If for some reason you have failed to put your music in itunes on your computer before updating, then you can redownload some itunes purcahses in some countries:

HT1766 Having updated to IOS 6 and lost all music
Having updated to IOS 6 on my phone all my music and pods are gone and I, or rather iTunes, fail to sync new ones. It is with sadness I see that the VERY handy gadget I had is gone. What options do I have? At the moment, buy another phone with Android? Sync with Linux? Since the WiFi and other net facilities work lousy where I am, I cannot use iCloud and with this experience I doubt I would like to.

i was updating my iphone 4 and lost all of my contacts, photo's, apps, etc. How do I restore this info?
From backups you made to iCloud and/or iTunes, and items you synced from iTunes originally.

If your back up was successful, then just resync. The books are there. If they are not, simply go back to the bookstore and redownload them for free.

Compaq computer crashed and lost all music that was on the computer. How would I go about getting a listing of all purchased items and download them again? I know when i first got set up it said I could download up to 2 times when purchased and I have only downloaded once. But need a listing of songs as well.
One thing that I also recommend in the future is to back your iTunes library up relatively regularly. You can get your purchases in the cloud just fine, typically, but at the very least, it will save some time by backing it up.

Updated Ipod and lost all music
Has anyone else recently update an Ipod touch using Itunes and then lost all your music? That is what happened to my daughter's. We updated to version 4.21 and all music was wiped out. Didn't have all the music in our Itunes library so can't get it all back. Anyone have a solution or is it gone for good?
Music is always synced to the iPod from the iTunes libray after a restore or update. It is not part of the backup that is made as the first step of a sync and update. Therefore, if you update an iPod and the music (and apps) that are on the iPod are not in the iTunes library, the updated iPod will not have that music or apps.
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes, you can redownload iTunes purchased music by:

Updated to Is o5 and lost all contacts
Hi everyone,
I have updated to os 5 today. Took all the precautions beforehand pressing sync and backing up etc. After the update I have lost all my contacts and apps and how they were arranged on the home screen. Stangely, I still have all my text messages. I'm not bothered about my apps or music they can be purchased again but is there any way of getting my contacts back? I have spent 3+ hours trying many of the options that other have used after a google search but they don't work. Please help me
JohnYea I guess that now. It would be nice to have known this prior to doing an update. Apple's self help guides do quote that the contact information is contained within a backup:
Backed-up information includes purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books*; photos and video in the Camera Roll; device settings (for example, Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts); app data; Home screen and app organization; Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and more. Media files synced from your computer aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.""
It also seems crazy that the backup would store recent calls i.e. the numbers but not the names they are linked too. Oh well I hope Apple either edit the above clause or make an easier way of backing up contacts to itunes. I don't want the numbers on my phone to be merged on my email program! -
Updated to Itunes 10 and lost all of my playlists
Can someone tell me how to get my playlists back? I updated a few days ago to Itunes 10 and have lost all of my playlists etc. Is it possible to dump my IPOD library into Itunes?
Hi,
I had the same problem and indeed in the appliactions I found imovie 9.0.9.
But to make sure all goes well this time, please let me know the next steps.
I opened the imovie 9.0.9. (1.2GB) and the previous imove appeared. In the updated version, I can now import
imovie 9.0.0 zip archive (7.9 MB2).
Is this the solution ? And do I have to take further steps to amke sure everything is working ?
Thanks for coming back to me. -

I just updated to the IOS5 and lost ALL contacts
I just upddated to the IOS5 and it told me to transfer my purchases to my itunes, which i did. I then installed IOS5 to my iphone 3gs. And followed the on screen prompts on the phone. But upon Exploring i found ALL my contacts were gone. Any ideas? Did I just lose my contacts forever? Are they on icloud somewhere? Any ideas about recovery? I did save all my pictures and obviously my music and apps are stored on itunes.
I got them all back . Here's how.
1. plug in your phone to itunes and wait for it to show up in the devices
2. right click on your device and click restore from backup.
3. Ta Da!
Hope this works. Btw this wont erase the IOS5 software just restore your contacts,notes,and such. IOS5 will remain intact. -

Did you update over the air or using iTunes on your computer?
Music is not part of the iPhone backup. The music should already be in the iTunes library on your computer. Music purchased from the iTunes store can be re-downloaded without charge using the Apple ID used to purchase it originally.
Photos in the camera roll should be part of the backup. How you recover them depends on how you were backing up and how you performed the update. -
