How to restore Lost References ?

I moved my music data from an USB drive to a NAS drive in the network. This also changed the drive letter assigned to the iTunes Music Folder location.
I updated the location in iTunes after moving the files.
But iTunes does not find the files any more.
The file structure is 1:1 and the only thing that changed is the drive letter going from E:\... to L:\...
Any chance to get the references restored? Since I did make edits in the database (such as Genre, BPM, etc) and created many playlists I am wondering what kind of trick I can use or what I did wrong.
Thanks for any advise.
Joe

How to restore lost Finder preferences in 10.6.5?

Running 10.6.5 on a MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz i5.
In each Finder window, I had, over months and years, set up a specific setting according to my needs:
Some windows had different background color;
Some windows were set to list view, some to icon view;
Some had icons of a certain size, some had icons of a smaller or larger size;
Various windows were sized and arranged on the screen to meet various requirements;
and most importantly, in each window the icons in icon view were often arranged in a specific organizational pattern.
In fact, this is how I organized my work flow -- moving icons from one area of a Finder window to another to represent their various stages of completion in projects.
I've been using Finder this way for years, never a problem.
But after a recent Shut Down and Restart, for no apparent reason, ALL of my existing Finder preferences were wiped away for every window.
Now, all windows have been reset to have the same background color, all windows the same size and the same location on the screen, all be in icon view, have the icons all be the same (maximum) size, and worst of all all rearranged alphabetically in a grid. All my customization was wiped clean, and all windows reset to what I presume was the default appearance.
No data or files were lost, as far as I can tell. The computer seems to be functioning perfectly as it always does in every other way. The only thing that went wrong was that the Finder preferences were zeroed out and reset.
For most people, this really wouldn't be much of a problem, as they don't really use the Finder icons and windows to organize concepts and workflow as I do; but for me this is a disaster, because now I've lost track of all sorts of "information" encoded in how each window appeared and how icons were arranged.
I could laboriously by hand try to restore each window to how I thought it was, but there are literally hundreds or thousands of windows, each containing in some cases hundreds of icons representing hundreds of work files in various stages of completion, and the whole process would take me weeks to get it back to the way it was, and even then it would certainly be inaccurate, as I'd be relying on my memory.
So my question is: Is there any way to get back and restore my Finder preferences to the way they were before this mysterious "Finder Amnesia Event," or whatever it was? Or do i just resign myself to accepting this setback and go about restoring each window's set-up by hand?

No, probally not.
But there are security issues with 10.6.5 and you really need to Apple menu> Software Update to 10.6.8 right away.
Perhaps that's is what caused it?

How to restore Lost App Tabs and Tab Groups

I make a lot of use of App tabs and Tab Groups. Today at startup of FireFox it showed only 1 blank tab with the default FireFox startup page. As far as I know there wasn't anny update recently.
I have lost session restore before but then FireFox start page showed me the option te restore it, this isn't the case now. Also the restore session button in the menu is grayed out.
Is there anny way to restore my tabs?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using FF 5 under Windows Vista.

As well as having had this problem a couple of times on different machines, both immediately after upgrades, I also use the synch capability so that tab groups from more than one machine can be accessed from any of the others - a really useful capability. It's really frustrating to have lost everything and have to try to recreate things from history. It occurs to me that the contents of my sets of groups are stored on a synch server somewhere so they ought to be recoverable from the hopefully, periodic automatic server backups - only problem is, how to access them? unlikely to be possible at this stage!
In this context, a useful enhancement would be a capability to make user-created named backups of all current groups of tabs which could later be restored at will; any upgrade process should also automatically create such a backup for the user so that the problem of lost groups of tabs would be solved. In addition it would give users additional flexibility to create groups of groups - accessed by the save/restore mechanism - say for development, personal or social or whatever.

How to restore lost music back onto iPod?

Background: A few days ago, I synced my iPod. Not sure exactly what I did, but something cause all of my videos and music to be deleted from my iPod during the sync. Anyhoo, I noticed afterward that, under "On My Device," all of my songs and playlists were still intact (as if they are hidden on my iPod, or at least the data is saved somewhere). How do I get what I see on my computer screen to go back onto my iPod?
And also, what does the sync button do in the below picture? Does it put computer stuff--> iPod, or put iPod stuff-->computer?

Thanks for reading.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
The sync button does it want is says. However. it looks gray and thus not active.

How to restore lost playlists?

My daughter recently logged onto my computer (using her individual screen name) and opened ITunes. She later logged off her screen name, and I logged on.
when I logged on and opened ITUnes, all of the songs which historically appeared in ITunes were missing. It was blank. I opened the file on my hard drive which contained my songs and imported all of them back into ITunes. So far, so good. However, I observed that none of my playlists were restored. Is there a way to do this, short of manually recreating each one?
One thought occured to me. I have not connected my Ipod to my computer since this mishap occurred. This means that the playlists on my Ipod are still in their original condition. Is there a way to upload the playlist info from the Ipod to Itunes?
Any help would be appreciated.

How to restore lost notes

Any help on an iPhone Notes glitch that just erased valuable Notes? It kept 3 old Notes and erased 4 new Notes.
I was just getting used to this and now the rug is swept from under me :(

Let me add to my own comments... If this is a fr€^king sync issue then there should be some restoration function, right? How the H. can any software or program update itself and not be able to restore? I'm no techie but Apple should be held accountable for this sloppy performance.

How to restore lost data after accidentally syncing iPhone to new computer?

So, I've been reading around the forum on the correct stepst to syncing an iPhone to a new computer in order to keep all data. Unfortunately, I only saw these discussions AFTER automatically syncing my iPhone with my new computer. So all my phone contents and settings are gone and only my apps remain, because they're still on my iTunes. My question is: is there are painless way where I can restore all my lost data (e.g. contacts, phone setting, VPNs, camera roll photos, messages, etc.) onto my phone again?

lucky you have something left. in my case, i lost my first iphone so i bought a new one and im trying to register for online support and syncing it i just lost all the data in the new phone... all i have is this emergency call on the screen...please help....

How to restore lost video

I recorded a video and it didn't save. I pressed saved. Can it be retrieved?

You can type in your account id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and log into it. In terms of your content, then if they are still in the store you can re-download apps via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, and ibooks via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to re-download your music, films, tv shows via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - if you aren't in a country where they can be re-downloaded, or if they are no longer in the store, then you will need to re-sync them from your computer's iTunes.
For your photos, if they weren't originally synced from a computer then they should be in your backup - if the restore didn't copy them back then was the backup taken after they were taken with the iPad ?
