New iTunes deleted iPhone music.

after upgrading to 11.0 (and successive), all my music was deleted from my iPhone and won't restore with sync. All playlists are checked...even tried to make new playlists following the instructional video without much success.  Any hints as to what is going on?

This is what happens on my iTunes and iPod Touch.
In iTunes, while syncing, I get this display:
If I press "Restore Backup," it restores my previous iTunes library, with all the audio, video, podcasts, etc. from before.
If I were to Restore my iPod (as I've done on several occasions), it takes about a half-hour or so update the OS and store the data from my previous library.
One of the nice things about iOS is that, as long as you have the original documents, you have the option to Restore the system anew. When it asks you, you're going to choose a prior iTunes library, not a new one. If you made a mistake, Restore again, and choose the prior iTunes library.

  • While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts

    While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts. This is very frustrating becaucse I have ALL my sync settings set to Manual. What can I do to stop this? I'm about to throw my iPod against the wall!

    sorry you've just been dealt a blow from Apple trying to "help" its customers. you're correct: you cannot sync only music or movies. even if "manually sync" is selected, once you sync something like moves, the rest of your library gets deleted. it's completely backwards and non-intuitive.

  • Transferring music from new itunes to iphone.

    How do i transfer music from a new itunes to my iphone??
    *i dont mind deleting my old songs

    If you don't mind losing the music currently on your iphone then plug it in and sync it.
    Is it a new/different computer?
    If so, make sure you have at least one contact and calendar entry in the computer so that you will get the option to merge that data when you first sync.

  • ITunes deletes all music from my iPhone 6 when I sync

    Just now when I tried to add some new music to my Iphone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) the songs appeared greyed out, but won't actually copy. When I hit the Sync button, steps 1-5 happened in a matter of seconds and then all the music (about 100gb) went offline - showing the ! next to each track. Further Sync attempts did the same super-fast 1-5 steps without actually doing anything.
    This is not the first time this has happened, and it takes over an hour to copy all the files back to my phone. Please help!

    Howdy Luna527,
    You’ll have have change the Sync Music settings in iTunes, to delete the music from your iPhone and stop it from being synced back on to it when you connect it to your MacBook, as shown in the article linked below.

  • ITunes deletes all music from CDs from my iPhone

    I recently purchased a new iPhone 6. I transferred all my apps, photos, music etc to the new phone and everything appeared fine. However every time I sync the phone with iTunes all of my music that was not purchased through iTunes (e.g. CDs that I imported into iTunes) gets deleted from my phone. However it does not show up as deleted until I try to play it, at which point my phone skips through all the songs showing a red square next to them. I have iTunes set up to sync my entire music library. The only way I know how to get all the songs back is to delete all music from the phone each time I sync with iTunes and let iTunes copy everything back to my phone (and avoid syncing with my PC unless I really have to). Once re-synced everything is fine until I sync the phone with iTunes again at which point all my music other than iTunes purchases are removed from my phone.

    I have had the same problem for two months and have tried many different suggestions with no luck. Have you been given any answers from apple?

  • Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

    Hello All!
    I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
    I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
    I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

    So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
    Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
    As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will.  This is how iOS upgrades work.  The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
    All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
    Close iTunes
    Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
    While holding SHIFT launch iTunes.  iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one.  Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

  • How to delete iphone music library

    Hi there.
    I have had itunes match since it was released, but have it currently turned off so I can clean up my library a bit.
    I have IOS 6.1 on an iphone 5 connected to itunes 11.0.1
    I wish to delete all of my iphone music library. That is: I wish to remove all songs off my iphone but keep all songs on my macbook pro itunes library
    I have my settings to manage songs manually and up until today I could delete the whole iphone library when I wanted (select all>delete)
    I can check the songs, none are greyed out. I can right click and delete/highlight and hit the delete key or highlight and edit>delete. However it doesn't go any further.
    The songs stay where they are on my iphone, on the iphone library in itunes and there is no prompt question, asking if i wish to keep the file or throw it to trash etc.
    I have searched but seem to only find answers here about deleting songs one by one on my iphone. i have 7000 songs i want deleted on here!
    I am hoping someone an help.
    Thankyou
    side note: I am finding turning off itunes match on my iphone settings annoying. I can switch itunes match "off" but when I leave settings and go back in, match has turned itself back on....URGGHH

    Yep I understand it is in the cloud, I used to be able to take the music off there though.
    I have just tried another method, Settings>Music>Show All Music
    and this seems to have helped. It has gone from 7000 songs to 2!
    I still don't want them in my itunes iphone library when I connect my phone....Any help removing the songs so they aren't on the iphone library in itunes would be a massive help
    Thanks for your help so far!

  • Itunes Deleted My Music

    I updated ITunes to the latest version and I seem to have deleted my music. I asked my friend who also have the same issue but she said she found her music in one of her school folder after she searched for it.
    I have gone through my computer, by folder and through the search program as the "ITunes Resolution" site said. Still i have yet to find my music or get any help with this issue.
    I searched for .m4p, .m4v, .m4b, .mp4, .m4r, .m4a, .ipa, ipg, .ite, .itlp, or .epub to my search bar, and i continually got no results. That is the only thing the ITunes Support said to do. But this didn't work for me and I paid a lot of money for all my music and I think it's pretty ridiculous that I can't get any help on getting it back.
    I called the help line and a computer told me that because I didn't have a Mac it couldn't help me and to look it up on the site. I am still a consumer of Apple good, I don’t see why I get less service because I choose a different OS.
    I want to know any other suggestions about what i can do or even better who i can talk to help me my music back or at least get some kind of retribution for all the music I lost.
    Respectfully,
    KS

    Sounds like you're a new PC user? Is this on a school network and you need to search on another drive? Your recycle bin? Ask your friend to sit with you & help?
    This is what the Apple folks probably suggested
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    It doesn't matter whether you're on a Windows PC or a Mac - if those files are deleted and you don't have a backup, they are GONE. That paragraph at the end applies to WIndows & Mac
    "Still can't find them?"
    You can ask for a re-grant of your downloads. The worst that can happen, is they say no.

    Going forward, there are lots of built-in Windows helps on backing up important files.

  • After downloading new Itunes version, Iphone won't appear

    I have gone on the apple website to see how to fix it, but nothing worked.   Before downloading new Itunes version, my Iphone showed up just fine this morning.  Any suggestions??

    Welcome to the Forums!
    This is very strange. I would give Apple a call; they'll know better than I what to do.

  • New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

    Hello all,
    I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
    (HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
    Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
    I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
    Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

    Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one.  It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer.  You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

  • New itunes and iphone renamed ringtones

    can anyone tell me if the renamed ringtones are still working in the new itunes,

    If you've added ringtones to your iPhone (e.g. via iToner), and you've updated to 1.1.3, then they will no longer be available. Also, you will find that iToner no longer syncs to the iPhone. No doubt iToner will update their software some time soon to get around the new update.
    Does this help?

  • Itunes delete my music in my iPhone 4 iOS 6.1 I'm new mac mini

    ahen connect a iphone 4 ios 6.1 to new mac mini all of my music vidoe was delete , after i sync to the new mac mini , how can i restor , i did a bucup.

    I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
    Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
    Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
    Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.
