder on the memory card E: and all thats left is the Nokia music content that was shipped witht the phone. 
I used file manager appto look and even connected to my pc to browse E: but nothing - not a single folder left. Anyone else heard of this happening????????

Happened to me too.. But don't panic. Just perform a hard reset on your phone (after backing up your contacts onto your sim memory and backing up your imp. messages)..
This is how it's done: 
1) Switch off your phone after all the backup mentioned above.
2) Keeping the Green key, Red key and the Camera key pressed, switch on your phone, and keep the above buttons pressed together until the Nokia holding hands screen appears.
3) You're done and now you'll have to set up your phone from the beginning. Check your music player. All your songs should be there. Worked for me.
Hope this helps..

  • I updated my Ipod touch from 4.1 to 6.1. All music files were deleted. How can I transfer music from my laptop back to my Ipod touch?

    How do I transfer music files from my laptop to my Ipod Touch?

    The only way to get it fixed is to contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked.  You will need to find out:
    1) IF the carrier offers unlocking.  Not all carriers do
    2) IF the carrier indeed offers unlocking, what the requirements are.  You might not fulfill them.

  • All music files vanish when battery runs out

    I bought a 60GB iPod six weeks ago. I use it a lot and as expected have had to charge the battery a few times.
    The last two times the battery has run out the clock resets to 1 January 2000 and all the music files disappear.
    The music files are still there (I've loaded 45GB so far and the disk capacity shows this) but don't appear or become playable until I next synch with iTunes.
    While this isn't a huge problem, it is very frustrating - the first time it happened I was a few days into a 2-week holiday and, not being able to take my PC with me, spent the rest of the trip without music.
    Any advice, besides buying a laptop?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
    Just curious - are you using iTunes 6? In any event, a Restore will probably correct the problem. BTW, I'm not an expert on batteries, but I think I've read that you shouldn't let it run completely out. Here's a bunch of links on the topic:

  • Media Transfer 1.41 deletes all music files

    When i updated media transfer to 1.41 this problem apeared:
    it first deletes all music files on the phone before it syncs them.
    If i sync one mp3 file it takes 1-2 hours for media sync to first delete all files ant then copy all files to the phone.
    (I have over 4gig of music on my memory card.)
    I did not have this problem with the 1.4 version.

    I have a few comments/bug reports (I have also submitted these through the app).
    BUGS:
    1. The app seems to force conversion of perfectly normal AAC files created in iTunes (.m4a). The files are converted to... AAC!!!
    There is no need for this conversion as the files play fine on the phone (N95)
    Both files created with iTunes standard ACC settings and with a custom VBR settings are converted.
    MP3 files are transferred without conversion.
    2. Bookmarked AAC files (.m4b) are not converted or transferred (they are ignored) - many podcasts use this format and they play fine in iTunes and QuickTime.
    (Edit - it seems iTunes and OS X treat these files as protected, even though they are not - also the N95 will not play the files if copied without conversion).
    FEATURE/ENHANCEMENT REQUESTS:
    1. User prefence for caching - I have a 4GB memory card and may not be interested in having everything on it cached on my computer. When using USB2 the connection should be fast enough for viewing/streaming from the phone.
    2. The viewing in the browser is a bit confusing - when e.g. the memory card is selected it shows a lot of different files from different folders (I have TOMTOM maps on the card so a lot of useless files are showing) It would be nice to either be able to select which files are shown, or just make the browser work normally, so it is only showing files in the current folder (selecting the memory card would show the root folder).
    3. Options for conversions (e.g. "Do not convert files with a bitrate below xxx kbps").
    I look forward to the next version - if the 2 bugs are fixed this is already a very solid app.
    Great to see real OS X support.Message Edited by peter321 on 09-Jun-200707:31 PM

  • After a backup all music files are invisible and iTunes don't see anything

    Hi,
    I got a very strange problem and I'm really lost.
    I made a backup of my portable iTunes libray (using a 160 GB Maxtor one touch 4 mini usb) on another backup disk (750 GB Maxtor onetouch III firwire 800). I have my library on a external disk to safe disk space on my MacBook Pro disk. For the back up I use the software Personal Backu4 of Intego Software. The 160GB iTunes disk is Formatted als Mac OS Extended format.
    Now all back up data that aren't music files (AAC or MP3 files) was correctly back up, but all music files was like deleted, all artist > album folders looks empty. But, cheking with the disk utility it looks that all files exist and the Used space (36.06 GB) looks correctly and the numbers of files too (some 5942 files). But all files are invisible, folders looks empty. Now is looks that all purchased and CD imported int my library didn't exist anymore: and this in BOTH disks, side by side is the same situation.
    How I can come out from this situation, I really don't have any idea how to coming out fron this sad situation.
    Hany help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
    After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
    Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
    iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.

  • 7.0.2 How to view all music files on iPod

    I upgraded my iTunes version on my Mac and now I am having some issues deleting songs off a playlist. Basically I have a podcast playlist and then I just have all my music dumped on the iPod not on a playlist. After I had finished listening to a bunch of the podcasts in my podcast playlist I would click on the iPod device in iTunes Source Tree and then I would see all music files on my iPod including podcasts. I could then delete them when I am ready. Now with 7.0.2 if I click on iPod I get the new fancy display showing my iPod Stats and stuff. If I click on my podcast playlist and delete the files it removes them from the playlist but they still actually reside on my iPod and no space is freed. How can I remove files off my iPod now in 7.0.2? I had iTunes 6.0 on a Windows machine and I was able to actually get the files off using the old version but I don't have access to this Windows machine too often so I really want to figure out how to remove files off a playlist permanently and gain access in iTunes to remove any files not associated with a playlist.

    Hey thanks for replying. That is the way the old iTunes did it but now any songs I move to my Podcast playlist I don't see show up in my Music category. I was using clicking on the chevron for Music but it still doesn't show any new files placed into my Podcast Playlist. If I sort by date added or modified I can't find them. If I search thru all the songs I still can't find the podcast files. I have an old 3G 20GB, I wonder if it is an issue with them because I can't believe nobody else has this issue.

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • Find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access, find all music files and move to one folder for all of family to access

    I seem to have music files in various places on my laptop, on my husbands computer and our main imac.  What we want to do is put all music on imac so when each of us logs on we have the same files availabe in itunes, but we logon seperately so we can have different playlists and checked music. So here is what I want to do:
    Find all music files on each computer seperately and put everything in one folder one each computer, so three folders total to start...
    Move my husbands itunes library and my itunes library from each of our laptops to our main imac, making one huge itunes folder
    I want to store our music on an external hard drive, which I have, so I have a full library for backup purposes.
    I want all future music downloaded on any of our laptops to transfer to the main imac computer, again to keep one main library
    I want all video, apps, books, etc on each laptop to be available in one file on my main imac also so we can all use them
    So mainly I want to organize, organize, organize and put everything in one spot so things don't get all messed up and some items are only accessible to me some times and not my husband or vice versa.  We want to share everything we can so we don't have to pay twice. I have read many instuctions, but nothing seems to be helping me and was hoping someone could...
    Thanks, l

    I am totally running into the same issue as well. On top of that, when syncing to my iPhone, it took some of the tracks from my iphone and recopied them to the iTunes library, as new files, so now I have a ton of duplicates, and tons of tracks that can't find the iTunes folder, so they have the little "!" next to them.
    It would be really nice to have someone answer this question. I didn't think, moving my iTunes library to a bigger external hard drive would have caused all this madness

  • New version of ITunes installed - Not all music files are being recognized

    My system crashed and Itunes was automatically 're-installed.' My music is located on my external hard drive. When I reconnected my music to ITunes about 3000 music files did not appear in my library. Before the re-install all music files were available in the library.
    The music files are all still located on my external hard drive. Strangely, when I copied my music on my external hard drive to create yet another back up of my music many music files were missing on the copy. The missing files were a combination of downloaded music from a cd and purchased, no trend.
    I welcome any advice on how I can get 1. my ITunes library to read all of my music files (which are in ITunes format) and 2. how do I copy all of my music on my external hard drive to make a safe back up (I-tunes back up is not an option because not all of the music appears in my library)
    Thanks for your help

    Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code.  The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again.  Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

    No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

  • Last iTunes update 10.2.2.12 deleted all music files and all artwork

    Within the last month I got a notice to upgrade Apple iTunes and Quicktime software which I did not thinking anything about it.  I have used myiPod since then but not in iTunes at all and no synching.  I have about 225 CD's loaded in iTunes plus some other music from Home Sharing that my son/daughter bought with our account in the iTunes store.  I recently got a new double CD requested for my birthday and decided to load it into iTunes and on my computer.  It had problems automatically recognizing the CD so I checked all the settings and they were correct rebooted my computer and one CD loaded not the other and had to reboot again to get the second to load.  But also I noticed ALL ALBUM ARTWORK was gone.  Both the album artwork I got from Apple and the Album artwork I loaded (the bulk of my CD's are older CD's so the Apple iTunes store does not have the artwork typically) was missing.  I thought that was a little odd but iTunes has done this before after updates but usually ONLY with the album artwork I loaded being missing.  In any case I tried Get Artwork via the iTunes sote and got error messages that Album artwork could not load.  I also then tried to load the artwork manually and iTunes music library rejected it.  Then I tried to play a song listed.  It said the song is not there.  Now all of my music is listed in my iTunes library, but apparently NONE of it is actually there.  I go to where iTuens Music Library and sure enough only the last 4 CD's are there.  Apparently the last Apple Update deleted all the music files, and all the artwork with it, yet still lists them in iTunes but they are nowhere to be found.  Before I go into my backup files on an external hard drive, it appears others are having this issue too, and I am wondering if anyone has actually got a simple fix from Apple or not.  . 

    Follow up - I could not locate any of the files on my "c" drive of my laptop.  Realizing that I am gonna probably have to reload everything from my external hard drive backup I went ahead and just started the process.  I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes software, which turned out to NOT be required at all as when I reopened iTunes all of the music files were again listed just as before but none of them were actually there or the artwork.  I then copied all the music files/folders over into the iTunes music folder and about 90% of them then showed up with about 98% of the artwork.  The other 10% just had to be matched up as the music was there but iTunes was not looking in the right location for it now, most likely different folder names.  So after about 6 hours I am back to having everything back on the computer and reorganized again.  I am now going to back up again (in multiple locations - 2 hard drives and I may add a flash drive backup too) and then do the inevitable scary Apple sync.  I find it funny that with other company's software that syncs, it actually syncs, where Apple sync software seems to look for items to delete from one source or the other during its sync. They really should rename it because it is not a true "sync".  In any case I was happy and surprised to find that about 98% of the artwork came through with the music which never used to happen in the past, so that saved a lot of time to say the least.  To anyone who ever does anything with Apple or Windows software updates, all I can say from years of experience now is backup, backup, backup, and backup prior to updating. 

  • How to delete all music files from iPhone4S

    I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?
    Bob

    You can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music.  Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.
