Deleted music after update

I recently updated my ipod and had to backup and transfer all of my music and video content. After synching my ipod and finishing the update, over half of my music was gone. All of my personal music (not bought on itunes) except one albulm and all of my music videos, movies, and tv episodes were deleted. How can I recover my content?

Aren't they on the computer? Check the 'about' menu on the iPod and make sure they are gone. If you restore the iPod they should all come back, providing they are on the computer, of course.

Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

Hi
I have the excact same problem, however the problem is in my case not the upgrade in Frontrow, as the trouble was present before aswell. Everything works fine for me ONCE, but if i return to my desktop after having activated frontrow, and then reactivate it, i get the same error as you. I can solve the problem by Quiting FR and then relaunching it again, but this is not acceptable.

I cannot delete cookies after updating to 9.0.1, also when opened, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear when FF is closed.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, the same thing happens. Checked my Profile, cookies.sqlite is there when FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-shm, along with cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason I can't delete cookies? Also I have, and have had enabled AdBlock Plus and Privacy Browsing. After updating, I can't post anything to FF Support (this is my 4th attempt, finally used Safari to post) and files under Tools, such as Clear History are accessible, I shouldn't have a History to delete.
(1st edit)
OK. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 from Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things are working like they should. I have no cookies listed, except the ones I want. Private Browsing is working properly. However, I still have those 2 extra cookie files; -wal and -shm.
(2nd edit)
I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and the site cookies are eliminated, not there, gone. Now I can't login to anything and am back to Safari to access FF Support Forum. Do I have a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop-up elimination that Firefox has; nor, do they have the level of customization that Firefox has. The 2 extra cookie files, -wal and -shm, are still there when FF is open, and gone again when FF is closed. One more thing I noticed, I have a Chrome Support Application file in my Library. Could the Chrome cookie file interfere with FF cookies? I wouldn't think so, I have Safari, as well, and neither browser has ever interfaced with the other before.
(3rd edit)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all of my add-ons and also tried deleting the cookies.sqlite document from the FF Profile file, to no avail. I have counted, there are 14 sites listed in the Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies pane (no pun intended) and they are all "ad" sites. These sites are also listed as blocked sites in Adblock Plus. Until someone answers, I give up, I don't know what else to do. There was only the one time that the cookies were gone from the Show Cookies pane, every other time I uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone helps me, I'm stuck. The only thing I have not done is deleted the Profile file altogether. That is the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my bookmarks somewhere to move back after reinstallation. If this isn't rectified within a few days, I may just try that, too.

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
* TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
* Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
If you do then you need to disable or uninstall such an extension.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

I lost music after updating to iOS 7, iTunes can't find what can I do?

After updating my iPhone to ios7 I lost a lot of music in my phone and iTunes iTunes was updated too and music is still listed there but can not find.

I have the same problem which started after I upgraded to iOS 7. It works particularly bad on the iPhone 4. It is in "Loading iTunes Match" mode most of the time with no or very slow progress, and when it finally ends, the uploaded Playlists are never there, not one. "Loading iTunes Match" would restart again after leaving and restarting music, say 50% of the time. Not sure what really is being loaded and can't understand why it has to be reloaded so often.
I had a problem ticket with Apple Support, but the specialist asked for a series of screenshots documenting the start time of "Loading iTunes Match" and the eventual completion time. I told him to forget it because I had already spent too much time turning this and that on and off for so many times in so many days trying to listen to my own uploaded music and I did not want to fiddle around anymore. I have decided not to renew my iTunes Match service in November, and have since turned off iTunes Match on all my devices and gone back to syncing to keep things simple.
I also have Amazon Cloud Player which is working just fine for the purpose of having some kind of cloud access of my music. I will be renewing this $24 service this month for another year instead of iTunes Match.
Apple was supposed to be very good at software development, and for them not resolving a problem in a paid service since the rollout of iOS 7 is just disappointing.

Can't sync music after updating to latest version of itunes.

everything syncs but my music after upgrade. songs only show up in icloud and are not synced when i connect my ipod touch to my pc. how can i fix this?

After upgrading to 4.0b5 today, my sound is acting very strange also.
I run my audio out via the headphone jack, and now when FireFox should be playing a sound - suddenly the audio is routed through the computer speakers for a second and then it switches back to the headphones.
Everything is playing through the headphones fine, but when FireFox has audio to play - it routes it through the computer speakers instead and then toggles back over to the headphones.
Note - the FIREFOX sounds do NOT play when this happens, but any audio im playing on the computer other than with FireFox DOES play when it switches back and forth between the computer speakers and the headphone jack.
As others have mentioned I also got that error message after updating that said 'Alert' and something about a process that could not be completed, or something to that effect. I searched the message earlier and it said there was an fix in the works for it already - I hope the fix for whatever that was will fix this funky audio problem.

Missing music after updating iTunes and iPhone os

After updating to the latest iTunes, I have lost huge amounts of music, and I can't find them on my computer at all. We wanted to install the latest OS on our phones, and to do so, you need the latest itunes version. After intalling the latest itunes, and subsequently the latest software for the iphones, a large amount of the music has disappeared. It has all come off of the iMac (which holds our entire library) and includes a mixture of purchased from two different accounts and songs from CDs that have been imported.
I have tried searching for the files on my computer and they cannot be located. Stranger still, I have Apple's Time Machine and have looked back to before the update, and they aren't there either, which is completely bazaar as they are in the itunes library and we used to listen to them on this computer? Is it possible that the files names have become corrupt and the tracks are there but don't associate with the names?
Please can anyone help?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
Regards.

Lost my apps and music after updating to the new OS

I lost my apps and music on my 3GS after updating to the new 5.0.1 OS. I can see all my apps and music on my laptop iTunes, but can't get the phone to sync. Any ideas??

What happens when you try to sync?

Can't find my old music after updating to iTunes9

I am running Windows7 64-bit. I was having a LOT of trouble getting iTunes to open once I "updated" to the newest iTunes. After about a week of trying I finally got iTunes to open (after disabling "Bonjour").
Now that I have iTunes open, I can not find my some of my music and I can't open the music that is on my iPod. While trying everything to get iTunes to open, I may have deleted somethings...
Is there any way I can re download the albums I've already purchased from iTunes without paying for them again? Or is there somewhere on my computer that I should be looking for these songs? And how can I get iTunes to know that the content on my iPod belongs to this iTunes without deleting everything on the iPod?
I have been working with issues surrounding iTunes every since I "Updated" to iTunes9 and will never update iTunes again!
Please let me know if anyone knows the answers to any of my questions.
Thanks,
Craig

ITunes changing the ID3 tags and deleting music after syncing or opening

After syncing (or opening iTunes), iTunes changes the tags in about 25% of my music (this time it was about 90% affected). It removes the total track number on some of the songs. This has been a consistent problem. I noticed that it also actually erased some of my music, random tracks in my library are now missing (gone in windows explorer also). I have reformatted my iPod and restored it, it's not that. What is going on!! Going through and fixing 7500 songs every time I sync is ******* me off
Here is a picture of what it is doing: removing the total track on some songs
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/jupiterssj4/itunes.jpg
Forgot to mention that it also copied the artist field data to the album artist field... had to erase all of those too

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time I click on a song. Weird letter-number strings are inserted into the Comments field, my album art is gone, and the track numbers are messed up.
I've tried upgrading to the new iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I turned off my soundcheck option and deleting potentially comprised files. Nothing's worked.
I've tried emailing Apple directly and got no help. Anyone know what's going on???

Lost all my purchased music after update!

I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone. If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone. Music has never been included in the iPhone backup. (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?

Deleting email after update

After todays update I have all my old emails (over 900) that come back as new emails even though they have been previously deleted. I have reset the phone to no luck. I have been told to back up my phone or take it to the Apple store. Has anyone encountered this yet?

I doubt that it's a bug because it works for me, and I haven't seen any other reports in the forums. First try a reset, then a restore.

HT204406 Lost purchased music after update

Hi,
I updated my iphone just last week after 11 months of not updating. I have just noticed that since the update I have lost music that I have purchased from itunes. I don't know how much music is missing, however it seems to be quite a bit of recently purchased music. How can I retrieve this music? When I go onto iTunes and look at songs I know I have purchased it says "buy now" not "install" or "download" so it looks like it will charge me again of I try. I won't be impressed at all if I have to purchase all the music I'm missing again. Not only that, I don't know how much music is missing.
Please tell me there is a way to get it all back!

Why is it not in your itunes library? If you purchase any content on your phone, you MUST File>Transfer purchases to get the content into your itunes library. The itunes content sync is ONE WAY: computer to phone. You can re-download purchased apps for free. For the rest of your purchased content, contact itunes support, plead your case, beg...they "may" let you re-download it, but the decision is theirs:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
For future reference: the iphone should NOT be used as a storage device, things can & will happen. If you purchase content on your phone, ALWAYS File>Transfer Purchases as soon as possible. Likewise, your itunes library should be regularly backed up.
