Dear Turingtest2 Please Help!!

Dear Turingtest2,
I have seen some of your posts and advice and I am in desperate need of some help.
I was using my Itunes with about 14 odd playlists.
Then one day I noticed not all my media was on Itunes, since I was afraid to have repeat songs, I DELETED MY ENTIRE LIBRARY (not the files itself, just from itunes)
BY DOING THIS, I DELETED MY ENTIRE PLAYLIST COLLECTION!
I know about  this article referring to Itunes Media Library.xml
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
However, That file is now OVERWRITTEN. I tried RECUVA software to recover the old .xml file but it does not show!
PLEASE HELP!
WORST PART, when I connected my IPOD to export those playists, it AUTO SYNCED and Deleted all of them from the IPOD as well!
I can even use recovery software on my IPOD nano which had all the playlists,
But I do not know which file I am LOOKING for IN the ipod, Basically the .xml,
the "previous itunes library" folder has ancient dates, over 6 months old.
I used File recovery software on Itunes folder but all I see are .tmp files
When I replace them to either .itl or .xml it doesn't help either...
I spend A LOT of time making those playlists from huge collections.
PLEASE HELP!

Praise to all the clever people sharing the knowledge!!!
Just created an account to say thanks to the experts on here, I have used your guidance to sort out a problem installing itunes 11.1.4. I just have!! Thanks to you nice people.
Im just adding my 26000 tunes back in to the library which will probably take all night, when im asleep relaxing that i fixed it because of you!! Thanks! I hate frtting over computer stuff!
Just the crap now of following the process to copy and patch over a file to get play counts back & ratings.
Thanks again. We need you nice experts to guide us!!

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support or Apple.
    Music can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries. If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded, and if it's still in the store, then it will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. If some of your music purchases show there but not all, then check to see if any are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music, or if it's no longer in the store, then you will need to re-sync it from your copies on your computer's iTunes (or your backup of your downloads). If you haven't got a copy of your library anywhere then for the tracks that are still in the store you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    takeshi,  I hope that Malaysia is treating you well. Sorry to learn that you have been having trouble with your Droid 3. The great news is that it is a 4G LTE device, so it is already unlocked, as are all our 4G LTE devices. Once our SIM card is removed, we no longer have any access to the phone. Since it is not linked with a VZW account, what I would recommend doing is obtaining a SIM card from a local carrier. They will be able to provide the steps to get the device activated. I do want to caution you that the phone may not work as it was designed to do since it won't be connected to our network. I do apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, and I hope that you have a great rest of your day.   ErinW_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • Oh Dear God Please help!

    I have never used an apple in my life... Won one on that win a white pack contest.. now when i turn it on it goes to a screen with a little apple picture in the middle and a little circle in the middle that keeps spinning as though its thinking... my wonderful husband in all his wisdom put a cd in as well that i now cannot eject cause i can't do a **** thing... all its doing is spitting air out of a little slot in the back of the screen.. HELP! i have no idea what to do.

    We need more information in order to help........
    1. To eject the CD restart or start the computer while pressing down on the mouse until the CD ejects.
    2. If the computer does not boot up afterwards, put in the #1 Apple recovery CD and restart the computer while holding down the C key on the keyboard until you see the spinning spoke wheel then release the C key.
    3. After the computer boots to the #1 CD select you language and continue.
    4. In the upper left hand corner of the screen select "Utilities", then select "Disk Utilities".
    4. On "Disk Utilities" opens select your hard drive (probably will be named "Macintosh") and then select "First Aid".
    5. Then select "Repair Disk"
    6. After the "Repair Disk" is complete and NO errors were found, go back to the upper left corner and select "Quit Utilities". If you do get errors that cna no be repaired run "Repair Disk" several more times. If the errors can not be repaired the you have a couple other options.
    6A. Purchase Disk Warrior by Alsoft and run.
    6B. Reinstall everything.
    7. After quitting select you start-up drive (probably Macintosh).
    Hope this helps...

  • Dear Community - Please Help.  iPod Touch 4th Generation Not Recognized Suddenly on Macbook Pro

    Hello all,
    Just today my iPod Touch is not being recognized by my macbook pro - OSX Mountain Lion.  Literally was working yesterday. 
    I have tried all the suggestions and trouble shooting and have scoured these community pages for an answer trying everything...
         - Restart and Shutdown the Macbook
         - Reset iPod - even did a full reset (didn't have a ton of content on there - no biggie)
         - Checked the five cords i have with my iPad and the USB ports on the macbook and all work with the iPad no problem
         - etc...
    The iPod DOES charge no problem with the wall adaptor, so the input on the iPod itself is fine... and the iPod functions and Apps are working perfectly, it just won't be recognized by the computer.
    What can I do here????
    Very puzzled and stressed as I need to load it up with music for tomorrow!

    There was a reply here that I have been trying and now the reply is not in this discussion...
    Is there anything else that anyone could suggest...
    This is what was suggested:

    j'ai appeller le service client meditel mais pas de sulition ils ont dit que ne proposent pas ce service . mon contrat est fini le mois de janvier  2013

    Have you asked them?
    You might want to start out by telling them you are interested in changing carrier and see if that gets their attention at all.
