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.

when i purchase ringtones and they download directly to the music app on iphone, how can I move them to SOUNDS in SETTINGS so I can assign to various functions please?
You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer. -
hi, recently i have forgotten my passcode to my itouch and it has disabled it. if i connect my itouch to my current itunes to enable it, will my music/apps etc be deleted off my ipad? thankyou!
You need to place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Can't delete iTunes Match music from Music app in iOS 6 Music app?!
Totally insane - the ability to delete music downloaded from iTunes match has been removed from the iOS 6 Music app! No more "swipe left and delete". I can't find any way to delete music, in fact. Can someone please tell me this is a massive mistake that will quickly be fixed. How did this make it through to the final release?!
The topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
Apple change the way iTM works in iOS 6 to no longer allow downloading or deleting of individual tracks with iTunes Match enabled. To delete individual tracks iTM must first be disabled; to delete all downloaded music from the iOS device go to settings > general > usage, tap Music then swipe All Music and tap delete. -

Can't open Music app on iPhone 4s
Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the red off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

Help, my pre-installed music app has been deleted from my home page. It is still in the settings but no app to play music from. I love my music!
StarrbelleLocate it- Scroll through the home screens !
Hold your finger on it till the icons start jiggling now move it to the left of the screen and hold it there.
In the back ground the homescreens scroll back towards your first screen.
When you reach the first home screen position icon where you want (If you have sixteen -the last one will move to the second home screen)
Whilst they are jiggling choose which ones you want on the first home screen.
You can also add access to more by creating folders containing similar types of apps by dropping one app icon on another icon as well.
When finished organizing press the home button to fix the setting.
Similarly you can add or remove app icon short cuts from the dock to suit your preference.
When you move them off the dock they are added to your home screens. (think of the home screens as an analogous to the desktop of your PC -

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itunes store ??!
I can do it in my mac why not iphone . This is a really huge mistake compare to android phonesHi Ferretbite
Thank you for answering me but i dont think you relize what Iam asking for
first itunes store need an American apple ID with an American credit to purchase DIRECTLY from iphone and this all people outside US dont have , so no one outside US and (major countries) can download music directly from thier Iphone
Second , if we assume I can download from itunes , itunes store dont have all the music you need for example Iam in middle east I listen to arabic music and itunes dont have most of the arabic music I listen to and this is a HUGE problem for all costumers in middle east and similiar countries .
Third, mac users can download music from the internet other than itunes store even if it illegal why that ?? and NOT all free websites are illegal like (nogomistars) for arabic music .
I just want to say that I love my iphone and I love apple. But you should give iphone users a free using for their phones like you do with mac users for the reason that i gave it you above .
Sorry for the long reply tc -

hello, why is all of my music on my iphone but only a few songs on my itunes on my laptop? it seems like its not updating on my laptop because it still says i have credit and i know i that there isnt any please help thanks
If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ? -

I am installing iCloud. My last step is to update store preferences. All selections (music, apps, books, etc.) are grey and cannot be ticked as suggested. Any ideas?
I'm assuming that Rosersberg is in Sweden (?). If it is then you are in a country where music can't currently be re-downloaded from the store, only apps and ibooks. If you still have your old computer with your music on it then you should be able to copy it over from it e.g. via file sharing, an external drive : copying content.

Syncing iPhone to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.
