Everything gone after service..

i just recently got my imac back after having it sent away to get a new hard drive and cd burner and now i have it back everything is gone. i know that because they replaced my hard drive i lost everything but wouldnt reinstalling it afterward mean putting iphoto and things like that back on? i got the computer in 08 so it only had the os from then on it and i have since upgraded to snow leopard and lion. i dont ever remember getting a disc or anything when i brought it (and ive searched everywhere just incase i did and i forgot) but i remember just plugging it in and turning it on and boom its all there ready to go. so after all that my question is how do i get iphoto and lifesuite and those all back without having to repurchase it?? thanks to anyone who can help me.

so after all that my question is how do i get iphoto and lifesuite and those all back without having to repurchase it??
Did Apple not offer to transfer the information from your old hard disk to the new one? That service costs a little more but if you had no backup it would have been worth it.
It is very important to keep your original system install DVDs in a safe place for this reason. If you are unable to locate it all you can do is call Apple Support - you will have to pay for it - and ask if it is possible for them to send you a replacement disk. You will need to prove ownership of your computer, I suppose that should be easy since it was just serviced, and you will be charged a nominal fee for the disk.

  • Everything gone after iOS 8.1 update!

    I installed the update to iOS 8.1 yesterday - iTunes says there is a back up yesterday morning prior to my update.
    After the update finally finished. It was stuck in a boot loop toggling between black screen and black screen with apple.
    After plugging it in over and over to iTunes for fear my battery would die while it was in the loop, it finally entered a restore mode.  It restored as if it was a new iPad.  Tried to back up from iCloud, nothing available.  Tried to restore from iTunes on computer, nothing.  Everything is GONE with the exception of one webpage shortcut icon and my photos. in iTunes it shows the two apps I was wanting to download just before the update. They are in iTunes and ready to install.
    I attempted to restore from backup this morning again and still NOTHING>
    This is my personal/busniess iPad and I have many Expensive apps I use daily in my therapy job!
    Is there any hope?
    Is there something I can try?
    Is the $19.99 they are asking for a service chat worth it??? I do NOT want to pay them more money because of something I feel THEY screwed up.  My iPad worked with NO kinks prior to the update yesterday.
    TIA,
    Desperate......

    An iTunes backup doesn't contain any of your iTunes downloads (apps, music etc), it contains things such as your app's settings, documents, files etc - instead the restore looks to pick them from your iTunes library.
    As long as the apps are still in your country's store, and you haven't changed countries since buying them, then you should be able redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad. If you don't have the apps in your computer's iTunes library then try redownloading them on there and then retry restoring to the backup and see if  it puts them and their content back on your iPad

  • Everything gone after incorrect sync, how to recover?

    Hi. For some reason that I really can't understand, my iPod synced with the hard drive's iTunes library (even though I've always had it set to manual, as I don't keep a copy of the music on the hard drive).
    Everything is gone now. I've spent sleepless hours online and the only decent recovery software seems to be CopyTrans Doctor. It did 'see' the 1800+ deleted songs, but you can't recover them until you pay and it's A$65, way too expensive. Are there any free alternatives, or something cheaper?

    It is unlikely that your files are really gone if you did an UPGRADE.  On the other hand, if you installed a new OS from scratch, then you erased all your files and will end up with a mac with no files, just like it would come from the store.  If you didn't install a complete fresh OS then have you possibly logged in as a different user?  Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Users and see if there are more than one user.  If so, try logging in as a different user and see if your files are there.
    The other things is to use spotlight to search for a file whose name you know.  Type command-space to bring up the search screen and type in the name of a file you know and see if it shows up.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

  • TS1292 hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratch the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do?

    hi, I've got itunes music card for my birthday and when I scratched the back to redeem the code everything gone, so no code, what can I do? I've been to tesco to customer service and they told to contact itunes support

    These are user-to-user forums. If the page that you posted from doesn't help then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

  • Service PR amount is noyt reduced after Service PO creation  in CJI5 report

    Dear Experts,
    When user created Service PO with T-code ME21, Service PR amount is not reduced from CJI5 report & also increased budget in CJ30.
    But when user create PO with T-code ME21N, Service PR commitment is getting reduced after Service PO creation in CJI5.
    Please explain & propose solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Arvind

    Hiiii...
    Note that there is no difference between creation of purchase order via the t.code ME21 or ME21N...what might be your problem in increase of assigned values is because the buyer (purchase dept) is not referencing the purchase requisition at the time of creation of purchase order as a result of which the system is not reducing the purchase requisition committment.
    Hope this helps....

    First make sure it's really gone by looking in the Utilities folder. That folder opens when you press the key combination shift-command-U in the Finder. If it is gone, reinstall the OS.

  • Problem in assign after service callout

    Hello,
    I'm using OSB 11 g. I have a problem with assign after a service callout.
    The XML returned after the service callout is listed below -
    <S:Body xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <getCreditRatingResponse xmlns:ns2="http://www.alsb.com/order/" xmlns="http://www.alsb.com/">
    <return>750</return>
    </getCreditRatingResponse>
    </S:Body>
    I have created a separate stage with an assign for storing the return value (750) into the variable creditRating, and both of the following statements are not working (unable to see assigned $creditRating in the trace)
    1. $soapResponseBody/alsb:return/text()
    2. fn:data($soapResponseBody/alsb:return)
    There are no namespace issues. Request help in this regard and thanking you in advance.
    Regards
    Shyam.V

    Hi
    I too ran in the same issue.
    The reponse which i get after service callout is
    added $soapResponseBody
    <S:Body xmlns:S="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
    <ns2:getCreditRatingResponse xmlns:ns2="urn:BasicOrderMgr" xmlns="http://www.example.org">
    <ns2:return>750</ns2:return>
    </ns2:getCreditRatingResponse>
    </S:Body>
    and the service callout is followed by an assign where i use the following to assign the variable creditRating
    $soapResponseBody/getCreditRatingResponse/return/text()
    and also tried fn:data($soapResponseBody/*:return) {there is no namespace prefix declaration}
    Please help as i am stuck when i try using the creditRating variable in next route node.

  • All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

    Hi Guys,

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings

    Hello All
    SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings back .
    I donot know what is SID ( System ID ), Instance etc.
    If this is not relevant to this forum plz let me know which forum ....
    Regards

    Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
    Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
    I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.
