I have lost a lot of Albums since I tunes changed

Any one else had this problem ? how do you get old Library back ups restored, they just will not open on my MAC IT STINKS

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Have new PC with windows 8. I own photoshop elements 9 and I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging, how do I retrieve them?

    I own elements 9.  All files were backed up to a external hard drive and then downloaded to a new PC, with windows 8.  I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging.  How do I retrieve all of this back into Elements 9?

    It appears that you have made a backup via Windows and not via the integrated backup/restore process in the organizer. Since the albums and tagging are stored in catalogs, they are lost unless you also made a backup of the catalogs themselves.
    The correct way to move your catalog(s) and images to a new computer:

  • HT204053 hi i have updated my icloud and i have lost a lot of my Passwords that i had saved on my Notes

    hello I have updated my icloud and i have lost a lot of my Passwords that i have stored on my Note can you help me ???

    I found the culprit in my case:  after update to itunes 12 iPhone is X GB over the limit. 
    Check your sync settings for each type of content in the left sidebar.  In my case I had sync turned off for everything but ringtones.   After iTunes update for some reason the entire music library is set to sync with the phone.  Turning it off reconciled the storage issue.   Perhaps in your case it is some other new content marked for syncing.

  • Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

    Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

    I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
    So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

    Try connecting the device to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.  Use the instructions in this Apple support document to place the iPod into recovery mode.

  • HI, Idid a up grade of my osx mauntain lion and it cancelled all my document, bookmarks and mailboxes it is normal? I have lost a lot of data bacons of it because i did not do the back up of all my files just the back up of my photos. . .what can i do

    HI,
    Since a while I have received from apple the warning for an up grade for my Os x Mountain Lion and finally I decider to do it. . . . and since it was just an up grade I DIDN'T DO A BACK UP of all the content of my book pro because I thought it wasn't necessary . . . .but when I did it . . . . .it cancelled me all my files in documents, most of all my mail boxes in mail and most of my bookmarks in safari.
    I do not understand why; since i did not change my os but just did an up grade of my existing one. . . . . .result I lost a lot of data and I do not know what to do.
    Is this normal that it cancelled data in my documents folders and in others parts of my mac pro ?? ? ? . . . .ad if it is so why don't you write a warning saying that before going through  with a simple up grade  of your OS of your computer everybody should do a back up of everything it has in it ?!?!?!
    Buongiorno,
    Da qualche tempo mi era avvivato l'annuncio da vii di apple che c'era un ap grade per il mil system operative per il mio Os x mountain lion e alls fine ho deciso di faro . . . . .siccome era solo un au grade del systema operativo e non un cambiamento per un Os più recente non ho fat to un back up di tutti il contenuto del mio mac pro . . . .ma dope averlo fat to l'up grade ho realizzato che il procedimento mi aveva cancellato tutti i file contenuti nei midi document, le mailbox che avevo create in mail e i bookmarks che avevo create in safari . . . . . .e forse anche altre cose che non ho ancora visto.
    Ma è normale che questo succeda e se si perchè insiemme all'annuncio di dover fare un'up grade non mettete anche una segnalazione sul fatto che prima di procedere è consigliato  fare un back up di tutti i datti che si ha nel computer ?
    Io adesso mi trovo nella scomoda posizione di aver perso dei dati importanti con perdita di tempo e lavoro.

    What happened isn't normal, but does demonstrate why you need a backup, preferably two.

  • ITunes9 Home Sharing...I have lost a lot of music!! Help!

    Since enabling Home Sharing, I noticed a lot of duplicate songs in my library. I started deleting them, and now the original songs won't play. There is an exclamation mark next to the song title, and I get a message that asks me to locate the original song. When I go to my back up file, which I created prior to enabling Home Sharing, the songs are not there. I could just cry! I have lost probably over 1000 songs. Is there any way to recover this music, or am I SOL?!
    What a crappy application!

    I hope you have been backing up to Time Machine and can go to iTunes from a few days ago and reinstall all your missing songs. Otherwise, no answers are immediately apparent. I have caused a similar phenomenon when deleting duplicate emails, which is a real teeth gnasher, but not as bad as loosing music.

  • I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some.  I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates.  Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

    I have lost the pictures in most of my albums.  After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.  Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?  My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it  was not.  Help

    Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
    , I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
    Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos  from your iPhoto library.
    Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
    Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
    Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events,  just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
    iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
    If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos.  If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
    For example,
    Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
    usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
    My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it  was not.
    I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?
    Regards

  • I have downloaded OS X Mavericks, however, for some reason I have lost a lot of my files. Why is this?

    are these files recoverable?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Some users reported the lose of data after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. However, this was caused because Mavericks create a new user account, so all your files are on the other user account.
    Go to  > Log Out, and log in to the other account, so you will be able to access to your files. You can remove the other user in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    If you haven't got any other account, you lost your files unless you have got a backup. In this case, there are data recovery apps that may help you do that task
