Itunes backup crashed.(but was recovered)
So my backup drive was failing and i purchased a new drive to transfer all the data over to it. Before I could get the data transferred the drive failed. I used Data Rescue 3 and it has recovered all the files. The thing is all the mp3 files play in itunes and quicktime. (ripped from cds) But, all the itunes download i have purchased will not work. I have the file and they still have the lock on them. When I double click them they open itunes. they will not load or play in itunes or quicktime. I tried importing into itunes adding within itunes and dragging into the app window and nothing. Any ideas how I can get these files to work?
check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
any help ?

i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?
Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer. -
Is there a way to sync past messages from my old iPhone to my iPhone 5 ? I'm aware of the iTunes backup syncing but how would I transfer that between two devices ?
Restore from old iPhone backup can past all data including messages to your new iPhone. Or you can resfer to this iPhone 4/4S SMS to iPhone 5 transfer tutorial. It shows you how to transfer messages only.

My laptop crashed, but I was able to obtain all my music and loaded them onto two discs... How do I upload them on my new laptop and to my Itunes account?
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:

ITunes Backup crash on Windows 7
Recently I have been having a problem with syncing my iPhone 4 16Gb with iTunes 11.0.4.4. I would open iTunes and it would fine while playing music etc. but as soon as I plug in my iPhone and backs up, iTunes would crash when back up has reached step 2, leaving me with "iTunes has stopped working"

I have tried almost everything to solve this problem, if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!
BTW: I am using Windows 7 64-bitWhatsupp y'all.. So my problem has been solved, thanks to none of the apple support people! Anyway the thing that solved it was something to do with a process that had to be terminated, I'm not sure if this will help you, but when I wanted to safely remove a USB from my PC, it kept saying "the device is currently in use" eventhough I wasn't using the device, anyway I went to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/problem-ejec ting-usb-mass-storage-device-this/1863c012-ff54-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 to solve the usb problem by downloading http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 just after terminating a few processes I was able to eject my USB, for intrest's sake I tried to sync my iPhone and it worked.
A day or two later my iTunes gave the same sync problem and I tried the process ending thing again and it solved the problem..
Anyways, hope this helped. -
Hard drive crashed, data was recovered! How do I recreate my iPhoto library?
My external hard drive crashed but all my data was recovered. All the iPhoto library stuff is in a folder but I'm not sure if I should just copy it all into a new library...or what. If not, how do I figure out which are the photo files and what is not needed.
Thank you!Drop the folder you recovered onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock. If iPhoto opens and you see your library then you've dodged a bullet. If iPhoto doesn't open then you'll have to start over with a new library.
Launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select the option to create a new library. Then open the recovered folder and drag the Masters folder (if there is one) or the Originals folder into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same events as your old one.

I am a new user to the ipad Purchased a mini. Took prom pictures and promptly deleted them from my Camera Roll. I have not backed up to iTunes. Is there a way to recover them from my mini?
Even if you haven’t backed up your iPad with iTunes manually, iTunes might have backed up it automatically each time you sync your iPad with iTunes. If you have enabled iCloud, every time, your iPad is connected to Wifi and a power source, and the screen is locked, iCloud will automatically backup your photos. So try to restore the deleted photos from iTunes or iCloud backup first if the backups were created before the deletion.

If you don’t want to restore your iPad with an out-of-date backup, erase all the content and settings on your iPad, and go back to an older iOS version, try to extract your iPad photos from your iTunes or iCloud backup with the iPhone backup extractor.
Other than restoring from iTunes or iCloud backup, there are still at least 3 other solutions for you to recover deleted photos on iPhone (also works for iPad):
Extracting from previous iTunes backup;
Retrieving directly from iPhone;
Copying from other backups. -
My iPod Touch just keeps saying "Connect to iTunes" when it is connected to iTunes. I've tried everything, too.
Since the maximum OS X version for an eMac is 10.5, how are you running OS X 10.7.5 on the eMac?

But how do I create a new iTunes backup password without knowing the previous one?
In case anyone keeps track of such things, I'm among those folks who really doesn't recall ever being asked to create an iTunes backup password, but that's irrelevant to my question.
I'm not in any bind. I don't need my backup files to restore anything. I will shed no tears as they are moved to the Recycle Bin (indeed, I will gladly do the deed myself).
That said, it appears impossible to create a new backup password without knowing the previous one.
If the only "solution" is to wipe my iPhone's memory and start from scratch, I will be a sad camper.
Any help? Are backups to iCloud encrypted?
Cheers...Additionally:
Be super critical & meticulous (and whatever other synonym I missed) when you get a new password:
Write it onto your bedroom wall, or someplace off of a computer that you will always find.
If you active 2-step verification, the key is VERY important. Lose it & you may be toast.
If you don’t 2 step verify, & use the Security Question instead --> do not lose, or forget the answers.
Very nearly the same outcome!!!!!: Bad experience.
If you add a 2nd email address, make sure its a RESCUE address not just an alternate address.
If you lose these, you lose access to your 3rd party purchases via Appstore for future upgrade. That will make you VEWY, VEWY UNHAPPY. Apple new OS versions do update, but add a new device & likely you will be unable to use your content on that device. It will never load if the ID locks up. -
I had my iPad 2 replaced by Applestore today. On the new iPad I tried to restore from iCloud backup point but was told I was unable to do this as the new iPad needed to have the latest running system iOS 7 loaded. Is there a way I can do this so I can get my iCloud backup or do I need to go back to Applestore and get an iPad preloaded with iOS 7?
If you feel comfortable you can do the Update to iOS 7 yourself and after you have successfully done that... then Restore your iCloud Back Up.
If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself... Then go back to the Apple Store and get them to do it.
They will be Happy to assist you. -
ITunes Match causing iTunes to crash
I have read many discussions around how to work around the Match causing iTunes to crash, but I cannot seem to get past it with the suggestions made in other discussion threads, hence I thought I might try a new one to focus on my specific case.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, i7-2600, iTunes 11.0.4.4.
One option many suggest is to add to the View iCloud Status. Unfortunately, I do not have this option in my view menu! It goes from "Grouping" to "Kind". So, I can't see which songs are potentially causing the issue. I did delete songs with no time (less than 1 sec), but it was only a couple and did not make a difference I think.
It has crashed many, many times as I have attempted to go through the process and although I generally make some progress through the entire process, it still gets hung up and I have not successfully made it the entire way. I do have access to what has uploaded through my devices, but it is so frustrating - especially at the $25 per year cost for this.
The additional frustrating part is that when it does crash, you have to log off, log back on, then turn the whole darn thing back on to start it over once again! Mind you, it does go through the steps quicker, but regardless I am sitting here watching the thing go through step 1, step 2, then on to step 3, start uploading artwork and remaining songs, only to have it continue to crash with a couple thousand songs left to go.
Can anyone help with additional suggestions on what to do, how to show the iCloud status, etc.?I did find how to add the iCloud status - which shows up as an option when Match is turned on - but I didn't try to access it while the Match was working previously. Unfortunately, it STILL crashes but I can at least see what is eligible or not until it does! [Why doesn't it still show up when Match is turned off? Just rhetorical questioning.]

I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back. I did not remove my phone from the computer until it had said it had finsihed.
Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?
Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?
I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access. -
I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?
As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

It is worth to try if your photos are important.
