Music not appearing in manage storage settings

I have the same issue. I have a 4S still.... I know, I know... never should've upgraded the iOS. But come on! Swipe to delete Music in Manage Storage and the ENTIRE CATEGORY goes away FOREVER. Really great development practices going on over at Apple. They need to fix this. NOW. Nexus 6 arrives this week and if this is the way the iPhone 5s and 6 behave.... and Apple updates continue to behave... I'll be over there.

I have the same problem. Please Apple, help. So frustrating.

Oops, but my issue is with my new iphone6.

I'm curious to see if turning off music syncing and then doing an iTunes sync erases the music. Or perhaps just tweaking the music selections and resyncing? (If you sync nothing already, maybe try syncing a single song, just to get the option to appear?)

Same issue here, cant figure out how to dowload 79 songs still on my phone. Used to be under Usage. Iphone6+ here.

I've tried removing them via iTunes sync and logging out of my iCloud but no dice, I also have a 6 and this is really irritating. iTunes and iOS are up to date,as well.

Same here... why is apple not responding to this issue????

Hi, I also have this issue - can't sync any music? whats going on Apple? Please help

Exactly the same issues. Music does not appear in 'Manage storage'. song swipe delete function doesn't work. Songs cannot be accessed and deleted when you sync phone to itunes/computer.

Same issue here for me on iPhone 6 and iOS 8.3. I have songs in the Music app on my iPhone I want to delete but have no way of doing it. When connecting the phone via USB to my PC, iTunes says there is no music on the device.

Just had the same issue with my mums iPhone 6+. And we found that iTunes was doing the same thing as many have said here. That the phone itself wouldn't show music in the storage settings to let you delete it, and also showed when plugged into computer that there was no music taking up storage, but when going to the app still showed music. We found that the music that was showing in the app was 'purchased' from iTunes itself therefore when playing from the music app it was actually streaming through the internet and the iTunes account itself. Alternative for this is really to either log your phone out of your iTunes account or basically suck it up princess. 🙂

Hoping for an answer here. What iTunes shows as taking up space on my phone doesn't jive with what "manage storage" shows in phone settings. I connect my phone to iTunes and it says I have 49 songs taking up storage on my phone, yet on my phone there are no songs that I can find anywhere in any app. Under manage storage in settings music does not even come up and is not an option.

In a related question I have also deleted all my photos on my phone and in iTunes it shows I have over 2,000 photos taking up space. Under manage storage in settings on my phone: photos shows 312mg under "my photo stream" and 235kb for shared photo stream. All with no photos on my phone.
