NFT: iOS 8.1 upgrade issues (Music)

giantsfan227B : 10/23/2014 9:23 am
I recently purchased the iPhone 6. I had the Samsung Galaxy S3 and decided it would be nice to go back to apple where upgrades are handled in a more timely fashion and things "just work."

Apparently not.

Yesterday I received the notification to upgrade to 8.1

After the upgrade I go into music and basically all except for approximately 40 artists are gone. It is random. Some of them were recently uploaded as CD's into Itunes. Most purchased as Itunes.

I have been reading a lot of posts online and there is no consensus how to fix. Some say turn off syncing with Itunes. Some go as far as uploading music again. I haven't had a chance to sync with computer. I will do that tonight but looking at a few on line posts that doesn't necessarily work. My phone though shows a memory level that the Itunes are on the phone. I have a 128GB phone and I loaded about 35GB onto it.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea how to fix?
It happened to me

when I went from 7.something to 8.0. All o fa sudden, most of my music was gone. I had to connect back up to my computer through iTunes and reload everything I wanted.

I don't know why it happened.

I recently upgraded from 8.0.2 to 8.1 and had no problem.

I hope that is all it takes. That will take me a few minutes this evening. I have just found though with the 3 updates over the last few weeks that with each update some "preference" is turned on that screws up how I wanted the phone to act (ie No notification sounds when phone is locked) because Apple's ultimate wisdom is to turn the phone the way they want to.

This was one of the reasons I remember leaving after the 3gs.
Mine Was Ok

I upgraded ok. There was a note warning regarding purchased music that you needed to be aware. Dont remember what it said but maybe that was a factor. But, the missing CD transfers is strange.
Are the missing artists still appearing in iTunes

on your desktop? You may have to resync. I've had that problem a couple of times, even to the point where the metadata appeared on my phone (artists, song titles, artwork, etc), but the music files weren't there.
All of my playlists were erased

and it was right after I had the free U2 album automatically sent to my phone.

I called Apple and told them they released the "bono virus"

My itunes has been effed up for quite a while now. The make it worse the more they try to improve it. Its frustrating
Being an early adopter almost never pays off.

A good rule of thumb on any (i)OS, in any environment, is wait for the bugs to be ironed out. If your shit is working, leave it be.
You may want to think about Amazon Music

I switced to Amazon from Itunes and had no problem with the upgrade from 7 to 8.

getting logged out of forums every day and having to log back in after upgrading to 8.1, not sure why. Happens with BBI and numerous other websites I visit, i have to login every single day
I upgraded my iPhone 5s to to 8.02

May as well have run it over with my car. Battery dies in a few hours. Known issue that Apple denies. Had to basically troubleshoot myself until I saw a hack to downgrade to iOS 8.00

Will stay with 8.00 for a while until they figure their shit out. At least my battery lasts half a day which is still down from a day and a half with iOS 7 but hey... beggars can't be choosers.

They are quickly pushing me to Android.

anyone experience the issue

when you are a phone call, the phone stops responding, the logo appears and within about 5-15secs the phone comes back with the phone call still active? Seriously happened with my previous iPhone and the new iPhone 6+, definitely and IOS issue.

Never once had

any issues upgrading any version of iOS. Always perform a back up, and always manually sync your music

People seem to confuse issues with their specific phones with the upgrade overall. I have zero issue with my battery whatsoever and I'm running the same OS. Mine is lasting over a day. Either your battery is defective or something is draining it. Did you go to battery usage and check what's eating it?
Upgraded to 8.02

and now iTunes does recognize my phone or vice versa.
i just did the 8.1 upgrade and nothing was moved or deleted  
Giants4246 : 10/25/2014 11:11 am : link
hopefully this update fixes some of the annoying shit that was going on before
Funny there's a thread on this

I have a 4s and the last few days at the gym when listening to Pandora it keeps pausing on me. I thought maybe I just dropped it and it broke. But I did do the system update and everything else works fine. So I bet
It has something to do with this.
