I accidentally deleted the actual folders in my history "library." I need to get them back/make new ones. How can I do this?

I have searched support but only find answers like "wait a few days and the folders will return." I need all the standard folders back like "today", "yesterday", "last 7 days", etc. Thank you.

Apologies for jumping in. This will not be a quick fix or even a complete fix, it may not even work; but it may be important you act quickly to get any fix!
Better still swap the HDD over and use another OS to clone and recover !
I guess it depends on exactly what you did, and the efforts you are prepared to use to attempt to recover the History.
Immediately back up your Firefox profile. That at least preserves your rolling bookmarks backups and whatever History you do have. Preferably back it up to another machine.
Now consider leaving that computer alone and using another machine. You can always load that profile on another machine and use it (or preferably yet another copy of it) and see what it contains. (search for a colon : that covers most History)
Assuming you did delete the history then with luck and timely action you may get some of it back using an undelete utility. (Followed maybe with a sqlite editor to stitch portions back together) download something like recuva : http://www.piriform.com/recuva
Recovering a whole profile or a whole history is difficult and probably unlikely, but I seem to recall some have succeed with this in the past.

I accidentally deleted photos on my ipod touch, is their a way to get them back

hello everyone,
i accidentally deleted photos i need, can you get them back.i havent made a back up with the photos i need, i tried alot of programs to get them back but that didn't help. i heard that when you delete photos from a portable device like ipod, the photo itself isn't deleted, just the space containing the deleted photos is now marked as free space so it is available to the system for other new files to be written there instead. Do you know where deleted phtos are stored? Can you please help me, is there a photo recovery that actuallyworks, and what is it?
Thank you all for your help

They are gone.
Sorry.
You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.

I've deleted the recently added and recently played tabs and want to get them back, how?

Hi
I've deleted the recently played, and recently added tabs on the left hand side of itunes, but I now want to gewt them back. I've tried to look online for solutions but they don't work, I get the icon up again, but nothing gets added. Am I doing something wrong.
Heres what I've done - Go to file - Create new smart playlist - then in the box marked random, drop down box to most recently added - then name the folder when it appears on the left. Thats great, but nothing appears in that folder. I've also tried clicking on the + sign bottom left then hitting shift, which brings up the same box, but it still doesn't work..... Help!

You need to specify what the values/attributes are for the two smart playlists. The below screenshots are from iTunes on my Mac (as that is what I'm currently logged in on), but I assume that the values are the same as they would be on windows :

I accidentally deleted the "camera icon" on my iphone, is there anyway to get it back without resetting the whole thing?

Yeah, I just got the iphone on friday so I'm going to be one of those people..
I was holding the phone while I was helping my sister get the dogs settled in the car and I must have been pressing onto the camera icon and I didn't even realise it until I looked down after a few minutes and the icon was gone. I was just hoping someone could help me out with that. Please and thank you.

Go to settings, general - restrictions - camera....make sure it is turned on. I did the same thing with my camera icon and this step fixed it.

HT201272 When iTunes was upgraded to the lastest (11.0), many of of songs/music/audiobooks were deleted! I tried syncing my phone to my computer to get them back, but many of those were deleted too!   How do I get my purchases back to play them???

It shows on iTunes SOME of my past purchases, but not all (looks like around 30-40% of purchases).    It shows on my apple id purchase history everything i have purchased; but in iTunes, some not all of these show up.    What does show up is kind of "greyed out", so NOTHING will actually play.   I have followed the steps in the iTunes support about how to redownload past purchases, but this dowsn't work, as the download button is also "greyed out".
I am extremly angry and upset about this issue. Could someone please help / advise re how to fix????

I'm hoping that this may be just a misunderstanding somewhere.
Could you show an image showing these greyed out items?

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! please help

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! i never backed up on itunes ..please help

No. The contacts are "owned" by the Exchange server.
The Exchange server is owned by the company.
Everything on the Exchange server is owned by the company.
If you quit or were terminated, and your access to the system has been revoked, then there is nothing you and do at this point. Once you deleted the account from your phone, all of the associated data was deleted.
NEVER store personal information on company systems.

On my iphone, when I get into Messages, I see a list of message thread names and at the top right is an icon with a square and pencil coming out of it. If I tap it, I can begin composing a new message with having to deal with any others.
If on your screen you see one or more message "bubbles", then press the "Messages" button at the upper left to go back to the home page for messages. There you can tap the compose icon.

I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

Where are you located?
Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

What kind of iPod are you getting to replace it? If it is an iPod Touch, and you are in the US, after you set up the Touch you can use the iCloud beta and download your previous music, books and app purchases directly to your Touch.

I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.
