Backing up an iPhone's downloaded Music content, without access to the old iTunes Hi, This isn't as convoluted as the title states, but I haven't found an answer online. My current phone was tied to an iTunes account that has been lost to a damaged hard drive. I have many playlists and songs that didn't get backed up before the hard drive crash. How can I back-up or offload these files from my phone and be able to access/restore them? I have 54.GB of music files but the iCloud options don't seem to have a place to store them. What am I supposed to do?

Music files on iphone disappeared when I tried to add music from PC I tried to transfer an album from my music file to my iphone using itunes. But itunes couldn’t find the music on my iphone device list. I checked my iphone and all the music – probably 400 songs or so – were there. I transferred the album (4 songs) to the device. Now my music icon shows only those 4 songs; all the music previously seen on the iphone music icon is missing. However, I’m looking at iphone storage and it hasn’t changed at all: 90.9 GB of 128 GB used. So the 10-20 GB worth of music is still there. How do I recover the music files, or at least, how do I delete them and add back all the files? They are mp3s, for the most part, on my PC. All are my files, from CDs 10-20 years ago; none are downloaded from iTunes. If I can't get the files back, how can I clear the music files to recover the free space.

Uploaded CDs disappeared With the newest itunes update (2021), Apple took away all my uploaded CDs on my PC. (1) Can I restore them? (2) If I backup my iphone will I lose all of that music which is (thank God) still on my iphone?

Why weren't all the files backed up? If the files weren't backed up or stored in iCloud so you can sync them back, there isn't a way to recover the data.
