Everything disappeared from my Itunes on my PC. No playlists and no music. Have carbonite and they could only find in the files 3.3G and I ahd over 7 G in there.
What happened and how do I get it back? Also if I attached my I pod will I lose the music that is in there and not in I tunes?
Would going to system prestore help?

This explains how to do what you want to do. It was written for an iPhone or an iPod Touch, but the process is the same for an iPad.

While doing the backup via iTune, my contacts in iPhone AND iPad have been completely wiped out. They are still all available on my Address Book on my Mac. Any idea what happened and how to resolve this ?
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Do you see them at iCloud.com
Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back. -
All of my songs have exclamation points next to them but when I go to my iTunes media folder to find the files, there is nothing in the folders. Any idea what happened and how I can get my music back?
I wish I could help. There are numerous threads about missing music but last I looked, no solution. You might want to read through them anyway.

Any idea what happened and how to fix it?
Hopefully I can explain this weird and confusing situation. Before I explain what happened, let me say that I have multiple hard drives internal and external with backups of each. Now the problem with my Mac Pro started when the trash was emptying. A usb thumb drive was removed while a file that was on it was still up on my screen, so the drive was removed improperly. While it just sat there with the bar turning in the empty trash window, I went to one of my hard drives to look for a file. The folders were all there but all were empty. Anyway, I had to turn it off by holding down the on/off button when force quit wouldn't work. Once I restarted, the hard drive where I had the empty folders, was now missing with no record of it. Also, my main HD acted like it was set back several weeks. It loaded emails that were already viewed and deleted, software I had recently installed wasn't there, and disk utilities wouldn't let me do anything to the main HD backup. I had to go to restart the comp with the option key and only then did it let me erase the main HD backup. Once I did reformat the backup, the main drive which was an exact clone of the backup through SUPPERDUPER, now showed the software I had installed and acted normal. However, the hard drive that showed the empty folder is still missing and disk utilities can't help me... What the heck happened and how do I find my drive and how do I fix this mess? Thanks
it let me erase the main HD backup. Once I did reformat the backup,
Do you mean: "Let you Restore the main HD From the backup?"
the hard drive that showed the empty folder is still missing and disk utilities can't help me...
Does the drive show up under:

I upgraded to Lion X and have been having problems with FaceTime my version is 2.0 and the Apple store does not have this version, what happened to the changes, I used to use IChat and it was great, this is no longer available. Any hints for video conferencing or for what is going on.
You can video conference with the iChat component of Messages. Not sure if that's possible with Facetime. I have been using Facetime for video chat without any problems. Quality is no different than with iChat.

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have not updated operating system or anything, I just suddenly lost the tool bar on emails when I reply or forward an email. This means I have no send or forward etc buttons. I have to go into the pulldown menu for commands. When I create a new message, no problem. It won't let me right click on the top of the email to try and add anything. What's happening here? I'm using 10.5.8
Found the answer on another thread.

i can't use my ipad because of thi error:"ipad not backed up,this ipad hasn't backed up.backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked,and connected to Wi-Fi." what i am suppose to do?
Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches. -
I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup. -
My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before. Windows recently installed some updates. I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus. I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone. WHAT happened????? Can I get them back from Apple somehow? Can I restore them from my Ipod? (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs. What can I do????
a) See: How to rename your iPod.
b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
"I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable. -
My music, apps, movies everything has disappeared from my itunes library!
why have all my music, apps, movies, EVERYTHING but a few files all of a sudden disappeared from my itunes library, and how do I get it back?! I "checked for possible downloads" and it said all my material had been downloaded already.
Hi miller2x,
One possible cause of an empty library is this:
iTunes creates an empty library file in Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2715
Here's some information on finding the missing media:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
Lastly, this article has information on recreating your library and playlists:

It appears that my iTunes Library of song just suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Did I lose it or is someway I don't know?
To double check it wasn't misplaced do a Spotlight search for a few tracks you know exist. Spotlight will usually find them even if the files have obscure names.
If you really, really can't find any of this anywhere then it is possible it is all gone. Normally an update or doing anything with iTunes should not do this, but once or twice a week out of millions of iTunes users we see somebody who has lost a library. In that case you have to restore it from your computer's backup. If you don't have one (why not?) you have to rebuild the library from the sources. You can re-download most media you have purchased from Apple from the Store (not all though). -
I just upgrade from the 4 to 5s. Are my apps supposed to transfer over and perhaps it just takes time to load like my email and pitures are? I tried to install apps and it showed that they are already installed. What do I do to get them to show up?
Hi, Twilavegas3.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your restored from a backup and the apps that are missing on the device show "Open" in the App Store, then they are located on other pages on your iPhone or are in folders. Also, with the iOS 7 update most developers have changed icon badging. This can cause some applications to be difficult to find.

I purchased several older James Bond movies 2 years ago that have all disappeared from my iTunes and are no longer available. Will I be refunded for these items?
No you won't be refunded, it's your responsibility to keep copies of your purchases. Have you not got copies of them on backups ?
