IOS 8.0.2 iPhone 5s Music Library issue

I have been having an issue with my iTunes library on my iPhone even after IOS 8.0.2. Most of my songs are from indie groups and so not all of the songs have actual albums to go with them, so I have a large amount of songs in the "Unknown Album". If I open my music app and go to any artist that has an "unknown Album" and then go out and go to another artist, the second artist's songs in the Unknown album will be over written by the first artist's unknown album songs. But if I select that song it goes to the second artist's actual song as it should in the first place. Some image examples are here. When I went to Floresta Prateda's song collection it came up normally but when I went back out and went to FELT's collection, the 6 songs there got overwritten by Floresta Prateda's song. I can fix it temporarily by Refreshing my library, but I need to do that every time I finish with an artist or else it happens again. Does anyone know a fix for this?

I, too, experienced problems after updating my iPhone 5 to the most recent software release, on Saturday afternoon, in that I was unable to send iMessages to other iPhone users.
Even enabling the 'send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable' function failed to rectify the problem. Interestingly, I was still able to text none iPhone users.
Consequently, the search for a solution to the problem prompted my first ever visit to the community, in the hope of answers, since hard re-starts and turning off the phone had failed to rectify the issue.
However, through playing around with my iPhone 5, I may have found a solution.
On a pure whim, I decided to delete the history of texts that I'd shared with a fellow iMessage user (not deleting their contact from my phone, though) before sending a new text, as though I was texting them for the very first time.
Upon receipt of the text, which did send via iMessage (blue speech bubble), my recipient replied by explaining that they'd been attempting to text me all evening to no avail, receiving a 'could not be delivered' message at their end.
As such, I'd suggest that you give the above a go before attempting a factory reset, to see if it works for you.

How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod. Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

Is there an answer to this ? I have the same problem

Editing ID3 tags in itunes has no effect on iPhone's music library?

I manually manage my music (as opposed to synching), and I've noticed when I plug the iphone in, select the music library on the device, and make changed to the mp3s tags, the change does not register with the device. Although the changes show up in iTunes on my computer, when I browse the library through the iphone itself, the metadata appears unchanged. For example, if I change "Twilight Singers, The" to "The Twilight Singers" in itunes, when I browse my iPhone later it will still say "Twilight Singers, The."
Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
iPhone 4S 64GB Black, running latest iOS.

If your MP3 files contain ID3 information the Music app will read this information, aka metadata instead of using the file names since it contains more detail. For example, this is what allows your device to identify songs, artists, albums etc.
To edit ID3 details you have several options, you can do it on your device, or using your computer.
To edit on device, search BlackBerry World for 'ID3' and several apps will appear.
Since i use Windows at home, my preferred ID3 editing software is Mp3tag.
For Mac, you may want to search the App Store and see what ID3 software is offered.
After updating the ID3 details, copy the music back to your device (or close and re-open the Music app if you edited the details on your device using ID3 software from BlackBerry World) and let me know if things are good
I hope this helps!

IPhone 6 music library keeps being deleted

Every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac my music library vanishes off my phone except previously purchased songs. I have reinstalled iTunes 12 and restored my phone but it keeps happening. I have my iTunes set to manually manage my library. I will spend hours transferring songs from my library to my phone and they may stay on for a few days but then seven times out of 10 my music will disappear again except tunes I bought from iTunes. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? So frustrated. Thanks

I have had this problem a month ago. I just tried a 1000 things that did not work, then it started working. I think it's because Apple made iTunes really stupid. Pretty sure that's it.

Why is the "S" category above the "A" category on my iPhone's music library?

Today, when looked on my iPhone 5s 32GB's music library, the song "A Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay is separated from the other songs that are arranged in the "S" category. For some reason, there are 2 "S" categories. One before "A" and one in between "R" and "T". The category that is above "A" contains "A Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay, while the rest of the songs that start with S are in the other "S" category. What is wrong with my phone??? Please help!!!

There's probably a leading space before the name, so it is sorting on the space.

Syncing problems - two users, two iphones, one music library

Hi there,
We've got 2 iPhone 3Gs at home running 2.2. Each syncs under a different user account running iTunes 8.0.2. Both accounts share a single music library (stored under the shared user folder, both accounts having read/write access to the folder). User #1 (me) has no problems syncing. User #2 syncing was working just fine right up until 2.2/8.02. Had been working fine under 2.1/8.0. Now, on sync getting strange error that says that user #2 cannot write to the music folder. Sync starts, back-up finishes, contacts, bookmarks, etc. sync just fine, but then iTunes hangs and must be force-quit. Anyone know how to diagnose and fix?

Have you checked the permissions (including "apply to enclosed items" ) on the music folder in the shared user folder? It could be that the latest update installed/modified something and gave only one user (presumably the one who was logged in during the update) read/write privileges to it. I have no idea what the iPhone may be trying to write to the music folder but one thing could be "recently played" information, assuming the iTunes library gets updated with that from synced iPods and iPhones.

IPhone empties music library when syncing ringtones

I downloaded Apalon Pimp Your Sound -app for my iPhone 4S and did everything their Youtube video tutorial said to make and add ringtones to my phone. It adviced me to sync ringtones to iPhone using iTunes and iTunes only gave me one option: if I wanted to sync the ringtones to my iPhone it would wipe out all the existing music I had in my Phone. I did check the box so now I have the ringtones in my iPhone but no music (no worries, all the music is safe in my iTunes library) and have to transfer all the music back to the iPhone. Is there any way to add ringtones to iPhone without syncing and/or emptying the music library from the Phone?

IPhone 5S Music syncing issues after 8.0.2

Hello,
I have been having irritating issues getting my iPhone 5S to sync my music library over after updating to 8.0.2.
I did a backup onto my laptop prior to updating, and went ahead with the new update. The first thing I noticed was after updating to 8.0.2 in order to sync again, iTunes prompted me that I was lacking 6GB of data on my phone to sync my library. I did not use my phone at all during the updating process so there's no way 6GB of data was magically written on it's storage drive. I could not figure out why in the world iTunes would tell me I needed to free up 6GB to sync the exact same music that was already there prior to. I went ahead and completely deleted my entire Music library from the phone, and tried to resync fresh. I still got the same message from iTunes. Believing in the program and going ahead and doing some spring cleaning, I ended up freeing a good amount of things off of my phone, applications, photos, messages, etc. to drop 6GB from the storage. I went ahead and synchronized my iPhone 5S with iTunes so I could get my music on my phone. It proceeded to go ahead and sync my roughly 1400 songs onto the iPhone. After it was complete, it showed I had an astounding 12GB of free space on my phone... I said to **** with it and just wanted to play my music. The phone seems to have all of my library that I chose to sync on my Music app. The problem is, when I go to play songs the music app will Skip over certain songs. I have not found any commonality between which songs it chooses to skip. It skips newly added songs, it skips old songs, it skips purchased songs, it skips songs downloaded from other sites. There seems to be no structure to which songs it's skipping. Another thing to note, whenever I connect my iPhone 5S to my iTunes and sync, I am Always able to sync something new onto the phone (around step 5 or 6 when it is completing the sync, it will mysteriously add some songs to the phone). Those songs are playable. Then I shuffle through my playlist, and Still the same problem remains, it has removed some songs and skips over them. It seems to Sync songs, and Delete songs... completely at random. This is bothering me and I'm not sure what to do, and am Very unsatisfied with the amount of bugs still left in the software. I wonder if others are having similar issues and maybe we can bring some light to this.
Thank You,
Andrew

Similar issue Andrew. After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling" songs that are no longer in my Music Library. Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone. I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone. When I synched however, I was back to square one. I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone . We also downloaded IOS 8.02. They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it. Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone. After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space. (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
When I got home from the Apple store I spent after hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes. I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched. Didn't work. Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work. Bottom line, I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song ! I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
Furthermore, it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system in my car. However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone. If you ( or anyone else ) finds something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks, Lorenzo

Iphone 5s music sync issues

Guys and girls.
I have got my 5s and have manage to get round to adding my music from my old phone (android) into Itunes music all plays fine but will not sync to my phone.
I go about the sync the normal way, it does start to work but gets to the 'checking for downloads' bit in the blue bar at the top and the whole of Itunes stops responding at all. I use the latest update on itunes and the latest software update on my phone which is now updating to 7.1 as we speak. Still no joy with the music sync. I have tried a few things i have seen on other threds i.e. reset phone using hold lock and home button together, un syncing and re syncing, unticking and reticking boxes and i am slowly going mad!haha. Can anyone offer a solution???
Thanks in advance
Dan

Music library issues

Good day to all try to be clear. I have an ipod touch third generation After upgrading to version 4.1 of IOs if I add podcasts or music works correctly, but if you sync with iTunes without adding anything, the ipod tells me that the music library is empty. Even when connected to itunes the ipod says it has no music although the itunes shows that if. I restored the ipod, I deleted it from system preferences, updated the itunes and all without result. Is set to manually manage the content and has no jailbreak for what it is the data. Thank you very much

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other songs you will have to get them from where you got them before

Multiple music library issues

I have downloaded songs from my home computer to my ipod, but now I am on holidays and have bought some songs from itunes store, downloaded onto my laptop, but when I try to add them to my ipod I get a message that I can only use one music library, and must erase all the songs on my ipod if I want to add the songs from my laptop that I just bought!!?? How do I add them without erasing the 900 songs already on there?

Click on your iPod's name from under the Devices column and it should automatically place you under your iPod's Summary tab.

IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks

My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

IPhone's music library is not showing up on my iPhone 4.

Okay so, i just downloaded some music and did an autofill between the two libraries . iTunes says that is sync and when i click on music under iPhone the songs on there and everything... great. but when i look on my phone to see if the songs are there , they are not. even though itunes says that it is . How do i fix this?

My AppleTV won't load my playlists. It says it's contacting iTunes Match, then it goes to the home screen. When I move the cursor back to the music icon, it says I haven't purchased any music for a few seconds, then eventually it starts to populate the top row with music artwork from my library. Weird, and frustrating. I spend more time trying to update and troubleshoot my apple tv than I actually get to enjoy it. Almost like a windows Xp PC!
