  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

    Did iTunes match complete its scan of your iTunes library on your computer? Do you have a back up on an ext HD?
    I Suggest that you read this Subscribing to iTunes from an iOS device.

  • After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

    Thanks, Huntress, but it's not in More either. I'm talking about the genius button/atom icon that used to appear in the center/top part of the screen while a song plays in the music player, like in this image (I used to be able to tap the atom icon to create a genius playlist on my iphone):
    Now, when I play a song, there is no atom icon/genius button like in the following image. I've already tried tapping where it used to be and it doesn't come back.

  • HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

    After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?  I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find.  Anyone know how?

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

  • After update, my firefox reverted to my old and unusable bookmarks leaving me with numerous lost bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    I recently updated my firefox and when I opened it, all of my bookmarks that I've made over the past several updates are gone. My current page shows bookmarks that I have deleted a long time ago or are no longer working. Even bookmarks that I have saved in folders are gone. My stumbleupon is also missing and will not update. As a teacher, many of my bookmarks were important and I would really appreciate some help.

    I have tried opening my previous bookmarks and restoring them, but even the "recently bookmarked" section shows bookmarks that I made years ago instead of the ones that I made today.

  • I had to restore my computer to its original settings after a crash. I backed up my files before hand so I didn't lose data in memory. When I ran Firefox from it, my bookmarks are gone. How can I get them back if I can?

    My computer had trouble starting for a long time. Taking it to the shop didn't help. Today it just wouldn't start at all. In a desperation move I restored it to its original settings as if I just bought it. I chose the backup files version so that I didn't lose any data in memory, though I do have to restore some settings. When I ran Firefox all my bookmarks are gone. Everything is in the My Backup folder. How can I get my bookmarks back if I can?

    As always, iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.  You should keep everything on your computer and should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • After I rebuilt my inbox all the emails in my sent box have vanished how do I get them back?   d

    This morning I found that some emails in my inbox, when I tried to open them showed this sort of message.
    "The message from [email protected] concerning “Your Oyster card has been topped up” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    Also mail folders I had created to use with rules had vanished.
    So I rebuilt the inbox.
    The mails showing take account online are unchanged, but all subsequent incoming email seems ok, but both my drafts folder AND my sent folder have had their contents deleted. In particular, how do I get my sent emails back?

  • My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?

    My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?
    If its not possible, how do I go back to the old  os?

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

    I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

    I lost all apps after reseting and updating to IOS 7.1.1 How do I get them back?
    I did a reset of my phone yesterday and now when I go to purchaed to download my paurchsed tabs there is nothing there.
    I see them in my ipad but they are not in my itunes app section either.
    I searched for one in the app store and it usually said "open" or had the cloud icon with the little arrow to downlaod again (free). But none of that shows up at all this time. All the apps that I'm missing show up in the pp store for me to buy again like I never purchased them at all!
    What's going on?
    I'm missing a ton of apps!
    Pleae help me!
    Gaby

    I just wanted to add this information to my post:
    I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
    In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
    In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
    Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
    Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
    I want my apps back.
    Thanks,

  • I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
