Lost purchased iTunes after computer system restore

How can I retreive purchsed iTunes that I lost after I had my computer system restored? I re-loaded the iPod + iTunes disc and non of my songs seem available to me.

That is going to depend on what you mean by "restore". If you formatted your hard drive and did not have a backup then the music files are gone and you will have to re purchase them all. Same thing if you
If you still have your music files all you need to do is add them to iTunes. Go to File > Add Folder to Lib... and point to where the files are.
If you believe you still have the music files but do not know where they are try doing a search for *.m4p, or *.mpb, or *.mp3. If the files are still on your hard drive then that should find them.

Reinstalling Itunes after laptop system restore

My laptop was corrupted, it wouldn't boot up and I have had to do a system restore ... meaning I have lost my Itunes library. On top of which I hadnt backed up my library! All I have is my nano generation 3 with 1000+ tracks on it. I've heard if I reinstall Itunes and then syncronise my nano I will lose everything on my nano! Is this true? And if so, is there any way I can get the tracks stored in my library onto my laptop? I really don't fancy downloading 1000+ tracks again!

I found the answer in the response to the earlier post "Coping music from ipod back to PC" (posted: Aug 1, 2007 10:25 AM) and ended up using Tunejack ... it was very simple, everything is restored to my Itunes library including playlists, number of times played etc, although I did have to redownload album cover designs, but that was no real hardship. I then synchronised my Ipod with Itunes as normal so that everything was aligned. As I side issue, because I had redownloaded Itunes onto my computer, found I had to reauthorise my computer. Otherwise when I did my sync, it wouldn't transfer tracks back to the Ipod that I had previously downloaded from the Itunes store, because it thought that they had been purchased via another computer!

A few days ago(after a system restore) the firefox 15.0.1 crashes every time i opened(in a few secondes or in 1-2 minutes)

If the problems arose after a restore from a Windows restore point you may need to resort to reinstalling Firefox, as sometimes Windows restores have been known to break Firefox.
Security software including Firewalls is another problem that can slow Firefox or cause it not to work. You need to ensure the security software recognises the current version of Firefox (Again I wonder if a Windows restore may have affected this also.)
* [[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
*also see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
If you are getting crashes are you able to provide the Crash IDs for a couple of recent crashes.
* see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]] <br/> they can be found by navigating to about:crashes
Also see
* [[Firefox does not work - Common fixes to get you back up and running]]
*[[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
Apparently you say there is no problem in Safe Mode, if so try Firefox with Hardware Acceleration off, if that helps then instead of leaving it off look at your graphics drivers.
* see [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration]]_turn-off-hardware-acceleration
* maybe your graphics driver rolled back on the restore, and needs reinstalling see [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Transferring itunes for a system restore

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting so bear with me here. I was wanting to system restore my mac by putting in the original install disc. I know how to back up all of my other files, but itunes is the only one I'm concerned about. How can I transfer all my songs successfully from my current itunes library to my new one after the system restore. I want to make sure I don't lose the licenses and be unable to play any of my songs after the system restore. I also have a couple movies I purchased over itunes and want to make sure those transfer as well. Thanks for the help!

Copy the entire iTunes folder (the entire folder, not just the iTunes Music folder) from your user's Music folder to some external medium (an external hard drive is easiest). Deauthorize your system from any iTunes Store accounts you've been using by using the Deauthorize Computer command under the Store menu in iTunes. Re-do your system and recreate your Mac OS X user account. Copy the iTunes folder back from your external medium to your user's Music folder. Launch iTunes and everything should be back; just play an item purchased from the iTunes Store, or use the Authorize command under the Store menu, to re-authorize the computer.
Regards.

Uploading previous iWeb work after a system restore?

How do I upload previous iWeb work after a system restore?
I backed up my data on a Hard-drive then I did a factory reset or restore of my hard-drive....
Now I am attempting to open my previous iWeb work online and it is not working please help.....

Your domain.sites2 file is the file that iWeb stores all its data and it is this file that you need if you want to continue updating your website in iWeb.
It is found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and then the domain.sites file.
Your user library is the one with the house and this is where your personal user information is stored as opposed to your System Library which is general and where iWeb is not.
If you don't have your domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your site from scratch as iWeb does not have the ability to read or open html files - so a previously published site - it is a one way street creating html files upon publishing.

HT4623 Why can't I access itunes after ios7 update?

I can't access itunes after updating to ios7 on an iphone 4s?

This is could be due to the cookie settings update that was made with iOS7.
Try the following:
1) Kill the iTunes App (if running in background)
2) Goto Settings/Safari/Block Cookies
3) Select 'Never' or 'From Third Parties and advertisers'
4) Launch iTunes App again
See if that addresses the issue.

I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version." You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!! What a piece of crap! If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute!

Strip it out and start again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
My library is large at 3000 items.
Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

After a system restore, my search bar can't be used

My computer had a system restore after a storm shut my computer off after being frozen. No other issues are going on other than when I try to use the search bar, nothing happens. If I use the drop down box in the search bar, the only options I get are Add "Firefox Help", and Manage search engines. If I click on manage search engines, usually I get a list of options, google, yahoo, etc, but it is completely empty and restore defaults is grayed out.
Per other suggestions on this forum, I have upgraded to the latest firefox version, I have also downloaded the serachreset addon which didn't help. Also, there was another post on deleting the formhistory.sqlite file under my profiles, however, when I went to try this, there was no such file for me. (from this website's instructions http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines)
Please help as I don't want to have to delete the entire program just to find that upon reinstall, I don't have a fix.

You are sure that they are in browser\searchplugins and not in \searchplugins in the Firefox program folder?
There has been a change and in current Firefox versions some files and folders have been moved to the browser folder and searchplugins is one of them.

After a System restore event I am unable to 'unpack' the Abobe Creative Cloud App to load it.

I purchase a subscription to the cloud (Lightroom / Photoshop). The APP all downloaded fine after the purchase and the short cut worked, I managed to download the 2 software packages and started to use them. I then had to action a Win 7 Systems restore. Following this the software was no longer on the Laptop. I therefore tried to re-download the APP. This initially seemed to work OK but when running it, the APP appears to start the loading process, then just disappears after a few seconds. I have waited for hours to see if it would finally burst into life. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to restore functionality and what the issue is? Many thanks in anticipation.

Cannot access iTunes after failed update.

The last time I accessed iTunes I was notified that an update was available (forget the number or version). I hit "install 1 item" but the download failed for some reason or other. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Today, I tried to just get into iTunes to get to my music and got an error mesage:
System Error MSVCR80.dll Missing
iTunes not installed correctly
Error 7
Windows Error 126
Reinstall iTunes
I tried to restore to pervious versions, didn't work. I tried to download iTunes, didn't work.
I have a shitload of stuff that I have purchased from Apple including music, tv shows, entire seasons that I am still watching and receiving. Now I don't have iTunes. Can anybody help me...please?

Make sure you follow the instructions to remove all itunes related components and files.
Let us know how it goes.

After Full System Restore

I just did a full system restore using time machine, and I have a question. After this is done, I noticed that I had to set up my external hard drive, which I used to do the system restore, once again to work with time machine. Because of this, time machine starts over from the very beginning and the previous backups seem to be lost. However, when I drill down on my external hard drive, I see two folders "mynameImac1" and "mynameImac2". Imac 2 is my newest backup. So what about my old backups? Apparently they're still on my external hard drive under Imac 1. Can I access these time machine backups or should I just delete this folder?
Thanks,
Nick

Whatever you do, do NOT delete that folder via the Finder. You will hopelessly choke your Mac. Never change or delete anything of Time Machine's that way; it may get very grumpy.
TM has started a new sequence of backups.
To view them via Time Machine, hold down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your menubar. That will change the +Enter Time Machine+ option to +Browse Other Time Machine Disks.+ It's a bit misleading in your case, but will show you the old set of backups.
If your TM drive/partition is big enough, you may want to keep the old backups. If not, your best bet may be to erase the drive with Disk Utility and let it start over.
If you decide to keep them, monitor TM's backups for a while, to be sure it's "thinning" the old set properly. Otherwise, when the disk gets near full, it will start deleting the oldest of the new set, not the old set.
The easiest way to do that is to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window.
TM should "thin" most backups after 24 hours, but keep the first of the day for a month. Then it deletes the dailies, except for one per week, which it keeps as long as there's room.
If you want, you can manually delete TM backups, from the TM interface, via the instructions in item 12 of the +Frequently Asked Questions+ post at the top of this forum.
