    I had the same problem after JB, solved by deleting music from phone and resyncing from itunes.

    All working again now!

    I just tried jailbreaking but after it I opened Cydia. Then it had a loading sign. When it was done it went back to home screen, but almost everything was missing! Music, mail, settings. I think all that was left over was all apps and weather, reminders, and gmail. Any ideas why this happens? I used absinthe, and I'm restoring my iPod now.

    Maybe Ally just slyly wanted to show an authentic example with that? You jailbreak your phone, and an error-free gadget becomes error prone?
