Friend gave me used iphone3-we used it for 6 mos -now when we synced it to PC, our used iphone now has the contents of our existing iPod - lost everything that was on our used iphone!! How to get it all back (we only care about home videos/photos). Help
A friend gave us her used iphone. We used it to take home videos and photos, and now that we synced it to our PC it has lost everything on it, and it has been replaced with the contents of our already existing iPod. In other words, all our music, photos and apps that were on our existing itunes account (used with our IPOD) etc, have been put into this used iPhone. Is there any way to get back all that stuff (mainly just want our home videos and photos back!!) Where on earth are they? Are they stored somewhere on my PC? I feel so dumb for syncing it now, and very sad for having lost my precious videos of my kids.
Thanks for helping!
kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -
I reset my macbook pro a few days ago.. and when i started to use it again i noticed all my apps were gone (keynote, iMovie, garage band, etc) i don't know how to get them all back and every time i try it tells me i must buy them.. what do i do?
should i come into the actual apple store or can you help online ?Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using. -
I'm really disappointed with new 5 update. No music, No photos, No videos, lost all emails. Anyone know how to get these all back? Yes, I have synced and synced and synced. Help
Hopefully it isn't too late for this but: before performing an update it is really best if you close all apps (double click the home button, click and hold on one of the apps that appears at the bottom of the phone until the red minus sign appears and then tap the minus sign until all apps are closed) and then turn the phone off by holding the standby button until the slider saying "slide to power off" appears and slide it to turn the phone off. Then turn the phone back on and hook it up to your computer to sync and perform the upgrade. This also helps if you do this before performing syncs too. I had problems with an iPod previously where it would fail to backup before sync most times, but have never had a problem with updates or syncs since I started performing this procedure. Unfortunately, your pre-update backup may have failed and the data in your apps might be gone, but you could try to restore your phone. If I remember correctly how to do this, you connect it to your computer and check for updates. It should say you're up to date, but have an option to restore the phone. If it does, I'd try that. It may also have a "restore from backup" option you could try.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
Dan_nz.There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

i recently purchased a new computer. now i cant sync any new music from i tunes to my existing ipod (classic) w/o getting a message to erase all of my existing content and start over. Help. is there a way to sync new music w/o erasing my existing ipod library?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Once you have successfully done that, you can safely choose the Erase and Sync option.

How can I re-download previous purchases 2006-07 if I do not have the same PC?
ThanksThe ability to redownload past purchases is tied up to your iTunes account, not your computer. I don't know how far back in time Apple will have kept your purchase history. Presumably they now aim to keep it indefinitely but that may not have been the case in the past when you were only entitled to a single download.

Why did apple get rid of the activity window in OSX 10.8? That was such a useful feature.
This is BS if activity window is gone for good, so am I. I'm switching to crome.
It's not Activity Window, but if you go to Safari>Extensions and scroll down, you'll find Click to Flash. If you install this, it'll change the native .flv file to an .m4v or .mp4 (something like that). You can then just right click on the video in question and click on the dl button

Hello, after opening the Firefox on my dad's laptop, he can't see anything except the title "Mozilla Firefox". There is no toolbar, no "File, Edit, View etc." icons, so he just can't do anything. He even can't fill the gap for a net address. Perhaps there's some "F.." key for getting back to common run? It's likely he's pushed some of these. Thank you for your help in advance. Zuzana
Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. -
I'm worried that the videos have disappeared but I'm hoping that the problem is something related to the upgrade and the new version of iphoto being unable to read the videos. I don't remember whether they are avi, mov, or something else and when I try to look in iphoto on my external drive I'm prompted to convert the photo library so the new version of iphoto can read it. I assume that would make it impossible for me to see the videos so I don't want to do it. Thanks for any help!! Kim
When a movie is imported into iPhoto it's automatically give the keyword "Movie". So create a smart album in your library with the criteria: Keyword is Movie. That will display every movie in your library and let you know if any are missing.

I have always used the same laptop for all of my iPhones but awhile back this laptop had a virus so my husband wiped out the laptop and now when I sync my iPhone I no longer receive my entire music library (including purchased songs) on my iPhone. How do I fix this?
