I recently browsed iTunes UK and now can't get back to iTunes US version. I restarted my Mac and whenever I open iTunes store it is the UK version. I can't open an account there because it won't let me use by email address twice.

I recently browsed ITunes UK store and now can't get back to my iTunes US store. The UK store won't accept my email address as it is in use. So, effectively, I can't make an iTunes purchase. And, this password changing is madness. Everytime I sign in iTunes doesn't recognize my password and so I have to get a new one even though I've answered the useless security questions. Has anyone solved this problem before?

Funny how this seems to be one of the most-asked questions on the Internet. In most cases, no answer is ever checked as "Correct," either. Most answers, as on this page, say to click the flag at the bottom right-hand corner of any store page. The problem? There's only one flag!!! And it's the one of the country we don't want to be in!!!
Just in case this helps someone: what worked for me was to sign in. It then told me my id was not valid for this country, and switched me back to the US. How I was ever able to buy something from the UK store in the first place is beyond me.
By the way, Apple, experiences like this, and many, many other horrible ones with iTunes, is why those of us who do not live in the Apple world continue to stick to their Microsoft PCs.

10.9.1 used terminal with rm-rf and deleted my user data. Can I get back the deleted data? Help.

10.9.1 used terminal with rm-rf and deleted my user data. Can I get back the deleted data? Help. I really just need mail file and desktop files recovered.

If data were on the SSD drive with TRIM - practically no chance. If HDD - use DIY recovery software such as DiskDrill or DataResue.
As quickly as possible turn off the drive where deleted data.
Use an external HDD with installed OSX for data recovery.

Beware! When you initialize your boot disk be sure that you specify "Journaled" and not "Case-sensitive, Journaled". Previous OSX installers would check this and give an error message. Mavericks does NOT! If you install using "Case-sensitive" many apps will not work.

Was trying to get Amazon App only available in US store. Switched stores and now can't get back to the Australian store. How do I get back?

I know this has featured before in discussions but none of the answers helped me. I followed a prompt to switch to the US App Store. Then tried to buy an app and got told to switch back to Australian store. Can't seem to get back to the Australian store.

thanks ..I wish the iPad had an easier way of deselecting a switch to another store. I was searching for a newspaper app and it advised me to switch stores, so I tapped into a switch. I wasn't able to download the app. as this store was restricting Australian access as it turned out. However, there was no request to switch back to where I came from and I got stuck in this store and couldn't take any updates to my apps until I found this way of getting back...grrrrrrrr...but thankyou for the info on how to reset your home country store.

I've seemed to have deleted my iPhoto app and can't get back to my desktop. It had numerous pictures of mine included and can't find them in my hard drive where do i find it and restore it?

I've been trying to do some cleanup on my mac, and somehow have removed my iPhoto from my desktop and can't get it back, i don't know how to get it back. I've had years of pictures on it and am going to be pretty hot if i can't get it back up.

Is it in your Applications Folder?
If not
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Was typing an e-mail -trying to find "printer" - clicked SOME button now can't get back to my e-mail also top of page is missing/can't get to go down

Went thru mozilla to business e-mail account/wanted to make a copy of notice to be sent/was clicking different buttons to find a "printer" all of a sudden the whole page went up and the top (bar,browser,everything disappeared) now can't find anything of mine only info to download mozilla??

That was helpful but it didn't solve the problem. There were two red dots, now only one, though I copied and pasted the same password in both places. (I don't recall having to change the password in two places before).
The red dot next to smtp.mail.me.com:(myname) disappeared
The red dog next to smtp.me.com:(myname) is still there. It says, "trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."
Thanks,

I updated my Iphoto recently and it is a disaster. Can I get back to original I photo?

My Iphoto is now unuseable after the latest update. I have tried everything I know to get it to work. I have worked with someone here but was unable to get the problem solved. So, what I want to know now, is there a way to get back to the old version of Iphoto. The brown version of the avatar not the blue. Even though my brown version still shows when I click on it to open, the blue comes up.
I have lost photos and everything. Thank goodness for Carbonite but even some of those photos were corrupted.
So, I just want to go back to my old version of Iphoto.
Help.

reinstall the old iPhoto from the original source and restore the backup of the latest iPhoto library for that version

Iwas directed to an iTunes Store in the UK and now can't get back to my own store in Canada. Anyone know how?

Anyone know how I can get back to my iTunes Store in Canada? I seem to be in one in the UK.

Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.

Deleted my firefox sync account and now can't get back in.

I recently upgraded to firefox 12 which appeared to break my firefox sync and would not allow me to re-pair my PC or any other devices to my account. In order to try fix the problem, I decided to delete my account. Having done this, I created a new sync account from firefox on my PC using the same email address as I had used in my previously deleted sync account.
This appeared to work alright and so I tried to pair my iPhone (using firefox home) to this new sync account. I used the passcode firefox home gave me and according to firefox on my PC, the sync was successful. However, a minute late, my iPhone came up with the error message "Login Failure: Unable to communicate with server (503)".
I then tried to log in to the firefox sync website with my email address, (https://account.services.mozilla.com/), and got the message "We were unable to log you in". I then clicked on the Forget your password link and entered my email address and got another error message "Unable to locate account. Please check username"!
It would appear that deleting my account and creating a new one with the same email address has stuff everything up? I don't want to have to use a different email address.

Yes, I was thinking it could have just been a glitch in the system.

HT4236 I downloaded ios 5 yesterday and synced all my pictures and vidoes gone from I pad can I get back?

I downloaded IOS 5??? yesterday and synced, last night when I went to look at photos and videos they were all gone. How do I get them back? I noticed all my pictures from my computer were now on I pad but nothing that was originally on I pad, everything gone. Could this be on my computer some where?
Thanks for any help.

Demo is right. If you have a backup/synced with your PC you might be lucky finding a previous backup? You can just restore your iPhone to get your photos & videos back. Simply sync your iPhone via iTunes to transfer the files back to your device. Alternatively, you can also use iPhone Backup Extractor to extract the media files off to your computer (assuming you have a backup of the files you are referring to).

Ipod photoes were copied onto another ipod and orginal photos are gone now can i get them back?

okk so i have 2 ipod touches and i wanted both to have the same music and videos so i synced them both to one itunes. but then after i synced them both they were fine after i noticed that the ipos have the same photos. from the device. so now one ipods original photos are gone and only have the photos from the ipod that was synced first. is there any way to get the origional photos back the ones before the sync????

If the backup of the one iPod contains the photos just restore one iPod from that backup. Otherwise you are out of luck unless the PhtoStream contains the photos.

I accidentally backed up from my last phone and lost all my current information. can i get back my contacts or photos?

I got a new iphone a few months ago, and i just got around to putting music on it. I accidentally chose to back up from my last phone instead of continue as a new iphone and i lost all my information, and got all the stuff from my old phone. Is there anyway i can get the notes, photos, and contacts back? I didnt lose any apps, or ringtones, or anything like that.

I think what you're saying is you're hoping to retrieve information from your current iPhone before it got overridden with information from your last iPhone.
If you synch using iTunes, you can try this: In iTunes, go to Preferences then choose Devices (from the top near the right). You'll see dates and times of backups stored on your computer. If the one you want is there, you can restore your iPhone from that.

My iTunes crached! I lost my playlists and 60 GBs of music. Can I get back may playlists and music? How?

My battery went down. I opened my iTunes and there I found that all my palylists gone and most of my music gone. HELP!

I suppose you did not have a backup of your hard drive?
You need to be very exact in posting because we only have what you say with which to work. You see some of your music listed in your library but all your playlists are gone and a lof of music also isn't listed in the iTune window? I have never heard of that and to me it would say major file corruption on your computer, but then it surprises me the library file would even open. If that's the case you may need to rebuild your library from scratch with whatever files are in your media folder. This is going to take some doing so I won't start until I know that's what you need to do. Of course if you do have a backup then you can restore everything quickly.
