A bug<\/strong> has appeared for some after updating their iPhone to iOS 4.2<\/strong><\/a> – iPod libraries disappear! <\/strong>Considering how much music you might be storing on your phone, that could be a major pain. However, it doesn’t affect all iPhones and, better still, people on the Apple forums<\/strong><\/a> have already come up with a fix.<\/p>\n
