My music doesn't play on my iPhone 4 after iOS 5 update

After the iOS 5 upgrade, some music that used to play on my iphone 4 before the upgrade doesn't play anymore. I've tried restoring and resynching my entire album but some songs play while others don't. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem with my iPad2. None of the songs I have will play. Nothing happens when I select a song.

Same here, but on my iPhone 3GS, think it may be a bug, because some music plays and some albums dont. All of my music worked yesterday before 10/12/11 @ 1pm.

I've had to delete my entire music library and resynch everything and now it works. However, it refused all my ringtones that I had made and was using before. Anyway, I've got my music back!

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.

plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Same for me. The unsync/sync trick worked. It appears that there's a bug in the upgrade process that messes up the songs library.

I'm glad it was that simple to fix.
