ITunes match deletes all my music from my iPhone (the second time now)
This is the second time my music app is empty. It shows all my songs in the cloud but i have to download all the songs again. Whats interresting is, i have to delete the albums first because there is no cloud symbol in "albums" and "artists" so i cant download "all songs" in an album yet. Then every song must be downoad again. Thats really wired and aaargh!!! What can i do? Nothing, right? In the settings app the number of songs also show up even after "deleting" the deleted songs...
to be honest i hadn't heard about it happening in itunes 6 till i read your post, there seems to be a lot of people getting this problem in itunes 7 though.. so you're not the only one there..
however i can't offer any solution because i don't have a clue..

How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s
How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?
I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
Plug your phone into the computer.
I-Tunes should open.
Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
Select Music in the sidebar.
In the right window, your music should appear.
De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
Voila.

How do I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s (v 7.1.2)?
I've tried syncing my phone whilst selecting no songs to be synced, but after the process is supposedly finished, all my music is still on my iPhone. Also many of my songs are unplayable on my iPhone, they're titles appear faded and cannot be individually deleted by swiping the song title to the left.
Yes all my music was synced from this computer.
When I go to the music tab in my iPhone menu (I assume that's the "Music" you are referring to) and uncheck "Sync Music" then all that is present on that page is the box that includes the following options:
"Entire music library
Selected playlists,artists, albums and genres
Include music videos
Include voice memos"
Furthermore, the bar that displays the storage distribution at the bottom of the page indicates that I have 10.43 GB free whereas when I check how much free space I have available from the settings on my iPhone, it tells me that I have 4.2 GB available. -
iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.
To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -
I'm not sure why it deleted everything. I had rearranged and cleaned up my desktop earlier, but I know for a fact I didn't delete anything. Now, I go onto my Itunes and only two songs I bought off Itunes are there. I had more that I bought, but even the ones I took off my CDs aren't there anymore. I had over four hundred songs and they're all gone. I can put all the music back on because I have it saved elsewhere, but I want to prevent this from happening again. Does anyone know what might have happened? I really want to keep using Itunes, but its becoming more of a hassle than anything.

I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please
You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

I accidentally deleted all my music from iTunes I was able to recover the music. How can I restore playlists?
If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12256388
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.

I'm setting up my new iPhone and already have an iTunes account. It's asking me if I would like to set up as a new iPhone, or Restore from the backup of my iTouch. If i set up as a new iPhone will that delete all my music from my previous iTunes account?
It will not do anything at all to your computer.

If you're talking about on the iPad and you got it there by syncing, simply de-sync it to remove it all.

iOS 8.0
I have "Sync music" unchecked on iTunes and I have cleared all my music from my iPhone.
On my Mac, on itunes (version 11.4) if you click on "on this phone", there are still remaining 70 songs...
how to clear it from itunes "on this phone" ?What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account." The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases. It is also used with iCloud. iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod. If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked). If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want). Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists. Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod. -
How do I transfer all my music FROM my iphone TO iTunes
how do I transfer all my music FROM my iphone TO iTunes
In iTunes, File>Transfer Purchases.
Anything not purchased from the iTunes store can not be transferred from the phone to a computer without purchasing 3rd party software to do so. It is not a backup device or data transfer device. -
My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. ThanksHey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -
