As you can see in this Apple Discussion forum, others are having the same issue. The way to fix it is apparently to plug your iPhone back into your computer, play a song from the iPhone on your computer, and then sync. The process is very quick because it doesn’t actually have to transfer all that music again, it just makes it recognize that it’s already there. Sure enough, my content is now back.
Oddly, it looks as if this issue may only affect the iPhone 4. I updated an iPhone 3GS earlier and see all my music just fine. Likewise with the iPad.
Update: A few people have since said that the problem affects iPod touches as well.
Update 2: And yet more people are saying it’s affecting their iPhone 3GS as well. Again, my 3GS updated just fine. Weird.
