My entire music library has disappeared

My entire music library -- including playlists curated over the years that are very important to me -- has disappeared from iTunes and the Music app on my iPhone. What can I do?

Hello NealTLV,


We understand from your question that you are missing music from your library on iTunes and the Music app on your iPhone. We can certainly help you with this!


If could be that Sync Library got turned off.


This article will be a good resource for you. It will walk you through the necessary steps to resolve the question.

If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library


"If a song is missing

Make sure that all of your devices have Sync Library turned on, and signed in with the same Apple ID.


If you’re still missing a song that you added from the Apple Music catalog, then the song might have been removed from Apple Music or is available under a different file name. Try searching Apple Music for the song, then add it to your library."


We hope this is able to resolve your issue. If you have any more questions or this does not resolve your issue, please reach back out on the thread!


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
