Archived file and have now lost tracks in original

Since I have archived a song I have gone to open it again in my normal file and the vocal tracks aren't there (visually they are, but I can't hear them). Is there a plausible explanation for this, or am I losing my mind? Oh yeah, I did try and send it to another user as a zip file through 'You send It' as well, and that didn't work-said it would take two centuries or thereabouts...........Is it possible that my original file has been corrupted? If so, what can I do about it?

You'll have to tell us:
• How did you "archive" the song? "Save as Archive" in GB, "archive" in the Finder (creating a compressed zip file) or just archived in the sense of "putting it away somewhere"?
• You say the tracks are "visually there" - so you can see the waveforms? Do the track meters show any activity? Does the general meter indicate something?
• Since the waveforms are there, I don't think the files have been corrupted. To make sure, go to your song in the Finder, ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Content". The package should contain a "Media" folder that contains your audio files. DON'T MESS WITH THIS FOLDER, just look inside to see if your recordings are there.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

  • Updated my iPhone 4  to iOS 5 and have now lost all my contacts, messages, photo's etc? HELP!!

    Hi guys,
    I have just updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5 and have lost everything!
    I did a back up prior to the install and have the latest version of iTunes. I completed the install and went to retrieve the back up via a restore, I selected the latest restore, it thinks about it then comes up with the following error message:  "File is corrupt or not compatible with this phone"
    I was also perviously using Mobile Me for instances like this, though my accont has recently expired and I can no longer access it, all my data was stored on there. Annoying!
    Can anyone help? Be a huge help...

    If you made a backup in iTunes before upgrading you can access the data with iPhone / iPod Touch Backup Extractor.
    Can be downloaded from here: http://supercrazyawesome.com/
    This helped me getting my Notes back after the upgrade to iOS 5.

  • HT1414 I wanted to update my operating thing and have now lost everything off my iphone!!!  Help!!!!!

    I have never done this before and understood that I needed to update my operating system - being told I needed to via apps.  I plugged my iphone in and now it is saying it needs to be restored to factory settings.  Have I lost all my photos and videos!! 

    Apple store can't do anything about it.
    with itune open go to edit - preference - devices - and see if there is any backups.
    If not, then sorry you lost everything.

  • I have setup sync on my desktop and have now lost 30%of my tabs. How do I get them back using Sync?

    I am using win7 on a desktop and have upgraded to the latest firefox. Approx 30% of my previously saved tabs now come up as "New Tab" with no URL in the address field.
    Previously I had setup a sync account.
    How do I access that sync account in order to restore my missing tabs?
    Thank you

    Hi kamcop68,
    If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Accidentally restore old profile and have now lost emails and settings; where can I find them?

    Whilst trying to save a profile, I accidentally restored an old one. Now I cannot access the emails and settings. Are they stored somewhere, or completely deleted when restoring a profile?

    When you replace one file with another, what usually happens when an old profile is restored (especially when the accounts are the same). Then you have replaced your mail with another version. You olny option are your personal backups, Thunderbird does not store any information in "the cloud"

  • I recently installed your ios7 0.3 and have now lost all sounds - is this normal ?????

    I have recently installed ios7 0.3 in my mini ipad and now find that I have lost all sounds - is this normal ?????

    No it's not normal. Try a reset, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • Help! Just updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 and have now lost 90% of my music!

    I updated my Ipad2 to IOS5 by linking up to my itunes on my Windows pc. It appears that all music I'd uploaded to itunes from CD's over the years has gone, all purchased items are still there though.
    I've lost about 10,000 tracks - is there any way I can retrieve these? I've tried to restore from a previous backup but all the files have disappeared from previous itunes libraries too!
    HELP!

    The tracks are showing in iTunes on my pc but won't play - it says it can't locate the file. When I check in my system iTunes folder, none of the cd import files are there.
    Have tried syncing to iPad again but only purchased tracks will sync. I get an error message which says 100+ songs could not sync as file cannot be found?
    Any ideas? I'm stumped!

  • My screen has gone blank and have now lost all my contacts

    My screen on my torch 9800 has gone blank. I then plugged the device into the computer to see whether there was any downloads that would help but was told that the phone had never been synced when it had. The result meaning I have lost my contacts, etc. Please help????!!!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First things first...your data...everything else is IMHO secondary.
    When you say you have synced your BB, how exactly have you done that in the past?
    True synchronization with, for example, Outlook? If so, then please check Outlook (or whatever other PC Organizer app you are using) to be sure you still have all of your data...and, to be safe, copy all of your contacts and calendar to a safe PST just in case.
    On the other hand, if by "synced", you mean backed up, then look on your PC for IPD files...those would be the files that store your data as of the date/time you took that backup...and they remain there, available for restore if needed.
    So, please clarify your situation concerning your data before we proceed with any device diagnostics...the data is much more important than the device, and I want to be sure your data is safe before we attempt anything with the device.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • I synched my iphone to 2 laptops and have now lost all the music purchased by my wife in our itunes library, how do i get this back and restore it to both our iphones?

    I have recently upgraded my iphone 4 software and thought I'd backed up all my stuff. When I restored the settings only 73 out of 895 songs were downloaded to my Itunes library. I then went on my other laptop with all the old stuff on and tried to synch them. This led to all the music in this itunes library being wiped except for the 73 on my phone.
    HOW DO I GET MY MUSIC BACK!!!
    I share my music with my wife and we both purchase using different id's but have not had problems before in downloading to our phones. She is now a little peeved with me and any help would be very gratefully received and make my life alot easier

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

    I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".
