I think I've deleted my husband's itunes - HELP!!

Was cleaning up old laptop to be used only for his itunes and accidently deleted apple application support. I went back and did a system restore to a few days ago but now itunes still won't open saying there's an unknown error (50). I KNOW my husband hasn't backed anything up or saved his library anywhere else! Please can someone help me rescue his itunes!!!!!

Okay, I'm under the impression that a system restore only restores system files, so iTunes library files should not have been affected. But even if I'm wrong about that, if you only went back a few days, the iTunes library should be there except for anything he may have added since a few days ago. I would first look for the library itself, by browsing My Computer, My Music and iTunes. The library should be there. If it is, I would guess that you just need to do a reinstall of iTunes to get back any component you may have deleted. If you find the files and have an external drive, try to back up the files onto it. Then do an install of the latest version of iTunes(which I believe will just overwrite the previous version or whats left of it). If anything happened to the files, you can simply drag them back in. Good luck. I hope it works.

  • I think I accidently deleted my pictures...help

    Here is my situation: I had an Iphone 3 and then I got an Iphone 4. Before I had sync'd the Iphone4 with itunes I took a lot of pictures with it. I then went and sync'd it with itunes. I clicked restore settings (I didnt realize this would get rid of pictures)and now I dont have my recent pictures but instead I have the pictures from the Iphone 3. Is there any way to get the ones that went away when I did the restore?

    Pics taken with iphone are not included with the sync process.
    You should be importing these pics regularly as you would with any digital camera ( camera and scanner wizard, photoshop, iphoto,etc.).
    If you restored the iphone 4 withe the backup of the iphone 3 then it sound like your pics are gone.

  • Deleting duplicate songs in iTunes--help?

    I know iTunes lets you diplay duplicates, but can I delete them as a group vs. individually? I have 34.54 GB of duplicates. Also, if I wanted to delete a group of songs I can't do it, contol-click or command-click wil not create the invible box that you can drag over a number of songs (or files) to delete. I wish iTines had a prompt for " Delete All Duplicate songs? " That would be awesome--oh, and aloha from Hawaii--thanks so much

    For mac users there is a script called Corral iTunes Dupes that may be useful:

  • Playlists deleted after connected to itunes [HELP PLZ]

    Hi,
    Since a few weeks i'm having trouble with playlists.
    When i'm comparing a playlist on my ipod-touch (3rd gen, 32GB) it all works fine, the playlist is saved etc.
    But when i connect the ipod to itunes, the playlists i made on the ipod are gone, and changes to playlists on my ipod are reset.
    (Playlists created in itunes are fine)
    What can the problem be?
    (i am NOT synchronizing music or anything.. It's all manually set)

    Wow, that's exactly what's been happening to me... like word for word lol.  Windows 7, iPod Touch 3rd gen 32 GB, set to manual sync.  So far it seems like iTunes always overwrites the playlists on the iPod with the ones on iTunes.

  • I deleted an audiobook from Itunes on my computer and emptied my trash, plugged in Iphone 5s to sync Itunes. Audio book still appears on my Iphone. How do I get rid of audio book on Iphone?

    I deleted an audiobook from Itunes on my computer, emptied my trash, they attached Iphone 5s to computer to sync computer to Iphone thinking that by deleting the audiobook from Itunes, the audiobook would then be deleted from my Iphone.  It's still on my Iphone.  How do I get rid of the audiobook on my phone?

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

  • I have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
    WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.

  • I am sending text messages to some people who think they come from my husband.  Also evertime I send a text to my husband, a copy is sent to me too.

    I am sending text messages to some people who think they come from my husband.  They have both my name & number and my husbands name and number in their contacts.  Also everytime I send a text to my husband, a copy is sent to me too.  I do however receive text message from people to my phone and it seems to work fine if they do not have my husbands info.

    You don't necessarily need separate AppleIDs, but you need to set the Send and Receive for Messages to different addresses (Settings App > Messages).

  • What will happen if I delete my husband's iCloud account from my iPad?

    What will happen if I delete my husband's iCloud account from my iPad?

    You can delete the iCloud Account from your device but that doesn’t delete your account on iCloud.com. You can still use the user name and password you selected when signing up for iCloud to log in on the iCloud website.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done (when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?". No way of copying your book before, or restoring it after?

    Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done with a single press of delete (and which can be done when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?" before it happens? No way of copying your book while you are working on it (to make multiple versions of it, or just to have a safeguard copy), and no real way of restoring it after (since, remarkably, the photo books don't appear as items - items which could very easily be recovered otherwise)?

    I get a dialog box when I try to delete a book.
    And if you right click on the book in the left column you can duplicate it so you can have multiple versions.

  • I think I accidentally deleted folder that synced photos with iPhone & iPad

    I was trying to clean up my Pictures folder on my PC, but I think I inadvertanly deleted the file that synced that folder with my both my iPad and iPhone photos.  The pictures and videos I take on them no longer show up in my Pictures folder on my PC. Any suggestions?  I have the iPad 3gen, iOS 5.1.1 and 3G iPhone, 16GB and all are using the current versions of iTunes.

    I looked at that, but the only files that were different were the dated folders that normally show up when syncing either the iPad or iPhone with my PC.  All I thought I did was move those pictures into the sub-folders that I have within the Pictures folder, and then delete the dated folder.  I do see one that is not on my PC file and that is the
    ZbThumbnail.info.  Is that the problem?

    Download the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store and re-install the OS.  It should create the recovery partition.
