My IPhone 4 deleted all my music not from ITunes

When it deleted all my music I synced it up with my computer and got all my songs back but it mixed up all the album covers. Anyone know how to fix it

I realize that you posted this in July, but I had the exact same problem and just talked to Apple Care and they helped me fix it.
What you need to do is:
1. Plug in your iPhone, click on it on the sidebar, and then click the music tab.
2. Uncheck "Sync Music" in the upper lefthand corner.
3. Answer yes to the "Are you sure you want to delete all of your music?" question.
4. Recheck "Sync Music."
5. Click apply in the bottom righthand corner.
6. If it doesn't start syncing or doing something automatically, hit sync.
Mine took about 3 minutes to start showing that the syncing was happening e.g., "Copying 1 of 3655 to Lily's iPhone," so be a little patient.
Hope this helps!

My iPhone automatically shuffles all the music in my iTunes library.

Hi, I have a problme with my iPhone (OS 6.0.1) music app.
It automatically shuffles all the musics in my iTunes library no matter what I do. In addition, when I push the "forward skip" bottun, the music app will jump to other song, not the next song, as it likes. This means that my music app cannot play all the albums in my ITunes Library in proper order.
I want to listen to musics in proper order. Is there any solution to fix this problem? Other devices are working properly.

Yes. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.

I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.

For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

Hey all
I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

Paid for (not from Itunes store) music downloaded not showing up in library as usual. Imported CD also not appearing as usual. What gives?

I have seen 3 potential solutions in this forum
1) If you are using iTunes Match Store > Update iTunes Match
2) Logging out of itunes store and logging in again
3) Downloading Free single of the week - no idea why this should work but people have reported it does

Music not from iTunes

hi i was just wondering if i can put music onto my ipod nano that is not from iTunes. i am having great difficulty

u gotta play around more with iTunes functions if you're not familiar. In fact, I am a newbie myself, just got my Nano last week. U'd probably need to create a new playlist in your Nano, and just drag&drog any files from iTune library to your new playlist. On the other hand, I suggest you read up the iTune manuals, would be easier for you to get around iTune. Hope this helps

My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

Hi,
I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
Thanks

An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.

From my pc i deleted inotes in my gmail and it deleted all of my notes from my ipad and my iphone....how can I resore them?

I was cleaning up my gmail account while on my pc and I deleted "inotes" and "itrash" not knowing what they were. When I opened my ipad, my notes were there for a second, but as I was looking at them, they deleted automatically. They are gone from my iphone too. I have a macbook pro and I'm wondering how I can get them off of that before it updates and they disappear (if that's what's happening). I had no idea I was deleting my notes. I REALLY need to get them back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Deleted all the 2217 songs from itunes...

I, ofcourse, HAD to play with the music folder in my finder, and had to ACCIDENTLY delete all the songs.
So, i go into itunes and, as ever, hit 'play'...
when, SUDDENLY..
Thank you thank you, no need for comments
itunes can' locate any of my songs. pathetic.
it happened few minutes ago, btw.
i never stood this calm after such a enourmous collapse..
However, i got them all BACKUPED on my ipod!!! THNX god such a thing was invented!!
But, what i thought that would be the smallest problemo, now is smth i can't figure out.
HOW to switch off the automatical update of my ipod, when i can't change any of my ipod settings if ipod isn't connected to the comp. and if i connect it, ipod will, ofcourse delete all the songs cause its on automaticly updating..
i was able to do that once..

Hello,
You can't directly sync or drag music from your iPod to iTunes library.
If your iTunes is set for "Automatic" in "Preferences -> iPod" (the default setting), connecting your iPod to iTunes now would automatically delete all the content off your iPod. This action cannot be reversed.
Instead, connect your iPod to your computer. Get ready, and as soon as the iPod displays "do Not Disconnect" on the screen, begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys for 20-30 seconds, as iTunes loads up. This will prevent any auto-syncing from clearing the songs off your iPod.
Now, onto the transferring.
You can have a third-party program do this copying for you; see a selection of them here:
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
I hope this helps you,

How may I prevent loss of Music - not from iTunes - on a new computer?

The original iTunes Library I had for my iPod Touch was on a computer that has broken down.
I am concerned about what I'm reading in the iTunes HELP files, because I see no way to prevent loss of my non-purchased (at least from iTunes) music when syncing with a newly authorized computer. I do not have all of the original CDs anymore for most of this music.
I have just installed iTunes on this new computer & wish to save ALL current iPod Touch content into this new and empty iTunes Library! What must I do to save my non-purshased content?
I did just do a BACKUP of my iPod contents but have stopped there, not knowing if it will contain everything... What now?
THANKS!

Well, I really do appreciate your input Kappy. When it comes to doing backups, your info is correct and, in general, very helpful. I am suspicious, however if it will actually have any bearing on the iTunes interaction and what iTunes will allow me to place into the new library.
As for iTunes and what it will allow - or not allow, I'm not sure that the backup will allow me to slip it into the library per se. I thinking that it's an iTunes issue instead of a backup issue, but maybe not...
If I had any other model than a Touch, I believe I could use the iPod as a hard drive and transfer accordingly, but having a Touch, I do think my original question remains unanswered.
Thanks again!

I've backed up my macbook onto a LACIE hard drive but when I open my music files there's nothing on the hard drive. I've already deleted all my music files from the macbook. Help?

My ipad has deleted all of my songs from iTunes... I spent a lot of money building my collection and I'm pretty upset :( what can I do about this??

I don't understand why, but I no longer have any songs on my ipad on iTunes... I'm devastated because that is a lot of money I have lost :( please help!!!

You haven't lost them, you can download them all again without having to pay for them again. It might be a pain in the butt to have to do it, but you will get them back. The forts thing that I would do is to reset the iPad and see if the songs come back.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If they don't come back, go to the purchase tab of the iTunes Store and tap on the Music tab at the top. Them tap on Not on this iPad. You will be able to download all of the songs by tapping on the close icon next to the song.

How did I add my new music (not from itunes) on my phone?

I downloaded some music from another location. It is showing up in my itunes, but when I plug my iphone 5 into the computer, my new music isn't showing up. How do i sync this new music to my phone? This phone has been giving me so many problems and is driving me crazy!!

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Music not from Itunes starts to play in background

I am unable to find the source of music that starts to play. This is not anything in my Itunes library, Itunes is not on when this occurs. I tried using Activity Monitor to see the source but no clues, could this be malware, or a virus, the music starts to play after browsing on safari and playing a news clip, or video. Any thoughts, this is driving me nuts.

Thank you, I looked at the dashboard and there are pasted images and clips of pokemon characters and when I place the cursor over them, the music starts to play. I left my work computer unlocked on saturday and my seven year old son went surfing the net and found a pokemon web site and he told me he was clicking on lots of things. I now enabled the password setting on the screen saver to keep this from happening again.
