iPhone delete all iTunes except album U2 free music!

I had an iPhone 6s for 3 months with no problems.  Last night I connected my iPhone to my iMac to load all night, like I always do.  In the morning, 99 + % of all my music on the iPhone has been deleted.  (It was still on my iMac, and I was able to restore everything, it took 8 hours to do, since there are about 90 GB of music).  With almost 10,000 songs in my music library (which were on the iPhone), the * only * DO NOT deleted songs were 10 titles I bought from iTunes, free U2 album that Apple offered increasingly (and why they are so *).  (I think the U2 album came pre-installed on the phone, if I remember, but I finally deleted it previously).

A friend suggested I look to see how the phone is synchronized to the iMac and, of course, the box that says "sync any iTunes library" was NOT checked.  (Of course, I had checked at the origin of this box, which is how I got my entire library to transfer in the first place.  "And I have ever returned to this screen since then.)  So, I checked this box once again and re-installed the entire library.

So, a few questions:

1. it happened to someone else?

2. are these possible clues to anyone:

a. only songs not deleted were those purchased through iTunes (Yes, only 10 of the 10,000).

b. free U2 album mysteriously reappeared.

c. Despite 'losing' nearly 90 GB of music from iPhone, the bar capacity (that thing at the bottom that shows how much storage is available on your iPhone, and how much is used by music, photos, etc.) remained unchanged.  In other words, even if there were now only 20 songs on the phone, he always says that the music was about 85 GB of space (and the phone had about 32 GB of free space, as he did before all the songs have disappeared).

All very strange to me.  Thanks to all those who might have some constructive thoughts on this.

1. no doubt.  Not for me.

2 - Yes.

For a and b - I do not think that these remaining songs were actually stored ON the iPhone at this time there.  They are your songs purchased (including the U2 album which is considered to be a purchase).  You probably saw them on the iPhone since Apple servers ("iCloud").  It's the same thing as being able to see purchased TV shows and movies (if you have) on your iPhone and play them in streaming from Apple servers.  That's why you have not seen these '10 in 10,000' songs, because they are items purchased, and you have the advantage of being able to listen to them without the files stored on your iPhone.

C - likely cause is corruption of data on the iPhone store.  For some reason, the song files have been is most recognized by as records of songs by the on-board iPhone software.  The songs you've seen (after the problem) were not saved on the iPhone; they have been seen since the Apple servers because they are purchased items.  You can do a restore on the iPhone via iTunes, in case there is still corruption of data.

After the restoration, use the latest iPhone backup you must leave before the problem.  Update the applications according to the needs.  Then, sync your music library.

  • iPhone deleted all the music from the device

    iPhone deleted all music device twice already. I was always away from home when this happens. First time, it happened a few months ago. Mobile data are on. What's wrong?

    iTunes and iOS updated to the latest versions.

    After the iPhone has been deleted and all music. Then Apple ask me to join Apple music, but I don't want to do that. I just listen to my music on my iPhone.

    You have restored your phone before that?

    Have you checked that Apple music is disabled in the settings/music?

  • iPhone delete all music and not resync.

    So, yesterday, in the middle of listening to my music was gone. Each song... disappeared. This has happened about 20 minutes after I had downloaded a new song on iTunes without any problems. It was quite irritating, but I knew I had everything on my computer at home so I was not terribly concerned.

    Fast forward to today ' hui - my phone will NOT sync. I use the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone software, and I have an iPhone of 128 GB 6 s. iTunes recognize my phone when I plug it in, and it won't let me not even press the button 'sync '. He says that it syncs and looking at the list of music on my computer, says that all of my songs are on the device. The storage on the device indicates 0 songs, however, and none can actually be played on my phone.

    Apple music and game are disabled on ALL my devices - I never even signed up for either.

    I have contacted Apple Support three times now and have received a generic response telling me to resynchronization or have not received a response at all.

    Anyone who has had this problem has a solution? I don't want to lose all my music, and the idea to leave my old phone just to get music is unpleasant.

    It seems to me that something has been corrupted on your phone.  First thing to try is a reboot or a forced reboot:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    You may already have done and probably won't help, but it is simple and shouldn't hurt either.  The next thing on the list would be a restoration:

  • Remote drive deletes all files except for one...

    I have a problem with one of my users.  On 40 employees perched at this place, it's the only happens.  It connects to a remote drive in another city, and we'll call it the T drive.  When we go to the T drive we see a long list of files.  At first she sees all files as well but sometimes he falls into a single folder on his screen.  This folder is a folder called Scans and inside this folder is a long list of employees at several sites.  When she opens this folder "T:\Scans" rather than see the long list, she can't see his name and files under it.  This seems to be a permissions problem, but if it stops and restarts the computer, everything is back to the way it should be.  This has been ongoing for some time and happens about once or twice a week.  The permissions would be set all the time and permissions on all of these files is 'Everyone', because these files must be available to all members of society.  There is another drive for secure files.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Removes all characters except numbers

    I want to reformat to following phone numbers. As you can see it in what follows, I want to delete all characters except numbers and it does not start wirh 0 0 at the beginning of the f-number. And the length is 11. What do you recommend?

    (543) 456-35-50 = > 05434563550

    (555) 555-55-55 = > 05555555555

    To remove all characters except the 10 digits, you can use REGEXP_REPLACE

    REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D')

    To put a "0" at the beginning of the string (if it isn't already begin with a '0'), you can use REGEXP_REPLACE even once:

    REGEXP_REPLACE (REGEXP_REPLACE (str, '\D')

    , '^([^0])'

    , "0\1".

    )

    I don't think that there is a way to do both things wih a single integrated function call.

    There is a requirement on the length being 11?  What happens if that comes into conflict with one of the other requirements?  For example, if the string is already long of 11 characters, but does not begin with a '0', do you want to add a "0", which makes 12 characters?  What happens if the length, after removing the numbers no, is very small, say 1?  (You can use LPAD adds however many ' 0 s you need.)  If the length (after removing the numbers) is 12 or more?  What happens if the string does not contain any what numbers at all?

    If these things are questions, then post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for some examples of data, accurate results, you want that data, and explanations.

  • I deleted my pictures and videos to free up space on my iPhone 6, but the settings and iTunes still say that I've not left storage. Help, please.

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 6 and uses iOS 9.3.2,and I recently deleted all my pictures and videos to free up space, "Manage the storage" in still however said circles I 23.4 GB of photos/videos like iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my Mac. I deleted my recently deleted folder and follow the instructions of a guy showing a year, which suggests to set my phone date about two years back and deleting the photos recently deleted the file and both of these solutions do not work. I have reset my phone (home and power button operation / stop) and also, it does not work. I don't want to wipe my phone and restore it if possible, but it's the only option I can think of next.

    Are there other solutions before I try this?

    Thanks in advnace

    Ben

    Hey Ben,

    Thanks for stopping by the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are trying to free up space on your iPhone by deleting all the photos and videos, and you still see 23.4 GB absorbed by these files. You have already made sure to empty your recently deleted album, fix the date of return on your phone and performed a hard reset on your device. You did an excellent job so far, and I'll be happy to give you some ideas to move forward from here.

    Before diving into other troubleshooting procedures, it would be useful to ensure that you have a recent backup of your iPhone is available. This will help us ensure that all your important data is stored safely for you. Here is an article with information on how to backup your device:

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once it is in place, I recommend you to reset the settings on your phone. This is not the impact of your personal data, but you will have to perhaps adjust the user specific settings, but also re - enter passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. When you restart your phone, check if the local storage on your phone has updated to reflect the changes you did related to your photos and videos.

    Beyond that, you want to look at your phone erase and reset to the factory settings. It is possible that some kind of software corruption causes the divergence of storage that you are experiencing. Set up your phone as a new device via iTunes install a new copy of iOS and also to exclude the corrupted files, etc. in your user data. This is a resource for this process:

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    For later use, it may be useful to use iCloud photo library to transfer and store your photos. There is a feature that allows you to optimize the storage on your iPhone so that your photos and your videos do not have as much local storage space.

  • Can I delete all my photos from iPhone camera roll without having to remove them from my library of Photos?

    I activated for my photos to iCloud and imported all my photos from my iPhone in my library of Photos. Now, I want to erase my Album of pictures of my iPhone because I have too many pictures on my iPhone (4,000). I'm nervous to delete all my photos because I fear somehow iCloud will synchronize the deletion of my iPhone with my library of Photos... is this the case? Or are my photos safe as soon as they are in my photo library?

    Basically, I want to erase all the pictures on my iPhone but I want to make sure that they will always remain in my photo library.

    Yes, if you delete the photos in the Photos of your iPhone app will remove also them to iCloud. You must export them from your photo library into folders or another photo management application.

  • Is it possible to load the CD (that I put on iTunes years ago) on an iPod Nano to iTunes 9.0.3 (15) on an old MacBook? This is my last chance, as the later versions of iTunes have deleted all this precious music, so I can't be wrong!

    Is it possible to load the CD (that I put on iTunes years ago) on an iPod Nano to iTunes 9.0.3 (15) on an old MacBook (OS 10.5.8)? This is my last chance, as the later versions of iTunes have deleted all this precious music, so I can't be wrong!

    It is unclear what you are asking, but if the question is (retired), the can transfer songs that are on an iPod nano (and nowhere else) to my current computer? 

    You cannot use iTunes.  By design, iTunes sync is generally in one direction, from your computer to the iPod.  The exception is purchased songs on the iTunes Store, iTunes can verify ownership of these songs (command in the menu bar iTunes -> devices-> transfer purchases of [name of the iPod] file).  However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'the ipod transfer', you should get a few links, including a CNET article.

    Once the files of the song on your disc, you can add them to your current iTunes library.

  • AppleTV is sharing all of my iPhone photos and not my album shared?

    My model A1625 AppleTV running 9.2.1 and I am logged into my iCloud account and you want to simply display the photos uploaded to an album shared with iCloud photo library, which is turned on. This shared album works really because I'm interested in it through the Photos app on my iPhone and also to access the shared album on an old AppleTV running an older operating system (not even sure what version). I have turned off sharing photos iCloud and home sharing is turned off.

    When I go into the Photos on the AppleTV (A1625) application it has options at the top, for Photos and Albums. There is no option for shared albums, and when I select all Photos or Album option at the top, it seems to be sharing EVERYTHING from my iPhone (all photos and videos).

    1. why he shows all the pictures and videos from my iPhone here? I don't have icloud, photo sharing is turned off and I do not think I PhotoStream on.

    2. why can I not access the shared album I'm looking for?

    I've disabled the AppleTV and off to iCloud, photo sharing and turned it back, and it still does not work. Y at - it another option somewhere that I need?

    Thank you!

    It is hard to tell from your description, that you have shot and where the parameters.

    You need iCloud photo sharing turned on on the Apple TV.

    If the shared album is new you need to disconnect to iCloud on Apple TV and sign my insert the again.

    Greetings mutyurke

    From your post, it seems you deleted all your photos and removed the recently deleted photos thinking that they would still be in the cloud.

    Looks like you could possibly use iCloud photo library. If you take a look at this article: iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    If you have active iCloud photo library photos are synced to all your devices include in iCloud. If you delete a photo off of one device, it is deleted on all devices, including in iCloud.

    Take care.
