Changed Password but lost all my photos and itunes !  Help !

Hi.
I have been storing my music and photos on my powerbook G4 for a year when I finally got around to changing my password (by inserting the Start-up disk and going to Systems and Resetting Password). In a burst of enthusiasm, I also then changed the name of the user. I then logged back in (with my new password and username) but found to my dismay that itunes and iphoto are now empty !!! Disaster !
The things I previously loaded on my hard-drive (e.g. applications) are still there, so I am wondering whether my music and photos are also still lurking around? Does anyone know what I have done wrong and how I can get back my music and photos?
Many thanks !

I would try and change the username back to what you had it.

    Downloaded and installed 5.0.1, killed my phone, finally able to restore but lost all apps, photos, etc. help.  Everything I need is on my iTunes page but I cannot sync with iPhone4. Any ideas how I can sync?

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

    I plugged my phone ino my computer to download more music and it said I had an update, so I hit the update button and it said I had to restore the phone to factory settings.  I tried turning it off and getting out of the screen, but it wouldn't allow me to do anything other than restore.  Now I lost all my photos and music = can I get anything back?

    You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
    If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

    It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
    If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

    If you did not backup your iPad, your photos are gone forever.

  • I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

  • HT1349 lost all my photos and videos

    hello
    i've restarted my iphone and i lost all my photos and videos unfortunatly
    i do not have backup for it
    please could you help me
    i looking forward to hearing about it as soon as possible
    thank you

    If your photos and videos are gone and there's no backup, then there's not much you can do. 
    Next time, be more careful.  Upload photos and videos to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be stored and archived safely on the computer

  • I have lost ALL my photos and ALL my documents as well as my iphoto application.

    My laptop was recntly sent from Australia to London, as far as I know everything was on it when it left Australia. When i opened it up in London, everything was gone. All the folders and iPhoto included. How ever none of my music or downloads have dissapeared or been affected at all, just photos and documents. I have nothing from either left. I have spotlight searched for all JPEG and Doc/Docx files, and today I have been running Stellar Pheonix Mac recovery pretty much all day. It has turned up a few photos but no documents and no sign of iPhoto either. I regularly empty my trash so there is nothing in there. I do not think I would have accidentally deleted them anyway, but who knows. I have no back ups (Stupid I know) so time machine isnt an option either. Any help, ideas or solutions on any ways to get them back would be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou

    Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

    Did you backup your phone prior to updating your IOS?  IF you did then you can restore from that backup, see link

    Also photos should be imported to your computer as you would a digital camera

  • I updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 6 and I lost all my photos and apps

    I'm very worried because I updated my ipod touch 4g and I lost all my apps and photos, what can I do to recover my apps and photos?.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.
