I felt like i'm about to die...

Sorry if my post is chaotic but i'm just blown away right now...
What i did...
I moved buch of apple loops from -----User>Library>audio>apple loops>Apple loops for garage band
to ----HD>Library>application support>Garage band>apple loops>Apple loops for garage band
then i took them and added them in to the loop browser in logic...
after a moment logic crashed..
I've start it up again but i took me to the set up assistant...i was like...what???
i did a restart of my mac...and my HD was about 50GB of data lighter!!!!
All my logic projects,my mp3,my pictures,and some applications (like skype) are gone from my computer!!!ther's no trace of them!!! i lost few catalogs aswell...
I mean seriously...i was working on pc some time ago but i've never heard about any spontanious data deleting stories...i'm with mac about 4 months...what the#@^## just happened why i lost 50 Gb of data...
any ideas????
If someone knows please help...is there a way to get this data back? or maybe it's still somwhere on my mac???(thou i doubt...the numbers don't lie)...
drowning in tears...

Keep this in mind when working with getting things up and running:
Like previously mentioned, don't write anything new to the HD. My understanding is that the computer, when it "erases" files, just makes them available to be written over. The information is quite possibly still on the HD. You should really try using the disc that came with your computer to run a utility. Did you buy your machine new?
I like to keep a backup of my HD. I purchased a decent HD from EZQuest for about $125 bucks. I also (when i finish with a track, or if i am uber-paranoid) back it up on DVD. Re: My back up HD. I just keep it off until it is time to back up...then turn it on, dump the new info on and go from there.
Best of luck retrieving your data.

    You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.

    I already have itunes on my computer but i just went to the apple store and they helped me download iOS 7 on my phone but my computer says i need a newer version of itunes to be able to sync my phone. i went to the apple website and started to install itunes and it says its "processing additional packages" but the bar has not moved or even shown up at all and it has been like that for about 30 minutes.

    Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on.  Then see if you can access Settings.

  • I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

    I like ti known about compatibility between Windows 8 and iTunes

    It works for some and not for others.
    At this time, there is no publicly available version of iTunes that is supported on Windows 8.
    Only Apple knows when that will change.

  • Help, my hard drive is about to die and icloud won't let me sign in it's saying you can't sign in becauseof server error

    Help, my hard drive is about to die and icloud won't let me sign in it's saying "you can't sign in becauseof server error"

    The best approach would be to take the iPad to the school's IT person and see what is going wrong, why it will not accept your sign-in.  That person can make sure the userid and password are correct on the iPad.

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

  • My G5 won't boot up. The Gray screen comes on and it thinks about it until the fan revs up like it is about to explode. A friend said to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. Didin't work. Any suggestions? Isn't there a key stroke to help

    Oh, so this is where I ask my question. Sorry, first time here. As I was saying in my long intro, the gray screen come up and the thing is spinning at the bottom, but nothing happens. Then the fan starts reving up like it is about to explode and I have to manually shut it off. A friend told me to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. I couldn't find the thing, so I went out and bought another. Needless to say, it didn't work. Is there a key stroke to help jump start the machine? How can I get into this thing? I would prefer not to take it in because there are a lot of things on there I don't want just anyone to have access to.Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    Your drive does need to be repaired, and best things to buy are another backup recovery drive, with a small OS X partition; a copy of Disk Warrior is expensive @ $90 but excellent and best.
    Never bother with or use the drive or reinstall while there are errors. Don't take a "clean' bill from Apple Disk Utility to mean there are no errors. Only that it didn't find what it looked for.

    Make sure to have multiple backup sets and of your system so if there is a serious problem, you can just erase and restore to be back runninig.
    Sounds like your G5 though needs PMU reset, not PRAM, and the best way for those is to clear nvram instead. might even want to check for dust; tell what System Profile says (later) as to "PowerMacX,Y" or "MacProX,1"

    The Utility menu is on the menu bar of an "OS X Install DVD" and at the point where you get to but stop at "install....' for OS X. you probably do need to install OS X on another drive to work from.
    Oh, a real severe issue and damage to the drive directory or filesystem CAN in cases prevent booting from DVD (the system still tries to find and see what boot volumes are present) and can help to pull or disconnect the drive. Putting a drive in a FW case to turn on after startup is very useful.

    I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
    I am from the Philippines.
    Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
    Thank you very much.

  • I would like to inquire about thepurchase of docs to go, with my old credit card. but I cancelledit due to fraud transactions. how can I retrieve docs to go and transferred it to my new ipad? without charges.?

                              I would like to inquire about my purchse for docs to go last 2013, in my ipad 2, using my old credit card Citybank , I cancelled the card because of fraud transactions, How can I be able to transfer the docs to go to my new ipad 4 ? the messageis there is a billingproblem.
                              Please advise.

    First of all, I suggest to remove the banned credit card from your account. If the banned credit card is still on the account, iTunes Store would sent a preauthorization request to the financial instute which would be declined as the credit card isn't active. To remove the credit card, please follow and choose "none":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918?viewlocale=en_US
    If "none" is not an option, the latest order is unpaid - maybe due to the fraud transactions. In this case you have to contact iTunes Store Support to clarify the order. If it is fraud, they can forgive the order. If the order wasn't fraud, then you have to pay first (just choose a active payment method or redeem a gift card).

    should comply with your requirements.
