Cannot get librsry back after computer crash

I had to reload all my software after having a virus and after reinstalling itunes, I cannot get my entire library back on my laptop.  Any help on how to get all my digital copy movies back would be much appreciated.  These were all in my library before.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by digital copy movies please.

  • Getting music back after computer goes down.

    The hard drive went out on my computer. I have a new one now. How do I get all my Itunes (including the ones not purchased at Itunes) music files back?

    If the hard drive itself is mechanically dead (not just Windows or the computer making it appear dead) and your not willing to spend over $2000 at a platter level recovery service, then your out of luck basically, you should have made backups of your music.
    If you have a iDevice, (iPod etc) there is third party software that can recover the files off of it and onto your new computer, regardless of the source of the music..
    You'll have to ask at iLounge because we can't recommned software that can be used to violate copyrights here.
    If your hard drive itself is not mechanically dead, you really dont know this unless you pull it out of the computer and use a enclosure or a IDE/SATA to USB adatapor cable to hook it up to another Windows PC, there are ways to recover the files.
    So is the hard drive really DEAD DEAD? or is the comptuer not booting from the hard drive because Windows or the computer is fscked for other reasons (malware, dead power supply etc.)
    Because if the hard drive works, I can post how to recover the files from a dead PC.

  • I cannot reinstall creative cloud after computer crash

    I joined CC yesterday and was able to install photoshop etc.  However, I lost all communication with external drives.  I restored my computer to an earlier time.
    Now, external hard drives work.  However, I cannot photoshop does not.  Much of the program is still present but not the .exe file.
    I cannot find the creative cloud application.  I have downloaded it again but the reinstall stops a few seconds after it starts.
    So, I have lost creative cloud and photoshop and cannot recover them.
    Please advise

  • Getting settings back after OS crash... new admin & old user

    I'm just recovering from an OS crash that took a while to resolve.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1647853&tstart=0
    Now I have a new administrator account with a blank desktop and I can see my old user account in Finder/Users, but I don't see it in System Prefs/Accounts. Reading up on this, I understand I need to do some renaming to recover my settings for Safari, Mail, etc.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1876?viewlocale=en_US

    I'm not clear on what to rename though. Do I want to rename the new administrator account with the old user name or rename the old user name with the new admin name?

    I suggest you create a backup administrator id on the system that you are changing!!!

    This procedure seems correct as far as to go. The author assumes that the GUID and UID are the same. You need to verify this.

    I am not sure this procedure is what you need.
    I'm not clear on what to rename though. Do I want to rename the new administrator account with the old user name or rename the old user name with the new admin name?
    There seems to be two ways to proceed.
    Assigned your old administrator data to your new administrator. To do this, you would rename your new administrator directory to something else then rename your old administrator directory to what ever you selected for the new administrator directory name. You would then verify the Group ID and the user ID.
    Or, renamed your old administrator directory. Create a new administrator with the same names as your old administrator was. You can either follow the steps above or copy the data from the old directory to the new with the Finder. Hold down the option key in the Finder to be sure that you are copying the data.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824
    This is tricky stuff.
    You need to change these things:
    1) Your account information
    2) All of your files & folders
    One way to change what uid and gid are defined for your account is theNetInfo Manager application. This doesn't change the UID & GID on your files and folders.
    Mac OS X ... harddrive -> Applications -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager
    In the middle column is the function. Pick users then select your user. Click on the lock at the bottom of the panel. Go into the property list and change UID and GID."
    sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464 {} \;
    sudo find -x / -group 20 -exec chgrp 211 {} \;
    #combined change of uid & gid
    sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464:211 {} \;
    There are two generally used schemes for assigning a group to a user:
    1) Assign all users to a common group like staff.
    2) Assign each user to their own group. A user like test would be in group test.
    Mac OS uses method 1 in 10.2 and method 2 in 10.4.
    You should not have multiple users assigned to the same uid. My worry is that if you are only change in the 50x range, you could run into a conflict.
    Your best bet is to change to a high number like 5464 on all of your accounts.
    On Mac OS, there are a few files that have the old uid as part of their names. The .Trashes file will be on your removal media and maybe everywhere.
    /.Trashes/501
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.501
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.sbdl.501
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.user501pictureCache.tiff
    Here are some terminal commands:
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    cd /Applications
    Your current user is:
    echo $USER
    Let's assume myuser
    To find out your UID and GID do:
    cd ~
    ls -ln
    ls -l
    Or, you can use the id command.
    id
    compare the output and write down what you find.
    You best use the numeric value for your userid. In this case it is 500. To list all the files owned by a userid do:
    sudo find / -user 500 -exec ls {} \;
    #And you need to do this from an administrator id.
    /* adding a -x before the / limits the search to the current file system. *
    # To stop the display press control-c
    sudo find -x / -user 501 -exec chown 5464 {} \;
    #And you need to do this from an administrator id.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • After sync my music disappeared. Now I cannot get music back on phone!! I have one song on my ipod even though I synch with my playlists selected.

    After sync my music disappeared. Now I cannot get music back on phone.  I selected playlists and triedeven loading allmusic.I have one song on my phone and cannot load any music back on it. Is there a setting I may have selected that needs to be changed???

    Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

    please someone help

    Hi Glenn,
    You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
    Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
    Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

    I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • How deactivate Web premium CS4 when I can't get into my old computer (crashed)?

    Hi,
    At Adobe's website it says:
    "What happens if my computer is stolen or damaged and cannot be repaired?
    If your computer is stolen, damaged beyond repair or the hard drive is completely re-imaged, the activation will be lost. In either case you can install and start using the Adobe product on your new computer, which will automatically detect the problem if you already had two computers activated. The activation process will guide you through the new activation, even if the prior computer is no longer available."
    My computer has crashed but Adobe has not detected this, so I can't install my program on my new computer. What do I do?
    Thank you for answering! :-)

  • Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    Can I get music back after formating cpu?

    If the music was RIP'd from CD, then the fastest way is to restore from your backup.
    Since it sounds like you did not have a backup, you will need to reRIP them from your CDs. Nothing else you can do.
    iTunes purchases you can redownload. Open iTunes, go to the store, click on Purchases on the right side under Quick links.
    Then tell the tech who formatted it for you without making a backup or making sure teat YOU made a backup that his rear end has a vacancy sign and your foot is looking for a place to rent.
    and you should make a backup right now of your computer and update teh backup after you RIP all the CDs.
    And make it a regualr practice, like weekly, depending on how much you want to lose.
