Plugged in iPhone to PC and it deleted most of my music
So last night I plugged in my iPhone to transfer some purchases I made to my PC. I recently reinstalled windows so I had to reauthorize my computer and after syncing I went from around 300 songs that I had on my phone to 60. I tried every possible solution I could find. Going to itunes and searching for missing songs would pop up a greyed out "Purchased" button which doesn't do anything when I click it. I tried going to the Purchased option in the Store but it only prompts a "Apps" and "Books" buttons , no music or anything else. There are no hidden purchases I have checked that as well. Going to the Purchase History I can see everything I purchased but troubleshooting the problems doesn't seem to fix anything. I would be very grateful for some help since this is my music collection that I've had for years and spent a lot of money on. Thank you.
Did the method you used preserve your library? If the library has the tracks you expect to see do they actually play? Reinstalling may have led to inconsistent permssions. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Alternatively, if iTunes has entries for tracks that it can no longer access then these would need to be deleted before you could redownload from the cloud. See Download past purchases for details.
For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

I just syned my new iphone through itunes and it deleted all of my new pictures. is there anyway to get them back?
Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud - > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup. -
I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1. Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone. Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone. What do I do?
I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied. -
I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
i tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?
From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
Are the files in the trash? I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it. I don't know how iTunes does it for others. -
all of a sudden my iphone stopped charging and you can't hear the music through my ihome iH150 when I connect it to the dock, what can I do to fix the ihome? The ihome does turn on and I already checked for dock possible problems and I don't see anything wrong.
I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

The iphone will mirror the selected content of your computer.
Make sure everything is on your computer. Select what you want on your iphone, sync -
My old computer crashed, and I have most of my music on my ipod, that has been purchased, and downloaded music from my CD's. I also have music in my old Library on ITunes. How do I recover all of them, and transfer my music on my IPod, to my new Library.
Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
If you didn't,.... it should've worked.. -
Error when I plug my iPhone in usb and itunes comes up
when I plug my iPhone in with usb connected to my computer, iTunes pops up ofcourse and opens but then a box appears and says: This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started. never had this come up before, now I do have slingbox installed on my iphone and always worked good and i did the update today for the slingbox to get 3G and now i get this error, now i dont know if it is because of that update, i have no idea but i do know my iPhone isn't being recongized in itunes. help
This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started.
Right-click "My Computer", and select "Manage". Expand "Services & Applications" and click "Services". Maximise the window so you can see what's going on.
Find the Apple Mobile Device Service in the list. Does the status show as "Started" and the startup type as "Automatic"? -
Memory on my iphone is still full after deleting nearly all my music
I have an iphone 4 and i recently tried deleting a lot of music so that space was available on my phone. However, now I have deleted the music there has been no change to the memory of my ipod. The bar at the bottom of itunes had a huge chunk for "audio" but now it just seems to have moved it into "other". Can anyone help?
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
