All isn't lost, but a ton of the important stuff is...
I pair my iPhone 4S to my PC. All was fine until recent updates to iTunes and/or my phone. After updates, this sync caused a substantial amount of info in Outlook to be deleted, and similarly deleted/altered on the phone. Cell phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses missing. Multiple duplications created, less the important pieces...
Can I get it back? I'm livid over this!
You are in recovery mode. Restore it through iTunes on your computer.

When I go to purchase anything something pops up asking me to confirm my billing information. It's all written in correctly but it insists that the security code is incorrect.
Please helpIs the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password. -
I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.
That WON'T convert it.
If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V. -
I got all my music from iTunes and when I play a track it doesn't play. I just got this new iPod so why isn't it playing my music
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete music from iPod and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Moving All The Important Stuff to a New User Account. What to take?
It's been quite an eventful week and, because I can't turn %%$$! FileVault off on my original user account, I've just decided to move over to my back up account. "Brian" now has Admin abilities but I was wondering about the process of getting Brian to look/feel just like my original, now f'ed up account. Is it just about putting the Preferences file folder onto an ext. HD and putting it into the new account's Library? (I've managed to screw things up REAL BAD messing about with my Preferences Folder. I really don't want to go through that again!)
Anyway, anything else beside the above folder? I've got all my music and photos/movies already on the Ext. HD. I'm so mad at the Brianhardy account, I really look forward to deleting it. (No, that doesn't make any sense...)
Finally, how do I pick a better picture for brian for the users window? Nothing against dogs but.......
Thanks.
BrianHi Brian
I went through what you are currently describing for the same reason as yours: disabling FileVault. Let me give you a few suggestions.
First of all, what I did is I actually went through all the files in the Preferences folder, to choose the ones I really wanted to move to the new account. There were so many obsolete preference files in there remaining from uninstalled apps that it was worth seriously cleaning up this folder.
Second, the Preferences folder is probably not the only folder in your Library you want to migrate. I'll give you a list of the stuff I migrated, but some of if might not apply to you.
My address book. It was corrupted, so I ended up exporting all the contacts, group by group, and importing them into the fresh, new address book on the new account. But you might not have to go through this trouble.
My calendars. I am a .Mac subscriber, so I synced over .Mac between the two accounts. (Be careful, it is a bit more tricky than it sounds). Same for all the stuff that can be synced (see the .Mac preference pane): Safari bookmarks, email accounts and rules, keychain... For some reason the keychain sync did not work, so I had to do the same export-import procedure as for my address book, except I had to give my password for every item in the keychain... :S I can type my password pretty fast, now :P
/Library/Application Support/iWeb if you use iWeb to create websites, which I don't recommend, after fighting with it for quite a while (but I haven't tried iLife'08 yet). More generally, you should have a look into this Application Support folder to see if anything in there is worth migrating.
/Library/Mail
/Library/Sounds because I had put lots of custom sounds in there that I can use for iCal alarms
/Library/Widgets
By the way, after migrating to this new user, I decided NOT to make it an admin, and to create a second new user with admin rights. I read this makes your mac more secure. Whenever you do something that requires admin rights, you enter the username and password of this admin user.
I also kept the old user for a while, just in case I realize later that there is something I forgot to migrate (which happened a couple of times). I just deleted it a few days ago.
Changing a user's picture can be done in the Accounts preference pane in the System preferences.
Good luck -
Sync has lost some of my bookmarks (the important ones)
My worst nightmare! Your sync account. Lost my important bookmarks. After I unpaired the device, deleted a bookmark directory and guess what. It also disappeared on my main computer. Now I want it back but can't access the sync account. Don't dare to pair any f..... device but seems I have to to try and at least get that important directory back.
First, copy your bookmark backups to a safe location since they gradually age out. Do this on both computers just in case.
This will open your active Firefox settings (profile) folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder"
Look for the bookmarkbackups folder. It should contain numerous dated files with a .json extension.
Copy those to a safe location (e.g, copy the entire folder to the desktop).
You can restore any of those backups, but please note that they will completely replace whatever bookmarks you currently have on your menu.
To restore backups, see this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-up-bookmarks-or-move-them-to-another-computer#w_restoring-from-backups
You might need to go back a few days until you find the ones you're missing.
If you want to save your current bookmarks in an alternate format so you can restore them as a separate folder and salvage individual items, check out this feature: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] and [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]].
Can you get everything back? -
So on Deer Hunter 2014 I had all my data but before that I changed my apple id email so I deleted my old icloud and logged in again. So after that I deleted Deer Hunter 2014 for some temporary space and then redownloaded it again, all my data was gone and I was back to the beggining but before this incident I backed up my Ipad on itunes on my pc. Can I use this backup to restore my data to that point in time if not is there a way I can (I did not purchase anything in the game so I cant restore purchases).
Thanks in advancedIts solved I just restored it to that point

All user settings lost but UID/PW logs user in OK!
First time poster, new to Mac’s, not computer illiterate…
Hope that covered it all! Proficient in Windows XP but we made the switch, now having some challenges! My wife and I are both “Administrators” and 2 profiles exist on the computer. My wife logged in yesterday and her ID/Password logged her in. Other than that, for her profile, everything went back to factory defaults. Her Mail settings were gone, her iPhoto library still exists on the disk but the library doesn’t load, when safari loads, it indicates that “favorites cannot be saved”, the menu at the bottom of her screen doesn’t do the stretch scroll as you wave past the bottom of the screen.
It appears as though her UID exists, the data (example the actual digital photo’s) still exist on the disk however they’ve been disassociated with iPhoto. This appears to be the case for all apps.
Any thoughts on how to tackle this? I am posting in the Tiger forum as this problem is all related to one common theme. I suspect that there’s 1 solution that can be applied to resolve all these apps.
Bring on the suggestions!
Thanks,
Brent
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Did she rename her home folder (the little house icon)? That can cause this problem. If so, have a look at this page for a fix.

I downloaded the latest version of Itunes. After the game was downloaded, all my music was lost. How do I recover my music?
I am confused. Did you update the iTunes on your computer? You download the game to your computer? Of this all done with your computer and itunes you do not have a iPod problem and posting in the iTunes forum is more appropriate.

iPad 1 connects to iTunes and displays in the left column. All elements on iPad displayed. However, it will not sync. Displays message that the iPad is not connected. This is a new issue. Used to work fine. All iTines and iPad software up to date. Ran HELP diagnotsic in iTunes with iPad connected - no issues noted. Attempted soft reboot of iPad. No help.
Issue hopefully resolved. Required Apple store to delete all info from iPad and reinstall operating system. Had to reload all data, but it seems to be working fine. Cause unknown.

I do not really understand what you are doing to get them from the iPod to the computer.
First import them to the computer by:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
The sync them to the the other device -

Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again. -
