Problem Transferring Music

Good morning dcuttler,

I understand you backed up your iPhone 4s uing iTunes and set up your iPhone 6 by restoring from that backup. If your music and ringtones did not transfer over, here are a few things you can try:

Manually sync with your iTunes Library

When you backed up your iPhone, did you transfer your iPhone purchases to your iTunes library? If so, all of your music (imported from CDs, downloaded from the iTunes Store) and playlists should still be in your iTunes library. You can choose which content you want to sync to your new device.

Download Past Purchases

You can choose to download any music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store to your new iPhone. Here's how:

@judysings Thank you for the very informative post. My problem is slightly different. I have no clue what triggered this but yesterday i realised that my iphone 6 didnt have any of the music that were in a playlist. In itunes under the on the device.. all music is showing however that music is somehow not syncing to the iphone. Then i updated to iOS 8.2 hoping it would resolve the issue but to no avail.

Hi dcuttler,

I'm happy to hear the information helped get you back on track.
Enjoy your music!
