Help - I've just lost it!!

I've just lost LabVIEW help.
Very confusing. I've been using it all day, I tried to launch help from one of the hyperlinks to a more detailed description in one of the quick help windows (Ctrl+H) and it's gone!
I've tried closing LV and restarting it, I've just rebooted my PC and still all I get is the LabVIEW help box on the toolbar, but no application/window behind it that activates when clicked.
When Task manager switches to LabVIEW help task, all other windows lose focus, but no help appears.
OS = Win XP
LabVIEW = 8.6.1 (the only version on this Laptop)
Any Ideas?

Well there is still a step left if you also want to look at the help not maximized. While the help window is maximized, go back to the task bar entry and do the same to restore (=unmaximize). Now go back and select "move". Move the window with the arrow keys until it appears and you can grab it with the mouse.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them?!

Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them???

I also experienced loss of important archived voicemails on my Iphone on two occasions within the last 12 mos:
1. after upgrading my Iphone 4S to an Iphone 5 using Itunes backup and then erasing my Iphone 4s. I lost all my voicemails older than 90 days (ATT is my carrier). I was able to recover the old voicemails by restoring my Iphone 4s from my Itunes backup and holding onto that device for reference.
2. again, six mos later after restoring a new Iphone 5 using a recent ITunes backup after water damage to my first Iphone 5. Nobody in my local Apple store or on Apple phone support, including a "senior techniciaan" had any useful knowledge to assist me with this frustrating issue. Ultimately, I spent many hours researching this myself. Apparently, there is a bug in the Iphone 5 OS when restoring from ITunes. I don't know if this problem also occurs after restoring from an ICloud backup. However, I found that Iphone voicemails are available for a limited period 30-90 days through your phone carrier ie. ATT, Verizon, etc but more importantly, ALL voicemails are archived on an ITUNES backup regardless of age assuming you didn't delete them off your IPhone before last backing up your device. So, if you lost or damaged your IPhone but have an ITunes backup, all you need is an ITunes extractor, unfortunately not available through APPLE. Apple reps are not authorized to discuss non-apple issued software even if they're aware. There are several ITunes extractors available for music, photos, SMS files etc but most don't also have the capability of opening the embedded voicemails. Happily, using this software, I successfully extracted from my ITunes backup file ALL my voicemails old and current, using www.backuptrans.com/itunes-backup-extractor.html (Mac and Windows versions available). A life-saver!

Help I've just lost 8 years worth of iCal data

I've just lost 8 years worth of iCal data. Does Apple still have the data? My HD died. My Mac mini will not support the new "Cloud" portal. Does anyone have any ideas how I can retrieve my data from Apple? Thanks

When you say "I can see all of my calendars", I'm assuming you mean in iCal, yes? If so, my two suggestions would be:
1) Go into Time Machine and go back to a date when you had all your calendar info, and restore the calendar from there.
Or ...
2) If you were using MobileMe, access your MobileMe account through your web browser, open the Calendar in there and see if there's any data in that calendar. If there is, you should be able to sync through Mobile Me, choosing let MobileMe overwrite the hard drive.
But I'd definitely try Time Machine first.
Good luck.

Help! I just lost 35 gigs of edited video

ok heres the situation. Im nearing the end of editing a short film.
I cannot open the imovie file to get to my project.
It started when I tried to save my work last night. (I click save project every 30 minutes or so of editing, so I had saved it probably 50 or times already on this project). After trying to save this time, I got the small window saying "saving thumbnails". It usually takes maybe 5-10 seconds to complete the save.
This time however, the "saving thumbnails" window spun and spun for over 15 MINUTES.
After deciding that my computer was locked up, and that I might have to lose my unsaved work, (maybe 30 minutes, no big deal) I shut down imovie.
Now, when I try to open this file I get:
The file “_” couldn’t be opened and is being skipped. Click “Ignore All” to skip any remaining missing file messages.
When I click the "Ignore All" button I get the window saying: "The application iMovie HD quit unexpectedly" Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Reopen to open the application again.
Nothing is working.
I still have all of the original video footage, but "expletive expletive" I've spent over 40-45 hours editing this project.
I've restarted the computer, unplugged it for over an hour before turning everything back on.
This imovie file is on a Lacie 120 gig external drive. Ive been using this drive for a year or more with no problems. There are a few other imovie files on this external drive that have not been affected and are opening just fine.
Please, please, please, if anyone has any suggestions.
thanks for taking the time to read this,

I need help...just lost about 20gigs of HD space

Hi folks...I installed three programs....Handbrake, Mactheripper and ffxmpegx, and i copied a movie to my desktop (temporarily) all in all...about 1 gig. A few hours ago...I realized though that I'm missing about 28 gigs of HD space.
My question is the following.
is there a program or feature on the mac, that will allow me to see which programs are taking up the most amount of space? For example, my pc, has the 'add/remove programs' section, which also states program sizes.
If anyone can help, i'd appreciate it. Thanks

Hi George
Your post didn't mention, do you use FileVault?
I've seen a number of these 'disappearing space' issues caused by a feature of FileVault: it doesn't recover disk space when you delete anything unless it's plugged in to an AC outlet.
Note I said 'feature' not 'bug'. The sparse file (which is what FileVault stores the encrypted profile in) can only be shrunk to recover space while you are logging off or restarting. It could be catastrophic to interrupt this process, so it won't offer to do it while the machine is not plugged in.
If you do use it, try plugging in the laptop then either restarting or just logging out. When it asks if you want to recover space, agree & let it run.
Peace

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me?

You cannot use it. You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it. Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
Sorry.
There is no way to track your ipod.

Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud. If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.

Please help-I was just informed I cant activate my CS software through Adobe?!!! What a pisser-I lost my desktop to a virus, I got a new one and refuse to ever go online with it. I put @Photoshop in, it wants an authorization code that Adobe says "CS is too old so please go to our forum for help"... So I am here Ladies and Gentlemen. I really need help on how to reactivate my software and without the use of the internet (last time I tried online, ended up doing over the phone which is no longer offered...) that cost me several hundred to begin with-I am upset @Adobe won't activate it-why? I don't know. But please, if someone out there knows what I can do to overcome this, I would be very grateful. Thank you for all help and taking the time to reply.
Peace, John Shea

it's your lucky day. you can upgrade to ps cs2 free.

I just lost my iphone5 in a foreign country. Was not able to previously register it with icloud and have not installed the findmy iphone app. How can i wipe out my data remotely without these setups? Is there any good app i can use to track it? Please help!

No, nothing you can do to track it if you did not take any measures before the loss.

Help Please- just lost 5600 songs

I have two things going very wrong, please help.
1.I have had trouble dropping songs into iTunes. i have searched the forums and I am very frustrated at the amount of people having the same problem with no resolution. i tried to drop 20 concerts into iTunes and only 2 showed up. These shows play in Quicktime and I know that they're not all corrupt. i doubt any of them are. I tried saving to a flash drive and they still wouldn't drop in. I tried importing the shows, tried importing the songs, but to no avail. I tried saving the music into another folder on the desktop and they still wouldn't drop into iTunes.
2. This is the biggie. My harddrive isn't very big so after I save the music onto my ipod i have to erase it. So I have 5000 songs that can't play because they're not stored onto the hard drive anymore. So I selected all of the songs that aren't able to play anymore and erased them from iTunes. I recently synced the ipod and now I've lost all 5600 songs. Please help before I ruin anything else.
Thanks,
-Norman

It's very frustrating because I had tried to add the files like you said, but to no avail. But there hasn't been a reason stated as to why we can't add the files. The only answer seems to be that that's the way it is and we'll have to live with it. I know the files aren't corrupt, the format is the same, they're from a sharing website and there's no copyright protection or anything like that on them. iTunes just doesn't do it. I'm kinda sick to my stomach right now
And now i just lost 5600 songs

Just lost my home to a fire, help retreiving online purchases

Just lost my home to a fire, I had purchased a newer version of Photo shop elements that was installed on my computer.. I am not sure how to retreieve this info and if it can be downloaded online? the last I see on my account is from 2010. Are any of these avaiable to be to downlaod? I do not see any options, and everything was lost in the fire. Any help is greatly appreciated I was not insured for my personal belongings for replacement money. Thank you, [email protected]

Hi,
Sorry to hear about the fire - I hope nobody was injured.
If you log in to your Adobe account, you should be able to see all the serial numbers of the versions you had registered.
The software can be downloaded from here.
Where can I download older versions of PSE?
Good luck
Brian

I am in tears! I have just lost all my music in my itunes and they are not located on my pc either as it's a new pc. Help PLEASE!

I am in tears! I have just lost all my music in my itunes and they are not located on my pc either as it's a new pc. Help PLEASE!

Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Or to copy it from a different computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support.
