iOS 6 Music Not Really There

How did I fix it finally?

• I downloaded and installed iFunBoX (File Manage) http://i-funbox.com/ifunboxmac/
• Connected my iPhone4S
• Deleted following files in folder iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control:

MediaLibrary.sqllitedbMediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shmMediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal

After that I started the MUSIC app on my iPhone, the iCloud symbol appeared and after some time all my music was back and iTunes Match as it intended in iOS6.

Deleting these files worked for me! :

MediaLibrary.sqllitedb

MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shm

MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal

Thank you, Fabin.

After the process of deleting the files, etc. the iCloud bar appeard, filled in very quickly and ALL of my music was available on iCloud. My iPhone 4s then started downloading each song on the list automatically, one by one.

Here's a question, though:

Based on the storage info on my iPhone, all those songs are STILL inside my iPhone. So why is it downloading all of that music from iCloud from scratch? Does it not remember that most of the music on that list is already on the phone? Is this behaviour normal?

Thanks.

On article about iTunes Match iOS6, might give more info.

Prefab sprouter: hi! Please you can follow my hints on page 9 of this discussion. You should be able reactivate old music by trying to play it from within itunes on computer with Match off... You might actually even get more free space than you thought!

Let me know if it helped, please, good luck!

Farfeloo, it worked!! I turned off iTunes Match, connected the iPhone to iTunes on my laptop, and clicked sync. The sync automatically cancelled because iTunes stated it would have resulted in 20GB over-capacity (I guess iTunes thinking it would be doubling-up on my entire music library). But after the sync auto-cancelled, all my songs automatically appeared on my iPhone!

Thank you!

I deleted the 3 files form my iPhone 5 and right now amd syncing 1086 Songs to my iPhone 5...for real this time. Eventually when they fix the glitch I may turn iTunes Match back on.....thanks for the fix!

One note. Once re resync was complete I turned off my phone then when I turned it back on all the musc that copied was there. 🙂

Not sure that this is related to the iTunes Match feature directly ... I never have had that enabled, and it happened to my iPhone 3GS when I upgraded it to iOS 6 this week.

How do I find those three files to delete them?

Find the files under iTunes/media/iTunes_control

Sorry to be so dense, but are these files on my PC or on my Iphone 5?
I can't find them.

This's worked for me, and I'm not using iTunes Match

Yep. This worked for me. Only difference was my progress bar under the Music cloud was orange, not blue. Odd. But it's all good now. Thx.

Hi guys I have the solution not very good at explaining so bare with me. Right here we go. You make sure that when u click on your device on the summary tab in the options untick the sync only ticked songs and videos hope this helps guys thanks and good luck let me know if it works.
