Completely MESSED UP - lost all files - try fixing this! ha

okay so first, the ipod crapped out a while ago, wouldn't completely turn on.
i dropped it, fine, worked again for a couple weeks.
it crapped out today, hit it, fine.
crapped out AGAIN today, dropped it, turned on eventually, but i lost ALL my files.
i tried to restore it, but it won't let me...something about missing files.
now there is NOTHING on my hard drive. it even freezes up my iTunes...and messes up my computer.
i tried going to disk mode and restoring, no luck, same error.
and when i turn it on, now the file exclamation icon shows up.
i can hear it trying to turn on...that repetitive whirring sound...
i'm pretty sure it's done, but a last try - any suggestions?

. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

All Files Try to open with Photo Viewer

I was downloading some pictures and when finished ,now all files try to open with photo viewer. (ie Word,Excel,Paint,just all files lised on the menu. If someone knows how to fix this pleas reply.

Hi ObiWanKanobe,
I recommend you check the Default Programs. Follow these steps:
1. Click Start – input “default programs”(without quotation)
2. Click Set your default programs.
3. Choose Windows Photo Viewer in the left panel, then Choose defaults for this program.
4. Make sure you don’t check other types of files, like doc and so on.
Then check if the issue persists.
Regards,
Miya

Thanks. I will try this. My previous machine was running Vista and I
rarely compacted folders. NEVER had a problem. Apparently
Win 8.1 is more sensitive to this.

Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

After upgrading to Aperture 3 I had to 'upgrade' all files. When this was done, there was an Aperture 3 library and the original Aperture 2 library. Are the two libraries identical and can I safely trash the Aperture 2 library?

If the upgrade completed successfully and you are running Aperture 3 on the converted library and you're sure all the images that were in the old library are in the new library then you could delete the Aperture 2 library.
However I'm the paranoid type and when it comes to deleting images I'm always hesitant. If you can fine a place to archive the old library that would be your a better option.
At a minimum I would keep the old library around for a month or so after switching to Aperture 3 just to make sure in case something pops up.

If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations

I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4. If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up. It use to work before no problem. If I reset, it does nothing. This is happening on **both** of my machines.
I manually changed them all to PS CS4 and still the oddd time MS Paint will start and not PS.
Any ideas how to fix this?

There are 2 places to look. One is in Bridge preferences/file associations. If that does not fix the problem in XP open Explorer Tools/Folder Options/file types.
Look to see that the default program for the file type is what you want.
Good hunting.

Lost all files and applications installed after changing user profile in the registry of windows 8.1 pc

The original user profile on my windows 8.1 pc is C:\Apple\acer sm. I tried changing it to C:\Apple\Apple. After I rebooted my PC, I found out that all my files and applications are lost. What shall I do to recover them?
Your help would save my life. Thank you!

Hi AppleMist,
We wonder if you changed the registry entry or path of user profile.
If you did that in registry please try changing it back.
After changing your user profile and reboot, system won’t read the profile you changed but a new user profile (C:\Apple\acer sm or TEMP) should be created by system. Try renaming this new one as acer sm.old and changing the apple back to acer sm.
It should works fine if you didn’t change file in profile, if it doesn’t work perform a system restore.

Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations - On 2 computers

I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4. If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up. It use to work before no problem. If I reset, it does nothing. This is happening on both of my machines.
I manually selected PS CS4 but at times MS Paint still comes up and if I click the restore defaults, NOTHING happens.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I have a similar but subtle difference showing up. This morning, I clicked Open on a .psd in Bridge CS3 and got "~Photo~1" in place of a program selection. In some cases, I got this and CS4 as options. If I go to Find in Explorer, it opens. Since I have decided to wait for CS5 and the trial period is almost over, I uninstalled CS4 and did a cleanup afterwards. Now, when I go to CS3 Bridge nothing happens. Find in Explorer says it cannot open it either. So I checked File Associations and sure enough it was practically empty, saying "None" to the vast majority of file types. It even indicated None for the nef files but they do open in ACR anyway.
Since my three basic file types are Tiff, psd and nef, I got those working by re-associating them in XP. I also have a number of DNG, but haven't tried these yet.
Reading the links here, it looks like this is a real bug and since it is persistent back to CS2, has been around for a while.
I expect I will have to uninstall CS3 and do a CS cleaner and start over again.
This is on XP. I have Win7 as well, but at the moment, only CS3 there. I'll reinstall CS4 then uninstall it and see if W7 is also a problem.

Idisk empty, lost all files

Can someone urgently help me out here.
I am a frequent and enthusiastic user of multiple Apple devices (iMac, Macbook, iPad, iPhone, iPod) but when I gave my old Macbook to my nephew I decided to delete all files, even on the local Macbook iDisk file. I forgot to logout first so I am afraid I synced from the MacBook to all other devices hence I am lost now. No more files in iDisk, zero, empty!!!!!
How to retreive? Is there some sort of old iDisk backup file?
Regards,
PJ

No. But you can get the files back on your current mac (assuming they were there before) by restoring from your Time Machine backup.

My iPhone lost all files and the screen won't turn on

I was using my iphone not suddenly all filies have been removed and the screen won't turn on and the phone is charged

How do you know all files have been removed if the screen won't turn on?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Lost all files in Thinkvantage foder

I have Lenovo 3000 N100. It appears that I have lost all the files in the Thinkvantage folder and some in the Lenovo care folder (no .exe file shown). Nothing happens when I press the Thinkvantage button, nor when I select the Lenovo care icon. Is it possible for me to download the necessary files from Lenovo site, and am I likely to have any problems as a result. I have internet access fine and the Client Security System (which I want to disable). Any help gratefully received.

check to see what the usage file weight is in the settings app under pages.
since they sync together, they arent lost, just need to be restored.
delete the app maybe and reinstall it.
does usage show no file weight at all?
