IPhone OS 3.1.2 update removes albums from iPhone

I downloaded OS 3.1.2 tonight and updated my iPhone. The update and sync process removed over 2.5 GB of music from my iPhone. My albums still appear in the Music section of Library but I can't get them to sync with my iphone and transfer over. What gives? Didn't Apple test this before putting out this update? I spent hours getting over 52 albums on my phone and now they are missing. Anyone else ever have this happen?
Thanks,
Ken

Got my solution from an iPod user. All of the music teachers in my wife's school district have iPods with all of the music they use for teaching on their units. Evidently it is a common occurence that after updating their iPod software they have to resync their entire Music library in iTunes. Doesn't happen with each update but frequently.
Once I updated my entire Music Library everything is back to normal. Now that I know what to look for I can handle it. I'm new to the iApple world and have to learn all the little quirks I guess. It just seems strange that Apple wouldn't warn you first.

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

    remove photo albums from iphone

    As soon as you sync your phone to a different computer & put a check in the box to sync photos under the photos tap in iTunes, then hit the apply/sync button, all of these photos will be erased from your phone.

  • How do I delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    What is the easiest way to delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    Depends on the album and how it got there.
    If it is an album that you sync'd to the device, you would remove it the same way - by hooking up the device to sync, de-selecting the album in the Photos profile screen, and then syncing the device
    If it is an album you created, you would need to manually delete the album itself by clicking on Edit from the main display and then clicking on the minus sign to delete the album. This does not delete the photos in the album, however. If you want the photos deleted, you have to select them and then delete them manually.
    Camera Roll photos will ask if you want to delete them when you import the Camera Roll to a computer.
    Photo Stream photos are either deleted manually, or you can turn off Photo Stream altogether to remove Photo Stream from your device.
    Cheers,

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
    did you use a different id to buy the app?
    you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

    How to delete music albums from iphone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album

    Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album. Where is the rest of the album? My iTunes account showed that I was charged for the full account>

    Welcome to the forums!
    I'd contact the iTunes store and explain your situation. While they normally do not allow duplicate downloads the iPhone and Store interface is brand new and bound to have some issues to start with. I'd suspect they'll just allow you to download it again or credit your account.
