Songs disappeared after upfrading to 4.1

Hello guys; I hope someone can help me on this:
I upgraded the iphone 3Gs to 4.1 iOS from a colleage of work using MY powerbook.
After upgrading all her pictures were in the phone so as her contacts, e-mail, bought applications, etc.
However, her bought songs disappeared from the iPhone and as soon as you press the iPod icon a message pops uo saying the iphine needs to be syncronised.
Does anyone know what happened?
I went into the phone using iPhone explorer and as a matter of fact her songs are there.
Thank you!

Not sure what happened, but a firmware update should be installed with iTunes on the computer that is used to sync the iPhone with.

Starred Songs Disappear After Update

Hi Community, After Spotify did it's most recent update, I lost all my starred songs! Is there any way I can get those back?! Thanks M

Hey Pricilla, Thanks for the fast reply. I do have a LOT of tracks in my playlist. I don't know about 10.000 though. I've cleared my cahce and opened the web player in a pirvate window and it seemed to work for a few seconds, because about 80 tracks loaded. But when I scrolled down the page crashed and I got an error: The playlist failed to load.FIrst this screen for a few seconds:And then this screen: When I clicked Stop script it seemingly kept on buffering, but even after an hour or so nothing happened. Thanks,TOAO

Purchased songs disappear after new istall of windows

Hi
I've got a problem with iTunes since I reinstalled windows on my system. When I open the iTunes store only 3 of all my purchased songs appear, the rest isn't listed there. My download history however is correct, but I can't listen to those songs nor can I load them on my ipod (except those 3 songs). How can I "get back" the missing songs?
Thanks for helping

I just did a Windows re-install myself. Computer is lighting fast now! However, I experienced the same issue you describe. What I discoverd is that the "Purchased" folder is really just a playlist. All of your purchased songs should show up in the library as well.
I haven't figured out a way to add my purchased songs back to the purchased folder in bulk, but they can be added individually by drag/drop or right click/add to playlist. Because the purchased songs are mixed in with my ripped songs this is a pretty laborious process, but it works.
If you still only find the 3 songs in your library, I would suggest two other things. First right click on the purchased folder and select check for available downloads. This will ensure all of your purchased songs are on your hard drive. Second, make sure you have added the iTunes folder to your library. This is done by selecting File/Add Folder to Library. My iTunes folder is located in My Music so it came in when I added the My Music folder to my library.
Hope this helps.

Purchased song disappearing after a ITunes crash

Hi, I recently just purchased The Veronicas - Untouched, in the middle of downloading my ITunes crashed and I had to restart Itunes, when I logged back into ITunes the song is not on my purchased list, nor has my ITunes attempted to re-download this song, if I go back into the ITunes Store and try it again, it asks me to buy the song once more.
Could anyone try clear up whats gone wrong, as I won't pay for a song twice, it seems abit... pointless.
Thanks in advance.

Songs Disappearing after Software Update

I recently bought 2 songs from the Itunes store on my Iphone 5S. I then did a software update a few days later, and I can't find those songs on my phone, or on Itunes on my computer. Can someone please tell me how I can get them back? Thank you

You might (depending upon what country that you are in and if they are still in the store) be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone, and via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes

Covers of buyed music disappears after update software

A lot of covers of my buyed songs disappears after I updated iphone software to iSO 8 and I can recover it.
Can anybody help me?

I've had the same problem and i posted about it a few hours ago. What i did was just restore my iPhone which was pretty a pain in the ***. if that doesn't work, then try deleting purchases from your iPhone and download it again through you iPhone on the purchased section of iTunes.

After upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1.8 ~300 oldest songs disappeared from iPod

After I upgraded to 7.0.1.8 and synch'd my 60G iPod about 300 of my oldest songs disappeared from my iPod. I received a message that I had used my 5 allowable installations for the song. But I only have a 60G iPod and a Nano, and I have never allowed anyone to use my computer. So, how do I get these back on my 60G?

Thank you for describing the problems so well. I also have been going nuts trying to restore my Itunes Library to its original (or acceptable) condition. I have a 5th gen 30G Video with about 4250 songs on it. After downloading 7 I found that every song in my Library had been dulplicated or triplicated. Then, a day latr, when I had downloaded album art, I discovered that every other song in any album I had downloaded (from Itunes or my own cd)prior to perhaps version 5 or version 6 could not be found. Luckily, I had an generation 4 Ipod with the original Library and I was able to download that to my external harddrive. I have spending pointless, arduous hours pointing Itunes to the correct file. Its faster to re-download the CD. Of course, I can't do that for any music I had bought from Itunes directly. Its weird because the name of the song is in Itunes, just the file can't be found. And why every other file? When I go into earlier (6 and before)Itunes Libraries, the music files are missing from them. Where did they go? When I try to sync my Ipod with Itunes, it takes forever because Itunes is searching for the missing files. I have tried to ask Apple support directly but I have gotten no response. Very, very frustrating! Any headway with your problems? Lisa

After recent update, all but 7 songs disappeared from my iPhone 5 while I was driving. This is the third time! I only sync from cloud, not the computer. I had over 600 songs and its a pain to keep reloading!

IPhone 5 keeps dropping my songs, this after an update. I know it's a software issue. I have shut down and re-started, I have made sure there's available space, etc. this is the third time in the last 2 weeks. Help!

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

Songs disappeared - iPod not recognized in Windows or iTunes

Hi, I have had a 5th generation iPod for 8 months now and have a big problem:
After I charged it in a wall plug, all the songs disappeared from my iPod. It has happened to me once in the past but the songs then reappeared... don't know how that happened. Now, songs are all gone and Windows and iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have reset it and since then, the screen keeps changing from the main menu to the Apple logo and then back to the main menu. My iPod will then be recognized in Windows for a few seconds, while the main menu is displayed on the screen, and then disappear. I have put it into disk mode and only then will Windows recognize it, but not iTunes. I have then restarted the iPod Service via Computer Management but once I reset my iPod to remove it from the disk mode, it continued changing from the main menu to the Apple logo. Since the problem seems to be with my iPod and not with iTunes, I have not tried to delete iTunes and reinstall it.
Thanks for your help!!

this is the error message I get when I run an ipod diagnostics:

Purchased ringtones disappeared after update to IOS 8.1.1 on iPhone 5c

Hello,
could someone help me? I purchased some ringtones from store a week ago, but after update to IOS 8.1.1 all bought songs disappeared from my iPhone 5c.
The songs I bought before I visit in store and I can bought and pay it again. Where is the problem?
Thank you.

I have same issue. I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work. I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear. I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work. The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1).
Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
Perfection!

Why in the H*** do Songs 'Disappear in ITUNES Playlists/purchased?

I''m so ****** this is happening; I want to know why Song//purchased from ITUNES STORE Disappear after awhile from my playlists!! I purchased them...then I'm able to play for like 2 months; THEN THEY DISAPPEAR!! what the **** is the matter with them? I'm not going to purchase a song TWICE!!! What- the....??

Seems I'm having a similar problem where songs on my purchased playlist for the same artist and different albums disappeared (exclamation point on song names and message saying they can't be located). I went back to my iTunes account to redownload them and don't have access to the download button for those songs. They're grayed out and read "downloaded".
I back up but haven't lately thinking I was safe. I once contacted Apple about another purchased song that all of a sudden had a glitch in it. I went back to redownload it and had the grayed out button. Apple reactivated it, no reason given as to why it was deactivated BUT I discovered the song downloaded from my "cloud" purchased playlist had the same glitch in it where it didn't before. So, I'm guessing that the songs on the cloud are syncing to our playlists on our computers. Which is disconcerting. I know Idid not accidently throw out the songs for the same artist and different albums. So, something sinister's up. I'm contacting Apple with this concern and will post the results.

Why are songs disappearing?

I am only an occasional iTunes user. It is installed on my Windows PC. Over the years I have bought some albums or downloaded songs from my CDs. I've recently noticed that my albums are still in my library, but some of them have lost songs. In some cases, the song title is there, but iTunes says it can't find the song when I want to play it. I'm not sure why. I have not tried to manipulate the folders or anything. My knowledge of iTunes is very limited, so I just open iTunes, open my library, and select an album or song to listen to.
I would include the software iTunes version number, but I don't know how to find it.
Is there a way to have iTunes build me a new Library and round up all the songs that are on my PC? Also, is there a way to remove duplicate songs if I do this?
Thanks,
Dave
I don't really hate Apple, I just can't afford their products and can't operate them efficiently when I get on one.
Windows Vista 64
ESET security software
Carbonite backup software

I get the exact same behavior. It is maddening. I find if I use the "sources" function, it happens more. I ended up wresting with it via the album view and it seemed better, but much less convenient. I've had this occur on the iPod app on my iPad, as well as on my iPod touch. Editting playlists is very flaky.
In addition to seeing this, I just had the playlist that I spent a good 30 minutes making, working with the disappearing bug, itself disappear after two days. The whole playlist vanished.

Songs disappear from playlist once in a while but are still in library

Every now and again I notice that a song has disappeared from a playlist. I can copy it back to the playlist from the music library. But what makes the song drop from the playlist? It's either a song I purchased from iTunes or one I imported from cd. Doesn't matter.

Not a Sony Vaio. I have one of the first iPods. It was a gift. It's not that songs disappear from the playlist in the iPod, but from playlists on the computer. They are in the music library and I have to copy and paste them back into the playlist I want them in. I haven't lost any from the music library, fortunately.
The playlists (I have a bunch of them) are blue with a music note. The songs in the playlists have checkmarks next to them, and are all checked. They just drop out of a playlist every now and again and I have to copy it back in. I can go for a while and think "hey, I haven't heard X in a long time". And sure enough it's dropped from the playlist in the computer, and I have to copy it back in from the library, then resynch the iPod. Really weird and mildly annoying.
