Had to have my hard drive "cleaned."  Now everything I try and do is a mess.  All my data on my iPhone was deleted.  I'm trying to figure out how to find it.  I can't update my apps.  Always asks for my PW, but tells me it's wrong....HELP!

I recently had to have my computer hard drive "cleaned."  While this was going on, I broke my SG3, and now own an SG4.
I also changed servers for the internet.  When I tried to plug in my SG4, after not being on iTunes for some time, all my data was erased.
No every time I try and do ANYTHING, it asks for my PW.....which is ALWAYS WRONG.....though I've reset it over and over and over.
I want my data back (contacts, pics, etc.).  But I can't even maneuver around iTunes any more.
How in the **** do I get someone from iTunes to give me assisstance for the myriad of problems for which I am encountering.  This is a CLUSTERF.....
HELP!

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4".  Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files.  Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen.  Do you not have a backup?  The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

  • I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
    All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

  • Trying to figure out how to find this error?

    Hi,
    I have a project that keeps throwing this error, but I can't see, to figure out how to find it:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    It's a very large project. How can I search for this?
    thanks,
    Dave

    ok, so it showed me a few things... THANKS, but none of which were exactly a problem:
    at ALeCard_CBP_0101_fla::MainTimeline/frame23()[ALeCard_CBP_0101_fla.MainTimeline::frame23:4 3]
    at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
    at ALeCard_CBP_0101_fla::MainTimeline/fl_ClickToGoToScene2523()[ALeCard_CBP_0101_fla.MainTim eline::frame25:302]
    so the top one is just a part of a button
    downloadButton.buttonMode = true;
    which is fine.
    then, the other one points to a part of a function that I've used in a dozen other places and it works fine:
    MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(23);
    something I did find-and I still can't figure out why-is that download button was causing issues. I have NO idea why since it's an exact duplicate from another file.
    but this is cool to have this information-thanks!

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

    Hi bodegakc,
    If you have the serial number then please use the below mentioned link to download the product you are looking for .
    CS5.5
    Also before installing Please go to Applications-->Utilities--> Adobe installers and if there is any uninstaller for CS5.5 , you can remove it and do a fresh install.
    You can also use creative cloud cleaner tool before installing.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • HT203167 Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy my list (about 98 songs). Is my music stored in my old hsrd drive? Sorry guys I'm not real good with this comp. stuff. Just want my music back

    Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy or purchase new music.Are my i-tunes stored in my old hard drive ? Do I have to take my old hard drive to a computer store and have them placed on something called a flash drive ? I'm having the same trouble retrieving my Ancestry.com infor.

    Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
    Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive.

    Music Rescue also works as far as restoring your playlists etc. I've used it twice, you can use the Quick Recover mode, but have to click continue trial (something like that) allot, cp. to purchase option. Otherwise diesel is right as far as restoring via  your purchase history.

  • Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

    Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac).  When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download.  They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod.  How can I get all of my songs back?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Help I had to have my hard drive replaced!

    Hi
    Last week I had to have the hard drive on my laptop removed and replaced with a new one. I'll be honest I am not so good at tech stuff but did get an ipod guide book, and before comp went kaput I thought I saved my songs to DVD, however I have no clue how to retreive them. When I first plugged in my ipod and itunes window came up it asked me whether I wanted to replace the old library or something. So I clicked yes.
    So I guess 2 issues. One is that now I try to disconnect my ipod from itunes it says it cannot be ejected as it contains files that are in use by another application. What does this mean?! And the other is trying to get my old library of songs back.
    I honestly don't have a clue! But I need to disconnect so would appreciate any help asap!
    Thanks

    "I thought I saved my songs to DVD, however I have no clue how to retrieve them"
    Depending on whether you saved your files to DVD in folders or just as a group of files, put the DVD into your computer, open iTunes and go to Add folder to Library or Add File to Library. Navigate to the DVD and add your files back into iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import and Convert functions
    "now I try to disconnect my ipod from itunes it says it cannot be ejected as it contains files that are in use by another application"
    By any chance do you have McAfee ActiveScan or any other disk scanning software installed on on your PC? If so try switching it off before you eject.

    i had to have my hard drive replaced. how do i get my itunes library back on my computer?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
    For more information, see:

    For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, as John said you'll need to restore from your backups or get the content from whatever place you got it originally.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
    Thanks Any Help is appreciated.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
    .....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
    The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
    If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup. 
    Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
    All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.
