"all files have been deleted..."

i noticed the other day that a good chunk of my songs were not playing properly. at random moments during songs a half second of another song would interrupt the current song and then skip forward one song. i thought i'd restore my ipod and reload all the songs again. now my computer is having trouble recognizing the ipod. i can only restore the ipod if the computer has been off for x amount of hours. once i restore the ipod and then try to transfer my library i get a warning that says that its having problems saving all the files to the ipod and that all files have been deleted. it will only save the first two songs of the library. if i try to play the second song the ipod freezes up. if i try to restore the ipod again the computer will not recognize it unless i turn off the computer and wait. i've tried resetting the ipod while still connected to the computer but to no avail. i've tried this numerous times. hopefully someone out there can help.

CarlaR2010,
I take it that your mum has not made a habit of making regular backups to an external disk?
There are data recovery services that can often recover deleted files; however, their services are quite expensive. To maximize the chance of recovery, have your mum do a shut down from the Apple menu and don’t use the MacBook Pro again until you’ve chosen a data recovery service, given them your MacBook Pro, and have received it back from them.

How do i get rid of old files previously networked to Distributed Sytem Manager so as to create a new network file, all files have been deleted off my laptop already?

6 old network files keep showing up in Labview even though they have been deleted from both labview and removed from my laptop. Why does labview insist on keeping them in this history as now it will not allow me to network a new file
All help appreciated.

Got this issue resolved, basicaly what was happening was in the distributed system manager old copys of libraries which I had created previously and deleted kept showing up in my networked items and i could not delete them, what i had to do was to stop process and remove process on any that were showing up then reboot my laptop and this deleted them off the system altogether, this was time consuming for me as I had a load of old libraries to delete before i could network my new library. Eventually got it working after my laptop reboots.

Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
Thanks,
regan101

yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB. Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB. Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

It might be caused by storage "buffering". If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

I have an error 42404 message. I have uninstalled Itunes,quick time, etc, etc. I then checked to make sure that all files had been deleted. I have 2 files that haven't been deleted and are still not. It will not allow me to delete them access denied.

I received an error 42404 message. I have uninstalled itunes, quick time, etc, etc. I then went to check that all the files had been deleted, however,
Program files\common files\Apple - will not delete - it says folder access denied
program files (x86)\common files\Apple - will note delete - it says require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
How can I delete these 2 files so that I can reinstal Itunes?

You can uninstall the relevant extensions from Tools>Addons to remove those toolbars. Also there may be some unwanted plugins which you may want to disable. This should solve your problems.
If you still want a clean profile, uninstall firefox with the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" checkbox enabled. Alternatively you may remove your firefox profile folder which (on Window7) is stored in C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder with a randomly name. You may delete this folder before installing a new version to get a clean profile.

How do i restore back my purchased movies if the files have been deleted

for some reason the files for the movies I've purchased have been deleted is there any way of getting them back, since I purchased quite a few movies and I don't want to be paying for them again?

Restore them from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload them through the iCloud if doing so is free in your country.

Apple took in my Macbook for repair, but all my files have been deleted? How do I get the data back?

So, I gave my macbook to apple for a system repair, due to a short circuit in my laptop, but all my previous settings and data have all been deleted. I recently just got this computer this september, so I have not purchased an external hard drive to back up my data, but I wanted to know if there is any way to restore all the lost data?

It is extremely likely that Apple had to restore everything to the way it was originally when you purchased the Mac in order to repair.
Since you decided not to purchase the external drive for the backup, all of your data is now lost.
Maybe now that you have lost all your data, you might reconsider the necessity to backup in the future to prevent this from happening again.

IPhoto disk space full - but all photos have been deleted

Several days ago I transferred all photos/videos from iPhoto to an external hard drive. I deleted everything in iPhoto, emptied the iPhoto trash.
However, when I attempt to store a photo in the "empty" iPhoto, this message comes up:
"The disk containing your iPhoto library is running low on space."
I've explored the issue via Google and the Apple communities, and the only possible factor could have been that there were photos stored in my iPhone cache. Tracked it down, but nope - it is empty.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash
These are *exactly* the issues I was having, and which prompted me to move files over to an EHD. Watching the little colored wheel spin was agonizing...
The iPhoto Library will be in your Pictures Folder. Drag that to the trash and empty it.
Found it! Mac is now in the process of deleting 4,182 photos.
You've been very helpful - I've learned things that will help me down the road.
Many, many thanks.

All sms have been deleted on N97. Can i get them b...

How do you backup text messages (SMS) to prevent this in the future?
All my 569 sms have now been deleted when I switched off the phone and turned it on again. What a **bleep** telephone!!!

You can connect the phone to the PC and run either PC Suite or Ovi Suite. The former lets you export messages in Nokia or standard .csv format, I don't know what the latter uses but it will let you do it.
Have you checked that the message memory hasn't switched from Mass Memory to Phone Memory or vice versa? Doing that would make it seem that your messages were AWOL.

I have adobe 3:2 starter and all photos have been deleted but still have thumbnails, can i restore photos

please can some one help me to restore my photos from my thumbnails due to my son deleting my photo file where i used to keep them

Boy, I wish Adobe had a special OOPS! folder for all of us who accidentally deleted photos. I lost 5 photos. I deleted them from Adobe after I moved them to their own special folder in My Documents, but they're not there. I've been trying to recover them for the past few days using data recovery programs like iUndelete and iRescue, but no luck.
Is Photo Well the same thing as thumbnails? I've read where some people who have lost their photos still are able to view them as thumbnails, but if it's the same thing as Photo Well, mine don't show up there, either. I can't remember if I chose "delete from hard disk" but I must have, because I've searched my computer and can't find them.
QUESTION: By any chance are deleted photos assigned a different name than the original photos? Maybe I've been searching for the wrong files all along???? Ugh, I'm about to give up, but does anyone know anywhere else I can look? I've already emptied my Recycle Bin. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

HT5885 My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed now all photos have been deleted

My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed and read that it "needed to re-build" I let it do so, and mid way "re-building" it failed and all of my photos vanished. They are not in any other files, but seems like they are completely deleted can anyone help me.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what makes you think they are deleted?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Some files have been deleted

I have noticed some of my files are missing and I want them. When I want to delete text I select or highlight and then choose "delete". Before deletion is complete it asked me "archive deleted events on next hotsync" Where do they go and can I look at them and repaste themback in current files?
Post relates to: Palm TX

If you highlight text and tap the Delete button, what you're doing is deleting the whole note rather than just deleting the highlighted portion. If what you want to do is to simply edit this text instead of deleting the whole note, just backspace (using your stylus and Graffiti) over the highlighted text.
I've never done it (never had to, I guess) if you did "archive" the data and Hotsync saved it, you can try opening Contacts in the Palm Desktop, and selecting either Open Archive or Import, from the File menu.

What files have been deleted?

Does TM highlight or some how let you know what are the deleted files from that specific point in time? As I go through each layer of TM. How do I know what the deltas are between each, if any?

TM Browser lets you browse and search for data items. It does not provide any insights to the differences between hourly snapshots, rolled-up daily backups or rolled-up weekly backups.
Any insight is obtained by you by comparing each 'delta'.
If you have a specific suggestion about this I recommend you send Apple feedback with as much deatils as you can provide.

Most of my iCloud drive files have been deleted

This morning I was unable to find most of my school work on iCloud Drive. All the folders are there, but most of the files are missing. I can't find any files on my Macbook nor iPad.
I think I can narrow the time of the disappearance down to a 20 minute window by looking at when the files disappeared from /Volumes/MobileBackups, but the files in the directories before the disappearance are all not quite there (ls says "No such file or directory")
To add to the disaster, it seems Time Machine has been silently failing for a month now. It looks like Time Machine stopped working at about the time I moved my school files over to iCloud.
I had no indication of anything going wrong or any errors.
Is it possible for Apple to recover the files that were in my iCloud as of this morning?

Not sure if it's significant, but all the folders are still there, just mostly empty

Why my muse files have been deleted?

It seems my muse files arent in my hard drive i stored them..what happened could adobe have removed them?

Hi,
Adobe or Muse can't delete files from your hard drive. We don't have access to the files saved on your computer.
Regards,
Aish
