I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?
This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??
We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
Do have a backup?
If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

I lost the Google search window and don't know how to get it back, can someone tell me how?
Depending on which version of Safari you are running the search is as Thomas states. The address bar is the search and address bar on Safari 6. Prior to that, one of two things will get it back.
First is going up to the menu bar and choosing View>Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar", then this isn't the issue and the toolbar is already present.
Second. Assuming the first step didn't fix the issue, you can go again to the menu bar and choose View>Customize Toolbar. Inside the window that opens you should see a google search that you can drag and place back where it used to be on the toolbar area. Then just press "Done". -
Please help!
OK, so a couple of things:
Did you delete the iCloud account and re-add it with the updated AppleID? If not, then do so.
Also, try resetting the iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears. Then recheck your photostream.

I have backed my pictures and videos with I cloud, they are gone now, how do I retrieve them.
Photos don't get deleted when they are backed up. Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go

I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!
Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up. -
i have lost all my notes saved on my iphone after syncing it. and my default mailbox is gmail. notes were very important. and now i dont know how to get them back. can anyone help me out please? thanks in advance.
Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html -
All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?
Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
If you still see nothing, try this in order:
1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install. -

I had liquid damage to my phone and had to receive a new one so I went home to restore it to its old settings from my back up on 5/8/11. I've had an iphone since 2008 so I have a lot of data and apps saved on to my computer, many of which I paid for. When my back up finished all my music, contacts, photos were restored but none of my apps. Can someone please help me get them back? Thank you!
After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

I have absolutely no toolbars and don't know how to get them back.
I hid my "File/Edit/History/etc..." toolbar by right-clicking and un-checking it. I accidentally did the same thing with my navigation toolbar and now I have no toolbars and can't get them back. I have tried to right-click but because there are no longer any toolbars, it won't open the toolbar menu it gave me before. Depending where I click I either get the tabs menu or the options to Close, Minimize, or Maximize my screen. I tried closing the window and opening a new one but that didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and that didn't help, either. I am out of ideas, what can I do?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I right clicked my "File/Edit/etc..." toolbar and un-checked it to hide it.Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.
* If the above steps didn't help then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Note: Do not delete localstore.rdf in the program folder (Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\") (Mac: "/Applications/Firefox.app/defaults/profile/")
