  • Music app in iPhone 6 deletes music artwork and songs

    I have spent hours trying to fix this, but have had to restore factory settings and replace 10,000+ songs to the phone twice now. I use a MacBook Pro with iTunes 12..0.1.26. I bought the 128GB iPhone 6 for the purpose of playing my large CD collection. What happens is that after adding music to my phone, I can listen to it without problems for a few weeks, and then suddenly one day all of the artwork will disappear, and when I try to play songs in a playlist it will flash up the name of each song one by one and then give a message that there are no songs to play. When I check the music library the songs are no longer on the phone. This happens with all songs except ones purchased from the iTunes Store.
    I have set iTunes to manage music manually and unchecked all sync options. I have disabled iTunes Store and iTunes Match on the phone. I have "hidden" iTunes Radio on the phone. "Show All Music" and "Genius" are both disabled in the settings for the music app. I have turned cellular data off for the music app. I have even tried to trick Autofill by creating an empty folder to Autofill from as there is no option to turn Autofill off. I guess my problem is that I have spent a lot of money on CD's and Apple wants me to buy all of my music from iTunes. It would be cheaper to buy a new (non-Apple) phone than to buy my music twice, but I would prefer to stick with my iPhone if I can find a solution.

    I have worked it out. All you have to do is sync the music from iTunes. It is not possible to delete music from the computer while keeping it on the iPhone. Then, whenever you want to add a few new songs, delete the entire phone, restore factory settings and start again. It only takes a couple of hours each time. Well done Apple - what an intuitive system.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 delete music when I press shuffle?

    I am using ios 7.0.2. and have found a new problem that's been driving me crazy!
    When I press the shuffle button, my phone deletes music, between 2 and 10 tracks per time. Any ideas why this is happening and ideas to resolve it?

    Yes, that's the way it works. Once it's plugged in, you can turn it off. There's no harm in leaving it on, however.

  • My iPhone is deleting music by itself! Please help! My computer crashed so iTunes is out of the question

    A few days ago, my computer crashed, and being the Deadmau5 fan that I am, I can't survive without my concert DVDs. So I deleted all my photography apps (using the iPhone, of course) to make room for a concert movie. I didn't delete any music because by the time I deleted a few apps I had enough room. Before buying the film that was 3.6 gb, i had 5.5gb free. So I bought the film, and the phone automatically and by itself deleted 5 gigs of music that was ripped from CDs that no longer play. Need that music for my job (i know it sounds weird but trust me). Please help me I'm on my knees

    If you lost your device a month ago, did you have Find My iPhone active on it before it was lost? If so, then you needed to log into www.icloud.com with your information and try to locate the device. I'm not sure about where you are receiving these emails from, but can you see the device in iCloud? If you are using another device, did you cancel the service on your other device? If so, that could be part of the problem of why you are having difficulty locating yours. To locate the device, it has to be powered on, it has to have Find My iPhone activated before it was lost/stolen, and it has to have an active internet connection. If any of that is interrupted, then it will not work.
    Apple does not locate devices, so there really isn't any customer service for Find My iPhone. Not sure what you are asking about that. The Find My iPhone app on the girlfriend's phone is just another avenue for you to get into your iCloud account to try and locate the device. If it does not show up in Find My iPhone, then the device either did not have Find My iPhone active before you lost it, it is powered off, or, in case you did not have a passcode on the device, it has been erased.

  • IPhone 5 deleting music by itself

    So I got my iphone before IOS 7 came out, updated it to the new OS, even got the next update or two and everything was fine. Got home today and decided to switch out some music on my phone, and iTunes was seemingly deciding not to put any new music on my phone. I tried multiple times to get it to work (adding playists, individual songs, albums, etc) and even did a system restore. Still didn't want to work. That's when I noticed that a couple albums were missing. I decided to put my music on shuffle and go through it on a hunch and out of nowhere it started skipping a few songs here and there. It was almost like when you move a song's file location in your system to a different spot and go to iTunes and try to play the song, then it will say "file not found, would you ike to locate it?" Should I maybe uninstall then reinstall iTunes? I've already done a backup restore, hard reboot on my phone, restarted my computer, etc. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hey there  Cheongwr,
    It sounds like your phone is restarting unexpectedly, when it is not charging. I would reset the phone with these steps first, then test the issue again:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists I would next backup the phone to iTunes on your computer with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article and test the issue again:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If the issue still happens after restoring from your backup, try restoring it as a new device to see if there is an issue with the backed up data itself.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Songs on iPhone wont delete!

    cant delete any songs from my iphone4 even if i right click AND press delete on my keyboard! HELP!?

    Yeah, it would have been nice to have some instruction on the changes...
    To delete a song, I swiped to the LEFT on the song title in the list.  A red box shows and says delete.  Tap box.
    To remove a song from your iTunes list on the computer, the easiest way is to highlight the song with your mouse, and hit the back key on the computer.
    I am not pleased with the new sync method!   It is not working well.
    Apple messed this one up.  Missing Steve Jobs a lot.......

  • My 4s iphone wont play music or navigation voice

    help i looked at settings they are on my speaker phone works fine

    it seems that your ipod/iphone may have water damage. take it to a shop for a diagnostic. It may be a permanent issue I dont believe brushing off any dust will fix this, sorry.

  • For some reason, my iphone wont play music,

    when i hook it up to anything, or just try to play it regularly. Can anyone help?

    You cannot go back to 7.0.4. But you can restore the backup.

  • Iphone crashed lost music and now computer won't recognize it

    Hello everyone!
    So I was updating my iphone 5 (iOS 8 for sure, i think 8.1) and was adding some music when i thought i might not have enough space on my iphone. So on my iphone I deleted music and a few movies FROM the iphone, not in iTunes. My music app froze and then crashed. When i went back into the app all my music was gone except my 120 odd songs I actually purchased from iTunes. This has happened to me before and the fix was just to leave the iphone plugged into my computer and all the music would return in 20 odd minutes or so. Well after this crash my computer wouldnt recognize my iphone... some of my music came back but not even close to all (went from 5000 songs to right around 1200). Ive tried all the fixes ive read about. Restarting iphone and computer, re-installing itunes, tried a different cord, and a just about every fix possible using the device manager (i use windows 8.1). Something interesting about after it crashed was that the syncing arrows that spin around in a circle in the top left of the phone while syncing is taking place were spinning for like 12 hours after being unplugged from my computer... weird stuff. The only time I can even get my computer to recognize my iphone is even plugged in and is trying to connect is when I leave it plugged in and do a hard reset (holding down home and screen lock button) and then it recognizes it for like 10 seconds - says error code 43 and then will never reappear until I do another hard reset. I really dont know whats going on and as far as I can tell, im the first to have this type of problem, hopefully not but really appreciate any help you guys can give.

  • My i phone wont play music

    My Iphone wont play music and only vibrates for text and email alerts, but strangely enough it still rings! Is this fixable at all?

    Ok i think i have found out how to do it. Unplug your i phone, go to settings and then reset then reset all data and settings. This will warn you that it is going to erase eveything on your phone.
    DO NOT BACK UP BEFORE HAND
    then restart your phone and restore back up from when you donwloaded the new IOS5. This should sort out your problem :-)

  • Delete music on my iphone in iOS 7 Wont let me swipe to delete

    iPhone won't let me delete music that was downloaded for my daughter's iPod.  I tried swiping right to left no good.  I changed from all music from iCloud and other devices to white from green still won't let me delete.

    I was having this same problem and tried everything even deleting the song completely from my computer. I finally figured it out though.
    Go back to settings and turn on show all music, go back to your iPod and the songs you can't delete should now have a cloud beside them. Click the cloud to download the song from the cloud. Once downloaded you should be able to swipe to delete. Then just go back into settings and turn off show all music.

  • I cant delete music from my iphone since downloading iOS 7 i have tried synching it and making sure that i only download checked songs bt still wont get rid of them..can anyone help?

    After downloading ios7 i cant delete msuic from my iphone can anyone help?

    Hello Amanda,
    I wonder if you are seeing your iTunes in the Cloud purchases.  The items you see with the iCloud icon next to them are purchased songs that you can stream from iTunes in the Cloud.  You can hide these songs in Settings on the iPhone:
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud: Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    These steps are from the iPhone User Guide:
    iPhone User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    If there are just specific songs you would like to hide, you can hide them using the iTunes Store on your computer:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.               
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    Once you hide the songs on your computer, I recommend quitting and relaunching the Music app on your iPhone.  You can find more information about hiding purchases here:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    If the songs do not display a cloud icon next to them, try deleting them directly from the iPhone using these steps:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
