IOS 4.2 installation just deleted all my music

Now I am syncing again, but why? What about time lost? I just upgraded, left the office and then realized in the elevator my iPhone is empty of music. Great job on the sys update Apple!

It's still completely inexcusable. The music may still be on our computers where we can re-install everything, but iPhone updates shouldn't delete the music from our iPhone. This happened to me this morning. I synced (which installed the latest software upgrade) and left the house for a trip not realizing that my music was gone. Got on the road and ready to play some tunes, and everything was gone. Now I'm stuck for days on a trip without access to my music. There's no excuse in this.

  • ITunes 12 just deleted all my music on my iPod touch 5

    I have and iPod touch 5 32 GB, running iOS 8.2. I plugged it into my computer running itunes 12. i added an album (which is what i do every once in a while. hey, i like to update my preference in music which I'm sure everyone else does.) so after it adds the music against each and every song theres the   sign indicating that that song isn't there on my iPod. i go through my list and sure enough, its there against all my songs. I don't sync my music, i manage it manually. i unplug my device and sure enough, there's nothing there. any solutions? i had about 2000 songs (i know it's not a lot but i have a very specific taste in music.) my only option seems to be painstakingly tracking down all my music again and adding it. why would iTunes do this? it's never done before.

    Just create and new ID

    To use that ID on the iPod go to Settings>Store and sign our and sign back in.

  • So my 32gb touch just deleted all my music

    So I have a 32gb touch i purchased in spet. of 08. Due to an extremely frustrating issue with my computer, itunes will not open. As a result, since I have purchased my touch nearly five months ago, I have been purchasing musoc using itunes right on my touch. Yesterday, while in the midst of downloading a new album, it would appear the touch deleted all of the music I have since purchased. Now as a result of not being able to open itunes, I have been able to back up any of this music. Long story short, my question is whether I can get any of the music back without repurchasing. Thanks in advance.

    Apple sends you an email receipt whenever a piece of music is purchased; if you have that receipt, at least you have the foundation for contacting about the issue. Realize, however, that this might involve sending lots of emails and sitting on their telephone support line. If you have an Apple store nearby, a Genius Bar may prove more responsive.
    There's another "option", though it can't be detailed in this forum.

  • My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and I am unable to retrieve them via icloud or anything else???

    My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and icloud and any other method has failed to bring them back...any help would be great!

    Have you checked that all of the calendars were checked, so they displayed? In the Calendar app, select "Calendars" at the bottom and make sure they are all checked. In the IOS Settings, make sure the right accounts are there.

  • I have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing  what should i do?

    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod.

  • ITunes will not let me update to iOS 5.1.1 without deleting all my media. How can I fix this?

    When I tried to update from my PC this came up:
    "Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and
      media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your
    iPad. To preserve your content, apply this update on
      the computer where you sync your apps, music, videos,
      and photos."
    I don't understand because this is the only computer I use iTunes for my ipad.
    Help please!

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • My iPod just randomly deleted all my music, but I no longer have the computer where I synced it to. Can I still get my purchased tracks if I download iTunes on another computer?

    If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownlaod some itunes content in some countries:

  • HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..."  Why?

    My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated.  I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
    I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
    "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch.  To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
    This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
    The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems.  This third one, however has the warning above.
    How do I fix this problem?
    By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
    Thanks.

    Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

  • My iphone has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Any help?

    Hello,
    My iphone 4 version 5.0.1 has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Suddently my girlfriend called and I could only see her number, not her name.
    I went to contacts and there was nobody in there!!! Even more, there are also no contacts on my ipad mini!!!! That's weird. What's happening?
    I have gone to www.icloud.com and although there are some contacts, contacts are not synced with the latest updates, I also don't know why.
    The most important thing in a phone are its contacts! I thought that apple was providing a complete backup solution, but I am afraid it is not reliable.
    What can I do? What can Apple offer to me?
    Is there a way of restoring an icloud copy directly from the iphone? I have thought on restoring and updating to ios7 and ask for icloud to put my backup copy of today in the morning, but it is possible that icloud does another copy and rewrites the 7am working copy. I have disconnected wifi in order to avoid a copy on icloud without contacts.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Jordi

    Hi Jordi,
    I have the exact same problem and judging by the other posts we are not alone. The one thing that seems to be lacking is any official word or support from Apple - a "bury the head in teh sand" strategy appears to be the chosen response from one of the worlds biggest brands.
    I took it to my Apple store and they were about as much use as chocolate over gloves and told me "this can happen sometimes"???? Seriously, this from an Apple Genius!!??!?!?
    I have not had any joy with iCloud back up so I'm afraid I cant offer any help.
    I will be going to Twitter and Facebook to try to get some action from Apple so I suggest we all do the same and create a noise that Apple cannot ignore....

  • My iPhone 4 has just deleted all my messages & won't let me receive or send texts?

    My iPhone 4 has just deleted all my messages & won't let me receive or send texts?

    There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
    If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

  • I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

    I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.  Restoring an iCloud backup requires first erasing your phone.  If you have any newer data on your phone since the backup that you want to keep, you'll need to save that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Sign into your iCloud account and choose your last backup to restore to.
    Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?

    When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.

    You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
    You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then.

  • When I sync my ipod classic with iTunes it deletes all the music on my ipod

    Hi everyone, I have an ipod classic 160GB and when I try to sync it with iTunes to put things like TV shows ect it deletes all the music off of my iPod (which is over 400 songs) so I have to put it all back on using another program and then when I try to use iTunes again it deletes everything. Sometimes when I put podcasts on it just deletes the music but not the podcasts, or it'll decide to the opposite. Recently it deleted all of my music and videos and just left the podcasts.
    Your help is greatly appreciated,
    thank you

    Hello qz0rz213,
    It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
    Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
    iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
    Symptoms
    In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
    After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
    This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.
