IPhone has deleted all music and won't sync it back??

I tried to sync a new CD onto my iPhone, and it would not appear on my phone. When i clicked on the 'Music On My Device" tab on iTunes, the songs were in grey with a circle next to them.
I then tried to play a pre-existing song on my phone, but my if i click on a song, it gets wiped from my phone! (It is not totally deleted, but is written in grey with a circle next to it). So all of the songs on my phone have deleted themselves, and iTunes will not sync them back on.This does not affect Purchased songs.
I hoped that the iOS 8.1 update would have fixed this, but alas it has not. Please help!
(I sync my phone onto a mac, which is updated with OS X Yosemite, 10.10)
(I have an old iPod touch which has iOS 6. something, and it is not affected by this problem- i have synced it fine)

I work in an office that is behind several concrete walls and gets very poor signal. Everyday I will lose my cell signal and when going back outside I am unable to reconnect to network without either turning on/off airplane mode, or turning phone off and on.
Took phone to Apple store, along with video of problem, and was given a new phone. Problem still exists and was told to set up phone as new iphone. Again did this and problem still exists. When leaving office phone shows edge service and the bars litterally bounce from 1 - 5 and the "E" will turn into a circle like bullseye back to "E" and then just keeps doing this till reset.
Never an issue with 4 or 4s. About ready to say to heck with iphone and move to the dark side with an android Galaxy S3.
Also have had issue when entering elevators at hospital. THis can be a huge issue as I am a firefighter/emt and all calls come across our phones now.
Any ideas from anyone....apple has been less than helpful

Syncing Iphone and Iphone has deleted ALL contacts from Outlook - Help!

I have on many occassions synced my Iphone without issue.
This time syncing the IPhone has deleted ALL the contacts on the hone and WITHIN Outlook.
Can I regain the lost contacts safely from the back up?
I have over 300 contacts and don't want to have to copy them all in manually.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Cheers

Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

IBook tuned itself off and deleted all music and some programs

My brother has my old iBook G4 and ealier it when he put it to sleep it turned itself off and deleted his music and a few programs. Is there any way to get those things back?

Hi weazle,
I suspect that he may have changed the name of his 'home' folder. Maybe it was in your name and he thought he'd change it to his?

My iPod Classic 160GB has lost all its music and won't sync or restore

My iPOD Classic 160GB has spontaneously lost all its music - approx. 5000 songs. One minute they were all there, now they're all gone - display says "No Music" although memory still shows 23GB in use? I tried to re-sync on iTunes but the iPod won't sync (error 1415) or restore (error 1439). As things currently stand,my iPod is just a very expensive paperweight - please can anybody help with this?

hi lindsay
i understand you have all your music still in your itunes library?
Try the basic resetting of your ipod,also try another usb port.
Have you tried ,when ipod is connected,click on your ipods name,for example lindsays ipod,another window should open up and you can see summary,click on the sync box ,bottom right hand corner,see if this helps.
Or you could ,when you have itunes open,click for updates.
hope this may help you
thanks madforit

My ipad 2 has deleted all mail, and is completely blank, can't send or receive, and won't sync with computer?

The mail on my ipad2 is completely wiped out, totally blank, it won't sync with the computer, nor will it send and receive, everything else is running fine and syncing ok, can anyone help? The settings are all ok but just when you click on mail it comes up as a blank page......very bewildered, thanks.

Since writing this yesterday, I have found that other iPhone owners have had the same problem in my immediate area. AT&T claims there was a problem the same day with the local cell tower. Despite that, AT&T customer service phone reps keep telling me that I need a new phone. I don't believe one rep knows what the other is doing.
So as a word of advice, don't go out and buy a new phone until you are absolutely sure. My iPhone is working fine.

ITunes losing all music and won't redirect to correct folder

Hi there,
This morning, iTunes has lost all my music. The whole library has the little exclamation mark. Using the 'Find info' comand, I can see that iTunes is looking for them in the music folder of my internal drive. However, they've always been kept on an external drive, and when I redirect iTunes to an individual track in it's correct location, and it asks me if I'd like to use the location to find the other missing files, it fails to correct the location of the rest. I am getting this message: “iTunes was able to find 1 of 18083 missing files.” Rather frustrating...
I'm using iTunes 10, on OS 10.7.3
I have the correct iTunes media folder indicated in the advanced preferences tab.
In case it's relevant, I'm also syncing with a new iPhone 4s, which I've only had for about 3 weeks, though in terms of audio, I only sync recently added albums + podcasts.
And an additional odd behaviour that I noticed this morning was that in my iTunes Media folder, outside of the Music folder, several artist folders had appeared, each containing an album folder and one or several songs from that album, the rest of which were all in their normal locations inside the Music folder, minus the tracks in the newly-appeared folders. All very odd.
Thanks for any help,
Emma

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

How can I delete ALL music and SOME video from my iPad?

I have a MB Pro running Yosemite (10.10.1), and and a 2nd Generation iPad Air (iOS4.3.3.)
I'd like to keep some, but not all of my video library on my iPad, and delete all the music from it. (I have my music on my iPhone 6+, and don't need it on the iPad, as I carry them both with me all the time.)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Use the sync feature and settings in iTunes. you'll be able to do it from within iTunes.

I cannot remove songs that downloaded to my iphone 5 from cloud off my iphone, i deleted all music from iphone but they still remain

I upgraded to a iphone 5 and transferred my music to my new phone. Apparently what i think is happening is that my purchased music is automatically downloading to my iphone and I do not want this. I have checked manually manage music etc on itunes and turned off music from icloud on my phone so I think im ok there. My problem that I am having is that I cannot get rid of the music it already downloaded from the cloud. Please help I just want this off my phone.

I have the same problem. I have 21 songs that cannot be deleted. I have tried to delete them from my phone using itunes. I have deleted them from my itunes library completely and when I sync the phone they just keep coming back. The phone shows the cloud symbol to the right of the song title. When you touch the symbol a circle with a square in the centre represents loading the song. When that is complete I try to swipe form right to left and a delete button appears. Great! but when you touch it the song remains and the cloud symbol has returned. I have even tried a master reset on my phone to no avail. I do not have itunes Match and when I log into the cloud there is no where I can see where these songs are stored. My fifteen year old daughter has spent 4 hrs trying to figure this out and she gave up! HELP PLEASE! The songs are an album my daughter purchased from the itunes store using my ID and although she loves them on her ipod I can't stand them and can't get them off my phone. I don't even know how they got there in the first place. Arrrrgh!

My library has deleted my music and wont recognize my ipod

Yesterday I loaded up my itunes library to find that it had deleted all of my music besides music which I had purchased recently and will now not recognise my ipod. I've tried uninstalling itunes but that didnt help and I am now confused. Can anyone help?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

IPod touch 4G randomly deleted music and won't sync?

So my white iPod touch 4G was plugged up to my computer to charge like always. When I went to listen to my music it said there is "no content, please purchase...". Now the majority of my music is downloaded straight from itunes but there are songs I've downloaded from importing CDs to itunes and then to my iPod. All my songs are still on iTunes, so I try to sync the music back to my iPod and it says that all my music IS currently on the iPod, but when trying to sync from my purchased list (where some songs aren't on my iPod) it won't sync because it says "iPod couldn'y sync because it couldn't be found. I'm horribly confused and I really just wont my music back so please help!

- Reboot the computer
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another USB port
- Try cable
- Try on another computer to help determine if yo have an iPod or computer problem. Do not sync to the the other coputer, just see if iTunes sees it corretly.

Ipod self-erased all music and won't download it again from itunes!!!!

Help! I was updating my ipod with some new songs, and it came up saying that I had exceeded my limit (even though I hadn't) and that ipod was going to make a folder of all my music and call it "harriet's ipod". All well & good- clicked Ok. Then I realised that it hadn't stored any playlists or ordered albums etc so I deleted the "harriet's ipod" folder/playlist from itunes and now my ipod is blank!!! And it now doesn't let me update any songs AT all as it says that there are no playlists, even though there are on itunes... please help!!!

Won't play all of itunes music and won't sync books at all

Am having all kinds of problems after updating to the newest software on 3gs. All of my music shows up on the phone, but only a few songs will play. Books will not show up at all. Tried resyncing both music and books and it will not. Syncs contacts, etc but not those media items. All the correct boxes, etc are checked in itunes. When doing an actual sync it only takes seconds where as before with all of my music it took quite a long time.

I could not agree more. EVERY TIME I use iTunes Match on my Apple TV it cuts off the last 30 seconds of at least 3 out of every 10 songs. These are songs I bought on iTunes not uploaded from a CD. There is zero reason this should be happening with a perfect internet connection. There is no good excuse. Please fix this Apple!

Itunes has lost all music and no files located on laptop apart from one.

Hi,
We have recently downloaded all our CDs into itunes to clear them out and have them successfully on our devices. I went to reorganise my music and change things and discovered that my music library looks like it is there but says cannot locate file. I have tried to search for the albums but they are nowhere. There is my most recent download and I can search for that and it plays but that is all. Please help...we no longer have the albums and have purchased a lot through itunes.
Thanks.

Hey Lhatcher1987,
That can definitely be stressful, but there's an article that can help you find the media you expected to appear in iTunes. I'd read through it and see if that helps you find the missing music:

My iphone has suddenly turned off and won't turn back on

This is a replacement phone as mine broke after updating I've only had it 3 months and now it's suddenly gone off and won't turn on I've tried the reset but it's totally blank if I return to the shop will I be made to pay again for a replacement??

You say your tried a reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo? How long did you hold the buttons, it could take up to 30 seconds of holding for it to work. If this doesn't do it, then plug the device into the charger for a minimum of 30 minutes, then try the reset again. If you still cannot reset the device, make an appointment for the Genius Bar. Paying for a replacement depends on the warranty status of that device.
If your other device was under warranty, the replacement would have a warranty of 90 days or the balance of the original phone warranty, whichever is the longest.
