Help! May have lost years of files.
My Zire 71 died completely. When recharged I had to reset it like new. My address book synched OK. Docs to go would never synch on my new Mac. So now Zire doesnt show docs to go on the Zire or the Palmone 128 card where it was stored? Was the card wiped out? Years of docs to go files were on the card. Should i reinstall docs to go on zire 71 using windows computer or will that definately format card and wipe it clean? Help!
Hi Karen - all may not be lost. Within your iMovie 'package' (the container in which all of the project is stored), there will be more than one saved version of your movie. You would need to look for that:
1. Find the imovie package (has a star on it). Could be in Users>Movies.
2. Control-Click on this. It will open.
3. Click on 'Show Package Contents' - this will display a number of folders and files.
4. One of the files will be: (your movie's name).~iMovieProj.
5. That one will be a previously-saved version of your movie. Double Click on it.

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

You did not steal my thunder. You asked for advice, I provided advice. I assumed that since you nor the "support team" could find your files that you did not have any backup. You should have told us you do regular backups. We have no way to know otherwise unless you tell us. -

can any one help i have lost safari on my powerMAC g4 and cant figure out how to get it back and safari 5 is not supported on my computer
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If there's sufficient disk space, the startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
You will need your install disc if the startup disk needs repairing.

My power went off and I have lost a word file I was working on. Was this file saved automatically anywhere where I can retrieve?
It may have been if you had autosave activated. I've never had that happen so I don't know where the file is put. I would expect Word would ask you if you wanted to retrieve a saved version when you next started it in those circumstances.

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash
Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu) -
I have lost years worth of music and pictures not all from the same pc how can i get it back
I have lost years worth of music and pictures from my ipod how can i retrieve them ?
- If photos were in your iPod Camera Roll, just restoe from backup. If they were synced to the iPOd you have to get them from where you got them the first place
- For itunes pruchsed music see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- For other music you will hae to get it from where you got it the first time. -
Can anyone help I have lost my SETTINGS app on the opening screen of my iPad and can't find out where to retrieve it. I have re set the factory settings but it did not re-appear. Without this app I can't change any settings. Thanks if anybody can help with idiot guide instructions I would be very grateful.
Hello
Lost mind last week. Remembered a post: impossable to delete this app and one should look in all the folders on the home pages.
Found it in a news folder. So have a look in all of your folders. Hope you haven't to many
Best of luck

I have lost the bonjour file, can I download it without having to uninstall and re-install iTunes?
just go to www.itunes.com and reinstall, the installer will ask you if you want to install or repair, select repair and that will install Bonjour for you.

HELP I seem to have lost all my files after turning on Filevault
Hey all,
im completly new to all things Mac, everything has been great so far but now i seem to have lost everything.
I turned on Filevault protection then shutdown my Macbook, came back to it a couple of hours later and now all of my files, itunes music files have gone, all of the settings and preferences seem to be back to the factory settings, and well everything has dissapeared?!! any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.I have no idea how Apple would handle this. I would hope they would tell you to go into an Apple store and have someone there look at it and fix it. That would be very good advice. Trying to fix a problem like this over the phone would be really hard.
Clearly, your system is no longer mounting your sparseimage file the way it should. The good part of this is that your files are still relatively safe inside that sparseimage. I would not try to turn filevault on or off again. That could be dangerous. Your goal now is backup.
In the terminal, you can type "open /Users/.stuartcampbell/stuartcampbell.sparseimage" to mount that disk image as a new volume. Hopefully, you can log in as "stuart campbell" and do this. That would be really good. If you can, log in as "stuart campbell", open that disk image, and copy all the files you find into a new folder named "saved files" under the "/Users/Shared" folder. You want to get your files out of that sparseimage and into the real file system.
Once you get your files out, you can try to turn filevault off again. My hunch is that FileVault is already off. I think your system has created a new home directory for you named "stuart campbell1" because the old one was corrupted. If this is so, you can safely copy all your files from the sparse image into this new account, overwriting anything you already have. (Just make real sure that your current home directory really is just blank data!!!). At this point, you should be running again, with your home directory being named "stuart campbell1".
If all this is true, try the following. Rename that old "/Users/stuart campbell" folder to /Users/stuart campbell.old". You can run NetInfo, go into "Users", and change your home directory back to "stuart campbell". Then, before doing anything else, rename "stuart campbell1" back to "stuart campbell". Save your NetInfo changes, quit, logout, cross your fingers, and log back in.
I realize this is very complicated and more than you really want to do. I don't see any way around it. It is very difficult to know exactly what state your system is in and exactly what is going to work and what won't. A trip to the Apple Store or a similar place might be a good idea. I say might because there is no guarantee they can fix it either. There are still way too many steps that say "If this works" and "try this".
There are some key things to remember and do in any case. Try to open that disk image and get your files out.
Don't fiddle with any account security settings until your files are out of there.
Once your data is secure (or rather - in a safe place), you can feel free to fiddle with account settings and swap out those directories to get back to a good state. I can assure you that it will take a bit of fiddling and may not work at all. Just get your files out there and we can get you up to speed again after that. -
I have plugged my new Iphone 5 into a computer with itunes that had an iphone 4s registered with it. So when I plugged in my Iphone to the laptop I may have clicked something because I was looking to just add the music from the Itunes to my phone. I am a new iphone user and dont really know what I did and am seeking assitance because I have also now lost all my contacts (which have been synced entired to the laptop I lost all my original files and was synced the files from the other iphone4s users profile.) I have also lost the link to locate my personal hotspot when i entir the settings home page. I am wondering I have downgraded my phone or something. What can I do to get my personal hotspot back?
Restore it from the last backup you made on YOUR computer or iCloud.

Hi. How do i get my photos And books stored on iCloud?i have lost my pdf files during my last sync.
Hi. How can i get Baco my documents from iCloud? I have lost my pdf list Wikipédia sync. I solda lime to get my PDS Back that are suppose to be on iclouds?
You should be able to copy iTunes purchases (which should include PDFs in the iBooks app even though they aren't purchases) off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases.
On Windows 7 your backup should be stored under :
\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
But without restoring onto a device you probably won't be able to make much sense of the backup files.
If you want to copy off photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer

I have lost sound on loud speaker, ipad2 says I am on headphones when I am not. Testing ringer comes through speakers but nothing else. I am not muted nor are notifications. Complete novice on iPad. help
Do NOT reset anything in your settings. Try the reset this way.
Reset (holding Home and Sleep/Wake until Apple logo appears, then releasing and letting normal reboot continue).
In the event that you did miss something in the system sounds settings, this may help you to better understand how they work.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
