hello...i updated my 3gs and didnt back up my songs and apps...is there any way to retrieve them?

Itunes content is not included in the backup that itunes makes when syncing.
You should always make sure that you have transferred all of your purchased itunes content to your computer before any update.
If you failed to do this, then you can redownload as expalined in the previous post.

As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?  I was without this app for 3 weeks!  Thanks, Lea

    The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download.  If will take about an hour. 

  • I just got Pages for my iPad. I am learning Mac. I spent hours on a document last night. This morning the document is there but it is completely blank. Did I somehow delete content? If so! What did I do? Is there any way to retrieve this document????

    I just got Pages for my iPad.  I am learning Mac. I spent hours on a document last night that has no content this morning.  The document is there but it is completely blank.  Did I accidentally delete the content?  If so, how?  Is there any way to retrieve this content?

    I'm not sure what happned either but If you are doing this via iTunes, iTunes should have backed up the iPad first. It can take a good bit of time when you update with iTunes on your computer because iTunes downloads and installs the entire iOS all over again. If you are running iOS 5 on the iPad, and you will be now, you can update OTA via WiFi in the future and the process takes far less time since you will only be downloading an incremental update.
    If you are syncing on a regular basis with iTunes, you should have a recent backup. In the worst case scenario, you should be able to restore from the backup. And as stated aboce, you can download all apps again and virtually all purchased content from iTunes (if you live in the U.S.) and you can always sync your iTunes library back to the iPad.
    Let the update finish and see where you are then. Come back if you need help.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

  • I accidentally deleted a very important page in my NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    I accidentally deleted an important page in NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    If you have backed up the iPad since you created that page of notes and if you have not synced since, you can try restoring the iPad from a backup. Remember that the notes do have to be in the backup and when you restore from a backup, you restore all app data and files from that backup. You cannot select specific content to restore to the iPad. It is all or nothing.
    If you want to try this, turn off auto sync in iTunes - without the iPad connected to the computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preference>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check the box at the bottom, click OK. Make sure that you have a backup in that window as well. Click OK and quit iTunes.
    Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select  - Restore from Backup. Select your backup from the window - Let the iPad restore and then sync with iTunes.
    you can turn at sync back on again when you are done.

    Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

  • Accidentally pressed "sync with this computer only" which was my friends computer and now i can't sync any of my songs from my laptop. Is there any way to fix this?

    I sold my iPad on eBay. I mailed the item and the buyer claims to not have it. I did a factory reset before sending and it is not coming up in my cloud. Is there another way to retrieve it?

    If it was restored as new then it no longer can be tracked.

  • Project Server 2010 - Once individual settings are changed is there any way to save this down for each person

    A timesheet submitter sets certain filters and "group by", the timesheet is then sorted according to those filters and groups. Once time sheet is saved & Submitted the filters/groups are changed back to the default for any subsequent time
    reporting periods. Is there any way to predetermine the Filter=No filter and Group by=Project for all timeperiods.

    For specific users not possible, however if you know many people use Timesheet in a specific way you might want to  consider generic timesheet view which users can choose.

  • After Upgrading to 10.1, all clips have lost the audio component.  Is there any way to get this back?

    I have recently updated Final Cut Pro to 10.1, after this upgrade (as well as an upgrade to Maverick) non of the video clips in ANY event or project have any sound component.  I have a backup of the project and event files before the upgrade, but I have no idea how I can get the clips back and if I do how I can update the numerous projects I have that no longer have sound.  Has anyone else had this problem, if so were you able to fix this?  Or am I just doing something wrong?
    The clips have no wave form when I look at them so it's almost like they have been stripped of sound.  If I goto the event browser and say reveal in finder, I am taken to Original Media, but these are tiny files that can't be played in VLC - they almost look like shortcuts or dynamic links or something...
    Can anyone help me get the adio back on these or should I revert back to a previous time machine backup and not update to 10.1?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Not sure what made the files lose the audio, but the solution for my issue was:
    In Final Cut, right click on a clip in the event viewer, Reveal in Finder
    Close Final Cut Pro
    Export orginal clips from Aperture.
    Copy exports into folder that the original meda was in, replace all
    Open up Final Cut Pro
    Load project again, it will start analysing the audio...
