I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know! I hope it's something quite simple?
Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums.

The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

HT1933 Apple store charge twice to my credit card the price in game that I recenttly bought and there is not way to contact them it look more like a maffia.

To whom it may concern at apple store. On 12 2013 I bought a game to my son and for some reason i bean charge twice for the same game
apple receipt #204050687617 and 204050687618 first it was a message that my account was expired and say try again and after that apple is charging
twice to my credit card. When I just need to be charge one.

Yes, you should not be charged twice for a purchase, but as a user and not an Apple employee there is not much I can do except try and point you to the Apple people who can resolve this for you.

TS3274 my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube? I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent. It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube? I am able to make phone calls and hear everything just fine. but otherwise my iPhone is silent. It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.

I have now lost my movie folder in itunes n my computer is there any way to replace the folder??

I have now lost my movie folder within itune on my computer, is there anyway to replace or put in a folder for movies

Uh, the developer forums is not the place to ask a question about iTunes.
Which kind of computer. A Mac or Windows? No matter, the answer is to use your backup you make of your computer against this kind of loss.

All of a sudden I can't open my iPhoto library. I get a message that says "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. It takes me to this page. Bought MacBook Pro 11/2012. Don't have a clue as to version of IPhoto

Is this library one that you've been using since you bought the MBP? If so and you're running iPhoto 9 then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
