iPhone 4S - 64GB, iOS 7.0.4 - Songs deleting

Are you asking a question? This is a user to user technical support forum, not Apple. You are not addressing them here. I have not witnessed any behavior as you describe with the music I have on my device with iOS 7.0.4. I still have my entire library of music, 5.8GB worth. Besides, your music is in your iTunes library, just sync it back to the device.

IF the songs which were purchased using the itunes store WERE deleted from your mobile device, you can always go to your settings of your device to itunes and app store and go down to where it shows the option to automatcailly download music and this then will automatically download whatever purchases you've made using the itunes store back to your device. If they songs you are losing were not purchased through itunes you then will need to go to your storage device where you synced from to renew the songs to your device. If you will refrence your user manual regarding your device it clearly states that mobile devices are not designed as solid storage devices but more a place to keep your favorites such that you are able to access them in different venues. A word to the wise college student PLEASE keep all your music stored on a dependable storage device and only have your favorite songs on your mobile devices.

Good luck.

Have you tried to re-sync the music. It sounds as if something in your library didn't sync right. When you come here and find no one else having the issue, does it not make you believe this is isolated? How were you getting music to your phone to start with? The action of deleting songs from a device when you attempt to play them is generally indicative of the music not existing on the device, so it removes the song title when you try and play it. Connect the device back to iTunes and sync your library back to the device. It should work alright. I can almost assure you it is not because of your update to iOS 7x that caused this music problem. While updating the phone might have corrupted your music, it was not specific to iOS 7.0.4. Again, you have the music available, just sync it back and you should be just fine.

Out of curiosity, when you look at the chart at the bottom of iTunes, what does it display in regards to "Other"?

I have this issue too. After updating my iPad Mini's OS to the new iOS 7.0.4 and updating my iTunes to the latest version, half my music wouldn't play. Not only that, my videos can't be played too. Song that are mostly not playable are the ones that I didn't purchase from iTunes Store. The ones that I exported from my CDs and those being bought online can't be played as well.

Whenever I tried to play my songs, it gets greyed out until it shuffles to a song that was bought on iTunes. I'm also very sure not all songs bought on the iTunes can be played as well.

I really hope Apple resolves this issue soon because I have to work with the music and videos.

I updated my iPad 4 64GB to 7.0.4 earlier today and have not noticed anything wrong with songs/albums or videos.

I have the same problem with my iphone 5. It deleted all my songs and now i can't sync any music from itunes (on a mac) to my iphone 5. I went to the apple store today and they told me it was a problem with the ios 7.0.4 update and that i would have to wait till the next update. An iphone with no music *****... Please fix that real quick. They did everything, reboot, restore, and no results.

I am talking about the corruption occurring during the sync of music. The files still exist on the computer and nothing is wrong, however during the sync something occurs. This has happened more than once during iOS upgrades. I don't remember which one, but despite the fact that iTunes showed content on my phone, if I went into the music app, there was no music showing there. Syncing again with iTunes brought the music back. However, that time, the "Other" on the phone reflected a very large amount, in the 5-7GB range. The resync brought the music back to the music player and removed that additional space in Other. It is just one of those things that can happen during an upgrade.

Try the resync that I recommended to the OP. This should correct your issue. Many also report it necessary to first remove the music by un-syncing, then sync back.

Resync doesn't work and I've seen many people with the same issue. They played with my iphone 5 and macbook pro for like an hour yesterday at the apple store. The syncing always stop when this message appears : Waiting for changes to be applied. Look on this thread, it seems like there are more than enough people with this problem for Apple to get it fixed quickly. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5324398?start=555&tstart=0

Hello I have the ipad 32Gb and i just downloaded to ios 7.0.4 and after the download was complete all my songs did not down load correcly I used to have 1,200 songs and now I only have like 588 I had made playlists with selected songs that I love to listen to on a day to day basis and now it shows I have the playlists on my ipad but shows no songs in any of the folders and I had quite a bit of music in every playlist I'm so frustrated and now because of this i'm not downloading the software on my ipod touch 5th gen 32Gb because atleast I still have that to be normal and have all my music and playlists working properly!!!!

I have an iphone 4S and noticed that my music was also being deleted after I updated to ios 7.0.4; I noticed this happened right after I created new playlist. This has happened twice this week. I am again in the process of syncing my music again.

Just wanted to say that this exact thing is happening to me too: Since upgrading to 7.0.4, iPhone 4S 64GB is rapidly deleting many of my albums when I try to play them. I also noticed that songs that I downloaded on iTunes years ago and later deleted are now randomly reappearing on my iPhone.

Also, sync takes about 15 minutes, and then I check my phone and absolutely nothing has changed.

Incredibly frustrating. I hope somebody figures out a solution or we get a fresh update or something.
