I updated to 4.2 today and now when I try to access my music from my phone it says there's no content and to connect to itunes. However, when I look at my phone's music on itunes everything is there. Also, none of my apps or other data is missing. I tried restarting my phone but it didn't help. Suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

This happened to me, although I had only podcasts. What I did was download one new podcast through iTunes on my computer, and did a sync, and then all the older podcasts appeared on my iphone.
Same thing happened me and my iPod touch, but not my iPhone 4 or iPad. Once I plugged it back it in to iTunes and clicked 'Sync' it all re-appeared (nothing actually synced, it just made it re-appear)
Actually, the music is all there.
If you go to "About" you will see the songs and videos listed there.
Before you update:
Step#1: Sync
After you update

This just happened to me too.
I went to Settings, General and About and it says all the stuff is there. But when I click the iPod icon it says there is no content.
I guess I'll re-sync.
How annoying.

I don't autosync, but this worked:
1) Attach your phone to your computer.
2) Play a song on the iPhone via iTunes.
3) Hit SYNC.
Library reappears.

I could have been more clear. I keep my iTunes library empty and because I manually manage my music and yes, I was able to recover the music in seconds even with an empty iTunes library.
A Sync goes both ways, so it'll update your iTunes.
How did you get it in there if it's not in iTunes?
I think this happened to everyone. You start iPod. Nothing listed. Go to About and it says there are 200 songs in your phone.
Sync. Open iPod. List is back. Takes 2 seconds.
Yes, it's all over the news.
Happened on my iphone 4 and ipad. With device connected, just played a song from the device while in itunes and resync'd. Also brought back my movies and TV shows. Really annoying but easy to fix.
Cheers,
