IPhone iOS5 update – all songs bought on itunes gone

Hello guys,
a friend of mine has just updated her iPhone 4 to the latest iOS and now all her songs are gone. I cannot find a solution, so maybe you guys have one. She has bought a lot of songs on iTunes but has never synced her phone with her computer. This means that iTunes has never made a backup of her iPhone and consequently no backup of her music. So my question is: is there a way of retreving the music that she has bought on iTunes?
Kind Regards
Akira

  • Are all songs bought on iTunes the same bitrate?

    If so why is there a difference in pricing for identical songs, for example I was looking to purchase "Rubber Duckie" by Ernie of Sesame Street, but one is priced at $1.29 and the other is $.99.

    Not all songs are at identical bit rates.
    But bit rates may or may not be the only factor that is used to establish price.

    I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

    Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
    " it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
    This is not true.  You have misunderstood.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

  • I can't play the songs bought On iTunes. It will skip them and shuffle to the sync songs from computer.

    The player skips o ley the songs bought On iTunes and plays the oler ones. Do you know if i need to set something?
    Tks.

    "The songs are just grey and i cant press them or anything. There is also a small black lock icon at the bottom of my iTunes"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to manual in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

    You don't have any choice but to restore your phone.  If the phone is still working, be sure to back up your contacts first.  Since iTunes can't read your phone you can download the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment.  Send this email to yourself; you can later open it on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary.  When done, click on Restore (on the Summary tab) and let iTunes do its thing.  Be careful to watch the progress information at the top of iTunes as well as your iPhone screen so that you do not interrupt the restore process until it is completes.

    Hi ozzie329,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
    Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
    Then resync to your Nike.
    Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    I updated my iphone (G3) and all the apps are now gone!  What can I do and why did this happen? 

    Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync to? Were the apps in the iTunes library on your computer BEFORE you performed the update?

  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,
    regan101

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

  • All songs duplicated in itunes: how to get rid of duplicates ?

    Computer crashed, re-installed software with all itunes songs saved in itunes folder. Re-installed itunes and imported itunes folder but now all songs appear in itunes in duplicate and I cannot find a way of re-organising the library. Is there any way to easily delete the duplicate songs ? In the My Music I Tunes folder some of the files appear in duplicate as well, I presume something related to computer crash. Any advice gratefully received ¬!!

    Be sure not to do any work in that gallery in iPhoto while it is in the publishing mode. That can cause problems and duplicates. Sometimes it takes a while to finish.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
