Help! accidentally deleted to dos

hello, i accidentally deleted some to dos and cant get them back
i did make time machine backups though but dont know how to use them to get back to an old ical state. i didnt make an ical backup unfortunately

heiner kruse,
First of all, make a backup of your current iCal data. iCal>File>Back up iCal...
Quit iCal, and then enter Time Machine at the time that you still had those To Do's. Find the yourusername/Library/Calendars folder, click on Action Icon, select "Restore Calendars To..." and choose yourusername/Library/ Folder. You should be asked if you want to replace the folder, which is what you want to do.
If you made other calendar entries between the selected backup time, and today they will be lost. Only you can decide which is more important, the To Do's or the calendar entries.
Good Luck.
;~)

HELP:: Accidentally deleted Old Time Machine Backup!

I was trying to free up some space on my external HD, and deleted a prior backup - assuming that the one called "Latest" was the backup I wanted.
When I deleted the backup named "01/11/09" - it actually appears to have deleted the contents of any/all of my backups!
What I'm worried about - is that before I realized this - I emptied the trash, and restarted the computer.
This is critical stuff that is from a previous computer that I just sold when I upgraded. Years worth of files and photos.
Any help is much appreciated.

First, you should never delete any backups from finder. if you have to do it it should only be done from TM interface. since you've emptied trash your ONLY hope now is using data recovery software like Filesalvage or Data Rescue II. you should turn off TM and use one of those programs asap to maximize recovery chances.
Also, you should never use TM as an archiving utility to store files. It is a backup tool not an archiving tool. old backups are constantly thinned and eventually recycled without warning.
If you need to store some data permanently keep it on a separate drive.

Terminal help - accidentally deleted /System/Library/Extensions

So I foolishly deleted my entire Extensions folder. I only trashed it though, not emptied. But I can't boot up. The only way I can get into anything is by using the retail Snow Leopard CD. From here I can get to the terminal.
So...
Can I restore my files from the trash via the terminal in the install cd?
I've been trying some commands but no luck so far.
Help is greatly appreciated.

Perfect. It took a little tweaking. First I had to create the "Extensions" directory again, and even then it wouldn't let me move a whole directory, just individual files. The "-R" command worked that out though.
The full code I ended up using was...
cp -R /Volumes/"Hard Drive"/.Trashes/*/Extensions /Volumes/"Hard Drive"/System/Library/Extensions

Playlist Help (Accidentally Deleted Playlist)

I accidentily deleted a playlist from my iTunes library but I still have the music and playlist downloaded on my iPhone. Is there any way I can transfer the playlist back or off of my iPhone and onto its own separate playlist so I can transfer the same playlist to other devices?

Sorry but no. You'll have to recreate it as best you can.

Help- Accidentally deleted quicktime X

i thought i should "grade" to quicktime 7 pro, to get additional features. after I purchased and removed quick time X for snow leopard, I read that the new quick time is better. Not sure if that is correct. but anyway, like and idiot I removed, and emptied the trash of quick time X. Anyone know how I can get it back?

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".

Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

Hello all,
I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is. Here is the long detailed explanation.
I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing) I noticed that under mail/contacts etc. that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it. I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names. I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly. Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly. I did not do this myself. Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts) I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either. I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there. I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up. After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion. This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal. Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again. I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either. Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!
Sam

You might have luck in the iPhone community. I’ll ask the hosts to move your post there.

Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Help Please.

Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Running Windows XP. Help please.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

HELP! I Accidentally deleted the iTunes folder in the My Music folder

HELP! I Accidentally deleted the iTunes folder in the My Music folder so I lost the two files
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
As I understand it, these files contain all the play counts, ratings, etc. and I've spent weeks getting this info the way I want it and don't want to lose it.
I have all my mp3 files on my desktop computer HD under a seperate directories, so I'm not worried about loosig origninal music files. I don't have iTunes copying the files when I add them to the library and I do have "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checked. I have not relocated any of the original music files.
I have not auto synced my iPod, and I can open the iPod in iTunes and all my songs, with play counts, ratings, etc. are there. I just want to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. back to my PC.
Is there any way to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. from the data on the iPod and recreate the .itl & .xml files on my PC? I see there are many files on the iPod two of which look promising "iTunesDB" & "iTunesPlaylists".
Can someone please tell my how to recreate just the .itl & .xml files by using the info on the iPod itself? Again, I have not relocated or lost any of the original music files, I just want to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. back that are stored in the .itl file.
I really don't want to have a software utility copy the info over as then I will have two copies of my music files and I've spent a lot of time organizing and naming the mp3 files just the way I want (not the way iTunes wants).
I've read many posts and it seems many have screwed up recovery by trying things without clear direction.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Try some of the more robust recovery/trnsfer programs. Several can recover the playlists, and metadata of the songs on the iPod. Do some reading on the respective websites.
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)
Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
iPodRip Software
PodUtil Software
Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back? Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes? Thank you, Susan

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.
