How to recover deleted back-up file(s) from iTunes?

I'm needing to figure out a way to recover back-up files that iTunes removed during the recent install to the update 11.0.1.
I went to back up my phone manually. (Which I've been doing for years) I've never used or enabled auto-sync. Before I start a back-up I re-name my phone in a format like this "iPhone0913" This is to eliminate any confusion. That iTunes might try to interpet as, a duplication of another back-up file. By it having the same name (Which I know it won't but I do it anyway) Before the installation of the new update. I had 8 back-up files all dated and in order with the name designation that I've proivded. For example: 1. iPhone0105 2, iPhone1106 etc. as the numeric designation is for the month and year. So Oct. 2005 was my oldest back up file.
Once the installation/update took place, I plugged my phone in and clicked on back-up to this computer. All was moving along as it should, since this was only a back-up. Not a back-up and restore!! At any rate, I went through iTunes to verify that the back-up was there. (As I always do) And low and behold.. GONE!!
The only back up that was showing, was the back-up of "iPhone0913" I did'nt go into panic mode at that point. Thinking that maybe iTunes moved or maybe archive the back-ups. I was trying to remain optimistic, but I knew there was'nt much that could be down. But maybe, I'm missing something.. I was able to locate 4 of 8 back up files. Only because I had backed them up from another drive.
I don't have Windows System Restore, enabled, So I was'nt able to recover that way. I'm still beside myself that this even took place.
At this point, I'm looking for any recommendations, sympathy.
Thanks in Advance for your help and support!

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

It depends upon what preferences settings you use. Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

Recover lost deleted corrupted music files tracks from iTunes match icloud

Just spent an hour on Apple's tech suypport line, all to figure out how to recover lost/deleted/corrupted music files/tracks from iCloud / iTunes Match. Here's how to do it:
ASSUMPTIONS: You're in iTunes on your computer, logged into your iCloud account.
Within iTunes, in the left-hand pane, select your Music library. Alll your tracks should appear in the right-hand pane. Those that are missing from your disk should be marked with an asterisk icon to the left of the track. Do the following...
...select all the missing/lost/deleted tracks (using the option button), and hit the delete button.
NOTE: when the delete dialog box comes up, make sure you do ***NOT*** click the "Delete from iCloud" selection!!!
...once deleted, select all the same tracks again, then hit the right mouse button, then select "Download".
All the tracks should start downloading, one by one, from iCloud.
NOTE: If I were you, I'd perform this operation on discrete chunks (no more than 500 at a time), just to be safe.
Good luck!

You can also recover the missing tracks from the backup you are keeping on an external HDD. You are backing up, aren't you?

How to recover deleted attached mdf file from sql server management studio

Hi everyone
I've faced very bad problem
I had a mdf file that created in visual studio, and then I had attached this file to sql server management studio and after that, when I wanted to deattach
this file I had a big mistake; and deleted the mdf file; then now this file was deleted from my computer
I test several recovery tools but they can't find deleted mdf file; the volume of the mdf file was more than 2 GB.
Please help me if you can

Hello,
If you don't have a backup of the database, then it's not really possible to get it back. There are some "Undelete" Tools available for Windows, but when even only one page was overwritten on disk, then it's not possible to recover it.

How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

How do you delete your credit card information from iTunes

I'm trying to delete my credit card information in iTunes off my ipad but its not giving me the option to. Yes I've tried settings>iCloud>apple I'd also I have tried settings>store>apple I'd . It just won't let me do it. Also I redeemed money from a gift card with iTunes but it won't let me do it because of my credit card.

If you go to settings/store click on apple id and view account, if you cant change your payment method to none then you prob owe a balance.<----this happened to me. To verify this login to your account on itunes on the computer and click purchase history. if it shows you owe a balance you will have to pay it before you can remove your payment info

HT201303 How do you delete your credit card info from iTunes?

I added my credit card info then my bf got me an iTunes card and I want to use the credit I have on that first but it just keeps going right to my credit card and won't let me use the credits I have. So i want to just delete my credit card. How do I do that?

I think you are mistaken. Store Credit is used first, then your credit card is used after. But if you are trying to buy a gift, you can't use store credit, so then it tries to use your CC.
If you have just changed anything in your billing, or making a purchase for the first time, it will ask to verify your CVV. This is normal, and does not mean it will charge the CC. It does this for preauthorization reasons, and other things we can't quite discuss here.

How do I delete my Visa gift card from iTunes?

So I got a visa giftcard and put it in my iTunes to get some music. But now I have used it all, and it will NOT let me download free apps, or even update apps. It keeps saying "Theres a billing problem with your previous purchase.Please update your payment method." I have read through some other discussions but I do not see the none option, and idk if I can go on the website and see if there is a none option because I don't have computers just a iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Would that work? Please someone help me! Nothing's working!

Hi Nya.jaquez
You have to pay the amount of songs you have purchased from iTunes.
If you don't have enough money in your credit card you can change the credit card to complete the purchases.
Go Settings>iCloud>Click on your Apple ID email account>Payment Information>Then change Payment Info.
Thank you.

TS4036 how can I view backed up files and delete things I don't need

how do I view backed up files and delete thing I don't need

You can't view individual files contained in the backup. You can control which apps are backed up, and whether or not the camera roll is included in the backup, by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tapping the name of your device under Backups, then looking under Backup Options.
