Do you have a backup you can restore from?

  • Accidentally deleted iTunes, is there anyway I can download it again and have it just back up my iPod instead of clearing it of all data? All of iTunes files are still on my computer, but the actual program got deleted.

    I was trying to clear space on my C drive and decided to delete programs that I didn't use or that I didn't recognize. (Bad idea, I know that now.) Anyways, accidentally deleted a program that iTunes needed to run and the computer said it would undo the uninstall and restart to fix the problem but when it restarted iTunes was gone. So my question is, after I download iTunes again, is there a way I can just backup my iPod to it's last sync (which was coincidentally right before I accidentally deleted iTunes) instead it being cleared of all its data? All of iTunes' files are still on my computer except the actual program itself.

    Hi, InsaneCharlie. 
    Thanks for the question.  I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.  If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • I accidentally deleted the systems file on my macbook.

    In preparation for upgrading from Leopard 5.8 to Snow Leopard I backed up my entire macbook system to an external hard drive.  Then I deleted some files prior to installing Snow Leopard but I accidentally deleted the systems files.  I can't boot the system now.  How do I resolve the situation?

    Thanks for the reply.
    The backup was via Time Machine.
    No, I have not tried booting from the SL 6.0 disc using the c key or Option/alt key.  When do I push the option/alt key?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

  • How do I permanently delete photos? I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 and have tried shift cmd delete and that doesn't work.

    How do I permanently delete photos? I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 and have tried shift cmd delete and that doesn't work.

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

    What OS version are you on? You're not running iOS 6.1.2 on it.
    If you're on 10.7 or 10.8, try the recovery option:

  • I accidentally deleted my quicken files today.  how do i get them back?

    I accidentally deleted quicken today!
    Is there a way i can recover the files?
    all my financial data was in it

    Did you delete all of Quicken - the whole folder?  Or just the application?
    Edit:  Did you empty your trash?  Do not use the computer for new entries or you may write over your deleted file spaces.
    Meanwhile up in the right corner search area , enter: "retrieve deleted files".  Lots of help there.

  • Accidentally deleted book/album file...  What data file is it stored in?

    Hi. I accidentally deleted a book/album project from my iPhoto library. I've read through a few posts, and I understand that the book/album isn't a file in and of itself, but rather an entry in a data file.
    Is there any way to restore to yesterday's version of this data file?
    Which data file is that information stored in?
    I'm looking for any help whatsoever in trying to recover this particular album/book. I'm pretty computer-savvy... Is there ANY way to recover/restore this data?
    Thanks - please post a reply and also e-mail to [email protected] Thank you!

    I don't, unfortunately. I clicked on a book and accidentally deleted it. It seems silly that there isn't any way to recover this information, since it took so long to create, and since it was so easily and accidentally deleted... I'm feeling hopeless. Any suggestions?

  • I Accidentally deleted my music files!? wont allow me to play music?!

    My old iphone 4's lock button broke so i got a new iphone 4 and used my back up to put all of my stuff back on my iphone. Everything went back on it except for my music. I plugged it back into my Macbook and it synced for a while and then "There is no more space in your harddrive to continue to sync" popped up...it also said to delete items to clear space. So i went to my finder and i accidentally deleted like all of my music files! The music still shows up in my itunes library but when i click it to play the music, a pop up appears saying "Cannot locate this music file" or something like that and it has a button that says "LOCATE" so i press it and it tries to locate that music file but there is no music file there. Please help! i need my music back! thanks!

    You need to restore the files from the most recent backup of your computer.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases. -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you do not have other items backed up, you cannot restore them (because you do not have them in a backup to restore from).

  • Accidentally deleted a few files...

    Hey, I accidently deleted a few files:
    javascript.html
    javascript.js
    and one other I forgot, but it had to do with javascript.
    Anyone know if these are important and how to replace them if they are.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, yeah, I already deleted them a while back thinking they caused this annoying split second pop-up window, but they weren't the ones. Anyway, I think they were part of Dreamweaver, so I'll just leave it alone until it acts up, if it ever does. Thanks again.

  • I accidentally deleted hidden system files! Please help!

    Hi guys.
    Well after purchasing a mint MBP today running Mountain Lion, I wanted to "tidy up" the desktop and Finder. I saw many hidden files and thought it was very peculiar as my iMac hasn't got anything of the kind. I thought it could have been some files from a USB that were left there from previous usage. Anyway, I've ended up deleting key system files which now causes the MacBook to fail boot and keep restarting.
    I've attempted the highly recommended "Command R" function which gave me a choice of Time Machine Restore (system comes up with no backups), re-installation of Lion (which won't work because the system is running Mountain Lion) and a Disk Utility repair (which does its job but makes no difference on start up). I feel really upset and annoyed. The system had great installations of key apps I needed. I'd be sad to loose them but would be happy to just get the system rebooted and running from scratch.
    The system is a late 15" 2011 MACBOOK PRO with an i7 Quad 2.44 (or 2.66) processor, 4GB memory and a 750GB hard drive.
    What can I do? Is it just a case of take it to Apple so they can reboot it for you? And if that's the case will I be charged?
    Many thanks for the advice.
    Apologies if this is something you have heard before, it's a horrible feeling and I just want it fixed.
    Thanks.
    Hal.

    To install Lion that belongs to you will require you to repartition the drive first. You cannot do a simple reinstall of Lion over a Mountain Lion system. You will need to follow this guide instead:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This is the procedure you must go through because your hard drive does not have a Lion version of the Recovery HD.

  • I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail.  I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

    I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail.  I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this.  i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
    Regards JKG1135

    The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

  • When I click on the home icon - all tabs I've previoulsy used and have closed pop back up. Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7

    When I click on the home icon all the previous tabs I have used and have closed pop back up. I have Windows 7, 64 bit and I am using Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7.
    A few days a go I had installed iMesh, but FF took forever to load. I uninstalled iMesh and all my stored passwords were gone. I then did a system recovery. And everything was back to normal.
    Yesterday when I downloaded a video using youtube downloader I got a there's a newer version. I installed the newer version. After it was installed the previously closed tabs started popping up.

    Check your list of home pages, Firefox can store multiple home pages. For details of how to do that see the [[How to set the home page]] article.
