Restore Accidentally deleted songs

I accidentally deleted a whole Genre and many songs, rather then delete one duplicate song, which is what i wanted. Most songs not from ITUNEs store but from disks, whihc i no longer have. As a result, i've deleted many fav. songs. I cannot find in ITUNES Library. Not sure i am accessing Itunes Library library correctly as back ups show itl. extension. when it asked to retain file in Itunes i had said yes (thinking i was deleting one song). I assume files must be here but spent hours trying to locate. My IPOD touch has all these songs and i sppose worse to worse, i can reload from there somehow. How do i get these songs back. Just did day or 2 ago, on my IPOD and i have not turned off my MAC. I have MAC Mountain Lion desktop.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, but it is unclear whether you have an iTunes Match subscription. Do you? If not, iTunes Match can not help you. If you do have a subscription please describe how the songs were deleted. If the files are no longer physically on your computer and you do not see them in the iTunes library with a cloud download icon this means they have also been deleted from iTunes Match and are not recoverable.
The most eficatious way to restore the missing songs will be to restore from the backups you have been making of your personal data. You have been backing up your data to an external HDD, haven't you?

    Did you use Sherlock to search?
    Did you check your Applications folder?
    If yes to the above then you can custom install Photo Booth from DVD #1 that originally came w/your computer. Photo Booth should be inside the *Bundled Software* folder. If not there, check the Applications folder.
    If you still cannot locate PB on the DVD you will need to use Pacifist

    Also see Kappy’s detailed How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components instructions.

  • Getting a new Macbook Pro, accidentally deleted songs off computer...

  • How can I restore accidentally-deleted add-ons?

    A year ago, I wasn't fully awake and I accidentally deleted some critical add-ons that my Firefox needs to become stable. Is there a way I can restore them?

    If this was nearly a year ago then it is very highly unlikely that there is any remnants of the add-ons left. depending on the add-on and very specific circumstances it may have left behind config files in a temporary area. the only thing i could suggest to get them back would to be to attempt to recall which add-ons you installed and re install them. If you are merely interested in making firefox as stable as it was when you first installed it then please follow [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|this mozilla support article]] showing how to completely reset your browser. NOTE: Pay close attention to what the article says a reset will and will not change. a total browser reset may be just what you want or may not effect anything at all for you.

  • Accidentally deleted song in iTunes, how to retrieve from iCloud?

    I accidentally deleted a song I have on iCloud which I had downloaded to my computer. The song still shows in iTunes but when I click on it it says song can't be located. When I go to the store it shows it's already purchased. How do I download the song again?

    You somehow deleted the file from the Finder/Windows Explorer. Don't do that. To re-download purchases first delete the track from the iTunes library then follow the steps in the link Chris CA posted.

    As far as I know only camera roll pictures can be deleted off an iPhone & camera roll photos are included in the back-ups...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    The relevant entry from the support document, as it does list camera roll pictures and videos in what is backed-up.
    iTunes will back up the following information:
    Address Book and Address Book favorites.
    App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
    Application settings, preferences, and data.
    Autofill for webpages.

    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    List of External Sync Sources (Mobile Me, Exchange ActiveSync).
    Location service preferences for apps and websites you have allowed to use your location.
    Mail accounts.
    Managed Configurations/Profiles. When restoring a backup to a different device, all settings related to the configuration profiles will not be restored (accounts, restrictions, or anything else that can be specified through a configuration profile). Note that accounts and settings that are not associated with a configuration profile will still be restored.
    Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps.
    Microsoft Exchange account configurations.
    Network settings (saved wifi spots, VPN settings, network preferences).

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • Restore Accidentally Deleted Alias

    Hello all--- I just switched over to iCloud.  I have had an email alias ([email protected]) that I have used for work for several years.  The alias successfully transfered.  It showed up in the iCloud preferences post-transfer. 
    And then... accidentally, I deleted it (I clicked the "delete" button by mistake, and that was it, no confirmation button, it was gone.  GONE!)  I really need to get that back!!  Any ideas????  I've been bounced around Apple Support with no luck and meanwhile, my work emails are falling into an abyss....

    I hope to hear from a Verizon representative very soon--telephone is the best method to reach me at this point.
    It's been four days since the alias disappeared, which means hundreds of emails I have not received. Verizon Technical Support by telephone haven't been able to help, and they give different, often conflicting information--as one might expect, since they're not the ones who have the knowledge and power regarding the situation.

  • Accidentally deleted song from icloud

    I just started using iMatch.  Alas I deleted a favourite song from iCloud.  It does not show up in hidden purchases (because I had the CD and didn't buy if from iTunes?)
    The song doesn't appear on my computer iTunes, but it has been downloaded to my iPad.  I still have the CD, but how do I get the song back into the cloud?  I want to be able to sync it to all my devices( (even if it's there now, it may someday get unsynced, right?).
    (I have been dealing with a duplicates issue and am using iMatch to sort it out.  Not without issues...)
    PM

    Copy the song from the CD back into your iTunes Library, then update iTunes Match.

  • Recover accidentally deleted song?

    I'm using the Spotify web player, I was in "Your Music" > "Songs" and was attempting to play a song because I couldn't remember what it sounded like. Well instead of clicking play I accidentally clicked the X just a few pixels to the right and BOOM the song vanished! I didn't remember the name of the artist, album or song so I couldn't bring it back. Is there a way for me to find the name of the song I just removed?

    Oh snap. Yah, sorry buddy, there's no way you can recover that song unless you know the song's name/artist/album/etc. I feel you though! This happened to me too! If you have any chance of remebering any of the lyrics from that particular song, type it on google and hope of the best! Again sorry!
    Hope that helps!!

  • Is there anyway to restore accidentally deleted videos from Iphone4?

    My kid deleted a whole years worth of videos from my IPhone4 and am trying to find out if there is a way to restore?  Please help!

    One of the reasons why photos/videos captured by the iPhone should be imported by your computer ASAP after capture as with any other digital camera.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process if updating the backup is done on your computer, or over the air with an iCloud account if this option is selected.
    If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the videos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Do not update the backup when prompted as the first step when doing so.

  • How do I restore my deleted songs?

    So I just bought an iPhone 4s and wanted to add all my stuff (songs, apps, photos). I just got some new songs on my iPod touch and wanted to add it to my iTunes library. I didn't buy the songs, I downloaded them from a website. My mom deleted everything from my computer and only saved photos and files to a USB. So when I went on iTunes, my library had nothing in it. So I figured I would sync my songs on my iPod to the library. But it asked me if I wanted to erase and sync which I did, which left me with no songs on my iPod! I don't know if it's too late to get all the songs back? By the way I'm using windows 7. Also, since I don't know how to get my songs back, I still have songs on my iPod video and tried to add that to my library and figured I would just add those songs to my iPod touch. But when I tried adding the songs to my library, it wouldn't let me. So if someone could help me that would great! I've tried googling everything but nothings has really worked.

    The songs are gone from the iPod touch since you erased the touch.
    To copy non-iTunes purchased music from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do I restore deleted songs on my ipod

    Hello all,
    I have an issue. I have the U2 limited edition IPod. I accendently deleted all of my music from the IPOD. How do I restore the deleted songs? I don't have the songs backed up anywhere, and most of the songs are not from my computer. (I collected the songs from various computers from different friends.) Please help.

    It's not yet "the end"...(as far as I know) When you delete songs in your Ipod, it's still "there"...something like "recycle bin"...you just can't "see them"...
    I was able to used a program about 2 weeks ago that enables you to "actually" delete(shred) or recover songs in your ipod...But, I'm sorry, I forgot the name...
    Well, thought I'd just tell you that...to - at least - give you a little "hope" =)

  • I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

    I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod?  I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.
