HELP! QUICK! how to RESTORE accidently deleted folders in ITUNES??

how do i restore a folder that i accidently deleted that i created in itunes? ***** because all of those playlists were deleted too!

nope didnt work. i just luckily had a backup copy of the library before i started making the folders. deleted the current library (after backing it up), copied the older backup library into the folder, loaded itunes, exported the playlists that were accidently deleted, closed itunes. I then deleted current library, copied later library into folder (second backup) and then imported the playlists, thus creating them again and adding them to the newly created folder.

  • How to restore pictures deleted while using itunes

    hi
    i need urgent help
    my important pictures were delted by itunes when i was trying to put some new pictures fromm my computer..as i have these pictures no where else..
    is there any procedure to recover these back...
    thankx

    You transferred photos from your computer to your iPhone and then erased the photos from your computer?
    If so, the iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as an external storage or backup storage device. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. The original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone. If you delete photos from your computer that were transferred to your iPhone, the photos will be removed from your iPhone with the next sync. Photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How to restore a deleted built-in app (Maps)?  App disappeared: IOS 4 & 3GS

    Does anyone know how to restore a deleted built-in app?
    In my case the Maps app disappeared. According to other posts in this forum you cannot delete a built-in app such as Maps but it has happened on my iPhone 3GS.
    I'm running IOS 4.
    Morrow

    If you are unable to locate the Maps app you can still access it from the Spotlight search window. Just type in Maps, look for the familiar interstate 280 icon, tap there and you will enter the Maps app. This will work for you until you can locate the icon, which hopefully you will.

  • How to restore a deleted contact

    How to restore a deleted contact

    I've seen a number of posters claim to see recovered contacts after a restore, only to see them disappear again a few seconds later. From this I assumed that contacts are backed up but overwritten by iCloud when syncing commences again, because iCloud was technically the most current version.
    In response to these reports, I have put together the following advice:
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete the iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    I have also noted that other users have found this to work.

  • Accidently deleted both my itunes library files

    I accidently deleted both my itunes library files and because I restored them back from my recycle bin I seem to have managed to overwrite them with empty files, I still have all my music files that i can import back in to my itunes but how do i get my playlists back? The only place they are stored is on my ipod. I have never been able to do a backup becuse you have to do one to disk and don't seem to have the option to back up to a hard drive and since havn't found any disks that store 160gb i haven't ever been able to backup itunes.  I have a portable hard drive and have all my music backed up to it but not a backup that contains the playlists, does anyone know how to get them back

    Each time you restart iTunes it assumes that all the tracks are where it thinks they are. The exclamation marks only show up if iTunes attempts to do something with the files and cannot find them.
    Possible causes are that you or some third party tool like WIndows Media Player have moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has changed drive letters. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you might be able to reconnect iTunes to them using my FindTracks script. To start with test it out on a handful of tracks that show up as missing in action. If it can find & repair the links to those throw larger selections at it until everything is connected.

  • HT4061 How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?

    How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?

    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
    Click Restore.
    After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
    If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
    Additional Information
    If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
    Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successfu, see the options below.
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    "The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
    "iTunes was unable to verify your device."
    Resolution
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.

  • How can I recover deleted photos without iTunes backup, How can I recover deleted photos without iTunes backup

    I am a new user to the ipad  Purchased a mini.  Took prom pictures and promptly deleted them from my Camera Roll.  I have not backed up to iTunes.  Is there a way to recover them from my mini?

    Even if you haven’t backed up your iPad with iTunes manually, iTunes might have backed up it automatically each time you sync your iPad with iTunes. If you have enabled iCloud, every time, your iPad is connected to Wifi and a power source, and the screen is locked, iCloud will automatically backup your photos. So try to restore the deleted photos from iTunes or iCloud backup first if the backups were created before the deletion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you don’t want to restore your iPad with an out-of-date backup, erase all the content and settings on your iPad, and go back to an older iOS version, try to extract your iPad photos from your iTunes or iCloud backup with the iPhone backup extractor.
    Other than restoring from iTunes or iCloud backup, there are still at least 3 other solutions for you to recover deleted photos on iPhone (also works for iPad):
    Extracting from previous iTunes backup;
    Retrieving directly from iPhone;
    Copying from other backups.
