    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

    Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

    That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
    Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
    or <br />
    right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
    Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

  • I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

    I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

    You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
    to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
    they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
    jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
    for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • FAQ: How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?

    How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?
    Case 1: You have updated Photoshop Express on your phone, but iTunes on your computer has the old version
    1. First, go to iTunes on your computer. In the "Apps" section, look for the Photoshop Express icon.
    2. Right click on the icon and go to "Get Info"
    3. Ensure that the version number reflects 2.7.2, if not, then proceed to Case 2.
    4. Next, delete Photoshop Express from your phone or tablet.
    5. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    6. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    7. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials
    Case 2: You have already updated Photoshop Express on your computer
    When iTunes updates an app on your computer, it automatically moves the old version to the trash. To retrieve it and install on your device, follow these steps
    1. Go to your trash and look for a file named something like "Photoshop Express 2.7.2.ipa" (depending on which version you had previously)
    1A. If you have already emptied your trash you may be able to find this in a machine backup.
    2. Move this file to your desktop to make it easy to find.
    3. Go to iTunes, and in the Library section select "Apps".
    4. Look for the Photoshop Express icon, right click and select "Delete".
    5. Now, take the version you moved from the trash and drag it into iTunes.
    6. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    7. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    8. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten. You can view available backups under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Any backups listed that are time/date stamped are backups from restore points. These backups are not overwritten. Do you maintain a backup of your computer data? If so, you might be able to retrieve a prior iPhone backup from your computer backup.

  • How do you restore the previous button & remove / hide the autosync button?

    The 'Previous' button at the bottom of the toolbar has disappeared and now it only shows the sync / autosync button & reset.  How do I restore the Previous button? (LR 5.4)

    The sync/auto sync button should only display when you have multiple images selected. But after reading your question I went into Lightroom to confirm that. And it seems that the button is kind of "sticky". After having multiple images selected and then deselected, I had to move between images a few times before the "Previous" button returned. I've only checked it briefly.
    Later: just tried it again, and it isn't sticky anymore. Must've been a momentary glitch.

    Using the older version of firefox is not recommended.
    Try the classic theme Restore for Classic firefox Menu's

  • How can I restore my previous iTunes library?

    I placed the iTunes library file in an external hard drive and had the folders containing the usic in different locations (pc hard drive and two external HD). But then some months ago the compueter from which I were running iTunes crash down ans subsequently I had to replace its hard disc though I managed to keep all the folders wwith my music. Now my question is: how can I do to restore my previous library? Since I have a really big amont of albums, I had them distributed in different devices (5 iPods + 1 iPhone) so I think it is nit possible to get the whole library back form one single of the devices. Thank you for your help.

    Pedro, I haven’t had a need to do this myself, but here is a link that describes different methods to consolidate multiple itunes libraries: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/tp/Consolidate-Itunes-Library-Fr om-Many-Pcs-To-One.htm
    Also, here is something on recreating a itunes library from the xml file. http://fixmyapple.com/troubleshooting-guides/how-to-re-create-your-itunes-librar y/. You should have the xml if you backed up the itunes folder before the crash.
