All my downloads have been erased or eliminated. How?

Went online to retrieve a download and the entire download list was gone. I did not clear the list where did it go and can I retrieve it?

Maybe you have some cleaning utility that has cleared it. Or did you inadvertantly clear it yourself
* [[Remove recent browsing, search and download history]]
Possibly the files are still there but not the listing. Try searching for the files by name or date using Windows XP search. That is easiest of course if you remember what your set or default download location is.

* and [[Use the Downloads window to manage downloaded files]]

My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen?

My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen? I thought I was 100% secure with Icloud but it does not seem the case! Now I have contacts retrieved form my email accounts but nothing from icloud!
Please help!

Well with the contacts, if you had back up assistant or google back up then you may be able to retrieve them.If not then they are gone for good. Withe the message you ae getting about the space, since you cleared everything out and still get that message you might or actually need to do afactory reset thru settings. So make sure the apps you want are saved on your card or just do the reset and redownload the apps

TS1424 Just downloaded a rental movie to my mac in SD... chose watch later ...15 min later....cannot find anywhere on this computer itunes says all available downloads have been downloaded why is this so @#$%%^ difficult!

just downloaded a rental movie and can't locate it anywhere in itunes downloads never use to be this hard not reallu worth it but would still like to watch my movie.My account info says all purchases have been downloaded.. hmmm wbere is my movie?

This is bad - I have an Apple automated response that they got my report on 12/6, 12/10 and 12/14, and I haven't heard anything from them since the 6th when I got one reply that told me to do things I tried before reporting the problem. Between the 6th and 10th I replied to their response 4 times and they ignored me, forcing me to report a problem with two more items that wont download but getting no response.
How do they get away with this kind of behavior, especially for someone with FIVE Core 2 Duo macs and thousands of dollars of of iTunes store purchases? I'm getting really ******.

All ipod files have been converted to "other" how do i fix w/out restoring

all of my music and video, and other files in general have been converted to "other" when my ipod was unfortunately ripped from my computer and it now says i have 0 music,0 playlists, and 0 videos. everything is listed as "other" and I cannot reach anything else. my real problem is that I don't want to Restore my Ipod. Restoring my ipod is my absolute last choice. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how i could get my music back without restoring my ipod because i don't have all of my music and videos on my computer any longer and it would be and extremely hard task getting everything that was in the library back considering size and how i don't sync because i need everything perfectly organized. any advice or help would be awesome. thanks.

Have a look at these instructions for recovering music from your iPod.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it relies on the iPod database being accessible.
It may well be that that database is corrupt (hence all the music being unable to be read by the iPod and showing as other), and in that case a restore is your only option.
how i don't sync because i need everything perfectly organized.
I'm not clear as to what you mean by that. Surely if you want everything "perfectly organized" then auto syncing your iPod to your iTunes library is the way to go since that would give you a mirror image of your iTunes on your iPod.
By the sound of it you don't have all these music and videos etc in your iTunes library (or a back up anyplace else). Now you can see why that's a bad idea.
If you had a back up, you could simply restore the iPod and reload the content.

My iphone has been stolen so i went to icloud and did the remote wipe/erase. but it says offline pending erase. how will i know when my pictures and all other data have been erased?

help
my iphone has been stolen i did the auto erase online but my phone is offline pending erase i cant bare to think someone has acces to my phots and pictures. how will i know when the erase has been succesful

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

I synced my mum's iPhone 3G for the first time tonight and all her contacts have been erased.

I have a MacBook and I synced her iPhone 3G to transfer the contacts to the Mac, but after the phone was finished syncing I went to Address Book and I could only find the contacts from my iPhone 4. I can't find mum's contacts anywhere on my Mac, and they're gone from her phone.
Does anyone know if there's any way I can get the contacts back on to either the Mac or the iPhone? I've never really used Address Book much and I know there's some sort of problem syncing the 3Gs... Please help!! :'(
Thanks
Sasha

Ouch, loosing data is never fun. Sad to say the contacts are gone from the phone and can't be recovered there.
iOS devices are currently designed to have their data managed by one computer. Connecting to another computer and syncing it takes ownership. Thus, overwriting the data. You need to have it connected back up to the her computer to get the data back.
If there are contacts on her phone that she wishes to share with you, then share them individually from her Contacts on her phone, or export them from her iCal (if using a Mac OS system).
I am using a white iPhone 3G and have never had issues syncing, nor heard of that being an issue.

I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

I supsect you did the update on other than your syncing computer. If yu did the app, music and synced photo will not be on the iPod after the update since those items are not in the backup that iTunes makes. See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
The above applies to all updates performedvia USB on a computer. To get stuff back, restore from backup on the syncing computer.
The above in my educated guess since you provided litle information about how you did the update.
You can redownload many iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

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.

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

My documents and pictures have been erased from one day to the next

I've closed my macbook pro last thursday without shutting down, the next day when opening again all my documents and pictures have been erased from my files. I cannot find them anywhere, and they are also not in the recycle bin. Has anybody else had this problem recently and does anybody know how I can recover my files? All my pictures from my little son birth from last year until now are gone!

Have you checked with your email provider?
