Another user downloaded apps and now some of my apps and content are missing.  Can I get them back?

My son downloaded apps to my Ipad and when I syched  I lost some apps and content.  Can I get it back?

If he used his own Apple ID that is what probably caused this to happen. It is your decision - but my advice is to use one ID and one ID only on your iPad.
If that is what happened - and If you want to download your apps again - go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - make sure that you are signed into your own account on the iPad. If you are not, sign out and sign in with your ID.
Then go to the App Store, tap on the purchased tab, find the apps that you want to download and download them again.

  • HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000  photos. How can I get them back??

    I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

    Where is your iPhoto library stored? 
    my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
    Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
    If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
    And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library.  Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto.  Then try to migrate again to Photos.
    To repair hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
    But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

    If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

  • I paid for a ringtone and had to restore my phone and now I don't have the ringtone. How can I get that back without having to pay for it again?

    I had to restore my phone and before I did it I bought a ringtone and now I do not have that ringtone. How do I get that back without having to repay for it?

    Call iTunes support and see if they will re-grant it back to you. Shouldn't be a problem, they have done it for quite a few people I know.

  • I upgraded my itunes,but I lost some of my contacts in my iphone.How can I get them back?

    I upgraded itunes,but while synchronizing contacts with outlook I lost some of my new contacts.Is there a way to get them back?Some of them are very imprtant.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

  • Music and videos on my ipod lost after synchronizing...can I get them back?

    First of all, I was looking on another site "answers" about how to copy music on my ipod touch with
    out erasing the current music which are on it...
    I did as instructed to copy them manually.....checked my ipod to see.....
    All the music I copied were there but the original videos, music, pictures have been deleted...info (like pictures videos from another ipod touch were put in place...
    I WANT THE ORIGINAL MUSIC AND VIDEOS ON THIS IPOD BACK BUT I CANT FIND THEM!!
    the music and videos on the ipod were from my cousin's laptop....she's in the Philippines....instead of asking her, can I find a way of getting them back
    or have they been erased?
    PLEASE NO MORE SILLY ANSWERS....

    They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
    Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

  • I had to reload Firefox, but now myI lost my Bookmarks in the process. Can I get them back?

    My version of Firefox was mafunctioning so I uninstalled it and loaded the latest version. Didn't realize that all of my Bookmarks would get wiped out and I never thought to back them up beforehand. Not so smart. It will take hours to replace all of them. Wondering if there is an easy way to get them back, such as doing a system restore on my PC to gain access to my old Firefox version and then backing them up before uninstalling it once again. I have Windows 7 with 64-bit if that makes any difference. Any advice for a novice appreciated.

    Did you remove personal data when you uninstalled Firefox?
    If you did there your bookmarks and other personal data in all profiles folders was removed and is lost.

  • Downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?, downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?

    I downloaded the new software ios5 the other day.  Woke up this morning and all my calendar events are gone!  How do I get everything back??

    Plug in your iPhone. Restore it. If it asks you if you want to back it up say no. When the restoring is done, without plugging in your iPhone, you should get an option to restore your iPhone from a back up or a new iPhone option. Restore it from your back up. It has nothing to do with iCloud but I recommend you set up an iCloud account to avoid loosing stuff like your contacts. And it's free.

  • The passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased, how can i get them back or reset them so when i open them they nolonger ask me por that info like gmail

    Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

    ''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
    Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
    If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
    #Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
    #Your own backups
    #Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
    Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Check these:
    *Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
    *Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
    :On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
    Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
    :type in '''about:support''' into the location bar<br>:Click on "Open containing folder"<br>:You are now in your current profile<br>:go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory<br>:files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
    '''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

    '''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
    When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
    But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
    '''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
    xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

  • HT203167 some of my purchased ringtones have disappeared, how can I get them back?

    I purchased a new iphone 5 yesterday and was able to load all of my files onto it, or at least I thought I had.  This morning I realized some of my purchased ringtones and text tones were missing. Naturally, I figured they would be available for redownloading in the itunes store just like I've done hundreds of times before, but in the purchases area, it says all of my purchases have been downloaded.  I don't think I should have to pay for these ringtones again.  Is there something I'm missing? Is there someone I can complain to from iTunes?  Please help.

    Unfortunately, this is exactly what is supposed to happen. Tones are not part of the Cloud, it is your responsibility to back them up.
    If you are lucky, they may get regranted or something, depending on age etc. Try iTS and see what happens.

  • I restored an iphone on a mac that it hadn't been previously synced with, and then accidentally clicked the sync button and now the music library on my mac is gone - can I get it back?  If so, how do I get it back?

    This is a crazy circumstance of events.  We have an iphone that we use as our office line.  My husband accidentally got his iphone wet so while we were submitting it to be replaced through AT&T insurance plan, I had taken the sim card out of the office iphone and put his sim card into it and he was using it for a couple weeks.  Somewhere on this forum I had found the instructions for doing this and it worked.  He set a passcode on it while he was using it.  Then he got his new replacement iphone and we switched simcards back and was good to go with his newly replaced iphone.  In the meantime the other office iphone had been forwarded to me and we at that time didn't have another person working in the office so the iphone sat off for about 6 weeks maybe.  Of course, during those 6 weeks the passcode, that was set on it, was forgotten - tried a few different things he thought that he'd set it to with no luck.  So I looked up what  needed to be done and how to restore the iphone.  This particular iphone had not been plugged into a computer since having the original sim card put back into it after my husband had used it with his sim card so it wasn't able to get past the not having the correct passcode by just plugging into a computer that it had been synced with.  I restored it.  And this maybe is where I messed up or where maybe the new Iphone/Itunes OS messed up.  I did accidentally check the sync button once the iphone was restored.  I looked at Itunes and realized the music in the library on the computer was gone as well as the playlists.  This is such a bummer because this is the business macbook pro and we run boat charters so all of that music is what is on the boat's ipod and played during the charters.  There are playlists for sunsets, for cloudy days, multiple reggae playlists, etc. totaling 80 different playlists and tons of music - so much hardwork went into making those.  Is there any way to get it all back????  Please help if you can - I'd be ever so grateful.  Thanks.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
