My music randomly disappeared from my iPod Touch?

KearaMahone sorry - I don't have any help for you, but I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1. My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud). The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs). Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

Follow the instructions in the following article. When you restore from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated.

Dear lllass

Thanks for responding, but the article to which you have linked does not address my problem (where I have not changed my computer or anything, this is just occurring for no apparent reason) nor indeed that of KearaMahone (who apparently has not got a backup with which to sync)

There are definitely flaws with iOS 6 resulting in music getting deleted. It sounds like Margo has encountered this, and perhaps KearaMahone. I encounter this issue regularly and repeatedly, to the point where I can no longer use my iPod touch to listen to music.

You may be able to restore or resync, but that is no protection against the issue occurring again.

I have been following this issue and have not found an acceptable fix or workaround. Please send feedback to Apple to get this issue fixed:

I have now done so, thanks Stephen
