Hi all,

I installed SwapTunes on my 3g yesterday and since doing so can't see my music in iPod any more (it says there is no music on there). I have tried running SwapTunes and restarting my phone a few times but still can't see it.

When I view my phone in itunes it says that there is about 8GB of "other" on my phone which I can only assume is my music.

I ssh into my phone and browse to private/var/mobile/Media and there were two iTunes_control folders there (one with a 2 on the end). The one with the 2 has all my music in it and the other has no music in it. I deleted the one without my music and renamed the one with the 2 on the end but I still can't see the music when I open ipod on my phone.

Any ideas or am I going to have to bite the bullet and do a restore?

Further to this. Not sure if it is related but any apps I have downloaded from the app store won't open. I get the splash screen for the ones that have one then it just goes back to the main iphone screen where it shows me my apps.

My iPhone is having this same problem, is there any fixes?

If your problem is still there:
browse into your device, rename "/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control" into anything you want e.g. "/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_ControlX".

Then rename "/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control2" into "/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control" (maybe take a look in the folder first, to see if yr music's in there).

Now plug off the cable and reboot yr iPhone.
If everything worked, you've got your music back and you can delete the folder "/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_ControlX", cos it's empty.

Greez, nik

BTW: i've got OS 3.0
EDIT: the AppStore Apps should work again as well
In future, i'd try to get all music from the 2nd iTunes into one Folder and copy it to the iPhone via iPhone Browser. At home, load the music in iTunes #1 and sync it to yr iPhone
