Had 120 songs on my iphone, now is only showing 6 (have not done iOS upgrade or anything!) Help?
Hoping someone can help me. I have the iphone 4s, and have NOT upgraded to any new updates lately (like iOS 5).
A couple days ago, I had over 120 songs on my phone. I had a couple playlists made also. Yesterday I went to put a playlist on to go running, and I only had 6 songs listed in my music folder and playlists! I plugged the phone into my computer, and iTunes IS showing ALL of the 120+ songs as being ON my phone still. I tried to do sync, autofill, etc, but it said all of the songs on my computer iTunes are already in my phone.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can fix this? I am training for a race and really want all of my music back!
Welcome to the forums, Tony.
First, you should re-read the Terms of Use that you agreed to by signing up to post. You'll find that you're not addressing Apple here. Just users like yourself. Addressing Apple in this forum is a waste of everyone's time, and just make you appear foolish.
With regard to your problem, the iTunes User Guide has excellent troubleshooting steps to take when you're having problems with your phone. A copy of the Guide is bookmarked in your Safari app.
Try the troubleshooting steps. If these steps don't solve your problem, please write back. Tell us what happened with each troubleshooting step and be sure to include any error messages you have received.
We'll make sure you get your phone working in no time!

As of today, neither sample songs on the music store nor songs already downloaded will play correctly. They are stuttery and slow. I have iTunes 10.5 and have not downloaded any upgrades for anything recently. They were working last night. Thoughts or advice?
I found a solution that worked for me. Here is what I did and where I found it.
"Looks like I tracked down the problem, it worked for me so I hope this works for everyone else experiencing problems. Go to your Task Manager and locate the program APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push)..... if you see this executing terminate the program and then startup iTunes and it should come up fine. You will see afterwards that APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) starts back up but this is fine as long as iTunes has already started.
I tried playing both music and syncing up my iPhone with no problems. Note if you shutdown iTunes again you will have to terminate the process APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) again. Haven't had time to see what in the world Apple Push is but this appears to have corrected the problem so that you can at least use iTunes and sync any device that needs to be synced.
Hope that helps everyone!"

Can I use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad only? I have not updated my Mac to Lion.
I haven't upgraded to Lion for a couple reasons. Can I use iCloud without having Lion on my Mac?
Thanks!Many thanks for your prompt reply. I did indeed check that my ID was the same on both devices but I have just decided to re-enter my Account name and password on my iPhone under Settings/iCloud and this time suddently it created a Photo Stream album on my iPhone under Photos/Albums that did not exist before and I now have 43 identintical pictures on both my iPad and my iPhone so I don't know what magic you have but it worked and all is now well. Many thanks indeed from an admirer in the UK!

I had 800+ songs on my iphone when tonight my iphone decided to dump all of my music. I tried to sync all of my music back onto my iphone and it told me I was only authorized 300 of my songs. All of the songs came from the same macbook in the first place, why the **** won't they all sync now? There's been no change or variation except my iphone dumping songs. How the **** am I not authorized? I paid for all of them! I'm seriously getting tired of apple's overpriced junk. It never works right that and nothing but screws up and screws us as consumers.
I was doing dishes and listening to music on my phone. I tried to change the song and all the music was gone. Then when I plugged it into my macbook to resync it all it told me I'm not authorized all of the songs. It would only sync 300 of the 800 on my itunes that are on my macbook. And it's been the same macbook and same itunes account all along. Never changed. That's why I'm confused. I paid for all this music and now I just don't have it anymore cause they say so... Also, this isn't the first time my iphone has dumped all my music, it's happened twice before, but let me sync all my music back onto it the other two times.

I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?
When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps! -
I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!
Also, it's taking FOREVER (over an hour) to sync my iPhone to iTunes...

I have had my iphone 3gs for 3 mths., I have not connected it to my computer to creat a apple id and upload, somebody told me u have to do this right when u get your phone or you will loose everything in your phone. I don't want to loose all my #'s, pictures,texts,etc.
How can I do this without loosing everything?
ThanksThey told you incorrectly, although it is not a good idea to rely on the device as a single point of storage.
You must have an Apple ID to purchase content via iTunes, simply log in with that ID in iTunes. Then connect the device and sync it. For detailed instructions, read the manual which is available online or on the device. -
At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?
I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will. -
How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.
Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

I had to completely reset my phone back to "new" at the Apple Store and the Genius told me that my PhotoStreams would download automatically back to my iPhone after the reset. They have not. Are they lost forever?
Have you logged into iCloud on the phone? If not they won't be there, also just to let you know photo stream doesn't keep your photos forever anyway. It will keep up to 1000 photo's after that it will delete the oldest photo there, it will also delete any photo that is 30 days old.

Yes, this is activation lock. Return the phone for a refund, as it is useless without the activation information of the previous owner.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?
Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup. -
