When I restored my iPhone from an icloud backup the music doesn't full restore

When I restored my iPhone from an icloud backup the music doesn't full restore. After syncing there's no difference, about half of the songs don't play but appear on the iPhone. I've tried many things, but I don't want to manually add 200 songs to iPhone. I've tried manually re-adding songs to the iPhone but this still doesn't work! Has anyone else had this problem?? Does anybody have a solution?

Thanks :D

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.4

If the music is all in your iTunes library, delete it from your phone and sync it back using iTunes. To delete all music from your phone, go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, then tap Delete.

Then you can sync it to your phone all at once by doing the following:


  1. Connect your phone to your computer
  2. Open iTunes
  3. Click on the name of your phone in iTunes
  4. Go to the Music tab, check Sync Music and select Entire Music Library (if you want all your music on your phone)
  5. Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
