How to recover the music that disappeared on your iphone

Although technology has advanced so much in recent years, the truth is that it is far from perfect. Sometimes even inexplicable crashes can happen like when iTunes loses sight of all your music.

If this has happened to you, a quick Google search will show you that you are not the only one whose music has disappeared, since for years the users of iPhones have suffered from this apparently random problem.

How to recover music if it has disappeared in iTunes

If the music on your iPhone has disappeared for no apparent reason, here we are going to explain some of the steps you must follow to recover it again.

1. Open the Settings app, go to Music and make sure you have the Show Apple Music option turned on. If it is on, turn it off and then on again. If this doesn't work, then do the following: Restart your device or Restart your device by pressing the volume down button and the Home button together until you see the Apple logo. Then wait for your device to reboot.

If doing the steps above still does not show your music on the iPhone, we recommend that you continue with the following steps, which are somewhat more complicated but are necessary if you really want to have your music back on the phone:

1. Connect your device to iTunes, and check if the missing music is taking up space on your phone (iTunes usually lists "ghost" music as "other" media, and not as music.). If you have a lot of content in the "other" option media ”that suspiciously occupies almost the same memory as the music you had before, then you should make a backup to your device or to iCloud or your PC, and then erase all the content of your phone, including the settings. Then, simply restore your mobile from the backup. Users reported that this will cause the device to recognize music again. If the above steps still do not work, then try this method to reclaim the storage space occupied by the files in the "Other" folder and get your music back to Be recognized.

If the music just disappeared and doesn't even take up space inside the "Other" media folder, then the best thing to do is to restore it manually.

To manually restore music to your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your device is connected to iTunes. Select your device, and click on Summary in the left sidebar. Go to the Options section and check " Manually manage music and videos ". From there, drag and drop the music on your phone, and organize your content according to your preferences.

No one can know exactly why this problem occurs, but we hope that the solutions presented above will be useful to you.
