What happen if I lose the music files from my desktop but I have the music in my devices (ipad & ipod)?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

The iTunes on my desktop is no longer recognizing any of my devices (iPads, iPods, or iPhones). I am unable to sync. And when I connect a device I am asked on the device if I "Trust this Computer". When I hit "Trust" nothing happens. Help?

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

What happens if you lose a store credit from a apple store?

What happens if you returned something and got a store credit from the store, but lost the credit?

Was it a retail store or the on-line store. If it was the latter they should have a record of the receipt and be able to see if the receipt had been used (by you or someone else). With a retail store it may be more difficult unless it was a big item or with previous history.

They get a very cluttered desk-top and find it very difficult to find anything.

Basically, the computer thinks the music is 'lost'. Follow the prompts and try to locate it. It should navigate to the files and redraw the links which should make that pop up go away

Firmware update - what happens if I lose power?

First update on new iMac with Mavericks - what happens if I lose power during the installation? Had problems with my Macbook after this situation.

This is why backing up your data prior to any installation is a mandatory facet of using computers.

My iPad has been syncing for 18 hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing. What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done. Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

My iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud. Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay. No photos yet. iPad has 5 gb of photos on it. What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

What happens when we activate the infoarea or infoobjects

Hi All,
What happens when we activate the infoarea or infoobjects
Please can any suggest on this
Regards
Sameer khan

hi,
Info area - its an directory to hold all the infoproviders in it. also takes care of infoobjects created under it and the targets links.
IO - char and KF are there.
whenever you started creating the IA or IO it will be in M (modified/new version) while doing activation it gets changed status as A(active) version.
During activation the underlying tables gets generated and hence the corresponding table structures are kept ready to get data into them.

I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
An active Internet connection
You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.
