My music has disappeared from my phone

hi all,
had music on my phone this morning, just plugged in my headphones to listen to music and I have zero. Plugged my phone into my laptop once today but didn't click anything. When I plugged my phone into iTunes just now, my music comes up in the ''on this device'' section, but it isn't playable and when I click it, a exclamation mark comes up beside it. Can someone help please? I had a lot of music on it from over the years and I don't want to have re download what I lost.
thanks

Select it to sync to your iphone and sync.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • Most of the music has disappeared from my iPhone!

    For no apparent reason about 80% of the music has disappeared from my iPhone, and I am traveling so most of those songs live on my home hard drive and are inaccessible to me. How and why does that happen, and how do I fix it? iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2. I did absolutely nothing other than plug my phone in to charge it prior to this happening.

    I posted a similar issue.  My new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2 only partially syncs my music library.  Even bought the 128GB to ensure no issues.  Apple Care could not help.

    You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

  • HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

    I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
    I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

    If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
    Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
    Backup the iTunes Library Files
    The library files are in:
    My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
    Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

    Safari has disappeared from my phone.  How do I reinstall?

    You should check 'general-->settings-->restrictions' - toggle must be on.
    If it will not help you - you have to Restore your iPhone in iTunes and setup it as a new iPhone.

  • My music has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

    The music I have purchased from the itunes store has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

    There is a way of getting your music back if you have purchased it - go to the itunes store, click "purchased" under the "quick links" on the right hand side of the page, near the top, and then it allows you to re-download anything that you have purchased under that apple id. Phew! Over 200 songs - I'm glad i found this out!

  • TA38616 Safari has disappeared from my phone - how do I get it back?

    Safari has disappeared from our iPhone. It's nowhere to be found with apps, and isn't listed in settings anymore. FaceTime is also gone. No idea how they disappeared. How do I get them back? Do I need to do a full reset?

    Make sure to mark the thread as solved so others can refer to it for help. Let me know if you need anything else!
    Edit: I'd put a password on your phone to prevent changes like this. You can have one that is required to unlock it, but if you have others (kids, family) use the phone and don't want that, you can still put a password just to prevent changes to certain settings. Might help in the future.

  • Music has disappeared from my iPhone 5

    I have a 32 GB iPhone 5 with ios 8.1.2. Music has started deleting from it reCently. I have no synced my phone to iTunes in at least a couple of months, so it is nothing with a syncing problem. It seems that this is only happening to the music i purchased on my iPhone in the past year or so. All music either ripped from CD, downloaded from the Internet, or purchased a long time ago are fine. For example, I have purchased two John Mayer albums about a year ago from the iTunes Store on my phone. On both albums I had bought one track alone before buying the rest of the album. Both of those tracks bought separately are still there, but the rest of the album has vanished. All of my music still shows up on my iTunes library on my Mac, but it's just rather annoying to have to go through the whole process of syncing that much music again. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to recover my music?
    Thanks.

    Hello rneery,
    There could be a few causes for something to make your purchased music seem to disappear. If there weren't downloaded yet to the phone, and the Show All Music option were turned off, they would no longer appear:
    Download past purchases
    Tap Settings > Music and make sure Show All Music is on.
    The purchases may also be hidden in your purchased history, which would prevent you from seeing them available for download again:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Can I upload music from iPod to iTunes? My music has disappeared from my iTunes account, but still have it on iPod.

    Music on my iTunes account has disappeared, but still have it on my older iPod; want to upload it to iTunes, but when I hook up to computer, iTunes wants to overwrite the iPod.  I fear I'll lose it all.  Any help?

    Hey blite923,
    Thanks for the question. If these are purchased songs, you can transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer without syncing:
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
    Transfer your purchases to your computer
    Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
    If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
    To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
    Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
    Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
    Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
    ​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
