Also this is in my playlists
But now I have no music on my iPad
on my iPhone it was doing this so how do I fix my music and my Music on iPhone disappears or it's not working right when I press the play button that small red icon to the right side of that song it goes down each song fast and then all the music is not there what do I do now? Also this is in my playlists
So how do I fix this?

Your iPhone has enough storage for iOS 8.  Your iPad may have enough too so before doing anything you may want to just wait and try to upgrade and see if you get a prompt saying you don't have enough storage.  If you don't, if all of your music is in your iTunes library on your computer, one option would be to delete all the music off your iPad, then update it to iOS 8 and sync all your music back to your iPad when it's done.  To delete all the music, you would go to Settings>General>Usage, tap on music in the apps list, then tap Edit and tap next to All Music.
Here's an article about how to prepare for the iOS update: http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/07/prepare-ios-8-update/.

    Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
    If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Or to copy it from a different computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support.

  • Help I just lost all of my contacts

    I just downloaded the updated software onto my Blackberry bold.  Come to find out that all my contacts, emails, messages and texts have been deleted.  I really need to get those contacts back.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thank you!!

    Hello and thank you both so much for your quick responses.  I am not very computer savvy, but I checked all my downloads and only found the one titled Apploader WebSL upgrade.  There is no other download with a jpd file.  Would it be somewhere else besides under the download tab? 
    Hi again,
    From that description, I have no idea what you've done.
    1)  You are looking for an IPD file, not a JPD.
    2) You are looking on your PC hard drive, not your BB. (Download tab?????)
    3) You need to search your entire hard drive...it could be in MyDocuments, or it could be somewhere else. An actual search (available in Windows) will do the trick (using the wildcard search of *.ipd).
    Then again, you didn't quite tell us how you did the upgrade...if you did it with your PC, then these instructions apply. If you did it OTA, then all is lost.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My 3 kids have itouches, i have an iphone 4 and an ipad.  i just lost all my notes on my ipad and iphone.  i synced both to my mac but i can't find them anywhere...advice?

    i synced both to my mac to see if they would come back and they do not.  i looked at other forums and most of the people that had success getting them back used gmail.  I do not.  My email is verizon.  The only notes that were on there before the sync were 2 short notes that look like they could have been from one of my kids (although they all deny they belong to them of course).  now after the sync there are 4 notes all from december or this past sunday but the other 20 or so notes are nowhere to be seen.  I suppose part of the problem could be that i really don't understand the icloud.  I am really struggling to figure out how to use it.  the other day i synced my ipad (because i usually enter all my calendar dates on there and they were not syncing to my iphone via the icloud and now i have duplicates of a bunch of calendar events.  i am getting so frustrated.  Any advice welcome.  Thanks. 

    Thanks for the reply.
    True by my description it would seem I sent them nowhere, but ten minutes later after turning on and off Contacts in the Cloud I got most of them.
    I have the most recent one I added about 4 days ago but I'm missing some here and there.
    I logged in with my Apple ID and it's the only one I've ever used.
    Still a little weird.
    I have synced my contacts with iTunes but not very recently.
    I now have learned to do it often!
    As far as I can tell there's no rhyme or reason for my missing contacts.
    It's odd I would have most, but not all. So I must have uploaded something since I have some of my recent adds that were after my last sync with iTunes.

  • Just lost all music!

    I have just lost all the music on my i-pod I got the message 'songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist'
    Help!!

    OK so if you have it set to Automatically Update Specific Playlists Only, are those playlists you have selected in that same screen still in iTunes?
    In other words, you are telling iTunes that you want only the stuff in the playlists you have picked to be put on the iPod. If you later delete one or all of those playlists in iTunes, then plug in your iPod, it won't find the playlists it is supposed to sync with and would give you that error you see.

  • Hello - I am trying to sync my ipod touch with itunes and I have done many times and now today I am getting error message 13019. I have listened to all the suggestions of how to fix it from apple and now I lost all my music off my ipod. HELP?

    Hello - I have been getting error message 13019 all afternoon and I have never had that before. I have listened to all the suggestions on this site and nothing has helped. And know I have lost all the music off my ipod (luckily it is still on itunes) I really need this figured out asap since I leave on vacation in 4 days! Please somebody help. I have never had so many issues

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
    Hope this help

  • After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all my music (Cds that I had downloaded into itunes) except the once I had purchased from the itunes store. Can anyone help? Do you know what might have happened?

    After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
    Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
    Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.

    Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
    I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
    I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
    All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
    Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip).  It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
    If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
    Regards

  • HT4972 i lost all my music on my iPhone when i updated to iOS 5!!!!! help!!

    I just updated my iphone to the ios 5 system and I lost all my music, however i also just puchased an imac desktop today and somewhom i can not seem to find my music in my libray on itunes either!!!
    Help!

    Where did the content come from to begin with?  It should all be in the iTunes library on your computer.
    Did you fail to use some basic intelligence and ensure there was a backup of the device prior to updating it?

  • Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them?!

    Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them???

    I also experienced loss of important archived voicemails on my Iphone on two occasions within the last 12 mos:
    1. after upgrading my Iphone 4S to an Iphone 5 using Itunes backup and then erasing my Iphone 4s. I lost all my voicemails older than 90 days (ATT is my carrier). I was able to recover the old voicemails by restoring my Iphone 4s from my Itunes backup and holding onto that device for reference.
    2. again, six mos later after restoring a new Iphone 5 using a recent ITunes backup after water damage to my first Iphone 5. Nobody in my local Apple store or on Apple phone support, including a "senior techniciaan" had any useful knowledge to assist me with this frustrating issue. Ultimately, I spent many hours researching this myself. Apparently, there is a bug in the Iphone 5 OS when restoring from ITunes. I don't know if this problem also occurs after restoring from an ICloud backup. However, I found that Iphone voicemails are available for a limited period 30-90 days through your phone carrier ie. ATT, Verizon, etc but more importantly, ALL voicemails are archived on an ITUNES backup regardless of age assuming you didn't delete them off your IPhone before last backing up your device. So, if you lost or damaged your IPhone but have an ITunes backup, all you need is an ITunes extractor, unfortunately not available through APPLE. Apple reps are not authorized to discuss non-apple issued software even if they're aware. There are several ITunes extractors available for music, photos, SMS files etc but most don't also have the capability of opening the embedded voicemails. Happily, using this software, I successfully extracted from my ITunes backup file ALL my voicemails old and current, using www.backuptrans.com/itunes-backup-extractor.html (Mac and Windows versions available). A life-saver!

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • Help! I've lost all my music

    Help! I've lost all my music! I moved abroad and copied all of my cds to my new ipod touch 3rd. Old computer stored in states. Now I'm in Italy with a new laptop. and when I signed decided to down an app, i had to reinstall itunes, not only did i fail to get app, all my old downloads except one recent purchase (not downlad)  are gone. Help! 40 years of music, much of it no longer available. Took weeks to down all.

    There is nothing you can now except sync/restore the iPod on the old computer.  An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library/computer.  If you sync the iPod to another library, iTunes will erase the iPod and replace its contents with what is in the itunes library of new computer.
