All music gone after update

After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

  • All music gone after update to 4.2 !

    After i updated to 4.2 Nothing shows up when I load the ipod app. It just says " no content".
    It will take me awhile to re-download my playlists and 300 songs.

  • All ipad Music gone after update to ios5 please advise

    Did a backup before and restore after and ZERO songs. Dreadful please advise

    Restore from the backup you make of your computer because you have such valuable things on it.  I ripped my vinyl 15 years ago and the first thing I did was buy backup drives and kept them in a separate part of the house.

  • Music gone after update

    I had music on my Ipod that was stored on my old computer.  I updated my ipod from a different computer.  Now all my music is gone.  My old computer still works but it won't recognize my ipod.  Any suggestions?
    thanks,

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Also see:
    iPod not recognised by windows iTunes
    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    NOTE:
    You will have to backup the iPod to the old computer and then restore from backup since you can only sync with one computer and the updating computer is now your syncing computer

  • All Presets gone after Update from 3.4.1 to 3.5

    Just updated LR 3.4.1 on a Man to 3.5. After I put the LR.app inti the App-Folder and started LR all of my presets were deleted.
    They were saved in the /user/library/application support/etc. folder before and now they're gone (unfortunately I didn't saved my presets within the catalog)
    I'm very annoyed about this because I have changed 12 export presets some days ago and haven't ran time machine after it.
    I wasn't aware, that an update LR will kill my presets. Is there any way to get them back?
    Thx
    Stefan

    In your OS find and look into the folder where your presets were stored previously. If you can still see them you're in luck. Just copy them to the new LR Presets folder.
    Otherwise you're OOL. You know the remedy for this already: store your presets with the catalog.

  • All music gone after backup- totally lost!

    I have somehow managed to lose all my iTunes music. Over 8000 songs. I made a backup with SuperDuper to external hard disk and after that only some music was left. There seems to be however files left because space on my laptop has not freed.
    When I'm trying to find some artist/songs using spotlight I can get result as many iTunes Music Library.xml-files. So this might means that music exists but where?
    How do I know which is the right file and how can I get my music back?
    I have read all possible in this group but didn't find a right solution.
    Could you all experts please help!
    Thank you in advance!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Not sure what you did - I use SuperDuper! and I've never seen that before.
    What are your settings in SD!?
    Also, if you backed up to an external drive, you should be able to mount the drive and find everything as it is on your Mac.
    Look there first.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

    same problem here!!!!!

  • Please help! Restarted iTunes, all music gone and my backup won't work ...

    Hi,
    please can anybody help me...
    I am using iTunes 5.0.1.4 on Windows XP with service pack 2.
    Today I restarted iTunes and the library is empty. All music gone, all playlists gone.
    I checked the FAQs and older articles and tried everything (reloading the itl file etc.), but nothing worked. Seems when restarting iTunes has overwritten the itl file with an empty one.
    The iTunes Folder is still there with all MP3s still in it. So I could just let iTunes read the folder and by this rebuild the library.
    But what about the playlists? I had almost a hundred different playlists, and now they are all gone.
    I exported the library to an XML file a few weeks ago and made a backup copy of this. Now tried to import it again. iTunes did so, but it just added the names of the playlists to its list - however, they are all empty!
    What am I doing wrong? And how can I get the playlists back?
    Many thanks in advance for any hints!

    Make sure your importing the XML file correctly.
    Close iTUnes, goto My Music>iTunes folder and delete BOTH the xml and itl file.
    Now open iTUnes and import the backup XML file you have by going to File>import and selecting the XML file from backup

  • Hi, may i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6

    Hi,
    May i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6 and all my data lost ?

    You can restore the phone and when prompted to restore choose from icloud account. BUT MAKE SURE there is 1.) an icloud backup for your phone. 2.) you are using the same apple id.

    Why don't you want to follow up with your previous thread?
    It'll be confusing when you started multiple threads linking to the issue.
    Sorry, I haven't posted here much so I'm not familiar with the protocols. I just thought it would be less confusing to make this a separate issue. I linked them to avoid duplicating info on my config & h/w

  • SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings

    Hello All
    SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings back .
    I donot know what is SID ( System ID ), Instance etc.
    If this is not relevant to this forum plz let me know which forum ....

    Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
    Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
    I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.
