I have recently had some music files removed from itunes. The originals are still on my ipod. How do i restore these missing items to my itunes......

I have recently had some music files removed from itunes. This was not supposed to happen! However the originals (consisting largely of playlists) ae still on my ipd and I do not want to do any syncing until I have resolved the issue. Is there any way to restore these missing tunes from the ipod to my itunes? Grateful for any input........

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

So my airport extreme recently had some nat/dns issue and in the airport utility displayed a warning about it and to correct it. I wasn't sure what to do so i pressed the resolve icon and now my guest network is not working.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still some albums that I can't delete. Suggestion?

I have "un-synched" all music on my iPhone 5s, but there are still a few albums that were not deleted. When I check "On This Phone" in iTunes, those albums that remain show in dark print, while those deleted remain a lighter text. I have followed suggestions by others as to how to delete "All" music on the phone, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? Thanks!

First of all... You don't need a credit card to make an Apple ID.
To buy Paid apps, you can use an iTunes card or an Appstore card.
Also, I'm not sure you can download music you got from email to your music on your phone.
However, I think you can download the music you got from your email on your computer, transfer it to iTunes, and then sync your phone. That should work.
And I don't think you can share files via bluetooth with other phones.

It's version iPhoto '11. I sent the photos to the trash from in the resident iPhoto application, but not to the iPhoto trash, but the OS's trash in the bottom right task bar (Finder Trash).
Realizing what I had done, I dragged the picture folder back into the "Pictures" folder under my name in the Finder. I also dragged the iPhoto Library file back, but it said a new one had been created... I still attempted to replace the new with old iPhoto Library file.
The pictures are back and i can see the album names under events. The problem is that the album covers, nor the pictures themselves show up as thumbnails like they did before... they only show when you individually click on the photo to bring it into full view. I only see a grey background where the thumbnail was.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Evan

You should be importing ALL pics/videos taken with your iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera. particularly before any restore/update.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
You can redownload apps if you have failed to transfer them to your computer before restore/update.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

HT1349 I have a large Windows iTunes library (18k+ songs, 650+ movies, 2.4K TV shows) and since upgrading to iTunes 11 files are disappearing from my library. Some music files re-appear in the cloud which means I have to re-download and re-convert to MP3.

iTunes 11 is rapidly becoming a disaster for me. I have a dedicated Windows 7 machine running iTunes to service 3 Apple TV's, 2iPhones, 2iPods, and an iPad. Itunes 11 is very sluggish with my large library and has now started 'losing' files to the cloud. This means that music I purchased in 2005 is being removed from my library and subsequently seems to become available as a ne cloud download. This may well be because I convert all ACC files to MP3 and delete the ACC (my ears are too old to care about the reduction in quality). Either way, it's detrsoying my playlists and means I have to re-download files.
Does anyone know how to stop this? I have no interest in the cloud (my library is too big and contains hundreds of ripped CD's and Vinyl records that can't be matched).
Thanks

Because back in the early days very few devices supported AAC so converting to MP3 allowed me to use iTunes and other devices (like a $1000 dollar MP3 player with a 3.5" hard disk drive that pre-dated iPods ) as well as my gen 1 and 2 iPods. I can't hear the difference (I'm old...) so the files being smaller is still an advantage (even though I have 64Gb iPods and iPhones these days. Anyway, the major issue is iTunes deleting the MP3's and messing up my playlists because the file it downloads just goes in the library - not the original playlists. The secondary issue is how do I know it's truly replacing all the files it deletes. It's just scary and I don't like it.
BTW, I'm not anti-cloud and in fact use iCloud extensively with my iPhones/Apple TV's for photo sharing/backups but iCloud is useless for media sharing. I have just over 2tb of media data shared on my iTunes server (and remotely accessible on my iPhone/iPad using WebDav to my home server).
...and none of my media is pirated. I have crates of vinyl, CD's,DVD's, and Blu-Rays along with thousands of iTunes store receipts!

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can i relink files to the timeline sequence when i've deleted the source file path? All the attribute are still in the timeline, I just can't relink

So i started an edit and had the whole thing finished and ready to export in Final Cut X, when i went to export I had a message pop up say that it couldn't export while FCP X is still referencing media. I went through trying to solve the problem and ended up deleting the source media folders in the Final Cut Events folder and reimporting the clips. This lead to a whole can of worms opening up and now i'm left with a whole edit with 90% of the clips in the timeline unable to relink to source media.
Can anyone help?

First find the files. Then File>Relink Event Files and point to the folder.

Some of my thumbnails disappeared, but the photos are still in the iPhoto L

Can anyone help me to get my missing thumbnails back to the iPhoto window? Some of them disappeared for no apparent reason. The files themselves are still in the iPhoto Library folder (both original and modified folders), but they are not showing up in the iPhoto window as thumbnails. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks,

I'm afraid it didn't work. When I launched iPhoto while pressing Option + Command, I was given 4 options:
1. Rebuild the Photos' small thumbnails
2. Rebuild all the photos' thumbnails (this may take a while)
3. Rebuild the iPhoto Library database
4. Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder
I've tried #s 1 and 2, and they didn't work. I'm not sure what options 3 and 4 mean, so I don't know if I should try them.
Can anyone help? Thank you very much,

I have recently add some music to my ipod....

the music shows up on my itunes under my ipod library and says its on it, but will not show up on the ipod

On your Mac, make sure Automatic Downloads is selected in iTunes / Preferences - Store.
Same for Books on your iPad.
Instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

My Downloads list had some valuable files and links. I hit "Clear List" by mistake. How can I recover it?

Is there any way to recover my Downloads list? I hit "Clear List" by mistake.

Since your downloads went to a temporary folder, and there are many things that help you clean your system of "unwanted" files they may be gone.
In that case you may find the pages you got them from in your history (Ctrl+Shift+H") especially if they came from one site, or you know when you downloaded them.
The AwesomeBar search using strings from title and/or url that you use in the Location Bar also works in in your History & Bookmarks sidebars and Library List. Internal searches from the Location bar have ''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28internal_-_Auto_Complete.29 modifiers]'' as well to help you, but in your case you probably need to work with the Library Lists.

TS1702 i have recently updated some Apps....but all they are doing is waiting and wont update...any help out there

i am wondering why my Apps wont update on my IPad 2 with IOS6

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

Play music files loaded from pc

Hi all, is it possible to play music files copied over from a pc ? I have transferred music files over from pc which was ok but cannot work out how to play them! I am unable to find anything on my iphone to play them. They were copied from Real player. Can anyone help with this please?
Sam xx

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. ANY attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first deleted from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden.
You need to decide what computer you want to sync itunes content with & stick with that computer.
