All Addresses Wiped Out - Where Are They?

My wife is a new Mac user, with a nice, new Core Duo iMac. She's been busy populating all her applications with data.
She has not been busy backing up.
Last night, she was adding addresses to Address Book 4.0.3 (Build 477.6). She got tired of using the "add to address book" command, so she created an empty group in Address Book and dragged a number of highlighted addresses from a Mail message to the empty folder.
Dragging one address at a time worked.
Dragging sixty together crashed Address Book and all other open applications. After force-quitting Address Book, all the new addresses were gone (of course)- but so were all the old ones.
There was also an interesting,new (to me) Finder crash - the Dock animation was frozen, while the cursor was working fine.
All of her Address Book data, Groups and Names, is gone. Is there a place to look for this data?

Actually, after I posted to your question I found several more strings with the same general discussion. No answers, however. Look under the addressbook category

My itunes were transferred where are they

All my files from my Macbook were tranferred to my new Mac Air by Future Shop. All I can find is a quick view of them which has each song begin part way thorugh. I checked under my account and it shows all my purchases so where are they? Can't find my playlists either.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forum.

If you didn't configure Windows Phone backup option or use VZW Backup Assistant then all is lost.
If you did go with Windows Phone native backup and you use an Outlook account you should find your photos and videos on OneDrive. I'm not sure how much VZW Backup Assistant backs up but you would need to start a restore from that software and see what's preserved.
With any OS installs/updates a backup is always best to first.

I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 3.3.5 to iOS 5.0 and lost all my photos on the camera roll. Where are they and can I retrieve them?

I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?

Have you been using your phone as recommended? If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping. Just as you would with a standalone digital camera. Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival.
While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup. Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

They will only be where you put them. They do not magically appear in new places.
Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

I updated to Mountain Lion and Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. Where are they?

I updated to Mountain Lion and now Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. What happened and where are they?

-------- "Your RSS data is not lost. You can find it in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS folder."
it's just as good as lost, if there is no way to load the info in that folder into a new reader.
i followed that path, ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS, and I have almost 40 rss feeds. that means
there are nearly 40 folders that I would have to go into, one by one, and extract the pertinent
information, and import, one by one, into a new reader.
this is a problem that Apple created. I would have never used the mail.app as a reader
if I knew Apple was going to do this to us. And it makes you wonder what else Apple is
going to do to screw us loyal customers over. (why would they discontinue a feature, knowing
that it would mean lost data and a headache to their customers?)
does anyone have an automated solution to importing these files into a new reader?

Library only showing one project. ALL others are gone. I exported one folder to external drive and now ALL projects are gone from Aperture library. WHERE ARE THEY? TIA

TS3276 iCloud wrote that my storage was full and that I couldn't save anymore mail. I checked and it is not true at all, but it had already DELETED all my sent messages without further notice. Where are they? Can I retrieve them?

iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update. Where are they and why did this happen?

What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup.

I just plugged my iPhone into my MacBook and all my notes were deleted. I desperately need them, where are they?? Thanks

If your MB isn't the computer you usually sync with, the notes were deleted and not retrievable. Do you backup with iCloud?

I upgraded to Thunderbird 3.6 and lost all my old e-mails. Where are they? I want to keep them.

I lost my old e-mails. I want to keep them and be able to refer to them from time to time. Where are they? It shows their number on the bottom right hand side of the screen, but there is no dropdown or other selection to view them.

Thunderbird support is over here.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Report it to the police. Report it to your wireless service provider. Attempt to use BB Protect to wipe it clean. Outside of that, there is nothing to be done. If your personal issues prevent you from carrying this out, then you must consider all of your data on your BB to be compromised.
Good luck!

Check for Available Downloads... (where are they?)

My daughter has purchased several songs from iTunes using her iPhone and my iTunes account. She never synchs with her Powerbook, so I can't do a Home Share to transfer them to my own, or any of the other computers on our home network. However, according to the iTunes menu, any song bought using our iTunes account should automatically download to my computer. At least that's how I set the preferences.
But it's not working - when I go to the "Check for Available Downloads..." menu it tells me that all my purchases have been downloaded but these new songs are not in my Library. Is iTunes not recognizing that she has purchased them with the same account? (my credit card is certainly being charged using that account) So where are they? How do I get them on our other other computers - and eventually on our respective iPad and iPods?
Any thoughts, instructions or clarifications on how this works, would be appreciated.

Do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for your account on your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can turn it 'on', but that will only take effect from the next purchase.
Depending upon what country that you are in (it's not possible everywhere) then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

Ok, so I think I have found the cause of the problem.
I went to Tools -> Add Ons -> Plug -Ins
Under plug ins I found the zonealarm spy blocker plug in stub
Attached are images of enabled, disabled.
How do I get rid of that space all together, what I mean is, instead of having to choose between a "black space" and a "lego piece space", I want no space.

I upgraded to the new operating system, OS Yosemite. When I open iPhoto, I can't find my pictures that were downloaded over the last two years. Where are they?

I upgraded operating systems and now I can't find my photos in iPhoto. There are only random photos, but I can't find all the other albums I had. Where are they?

Silly question first... when "deleting duplicates", did you delete the picturs or music folders? :}
Are the "Previous system" folders still there? Are the photos/music inside the recent Previous folder?
Have you tried doing a search for the files?
Do you have a new account set up, that you are now signed in to, rather than your old account?
