I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

I had to restart my computer and redownload the I Tunes program, Now none of my music is n my library. How can I get them back?

I had to completely reset my computer and re -download the I tunes program. Now none of the music I had before is in my playlist. Where did it all go? How can I get them back?

You can redownload the stuff you bought from the iTunes Store using the Purchased link on the right side of the homepage.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can also Transfer Purchases from your iPhone, but you'll have re-import the stuff off that wasn't bought through iTunes because of copyright laws (or search Google for another app).

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

HT3819 I have bought a new computer because my old one is out dated. I have upgraded everything, but my ringtones did not download how do I get them back?

I just bought a new laptop, beacuse my old on was out dated. On the old one my ringtones are on the itunes, however when I upgraded they did not download to the new computer in itunes, how can i get them back. The old computer will not support the upgraded version IOS-5? Thanks for your help. Mitzi

As far as I know ringtones can only be downloaded once. If they are still on your old computer then you should be able to copy them over via, for example, a flash drive, and then add them to the new computer's iTunes via File > Add File To Library (or Add Folder To Library) - they should then appear in the Tones part of your iTunes library.
You should be able to locate where the ringtones are stored on your old computer by right-clicking on them in iTunes and selecting 'Show In Windows Explorer'

ITunes deleted my whole music library. I was not performing an upgrade at the time. They disappeared over night without me doing anything. How can i get them back without going one by one?

I woke up this morning to find my computer had restarted itself. I don't know why. Must've upgraded something. When i opened iTunes my entire library was gone. The playlists are still there, just nothing inside them. iTunes didn't upgrade over night since it still asks me to. I've tried a system restore to the day previous but it did nothing. How can i get everything back the way it was? I would really like to not have to import it all again individually.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

My computer crashed. I downloaded two movies that were not synced to my iPod at the time of the crash. Those movies are no longer in my itunes library. How do I get them back?

The title says it all. When my computer crashed I had two movies in my iTunes library that were not synced to my iPod. What do I have to do to get them back?

I moved countries and my songs are gone from my Purchases. Is there a way to get them back without switching stores?

I recently moved from The United States of America to Germany. I received an iTunes gift card from a friend here so I changed my country to redeem the money on it. After I made a few song purchases, I remembered some albums I've bought songs from before were not complete and when I went to 'Complete My Album', nothing was there. Usually there would be 'Born to Die' by Lana del Rey listed there or 'Twilight Theater' by Poets of the Fall but nothing was there except for the albums that included the two songs I bought. I was confused and checked my purchases.
Everything was gone except for the two songs I bought.
I have bought a lot from the iTunes store and I really want to find a way to get this music back. Why aren't songs I've purchases connected to the account anyway? This seems like a complete flaw in the system. I should have access to all the songs I have purchased in the past, regardless of which country they were purchased in because I still did spend my money on it. I have only ever used cards I have received as gifts or purchased myself.
So, is there any way to fix this and get all my songs to show up again? I can't switch back to the USA store because I bet I'll be missing the songs I've purchased in the Germany store, and I've got several euros waiting to be spent on this account.
If there is no way to do this, can I just switch back and forth between the country stores after I finish the money? Or are all my purchases literally cleared and gone for good?

They are linked to your account, but they are also tied to the country that they were bought in - you won't be able to potentially redownload them unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading past purchases).
Have you not got a backup copy of all of your downloads/library that you can copy them back from ? Even if you hadn't moved countries any item could be removed from the store at any time by the rights-holders (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy.

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing. How do I get it back?

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

Why are certain apps not restoring to iPad after restore from backup. Are these apps gone and more importantly the data if they are not on my iTunes ?? Please say I can get them back

Recently restored iPad 2 to factory settings. Prior to this did a back up unfortunately when restoring my back up certain apps did not restore and are not on my iTunes. I really needed the app data I know I can re-download the apps but the data was all my work and it's not on my back up files help!!!!

thanks but it seems that when i did my backup it didnt save those apps so i have lost their content. ot may also be due to an update of my itunes as previous backups are also missing
just another great aspect of the ipad oh well i guees ill start from scratch...

I purchased movies through Apple TV at home. I then signed in to my itunes account on my ipad and the movies show up but they are listed as only accessible via icloud. How do I download them to my ipad so that I can view them on an airplane?

I purchased movies via Apple TV. I want to view them on my ipad. I signed in to itunes and see them on my ipad but they are only accessible via icloud. How do I download them to my ipad to view where there is no WiFi?

Hi there apearsal,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve purchased movies with your Apple TV and want to know how to download those movies to your iPad, so that you can watch them later without a Wi-Fi network connection. Take a look at this article, it’ll walk you through the process of downloading purchases:

Deleted icloud account and now names are gone in contacts only numbers shown. How do I get the names back?

I created an icloud account but my 2 kids shared the same itunes account. I had the kids delete their icloud accounts from their phones. My contacts and my daughter's contacts merged on my phone, when she deleted her icloud account her contacts no longer show names... only phone numbers. How can we fix this?

The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

HT5085 I have purchases (music )that is on ipad and plays but is not in ibary on pc as I changed hard drives - how can i get them back to libary to play on pc and sync ipad without losing them ?

I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

I installed ios6 on my iPad3 and now all my calendar items are gone, how do I get them back? I tried deleting my account and adding it back I. Still no calendar

I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone. I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.

The little box with the + symble next to a tab is gone (to open a new tab). How can I get it back?

This happened after downloading Firefox 4.

right-click on any of your toolbars in a place where you don't have any buttons, and choose 'customize' from the bottom of the drop-down. You should see the + button in that group of buttons available. Drag it from that menu to where ever you want it on your toolbar. If you don't see it there, close that box and right-click on a toolbar again. This time, mark any toolbars that do not have check boxes with check boxes. Inspect your toolbars to see if the + button is on the wrong one. If so, choose customize again, and then drag it to where you want it to be. After doing that, you can uncheck anything you aren't using.
