Why has all my music disappeared from my iphone 4S (iOS6)?

This morning on the train into work I was listening to a track as usual on my iPhone 4S (iOS6).
The track finished, so I used my Beats headphones to skip to the next track (as usual) and there was just a prolonged silence.  On taking my phone out of my pocket I then saw that all my music content had disappeared!  When I go into the Music app it simply displays 'No Content'.
As I am not at home, I cannot re-sync. 
I want to know how on earth Apple can be releasing an update that causes so much hassle?
Can anyone help & explain why the above has happened?
Thanks.

For some reason, I did not see that you had replied to my reply (usually get an email notification), so sorry about the delay.
iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod (and that is by design).  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  After confirming everything is there, you can then sync your iPod to that iTunes library.

  • Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro? my MacBook Pro CS4?

    Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro in CS4 but is still on my iMac?

    Many thanks for your reply, I found Photomerge.jsx on the iMac, although I couldn't find a Presets/Scripts folder in the Application folder but a search found 4 copies of Photomerge.jsx.
    I made a CD of them and inserted it into the MacBook Pro.  I dropped a copy into my Applications folder but when I opened Photoshop CS4 and tried to use it - it wasn't available.  I then dropped it into Photoshop and it works but when I close everything down and re-open Photoshop it is not there.
    Had to leave the Photomerge.jsx file/folder on the desktop and re drop into photoshop to open to use???
    Please help me further.

  • How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

    I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes.  The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything. 
    For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most).  Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access.  I would then download them onto my iPhone again.  And then they would disappear again!  How can I stop such annoying behavior?  Does switching music sync to manual help?  Thank you.

    Hello claire267
    In the Messages app, in the drop down menu go to Messages > Preferences. Once there click the Accounts tab and then remove the iMessage account and that will stop all messages associate with your phone number from showing up on your computer.

  • HT1689 All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.
    The phone strarted "blinking" all of a sudden, and when it returned to normal all contacts were missing.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if I can somehow restore the contacts? (No, I did not syncronize them with my PC or store them online..)
    Thanks!

    I would try a reboot and pray that it helped.  But if you didn't back the phone up to itunes or icloud or if you don't already store your contacts in gmail, then they are probably gone forever.

    Emails from my comcast.net account suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5c inbox and I cannot receive new ones. They still show up on my iPad and my laptop (both Windows Live Mail and Xfinity. I'm using OS 8.1,3, Ideas?

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously bad. Yahoo will have to fix the problem. It's not an Apple problem, or an AT&T problem (except for the fact that AT&T chose to contract their email service out to one of the worst providers on the planet).
    Try downloading and using the Yahoo mail app from the app store.

  • Has apple ever responded to why music disappears from your Iphone

    My Iphone 4 and my duaghters Iphone 4s have had the Music disappear randomly from the device, I see others had this issues as well. Has Apple ever said what is causing this issue.

    There are two "knees in the curve" regarding Mac Pro:
    • 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 and later for Macs that can
    -  run 64-bit kernel and address larger that 4GB memory per Application.
    - be supported by future Mac OS such as what most expect to see from 10.8 Mountain Lion when released.
    • 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 and later Macs that:

  • Why has the lyrics tab disappeared from songs' "Get Info" menu?

    I got a new laptop today with Windows 7, and downloaded the most recent version of iTunes. I am keeping all my music files on an external hard drive, but have dragged all of them into my iTunes library. This is how I've done it before and have never had any problems. Now, for all of the songs that didn't have lyrics in the first place, the lyrics tab has completely disappeared, and all of the adjustable fields in the other tabs are greyed out and uneditable. Does anyone know what I've done wrong, and how this can be fixed, please?
    Any help gratefully received, thank you for reading!

    My loudspeaker does appear:
    Assuming you have room available to the left of the check mark in iTunes (if not, make room first), try control-click on the row that says "Name ... Artist ... etc." and checking "Auto size all columns" from the resulting drop-down.

  • Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

    My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

    Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form>    </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
    If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

  • Why has the navigator app disappeared from my droid?

    This forum is ridiculous.  I have a simple question but have to jump thru hoops just to put it up.  my local app and my navigator app has disappeared from all our droid phones.  whats up with that?

    The VZW navigator app or the Google Maps and Navigation app?
    Google released a version of Maps and incorporated their Navigation app into the main Maps application.
    Not sure about the VZW navigator app though.
    Both application have had recent discussions created about them and could have been located through a search of the community forum.

  • Why has my space bar disappeared from my keyboard on my ipad2

    My space bar has disappeared from keyboard, why? Thanks

    The keyboard is contextual, meaning it changes with intended use.
    If you place the cursor in the address bar of the browser, you do not get a space bar since web addresses do not have spaces in them.

  • Why has my safari icon disappeared from the applications bar after the recent software update?

    Everything was working perfectly until I uploaded the most recent software update. When I restarted my laptop I found that the Safari icon had disappeared from my applications bar.  If I go to my 'recent places' and click on Safari it then reappears but only until I close the laptop down as the next time I start it up, it's nowhere to be seen.  Can anyone help?  

    by applications bar you mean "dock"? After you click on recent places and start safari it will reappear in the dock and at this point you will want to control + click (right click) on the SAFARI icon and hover to options, make sure that "KEEP IN DOCK" has a check mark next to it. If it does not, click that option. Now it will keep the Safari Icon in your dock.

  • All my music - gone from my iPhone! What the ... is going on!?

    Twice now since upgrading to iOS6 my iPhone has "lost" all my music. This seems to happen randomly when I sync with iTunes on my PC.
    I went on a journey today looking forward to catching up on my audiobook and it wasn't there!
    This is made worse by my massive music and audiobook library which takes all night to reload.
    Cummon Apple, this is pants! Sort it out and give us iOS 6.1 or whatever it takes. I'm a long-time iPhone user and I've never known Apple systems to be this unreliable.

    Waaaaaaaaaaah!
    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
    Would you like a little cheese to go with that whine????
    Grow up.
    You are not addressing Apple here, we are users like yourself and frankly do not care to read or want to be bothered with a toddler whining.
    Sync the content back, deal with it, move on.  Life is simply too short to be a whiney brat.

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.
