HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

If they are not in your photostream, camera roll or computer you may be able to restore if you have backup from the time that pictures were there. Do you?

I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake. Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.

They would be wherever you put them.
They would only be on your computer if you imported them. You would have selected a program and/or location and imported them as you would with any digital camera.

My laptop computer was stolen six months ago. I had over 100 purchases from itunes on that laptop. I recently got a new laptop. Is there any way I can recover my purchases from itunes on to my new laptop?

Hi I connected my phone to my pc to charge it and it auto synced I had videos on the phone of my sisters wedding is ere anyway to get these back once the sync has been completed. I attempted to load the backup created before the sync but it didn't changed anything. Please help as Hess videos are very importan to me

Photos/videos captured by the iPhone which are stored in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not touched or included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup.
If these were videos that were captured by your iPhone, they weren't removed from your iPhone's Camera Roll by syncing with iTunes alone, which is not possible.
What else was done besides syncing? Even if this could be done by syncing with iTunes alone, there is no setting under any of the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes that has anything to do with or affects the Camera Roll.

I recently lost my itunes files due to a virus on my computer and didn't back them up, is there any way I can redownload them?

So does anyone know if there is anyway that I can redownload my purchases that I lost due to a virus and didnt not back up? This is the first time it has happened to me!

You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
No backup is not good.
You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

My daughter has been trying to buy 78 games on the app store but didn't know the password. Now it won't let me download any free apps without entering my billing info, I don't want to in case it charges me for the games? Is there any way I can clear them

Hello all
My daughter has tried to download paid apps, she is three so is forgiven but I don't want them and certainly don't want charging for them.
Only issue is its now wanting me to enter billing info when I download a free app

How can I get a prepaid iTunes card?
Buy one from the Apple Store or retailer who sells them. Since you don't say where you are, I can't tell you specific store names.
How much is it?
They're issued in denominations. In the US, they start at $10.
what would be the procedure for me to pay that money I owe, since I dont have another credit card?
Redeem a prepaid card or gift certificate.
Your only other option would be to contact the iTunes Store, explain the problem, and ask if they'll cancel that 99-cent purchase. There's no way of knowing if they will since the terms of sale state that all sales are final, but you can ask. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to contact them.
Regards.
