I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library.  Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file.  I was originally trying to recover a playlist that vanished after I had updated one of the ipads, did an online search, followed the instructions only to discover that I had loaded an itunes library from 2 years ago.  Stupidly I thought that it had updated itself and didn't realise I had to do it.  Any he

    You can look for it.
    If you find it, you will have it back.
    If you had find my iphone activated on the iphone BEFORE it was lost, then you may be able to track it.

  • I have installed adobe photoshop CS5 extended and I don't know where to find how to open it up.

    I have downloaded photoshop CS5 extended and I don't know how to find where to open it up.

    Which operating system are you using?  It should open in the usual manner depending on your OS.

  • I accidentally deleted my entire iTunes library after updating my iTunes.  Is there any way that I can get these songs back?

    After clicking on an update for iTunes, the only change I noticed was the addition of about 9000 sound bytes, which was ridiculous and wasteful.  I started to delete all the sound bytes, but that was going to be a huge chore.  Instead, I moved the songs I had in my library to a playlist called "backup library."  I then chose to "select all" under edit to highlight the rest of the 9000 soundbytes and delete these in one click.  At first, this seemed to work.  I still had the saved songs in my playlist, and the 9000 sound bytes went to the recycle bin.  I then emptied the recycle bin to get rid of the sound bytes.  When I checked iTunes again, there were no songs anywhere in the library or playlists.  Is there any thing you can do to help restore all of these songs (and none of the sound bytes) to my IPOD Classic?  Is my account saved with a back-up of everything I had saved in my iTunes library and playlists?
    I have about 1500 songs in my IPOD Classic that are not affected by this error.  Is there a way that I can transfer all of these songs back into my iTunes library? 
    I would appreciate any help with this problem.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022
    You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
    Here is a good idea for when your done:

  • Okay, so i have two different itunes accounts is there any way that i can merge them together so i can have all my music and stuff on one account? and i have already tried home sharing and it didn't work.

    I really need some help with this if anyone knows how please help me!

    No. All iTunes purchases remain permanently tied to the account used to purchase them. You can however authorize your computer for multiple accounts and any Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts at any one time.
    If you are trying to merge two separate iTunes libraries into one that is a different problem. Take the largest, add all the content from the smallest, then dedupe.

  • I have lost a $25 iTunes card is there any way the money can be credited to my account

    Lost iTunes Cards

    No.
    If you bought the item with a credit card I suppose there is an outside chance that some form of the purchase protection insurance on the card might cover it.

  • Firefox keeps crashing and I don't know where to find "about:crashes"

    In recent weeks Firefox has begun to crash repeatedly and unexpectedly - mostly when I click to open it. I often get the infuriating "well this is embarrassing" message. Most unhelpful. I send you the report of the crash and expect to hear from you as to why I am having problems but nothing happens. I can't find how to locate the "about:crashes" in the location bar. Can you explain this.

    Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
    If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.
