Music disappeared after upgrade to iOS 8.2

When my iPhone 5 (A1429) went through the upgrade to iOS 8.2, it crashed during the process. When restarted it seemed to complete fine - with one caveat: most of my music has disappeared.
I've Googled for previous fixes of the issue, not least after 4.2, such as selecting my phone in iTunes and playing a track from there. It's had no effect. I've restarted my iPhone, and switched iTunes Match off and back on and restarted again - all to no avail.
iTunes will sync with the iPhone, but results in no changes.
In the "Sync music" section, it does give me the option to sync "Entire Music Library" - but it says I can't because I'm over capacity by 15GB.
I'm paying for iTunes Match to keep my music in the cloud, so don't understand what's going on at all.
Anyone have any advice, please?

It's okay - got this figured out with help from Apple Support - my iPhone had somehow switched off "iTunes Match"! Now solved.

Music disappears after upgrading to IOS 4.2!!

I upgraded to IOS 4.2 today and, even though iTunes says my music is still in my iPod, my iPod seems to think otherwise. All of my music and videos are gone from my iPod when I open Music or Movies, but when I plug it in to the computer they all show up in iTunes. Don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but I need a fix!!!

Hello Kiwi913,
There are a couple of different things you can try that have worked for a few others who have ran into this situation after upgrading.
The first is a hard reset of the iPod Touch itself. To do this, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together until the Apple logo appears. It might not hurt to try this procedure more than once if no luck the first time.
Otherwise, you may need to hook the iPod back up to iTunes and simply complete a Sync operation. Once it has finished, properly disconnect your iPod and see if your Media is now where it should be.

Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

Problems with music app after upgrading to iOS 5

i'm very particular with the organization of my ipod stuff. it has to have album art and it has to be properly sorted out by artist and album. after upgrading to iOS 5 i found several problems with the music app:
1. some artists dont show on the artist section. i've tried fixing the album artist info, sorting info etc and nothing.
2. some albums duplicate themselves in the albums section and it only gets cured if you delete a certain song in the album. if you try putting the song back the albums duplicate again.
3. some album art dont show. i've tried plugging in the album cover directly to the song/s in the ipod, and deleting the song and recopying the song from itunes and still nothing.
anyone care to weigh in?
did i mess up the installation?

I just spent hours trying to solve same (I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen) and I am very picky about its organization too. What I can tell you:
1- The artists suddenly not showing in the artist section: Double-check that their albums are not marked as "part of a compilation"... because I had 8 artists disappearing after the upgrade and all their albums were marked as "part of...". After removing that "compilation" tag, all 8 artists reappeared where they had been all along under the previous iOS, namely under the Artists category.
2- I had an album that did not want the artwork to show. And each time I was able to transfer it back with the art, it would duplicate tracks on the iPod Touch. I finally was able to solve it by deleting manually from the iPod the album (by slowing dragging my finger to the right on the album title and click on the delete button when it appeared) then by deleting it also from the iTunes library and syncing. Then I reloaded the album in iTunes and resynced on the iPod Touch and the album reappeared without duplicates and with the artwork.
3- Finally, one album was correct (track-wise) but no artwork. I double-checked everything and manually check the info for each track and 2 tracks had not artwork attached to it and a 3rd had 2 artworks. I manually attached the correct artwork to each track THEN to the whole album. Then I resynced and everything FINALLY worked fine.
OUFF!

No sound from the 'Music' app after upgrading to iOS 5

After upgrading to iOS 5 I went to play music in the new 'Music' App. However, no sound came from the iphone (3gS) athough the songs continued to play. Has anyone encountered this issue and how have you resolved it. I thank you for responding to my question.

Hi Guys,
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

I have experienced the same problem. After Apple kindly informed me there was a new OS for my iPod Touch and did I want to upgrade, I foolishly said yes. After a very long download period, the upgrade was completed. But when I turned on my Touch for some music, I got a message there was no content. When I look at the su7mmary page, it says there are 6.8 Gb of music on my iPod. WHAT IS GOING ON?? THIS IS CAUSE FOR SHOUTING.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I gave you the answer, hours before you ever posted. Did you even read it?

Pictures taken during iOS 4 disappeared after upgrade to iOS 4.1

I have a iPhone 3G, and I upgraded to iOS 4 fairly soon after it came out. I took a bunch of pictures over the summer, and they are all on my computer (synced at least once), but I cannot view them on my iPhone - they show up as black boxes. When I start the "Albums" application, I get the message:
iTunes Sync Needed
High resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer you sync photos from and launch iTunes to sync them.
I have done this, I even created a special folder for them in iPhoto and tried to sync them back - with no success. Any thoughts on what is going on and what the above message means?
Thanks.

The iPhone was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier
The iPhone was hacked to release the AT&T lock and updating it has relocked the iPhone
Only AT&T can process the unlocking procedure
Certainly not Apple

IPod music lost after upgrading to iOS 8.3

I own a 5th generation iPod touch. When I connected to my computer the iTunes prompted me to update to the latest iOS available i.e., 8.3 and I accepted it. In the process it downloaded the software and restarted my iPod but somewhere in that process I got a prompt in iTunes stating a Unknown error occurred. I verified the iPod to see if the device is up and running. It showed the latest OS version 8.3 but to my dismay there were no music albums at all. All the songs which I had in the iPod prior to the upgrade were vanished.
I tried the restore option in iTunes which was backed-up just before the upgrade (automatically by the upgrade process), but looks like it only restores contacts, calendars etc but not the music.
When I connect my iPod to the computer it sometimes shows the space usage as if the music prior to the upgrade is still in the iPod. Even the Songs and other information are still shown in both the iPod & the iTunes. But when I play it will show exclamation mark against that file in iTunes and in iPod it just keeps skipping to the next song and nothing gets played as there are no songs at all.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this weird loss of data from iPod.

First get the songs to play in iTunes on the computer. Re Import CD music to iTunes or redownload iTunes purchases
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

All of my old notes disappeared after upgrading to ios 6.1, how do I get them back?

I upgraded by iPhone 4s and iPad 2 to IOS 6.1. Now all of my old notes are gone. Is there a way to retrieve them?
Thanks,
Marti Garner

I was having this same issue. I went into Settings -> iCloud and turned the Notes sync ON (which when I tried to do previously, i was prompted to create an iCloud email address which I already had). Once I turned that on, I went to Settings ->Notes and I now see a "Default Account" selection which is set to iCloud. Now all of my new notes save on the phone and on the cloud. This doesn't fix the fact that I appear to have forever LOST all the notes I had before iOS6.1. Apple, we're still waiting for a response???

Ghostwriter notes disappeared after upgrading to IOS 5. Help?

I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 5 and now all of my notes in Ghostwriter are gone. I do have two different Apple ID's.... I know -that was dumb. Any way to get my notes back?

I have even checked in my Home folder on my Mac under Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox to see if any of the time machine back-ups contain the missing note, and no such luck. This is really strange that there would not be back-ups, which leads me to believe that maybe that particular note may have been stored in another location... but I do not where that would have been or how to try to retrieve it.

Music albums purchased in March are no longer in my iPad and iPod after upgrading to iOS 7 why?

After upgrading to iOS 7 all the music albums purchased in March are no longer in the iPad or the iPod although in the iTunes Store are shown as purchased. How I can get them back?

Your original post:
I upgraded an iPad 2 to iOS 7 and since then SIRI no longer works when pressing the HOME button. The settings for SIRI has also disappeared in the GENERAL settings. I have searched and found no posts with this issue!
iPad 2, iOS 7

Perhaps it might help if you posted your model number as it seems unclear which iPad you actually have. Settings>General>About
Best of luck.

After upgrading to iOS 7, my phone will no longer play music through my uconnect car audio, even after re-pairing... any ideas?

I have a 2012 jeep and my 4s was perfect for playing music from my phone. After upgrading to iOS 7, the uconnect no longer will play music thru the bluetooth... The phone works fine and I have re-paired the device to the uconnect, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas or settings that I can change on the phone? Uconnect basically says that it is, what it is.. they cant change the settings on the stereo.... HELP!

In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.
