Bug: All music disappeared (gone) after app crash

I had 3000+ songs in my music collection. I was in the Alarm app and the alarm sound option. I selected a sound/song from my music collection (heard the sample music). Then I changed my mind and selected a different song. The Alarm App froze. I pressed the home button, restarted the Alarm app and tried again. This time, there was no music to select. I exited the alarm app and clicked on my Music app. All music gone. Went to Settings, General, About...the Song count = 0.
I don't know whether this is a hardware or software problem, but the fact that something so basic is even possible, is quite worrying. Anyone else had similar strange experiences?

Me too!
As a brand new iPod user, I have to say, I'm not impressed. Most of my library was ripped from original CDs. I hope they can be found on my system somewhere and fixed. And fast!
I am travelling overseas for three months tomorrow and now can't take my tunes with me.
Not good.
Does Apple monitor this board?

Purchased music gone after PC crash

Hi
Hope someone can help. I had a PC crash and had to reinstall everything from scratch. My purchased music has gone, how do I get it back? I've bought it, I have the record of it in "Purchased", but how can I get it from iTunes again without having to buy it again? Many thanks

I had the exact same thing happen to me, I emailed apple about it and they replyed saying they put all of my bought songs in a "Download queue". Any songs I bought that were later modified at the iTunes Store they could not do but in my case none had been modified. once they had set up a download queue all I had to do is hit Advance at the top of iTunes and select "Check For Purchases". I would recommend doing that first to see if that works, if not email apple and Im sure they will set up a download queue for you. Goto this link http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/lostmusic/ at the bottom of the page is where you can fill out some basic info and email them about your problem. This is where I went to email and then redownload all my bought songs. once you have done that make sure you back up all the songs you have bought to a CD, DVD or External Hard drive.

Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed. itune store doesn't show all my purchases. How do I get all my music back?

Browse your iTunes folder. Do you have files in folder in your media folder? In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

All music disappears from iPhone 5 when managing manually

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.2, and a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, iTunes version 12.1.50.
I have my iPhone configured to manage my music manually. Recently, while moving an album from my iTunes library onto my iPhone (phone physically connected to the computer), all the music stored on my iPhone disappeared. Surprised and frustrated, I began the task of moving the albums I wanted over to my phone. The music transferred fine up to a point, and then all music on my iPhone disappeared again (i.e., nothing shows up in the Music app). I also noticed that the "other" category in the memory usage bar was suddenly very large... many GBs.
Things I've tried so far:
Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone to factory settings and then restoring apps from iCloud backup.
After doing the above, I still get the same behavior: after transferring 4-5 GB of music, it suddenly ceases to be visible to the Music app on my iPhone, and the "other" memory category is huge. The only way I've found to reduce the "other" category back to a normal size is to restore my phone to factory settings, which is frustrating.
I'd love to once more be able to move as much music as I want onto my phone without it all disappearing on me. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I'm going crazy here! I open my iPhone and all my music is gone! It's showing up as if it's there but when I go to play it the music is gone. I tried to reload everything and it will show up but then for some reason it starts to delete on it's own. Have all the recent updates.

Apps gone after apps update

All my purchased and downloaded apps are gone after updating some of them from the App Store, how do I retrieve them back?

All music is gone but "other" space is full

My iPod was messing up so I reset it.
I went home and reset it (holding down the center button and menu button) while it was plugged in (mistake) and after that all my music was gone. However, when I go to memory, there's still 113 gb of "other" space taken up. This is a 120 gb ipod classic.
Is there any hope of recovering my music or do I have to restore?

Could you explain in more detail what exactly is your situation? Do you mean that the "Purchased Items" playlist is missing from iTunes? Or that the tracks you purchased aren't shown in the iTunes Library any more? Or do you mean something else? If you'll provide a more precise description of what's going on, perhaps we can offer suggestions.

Updated itunes today now all music is gone, completely gone

Please help. My daughter and I have been purchasing songs from the i tunes store for years and this morning when we updated it it now says welcome... and all the music is gone, completely gone. I have tried to go back to a previous library but they are very small files. We had GIGS of music! Where did it all go and why does i tunes do this??? My daughter synced her iPod yesterday but with only a couple play lists not the whole library now our years of adding and sorting songs are gone!

The first thing to try is this:
No content after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967?viewlocale=en_US
If that doesn't work, where do you keep your music files? Is it in the standard location which is the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder, or somewhere else such as an external drive?
You need to check in your music folder to see if your music files are still there. They almost always will be.

Camera API problem after app crashed (winrt)

Dear Sirs.
I am developing windows phone runtime app (8.1) and testing it on my Nokia Limia 520 smartphone.
I work with Camera Api (CameraPreviewImageSource from Nokia.Graphics.Imaging (Nokia Imaging SDK v 1.2.151 from NuGet)). But I think this package is not important info.
Sometimes, after using camera api many times, for instance more than 30th the app crahes. The reason of app crash in my view not important too. (Of course it is important but I ask about restore phone state after the app crashes because it may happens after
the memory consumption exception for example)
I think because app crahes I don't call Dispose method for Camera Api and after I restart the app I see the green screen in the view where I use camera api to show user images from the camera. Also I see the green screen when I launch the standart app for capturing
photo.
It will fix only when I restart the phone.
I have tried to do the following things:
1) Add handler for OnSuspending event:
private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
//cleanup camera resources
await CleanupCaptureResourcesAsync();
deferral.Complete();
2) Add handler for OnUnhandledException event:
private void OnUnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
e.Handled = true;
CleanupCaptureResourcesAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
if (rootFrame!=null) rootFrame.Navigate(typeof (BlankPage11), null);
CleanupCaptureResourcesAsync method:
public async Task CleanupCaptureResourcesAsync()
if (CameraPreviewImageSource != null)
CameraInitialized = false;
await CameraPreviewImageSource.StopPreviewAsync();
CameraPreviewImageSource.Dispose();
CameraPreviewImageSource = null;
It is works when I relaunch the app (manualy close and start it again). But when exception occurs it is not works.
Could you please help me? How can I handle an exception, or if it not possible in some ways (as I have read at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn532194.aspx) is there any way to restore Camera Api after app launched again (after crash)?
Best regards,
Aleksandr Terentev

Thank you for your answer.
However, I think the WinDebug wouldn’t help me enough. Because apps may crash in many situations. In my view I need either app global exception mechanism for the purpose of releasing camera api by calling Dispose method when an exception
occurs or mechanism for restoring the state of the phone camera api after app has crashed.
Yes, I can save the realtime app status but it wouldn’t help. Because when you try to initialize camera api again it wouldn’t work because the app didn’t call Dispose method and didn’t release the phone camera api.
This situation is described in the MSDN article:
“It is extremely important that you properly shut down and dispose of the MediaCapture object and related objects when your app is suspended. Failure to do so could interfere with other apps accessing the device's camera which will
result in a negative user experience for your app.”
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn642092.aspx)
But when the app crashes, OnSuspending event won’t be triggered, in my view. Therefore, after this no one app can use the camera and you have to restart your phone.

Where has my music library gone after latest update?

Hi - recently updated to the lates version of iTunes and it's lost the library content apart from one album and a few tracks I had downloaded as MP3 files then imported. The songs are still all there if you go into the windows files but iTunes isn't picking them up anymore. Can anyone help? Do I just need to re-import?
Thanks in advance

Lost all Subclips from project after system crash

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and tried to find an answer but I'm not seeing it so I apologize if this is covered somewhere else.
I've been using Premiere Pro (CS4) for a couple of years. I've made extensive use of SUBCLIPS for projects and I found they helped organize the building a complex sequence in several documentaries and they have worked well for me - until my system crashed. While the project opens and I find all media, I find that all SUBCLIPS are gone. Have I lost them forever? Can they be recovered?
I have built a new system and installed my old data hard drives, but I have a newly loaded C-drive. I am running Windows 7 on both the new and the dead system. I can still extract data from the old C-drive if needed.
I am wondering just how Subclips are stored. They do not appear to be files – where do they live? Can they be transferred?
I would really like to avoid the number of hours it will take to rebuild those subclips.
Thanks!

Not all music showing up after Match

I recently subscribed to the iTunes Match service. Let it run overnight to match and upload my songs. I woke up in the morning, and my library was about 500 songs smaller!
Music Library: 1582 songs, 6.73 GB
Thankfully I had all my songs backed up, although this proved to be unnecessary, as the music IS still there upon further examination
All Music smart playlist: 2039 songs, 5.5 days, 8.89 GB
How odd. I created a smart playlist to easily identify which songs were and which songs were not in the Music Library
Now there is a very definite pattern: All the songs not included in the Library are those that (for whatever reason) couldn't be matched
1 ineligible song + 457 uploaded songs.
Most of those songs I know are in the iTunes store, so I am not sure why they aren't matched to begin with.

Are those apps purchased using a different Apple ID?
On iPhone, start App Store app, tap Updates (bottom right) > tap Purchased > tap Not on This iPhone
are those apps there?

All my apps and music are gone after i updated to 5.0.1

i did back up my ipodtouch before i updated it. all my musics and apps are gone and only thing it backed up is my pics, contacts, and some other stuff. is there anyway i can get my apps and musics back?

You said you did a backup...
iCloud backup or iTunes backup?
Also, two suggestions for next time:
Software updates can be done right from your device, under Settings > General > Software Update if you have iOS 5 or later. This usually prevents a lot of problems users typically run in to when updating in iTunes.
When updating in iTunes, even though your restore may seem complete, it is still restoring your apps, music, etc. Please be sure that it is absolutely complete before unplugging.

All my songs and videos gone after app transfer to my laptop (iOS 5.0)

All my songs (about 1800 songs/12GB) and videos (10gb) have disappeared while two of my apps, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2 were being transferred from my iPod to my laptop. I guess they were being transferred since they have been updated and I haven't synced my ipod into my laptop for a while. But today while it was trasferring, it said that I'm running out of storage continuously and later on I saw that the transfer was done, but my songs and videos were gone! And my last backup was like when the iOS first came out, so it would mean nothing to restore from backup right now.
I can see all of the songs and videos that were on the iPod still on iTunes, but when i click on them, it shows the exclamation mark which means that they have been disappeared or something... Any help please?

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder (on a Mac) and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption of the iPod database (as seems likely here) it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.
