How to restore tunes loaded by a friend

Hi - I was given a shuffle as a present that had been preloaded with tunes for me. The first time I connected the shuffle to my PC I managed to erase everything...
Given that the person who loaded the shuffle is the other side of the world... is there any way of reloading the same tunes without sending the shuffle back to them???
I can see that different computers can be authorized and deauthorized. I haven't downloaded anything from iTunes yet so haven't authorized my PC for the shuffle - I am assuming that the shuffle itself isn't 'authorized' just the process of downloading tunes. Can a PC have two different authorizations at the same time? or is it possible to switch between my own authorizations?
Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.

  • How to restore movies loaded on my 1st Gen Apple TV back to the computer

    I just pulled a major dumb move. I deleted all of my movies from my computer. I am not worried about my iTunes movies because I can restore those. I am talking about the 30 or so movies that I have converted from my DVD collection. Presently, they are still loaded onto my Apple TV (1st Gen). If I simply synch, will they reload to my Computer (Windows 7)?
    HELP! 

    No.  AppleTV was never intended as a storage device.
    If you sync you will lose items not in iTunes from AppleTV too.
    Always wise to backup media - less of an issue with iTunes purchases than it used to be, but even they can occasionally disappear from the store if they are no longer for sale.
    (BTW discussing DVD conversion is not allowed by Apple even if you own those DVDs yourself and feel this is fair use - the laws vary around the world but Apple forum T&Cs make it best for you to avoid such discussions).

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive.Cant play any music as it "can't find" the library  Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing.   How to restore back to original state . I have tried re-installing  - with no change

    I do the same thing as you do...
    My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
    There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
    1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
    2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
    I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
    If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
    To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
    I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
    You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

    You have to put the iPod touch into the recovery mode.

    I do not see the icloud icon in my settings.  How do I restore or load it?

    I do not see how you could not have iCloud in the settings if you are running iOS 5 or higher. If you are running iOS 6, it should be directly below the Privacy Setting.

  • How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process

    How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process
    I use SAP-B12005SP53 and i develop with Business Partner Object

    HI ALL
    TAKE CARE: Nothing was working in VB6, but in .NET it sets the default value !
    from help of VS.
    When you assign Nothing to an object variable, it no longer refers to any object instance. If the variable had previously referred to an instance, setting it to Nothing does not terminate the instance itself. The instance is terminated, and the memory and system resources associated with it are released, only after the garbage collector (GC) detects that there are no active references remaining.
    Garbage Collector distroyes the objects at the end of the sub of function, not in the loop.
    So use local variables when you loading the 7000 items. For me working fine and i do not have a memory problems. I am loading 50000 items with prices from EDI file, and memory usage stops at 120MB.
    1st solution  create a sub or a function to populate the data, and run this for every items by as single rutin,
      sub x
        Dim obj As New Object()
            Try
    ... put here your update code
            Catch ex As Exception
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
      end sub
    This free up the memory when Garbage
    2nd solution: use inner loop definition
      sub x
    Try
                Do While True
                    Dim obj As New Object()
                Loop
            Catch ex As Exception
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
      end sub
    This free up the memory inside the loop.
    I recommend to use Friend Class keyword for your addon declaration and do not use modules.
    Modules and shared classes will be free up the memory when your program terminates execution.

  • My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

    My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black).  Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks.  I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF.  I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those.  I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card.  I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

    Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want.  Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums.  Other than that you might have to input them manually.  Mary

  • How to restore a hard drive through another computer?

    My mid-2007 iMac would not load up past the white screen. I tried everything and was unable to get the hard drive to boot up. I took it to the Apple store but due to the age if the machine they would not attempt to fix it. They were not able to boot the computer off an external drive or network. I removed the hard drive to salvage any data I could. I hooked it up to my Mac mini via a SATA enclosure. I was able to remove my photos, music, etc. I now want to restore the hard drive in a last ditch effort to try and save my computer. I have the drive pulled up in disk utility on my Mac mini. I verified the disk and attempted to repair the disk. Both times I received the message: "Error: Unrecognized file system" I am unsure how to restore this disk so I can return it to the iMac and try and get it to load up. Any other ideas?

    If the disk cannot be repaired, then try erasing and reformatting it using Disk Utility. If unable, then try with a different disk repair app, such as DiskWarrior, Drive Genius, or TechTools Pro. If still no go, get a new bare HD to put into the iMac.

  • How to Restore iPhoto Library from BackUp?

    My iPhoto library has gone blank, although its trash has the 4,555 images. And all organization, albums, keywords, photo names, gone. Recently my backup storage, where library kept, went blank. I got a new backup, and a pro restored most of old data, and transfered to new one. So, I have the Library on the new backup, and need to restore it in the iPhoto Library, rather than create a new one, which as I understand will lose albums, keywords, etc. A friend says that way to hold down a key when opening iPhoto that will have it look for old library and restore? Not in Help or elsewhere.
    I had a MacBook Pro, when this first happen. Now have iMac and have iLife 09, but don't want to instal it until photo library restored.
    Sounds basic, but how to restore.
    Thanks,
    Armando

    Armando
    The simplest way to restore is to put the Library in the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' To select a Library.

  • How to restore data files from a purchased app that isn't working

    I recently had to reset my iPad after an ios7 problem with hyperlinks.  The reset fixed the hyperlink problem but now I can't open excel or word files created in a purchased application, productivity suite.  When I click on the file, it starts to open then switches back to the app icon.  Tried deleting and reinstalling the app and now all the files are gone from my iPad.  I backed up my iPad to my desktop before deleting the app but can't figure out how to restore just the files I need. 

    You should be able to mount the partition once you've loaded up the live CD. Just figure out which one it is by using
    fdisk -l
    then mount it to /mnt or wherever you want it.
    As for moving/saving them, I'm not entirely sure how to get them onto an external server. You might have to mount another partition in order to install any apps that you need to connect to an external server, but wait for someone who really knows to answer before you try it. If you're only talking about 4 or 5 MB, I would just mount a USB stick and dump them on there.

  • Lost all my playlists and some music - how to restore?

    I'm running itunes on XP and when I booted iTunes today, all my playlists were missing and lots of music.
    I don't know of any major crashes or problems with my maching, but the music is gone from iTunes. I went to "mycomputer" and actually found all the tunes, but iTunes cannot find them, and of course, I lost all the playlists. (I've got multiple playlists for each family member and 2 bands in which I play....)
    Any ideas on how to restore the playlists and tunes? Why won't iTunes find the music that is actually in the iTunes music folder? I know i could probably drag all the tunes into iTunes again, and then make new playlists but it would take a lot of organizing......grrr
    Also, I have almost everything saved on my iPod. Is there some way i can transfer it all back to iTunes from my iPod?
    thank you,
