Purchased ringtones disappeared off phone after upgrade

Since upgrading my iPhone recently and using iCloud I've lost all the ringtones I'd purchased and they don't appear on iTunes to download again. How can I rectify this please?

I have same issue. I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work. I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear. I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work. The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1).
Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

Entire library of music erased off ipod after sync

Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gb running IOS 8.2
For the 4th time since updating to IOS 8.2, whenever i try to add new music to my ipod through itunes, when the ipod syncs with itunes, ALL of my music is erased off the ipod.
Manually manage music and videos is selected. I do not have itunes/ipod automatically sync music. I have "prevent devices from syncing automatically" enabled.
So heres the basic rundown of what happens.
1-upload music to ipod
2-let music copy over
3-upload more music to ipod
4-ipod/itunes begin sync
5-syncing stops without copying music over
6-all music vanishes off ipod after sync "completes"
looking at my ipod music list in itunes, it shows all my music. when you click on them to play them, ! shows up next to ALL songs.
when you look at the music on the ipod itself, nothing is there.
this is what it looks like for the music that has be synced before, that has suddenly disappeared

from my experience, the music is still there. the database is screwed up when itunes recognizes the music, but the ipod doesnt see it.
what ive discovered, after the database crashes and everything is gone, see if you can find this info out. anytime ive had this issue, there are normally a few songs that wont copy over and itunes says "could not convert"(i have itunes setup to convert songs of high bitrate to aac 128kbps). when i go to delete those songs(because they show up on the ipod, but are greyed out), thats when the database crashes, and everything vanishes.
my fix for this issue is this:
unplug ipod from computer and turn off
close itunes
restart ipod
open itunes
plug in ipod
sync ipod with itunes
copy over one or two of failed songs
watch itunes start to sync, sit at "waiting for changes to be applied" for a few minutes
watch all my missing music reappear(over the course of about 10 hours, takes a few minutes to recopy 4000 songs)
annoying and frustrating, but until apple can recognize this issue and put a fix in, this is the best solution i can think of besides throwing my ipod at the wall and fix the solution permanently. but that wont get me very far because of my lifeproof case.

Why is my music no longer playing on my phone after iOS7 update?

I updated my phone to iOS7 (yay!) but now the majority of my music will not play on my my phone. The music plays on my computer just fine, but doesn't appear to sync to my phone now. This is how my 32 gig phone now appears on iTunes:
It's filled to the correct levels... but says I have half of my phone free. Which I don't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Susie

I just found this and it seems to be working.
ChrisJ4203 said "Is the Apple ID you are signed into the phone with the same as the Apple ID the music is with in iTunes? Can you try and sign out by going to Settings>iTunes and App Stores. Click on your Apple ID, select Sign out. Do a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, then go back there and sign back in again. See if that helps."
Seems to work! I actually have two different apple accounts for my phone and for my iTunes (when I got my phone the guy did not tell me how important it was to have one account!)
So this may be the case for many people!

4.3 upgrade on 3GS, Music disappears from phone once you download a Podcast

Anyone having the same problem? Since I've upgraded to 4.3, if I download a podcast on my phone via wifi, all my music disappears and so do my podcasts. They are still on the phone but it says "there is no music, download from iTunes"
Music is easily restored if I connect the phone with my mac and play a song from my phone through iTunes.
Anyone know how to "cure" this?

The basics from the manual are reset, restart, restore.
Have you tried any of these?

Mail Disappears off iPad after I access my mail on Mac

I have a MacPro desktop, iPad, and iPhone, all tied together, all running the most recent updates. Recently, my iPad was acting up and not retrieving my mail on my main account. The other devices were (and continue to be) just fine. I deleted that mail account off my iPad, then added it back in. Email began behaving and getting delivered just like always EXCEPT if I then check email on my MacPro. Once I do that, all inbox email associated with my main account, both read and unread COMPLETELY disappears off my iPad. Even if the message is flagged, it is gone. Everything stays put on the Mac and the iPhone until I delete it or otherwise.
I searched these communities and thus far have tried shutting down all background apps, restarting (multiple times) and changed the delete messages setting to "never", which really should only matter to trashed messages, not those sitting in my inbox.
I checked the "server port" on my phone and compared it to the one on my iPad. They were different, so I put them both on the same one as the iPhone. The message showed up on the Mac and on the iPad, but as soon as I refreshed the mail (such as to update), **POOF** the message in my inbox was gone on the iPad.
I would be most appreciative if someone could offer me insight as to why this occurs and how I can fix it. Likely it is some squirrelly setting I haven't discovered yet, but I am hoping one of you geniuses out there can set me straight!
Thank you in advance~

Well, cripes. My husband just saved the day for me. We had to force the iPad to take a POP account. Here's how we did that:
Create a new mail account on the iPad with a bogus email address and a different name from your problematic IMAP account. In my case, I doubled up on a number that is part of my email address. Thankfully, nobody else had that email address
When the iPad refused to add the account because it was a bogus email address and came up with the error message, THEN it let me choose the ability to add a POP account.
I was able to edit out the extra number from the bogus email address to my true email address. I had to do this in three places: the main account name, the inbox info and the outbox info, and take out the "IMAP.xxxxx " part and replace it with the "mail.xxxxxx" entry that goes with my POP account (that was listed in the settings on both of my other devices that were behaving: the iPhone and the MacPro).
Now you should have two accounts for the same email address (with two different names) showing on the iPad. Go back through mail settings and "DELETE ACCOUNT" for the IMAP version that was screwing everything up.
Inbox messages should now stay on your iPad because it is using the same type of account the other devices are.
Apple, why in the name of all things good and electronic would you make it a default to IMAP without an obvious way to choose to do a POP? Good grief I had a week of stress over this whole thing and nobody else seemed able to figure it out either.

Music disappearing from playlists after sync with itunes?

So I have a bunch of songs that I ripped from CDs or got the MP3 files from friends. I add some of them to a playlist, that's fine. But when I purchase a few songs from iTunes on my phone and add them to the playlist, they appear there temporarily. The problem happens when I sync my phone with iTunes, then all of my purchased music disappears from the playlist. It's still on my phone, but not in the playlist. Why does it do this, and how do I fix it? This is really discouraging me from using iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

its in the name
iphoto
only syncs photos but u can click and drag to itunes then sync

I can no longer add music to my phone after using tones

I got a new iPhone 5C and I am trying to make tones for it. I used an app to make a tone and when I enable Synching Tones All Tones I can no longer add music to my phone through iTunes. When I try to drag and drop a music file the icon has a red circle with a line through it.

Hello Skymeck,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple of threads from the Communities that explain how to add tones to your phone. You might want to review them to ensure you are adding them correctly and not getting in the way of syncing music.

Music disappearing from phone ios 7

Ever since updating to ios 7 (and still with 7.0.2), some of my music has been randomly disappearing from the music app. I'll select a song, then the song will then skip to the next song and onto the next and so on until it finds a song that plays. You can see the artwork of the record(s) flip many times and the song track name change. If it can't find a song, it will dump me back to the Artist list. I read a few other forums where beta testers were reportin this back in July, but couldn't find any resolution. My only real resolution is syncing the phone with itunes, removing all the songs & podcasts, then putting the songs back.
I do have a few ideas on what is causing this. I'm big into podcasts and sync my phone with itunes many times a day to make the played/uplayed list on the podcast app on the phone and the podcast section of itunes match up perfectly. I figured to rely on my phone to look at what was played and then have the podcast in itunes be marked as played, but this doesn't happen all the time... the phone keeps the played podcasts on the phone (when it shouldn't) and doesn't put all the unplayed podcasts on the phone. I would then mark what was played on the phone and then in itunes and sync the phone again so only unplayed podcasts show on the phone and sync again. During this second sync, the "waiting for changes to be applied" shows on itunes for a long time before finally completing. I feel this would be the cause to my problem, the syncing one after the other after manually correcting. I'll see if manually maintaining my podcasts on my phone and itunes will prevent the issue, but I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem

I just now noticed my iphone 4s/ios7 doing the same thing. Insanely frustrating!
I synced last night as I had some new music I wanted on my iphone. all of the new music is playing but anything that was previously on there is deleting itself when I try to play it.
This is maybe the first time I've synced since the 7.0.2 update. I guess I'll to manually remove all of the music and then add it back in to see if it works.
I've been generall disappointed with the ios7 music app and have been considering a music app called in:play as it looks to have better navigation functionality. This may be the impetus I need to try it out.
An insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Music disappearing from iPhone after iTunes Wifi Sync

I have an iPhone 4S and a Mac Mini (2010). On four or five occasions since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6, after a wi-fi sync, all or almost all of my music has disappeared from my phone (sometimes the most recent podcasts remain).
Simply syncing again (over wi-fi or USB) doesn't fix it. To fix it, I need to uncheck "Sync Music" and "Sync Podcasts" on the Mac, sync, recheck them, and sync again. Then it works for a while.
Additional context: like others, I've been experiencing other issues with wi-fi sync since installing iOS 6. In general, I can't initiate a sync from the phone, either manually or by plugging it in. I can sync from the Mac, but sometimes the Mac becomes unable to find the iPhone on the network. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on again seems to fix this and allow the Mac to initiate a sync.
Shortly after installing iOS 6, I restored the iPhone and set it up as a new phone, hoping that would fix the sync connectivity problems (it didn't). More recently, I restored from backup. Didn't help.
Is anyone else experiencing the disappearance of the music? Any suggestions? Is it likely to be an iPhone problem or a Mac problem?
Thanks
Ben

The exact same problem has been happening on my iPhone as well. Very irritating. Drives me mad.
Although unfortunately I don't have a solution, I would like to ask you something. When you were setting up your iPhone, did you choose to restore from iCloud so that your iTunes purchased musics would fly into your decive?
The reason I'm asking this is that in my opinion, a conflict happens when making a Wi-Fi sync about deciding music storage so that an erase happens by itself. And it's probably a corner case so that it doesn't happen every time.
Also, as a side note, all the countless times I Wi-Fi synced my iPad, which was not iCloud restored, nothing like this never ever happened.

Music disappearing from phone

Music that I have purchased from iTunes directly from my 5S has disappeared from the phone music library. I'm not sure when exactly it started, but they are disappearing at random. I never connect my phone to a computer for syncing, only to charge (connect to my work computer to charge, but it is not linked to an iTunes account on this computer). The music does not all delete at once, but a little at a time. At first I thought I was crazy and was thinking of music that I had downloaded to my iPod and not my iPhone, but now I'm certain that songs that have been purchased & downloaded directly to the phone are no longer there. They are in my cloud to re-download, but I need to know why they are randomly disappearing one by one from my phone. It's been old and new purchases that are disappearing. I'm still operating on OS 8.1.2 and have not yet downloaded 8.1.3.

Contacts disappeared from phone after iOS 4.2 update

I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 4.2 and after some contacts disappeared from my phone but are still on my computer. I've tried resetting sync history, I even restored the phone and the same contacts still won't show up. I have a PC that runs Windows 7, I've been using it since September and I never had this issue before.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you also try to use the option to replace all contacts on the phone with the ones on the computer during the following sync? You can find this option in the info pane, advanced section.

Why does my all-day events disappear off iCal after Mountain Lion upgrade

After upgrading to mountin lion, I can no longer see any all-day events on my imac. They are still visible on my iphone. If they are entered on my imac, as soon as I check the box for all-day event, the entry disappears from the calendar. Any ideas?

Solved this myself. In the View menu you (I) need to check "Show All-Day Events".
