Apple Music deleted all my songs :(

Hi stuckboss,

I have experienced a similar problem as Cesarion. I have no idea what caused it. I had Apple Music and iCloud Music Library turned on. On Monday night I was listening to music on my AppleTV. I added Rihanna's Sledgehammer and Fall Out Boy's Ghostbusters to My Music. On Tuesday I listened to a TWiT podcast on my iPhone 6. Then I went to listen to these 2 songs and I found a completely empty Music Library. I was very confused. I decided to listen to an audiobook in iBooks and found that it too was completely empty.

My phone had several gigs of music downloaded from my iCloud Music Library. There were some songs from Apple Music. However, there were very few songs I add to my iPhone from Apple Music. I usually just stream Apple Music.

When I got back home and reconnected to WiFi I turned off and then on the iCloud Music Library setting. When prompted to Merge or Replace I selected to Replace the library on my iPhone. I went back over to Music and it stated "Loading Library". Just like Cesarion it stopped with an error message that it was not possible to load my iCloud Library. I repeated this process several times with the same outcome everytime. I power cycled the iPhone and encountered the same outcome. I connected the iPhone to a power source and encountered the same outcome.

How do I reset the music library on the iPhone? I want my music back.

Thank you,

Charles

According to iTunes the music and audiobooks are still on the iPhone (iTunes / iPhone / On My Device). Although, some of the songs have the icon indicating that they are still getting uploaded to the iPhone. There are 12 audiobooks on the iPhone. None of this content is accessible or viewable from the iPhone Music or iBooks apps. Even under General / About there are 0 Songs.

This is very strange.

More importantly how do I restore the library and access the content that is on this iPhone?

I don't use Apple music so turning it on is useless.All my music was downloaded directly to my phone so I don't have to use wifi or data! This is the same reason I don't use cloud music. Also the BIG question is WHY is my music getting deleted? It;s great that a solution is offered to fix the problem but now please offer an explanation as to what is causing this to happen. It is not the first time this has happened either. This is very frustrating.

I accidently deleted my music from my music library with apple music, is there anyway i can recover them or do i have to download them again?

Mine did too and I have both settings on. Is there any other suggestions?

Mine did the same thing today and their advice worked for me as well

Your just a savior bot

Hi dear please how can I recover my music back on

The same happened to me, i lost my 2500 songs because i trusted apple, but now i see it was a bad idea, im going back to spotify

Hi Tolu777,

This feature, which would be great, is not available 😟

Have a nice day 😀

I had a HUGE library of audiobooks that I ripped from CDs - all gone
