How to get back counts and ratings

I just went to restart iTunes to find it's not there. I had to reinstall FF earlier and it removed iTunes as well.
How can i get my play counts and ratings back as I have nearly 4 years of plays and ratings.
I still have the XML file andother in a seperate folder.

+iTunes Library (which is labelled as database file).+
This is the ITL file. Windows must not be set to display file extensions,is why you aren't seeing it.
+There is also a lot of iT temp files.+
This is a big clue that something is interfering with itunes savings its ITL file. Which you can look into later.
For now, to get your database back,
1. Display file extensions in Windows
2. Close itunes
3. Rename your current ITL file to something like "iTunes Library Is blank.ITL"
On XP, the default path is C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
4. copy that saved ITL file to the C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
(assuming you are using the default path as I posted before)
5. Open itunes. Everything should be there, up to the date you made the backup to that other folder

How to get back contacts and correct Gmail address and account

Spoke on the phone with a support tech to fix a problem. Eventually he cleared out a lot of info. He said any info that was not saved is what would be eliminated. That seemed to include all of my contacts. And I had to restart my Gmail. And my mistake, I signed back in with an old address.

How to get back music and video conent after updating ipod

I have recently updated my ipod touch. And when it restored tmy stuff back it only put back my photos and apps, but deleted my music and videos. I already tried restoring form an back-up and it did not work. please help, that was a lot of music.

The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
If for some reason you have failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating ( as you always should), then you will have to redownload whatever you can:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How to get Back Pause and Forward in Task bar again?

In I-Tunes 7 I had control over I-Tunes when it was minimized in my task bar. I could skip a song or play a previous song or pause. Now all I can get is a I-Tunes Icon that opens the whole program or reduces it. I have gone to edit, preferences, advanced, but there is no box to tik to give me back this control in my task bar, only an icon.

I use the task bar mini player.
In my preferences>>advanced tab I have "show iTunes icon in system tray unchecked and also Mininmise iTunes window to system tray.
Then right click on the task bar and select toolbars, one of the options should be iTunes and it should have a tick next to it.

How to get back pictures and music after erase and reinstall of OS X?

So.. My computer was working perfectly fine until I went to turn it on and it popped up saying that I restore or back up files and such. Well I ended up having to restore the system.. But it said it wouldn't delete pictures or music. I NEED it back! HELP!

Do you have a backup of your photos?

I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants. Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes. i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files. now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files. so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date. the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download.
Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

My iphone got stolen, and now i have a new one. I would like to know how to get back all my apps on my new iphone as it doesn't seem to be possible from itunes ... Thank you

Good evening !
Oh sorry I didn't get it was just a title ...
So, as i said, my iphone got stolen like a month ago, and i purchased a new one.

Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

winkhi
Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
Just some thoughts for now.

How to get back utilities, system preferences and safari

The utilities was lost in my iMac, and so did safari. Maybe my boy deleted them in mistake, he is interested in finding the secret of iMac since I bought it three months ago. I can't launch system preferences to change the setting of iMac, and thanks God, I can connect to internet by firefox. How can I get back utilities and safari? Do I need to reload the OS X 10.4.4 then update to 10.4.9 again?

Your entire Utilities folder and/or its contents was deleted?
If so, I suggest performing an Archive & Install selecting preserve user and network settings. If not and you don't know exactly what your boy deleted (have you checked the Trash?), performing an A&I will take care of everything known or unknown at once.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/archiveinstall.html
Now is also a good time to create a backup - preferably a bootable clone backup of your entire hard drive saved to an external firewire drive used for backup purposes only.
And I also suggest creating a computer login account for your boy WITHOUT admin privileges and disable automatic login for your admin account which will require manually entering your log in password for your admin account during a computer startup, restart and with Fast User Switching.
Before stepping away from your Mac or whenever it will be used by anyone that is unattended by you, log out from your account.
Keep the install package for your Mac in a safe place but in a location that is not known by your boy.

Lost my iPod and don't know how to get back my photos

I lost my iPod touch 5th generation and don't know how to get back my photos. It is running iOS 8.1.
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get them back from where?
They will only be where you put them.
If you used photo stream, then look for them there.
If you imported them to your computer, then they will be there.
If you did not put them anywhere but your iPhone, then they are gone.
Sorry

When i update my IOS7 i lost my all pic from my IPAD2 can anyone suggest how to get back those pic? and i don,t think so i did kept back up before i update ios7. can anyone help me for this issue?

The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes). If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone. Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally.

Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone? You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago. If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.
