Music randomly deletes from iPhone music library?

I currently have an iPhone 6, and I have quite a few downloaded albums. However, once and a while I will notice some of my songs or a whole album have disappeared. They are not gone, the way I have to get them back is from going into the purchased music on iTunes. I would like to prevent this. I do share the apple ID account with three other people.

Music is also disappearing from my itunes library and the above does not resolve my issues.
Firstly I forgot the password for my original itunes username 10 years ago so set up a new one then. All the music I bought from the first login name has now gone - how do I get it back? Secondly albums that I have bought / been given have disappeared - itunes now says it cannot locate original file and sends me to old itunes libraries which, when I click on them, don't seem to work. I am very upset as the first album my son bought me has now disappeared and I want it back!
Can anyone help?

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

ITunes album artwork randomly removed from iPhone after sync.

iTunes 12.1.0.50. IOS 8.1.3. iPhone 5. 23GB free space on iPhone.
Album art is randomly removed from iPhone after sync. This seems to be new to the recent version of iTunes.
Removed and reinstalled all music. No help, problem still occurs.
Restored iPhone as a new iPhone and reinstalled all music. At first, all artwork was installed, but on later sync, random artwork was removed or missing. Problem reoccurs.
This appears to be a bug in the software somewhere.
Anyone having similar problems?

welcome to my world....
i have had this at least three times now in the past month.
I too had to do a factory reset and set up a a new phone.
i read an article about it being a known issue and something to do with duplicate tracks causing it to hang during sync. it then fills up the available space with the dreaded "other" data and hey ho you have no music.
have a look at this, hope it helps and hope Apple get it fixed as it is affecting a lot of people

Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted. Trash can be bulk deleted.

Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted. Trash can be bulk deleted.

Each has to be deleted.
But it can go faster if the iPhone is held in the horizontal position, then on the left side listing tap Edit in the upper raight bar of that pane, and just tap each email to be deleted, then when you have a batch to delete, tap delete at the bottom left. That is the fastest way I have found.

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:
Save photos to your computer

Reinstall it from the computer's original disks or an iLife 09 or earlier install DVD, and then run all applicable iPhoto updaters.

iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

Hi, messages still appear in iPhone search even after they are deleted from iPhone.

Yes and as long as you are signed into iCloud - you can even use that phone to iMessage
The messages stay on there until you wipe / erase / restore your old phone

Can't get music deleted from iPhone when syncing

I had a computer crash and had to restore all music from backup drives, iPods and iPhone.
I built my iTunes library back and am ready to sync again with my iPods and iPhone.
There's no problem with the iPods.
All music that was on there is automaticly deleted and the iPod syncs perfectly with the new built library.
With the iPhone though it's not working.
On the iTunes screen I can see there's no music left.
But after syncing the music always seems to come back and can't get removed from the iPhone.
I sync the iPhone by selecting the playlists.
So on top it says 0 music gets syncronised when I haven't selected any playlist. On the bottom of the screen there's no music and the iPhone seems almost empty.
That's good, as I want the new library to be put on the iPhone.
But after syncing I can see there are no playlists on my iPhone anymore, which is correct, but the music itself stays on the iPhone.
I don't know what's happening.
Usually when I select some playlists or unselect others, this affects the syncing of the titles immediatley, putting songs from the selected playlists on the iPhone and deleting the other ones.
But now it's very strange.
The playlists are deleted or added the way I want them to be be, but the music itself stays on the iPhone, always giving me the notice that there's not enough space on the iPhone.
I just can't see what's happening. I've been doing this without any problem for such a long time.
But now it doesn't make sense to me.
Looking at the screen after not selecting any playlists, there shouldn't be any song synced to the iPhone.
That's what I also see on the bottom of the screen. But when clicking on syncronising, after a while it's full again, meaning no music is erased form the iPhone.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, I tried but it didn't work well enough.
I have two screens and when I take screenshots, the picture of the iTunes screen is too little to make sense.
I'll try to explain what I'm doing now.
I only selected one playlist, containing 27 songs.
When I syncronize it says there's 52 GB free space, which is almost everything.
There's almost no audio. that's good as it's only about 27 songs here.
So far so good.
The thing I had to look for, 'On this phone' is not on top of the page, but on the left my iPhone appears as a device in the menu.
When clicking on it I can see Music, Films, TV shows and the one playlist I syncronized.
Films and TV shows are empty, in music only the 27 songs appear.
Still so far so good.
But then when I click on synchronising again all of a sudden it's filled with audio again for 52 GB.
There's almost no free space. However there's still only one playlist with 27 songs marked to syncronize and in Music I can still only see the 27 songs.
After a while it jumps back again to 52 GB of free space with almost no music.
The thing is it looks good on the iTunes screen.
The iPhone appears to be almost empty and in Music I can only see the songs of one playlist.
On the iPhone itself though all the music is still there.
So there's no correllation ibetween what iTunes is showing, almost no music, and what my iPhone itself is showing.
I just can't get rid of the music that was still on my iPhone before I had a computer hard drive crash.
I want to get rid of the old stuff on my iPhone, so I can sync it again with the new music library I created.
Do you think it's possible that it's something to do with iCloud or things like that?
Is there no other way to empty my iPhone from all the music and afterwards sync it again, without losing all the other stuff?
I'm using iPods from the beginning, having a big music library of 40.000 songs.
I never had a problem like this, though I'm very used of suncing iPods with certain playlists, artists etc.

Music mysteriously deleted from Iphone

I have 5s with iOS 8.0 update. Majority of my music has been deleted from my phone. I don't understand how this could happen. I haven't deleted any data from my phone. The only thing that I've done is put restriction on my phone so that I can browse the web without being redirected to App Store. Could this be because of the update or another factor?

I'm not sure how this happened, but I can try to help you get your music back.
Music purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again for free. (not available in all countries)
Music ripped from CDs or synced through iTunes have to be synced through iTunes again.
