All apps gone after forced restart of iPad

Hello,
I was just developing a bit with my iPad and after the debugger got hang I had to restart my iPad by holding down the home button and the lock button for some seconds.
After the iPad was booted up again, i noticed that all apps (expect the built in ones) where gone!!!
Unfortionatly my last iTunes backup was a long time ago (I know... i should have done it more often...)
But when I look at iTunes I can see a lot of "Other" space used (more that 10GB) so I think this is probably the space used by my apps...
It would just be really uncool, because I was for example using it a lot for taking notes (Noteshelf) and that would all be gone...
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks a lot

This did not help
I tried to backup some of my files with PhoneView and iExplorer but could not find anything... But iTunes shows me that there is a lot of space used for "other stuff"...
Any chance I can restore my files... I really want to have my Noteshelf drawings back!!!

Preferences/Settings gone after forced restart

First, let me say that I have very little free space on my hard drive. I was attempting to remedy that by getting rid of some old files when I tried to shut down my computer. It froze. I did a force shut down. When I rebooted it appears my preferences files were deleted or corrupted or something.
My stickiesw were deleted.
My dock reverted to its original size and applications.
My Firefox favorites were gone as were my tab preferences, etc.
Mail is fine, iCal is fine. Most of the other applications that I use regularly seem to have everything in order.
The temporary file that hosts my Firefox bookmarks is still physically on my computer. Nothing appears to have been deleted but the settings.
Now, it's probably a 10 minute job to get everything back to normal, but I'm wondering if there's a way to restore my system without having to do so manually. I'm also particularly concerned with the content of the stickies (which is the only location I have of a rather important phone number).
Also, I swear never to let my hard drive get so full (I know it's bad, I know. 10% from now on. Mea culpa)... and be more judicious with my forced restarts. Scout's honor.

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou

There are a couple of things you can try to resolve this issue.
The first would be to restart and/or reset the iPhone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Next, perform a Spotlight Search for one or more of your apps to see if they may be been moved to one of the other 5 home screens.

SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings

Hello All
SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings back .
I donot know what is SID ( System ID ), Instance etc.
If this is not relevant to this forum plz let me know which forum ....
Regards
Rohit

Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

Apps gone after update

Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update. Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.

In the Advanced tab of iTunes' Preferences what is the time and date of the backup you used for the restore? It sounds like you have a backup that does not contain your dat and such. It may be that when you were having trouble updating a backup was made. Looking at the date might provide some information.

How to prevent the Firefox cache from clearing -- all settings are right, but the cache is gone after each restart.

I want to prevent cache from being deleted after each restart. "Clear history when Firefox closes" is unchecked. User.js files are deleted. Checking "Override automatic cache management" made Cache folder appear in addition to Cache2. After exiting Cache is still there, but upon Firefox re-launching, Cache turns into Cache.Trash and promptly disappears. What to do?

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that. Can you please try these solution to address your concern.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Photo in iPhoto Library Corrupted after forced Restart

Hi,
I'm a switcher. I've decided to switch to mac after contemplating for almost 6 months. I'm glad I've switched, the Mac is an excellent machine and Superb OS!!
Recently, I have encountered a problem while using iPhoto, Photoshop Element 2 and Preview together. (Please note that I did not tempered any files in iPhoto library. I have stored all my photo in My Documents which I do my editing using PSE 2 and Preview a pictures stored on the desktop). While dragging a file from My Document folder to the Trash, the Dock hanged! I quit all the apps and the dock is not responding and I decided to relaunch Finder by going to Force Quit and still no respond. I try restart the system but it hanged and I have to switch off the mac by pressing the button. When I re-sart the system and launch iPhoto, it prompted that "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto" and I can't start iPhoto at all. It seems that some of my photo in the library are corrupted. Has anybody has the same experience? Would appreciate if anybody can help.
I've been playing my iMac for about 1.5 months already, and the only apps that I'm not comfortable is iPhoto. I've been using Picasa 2 on my Dell notebook to organize my photo and it's much more simpler and user friendly as compare to iPhoto.

Jonathan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions and the Mac community. First, what I do whenever I have to have a forced restart of my Mac or have a kernel panic (dark gray curtain descends over the screen with a multiple language warning) is to immediately boot into single user mode and run the file system check (fsck). Here's how:
FSCK - File System Check
To start up in single-user mode
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold both the Command (Apple) and "s" keys on your keyboard. The computer will display a series of text messages, at which time you may release these keys.
When the computer has started up, it will display a command line prompt (#). The computer is now in single-user mode.
How to Run the File System Check from the Command Line
Once you have reached a command line, follow these steps to use fsck:
1. At the prompt, type: fsck -fy (NOTE, there is a space between the k and the -)
The fsck utility will go through five "phases" and then return information about the disk's utilization and fragmentation. Once the check is finished, if no issue is found, you should see "** The volume <name of volume> appears to be OK."
If fsck alters, repairs, or fixes anything, it will display the message:
**** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
IMPORTANT: If this message appears, repeat the "fsck -fy" command until this message no longer appears. It is not unusual for your computer to require several "passes" of fsck, because first-pass repairs may uncover additional errors. Run it until you get two consecutive times with an "OK" result.
3. When fsck reports that no problems were found, type: reboot
4. Press Return.
Now to your problem. It's more than likely that, as you expected, you have a damaged dB file in your iPhoto library folder and I doubt you'll be able to recover but we'll give it our best shot.
First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions (also recommended after any software installation or update). Make a backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder (select and type Command-D). Now launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. I would only select the option to rebuild the database.
If that brings it back you're on you way and can delete the backup library folder. If not and the rebuilt library is more messed up than the original, delete it.
Your best shot now is to launch iPhoto and when it asks to find a library or create a new one select Create. In the File menu select the Add to Library option. Direct iPhoto to your old iPhoto Library folder and select it for importing. That should get your photos back partially organized but don't know how much. You will lose album, keyword and comment information.

Secondary internal hard drive disappeared from desktop after forced restart

I have three internal hard drives, one for system, the other two for data storage. While permorming a search on one of the data drives i clicked the "X" to the right of the spinning wheel on the bottom right of the search window to stop the search but the computer froze (wheel kept spinning). I then went through the dock and quit all applications, except for InDesign which wasn't responding to force quit.
The only way out was a force restart. Upon restart, one of the internal data hard drives did not show up on the desktop, nor after a couple more restarts, nor after restarting from the installation disk, verifying and repairing disks and permissions on the other hard drives with disk utility.
where did it go?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Dual 1.25 GHz, 2MB L3 cache each, 2GB DDR SDRAM

no it doesn't show up at all in those either.
Hmm. Then that sounds like the interface to the drive isn't even talking. You could try opening up the computer and making sure the cables are all connected firmly (of course, it should be off).
here's the log:
Nothing here looks too alarming.

Unfortunately, I don't see anything helpful here. It's just like it disappeared (or never existed) as far as the OS is concerned. If you can find your original disks that came with the computer, you could try running the hardware test and see if it kicks up any errors, either with a drive or a drive controller on the motherboard.

All apps crashing on both iphone and ipad

Hi,
For about the last 2-3 weeks I have been experiencing an issue where all apps are crashing on my ipad 2 - initially I thought it may be a hardware problem, but the problem after a few days started to occur on my iphone 4 as well. So methinks it can't be a hardware problem.
Both ipad and iphone are running the latest version of ios 6.1.3 - I have reset the ipad and restored a backup, but still occurring.
I am either thinking it is an app running on both the ipad and iphone that is causing the problem (though I did uninstall any recently installed apps) or a problem with iCloud and the syncing of devices.
Typical behaviour - midway through typing a text message app crashes, if I don't kill off in task manager app will crash straightaway or within 20 secs of relaunching, if I do kill off the app I may be lucky and get 5 mins before it crashes - screen goes black briefly before going back to home screen. Text I am midway through typing is gone when I go back into Messages.
The above happens in pretty much all apps - games, safari, spotify, fliboard - though hasn't cut out any phone calls.
Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so how did you resolve?
Thanks,
Simon

Just to add I have gone through the steps of killing off all the apps that running - problem occurs if there is only one app running, also have rstarted numerous times on both devices by holding down home screen button + power to reset. If I look in the diadnotic logs seem to be a lot with low memory, but if I don't have anything running can't believe this is the case!

Apps gone after Upgrade to IOS 5.0.1

Hello,
I upgraded my IPad today and all Apps (purchased and free) are now gone.
I didn't do a synchronization with my Computer before, so I can't load them via ITunes.
I already tried it with the App-Store on my iPad, but after choosing "purchased" a note informed me that there are no App for download available.
Is there another way or do I have to buy them all again?
Can anyone help me?

There is a reason why synchronization is recommended.

I'm confused. Exactly where did you choose "purchased?" You should be able to download the apps again without being charged. Just pretend that you're buying them.
