I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?
My iTunes media folder shows ALL of my music still there (including all from imported CD's), but on my iTunes, it says most of it is in the cloud? As well as my playlists that I have had for YEARS, are all gone. I just recently got a new laptop and had my iTunes transferred over, when I re-downloaded iTunes onto it, everything popped up perfectly from this same file. Now after this "Temporary Profile" mishap, nothing is working properly with iTunes.
Help! Please.

Do this. If all the synced media like apps and music are alread in the the iTnunes library just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

  • My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout"  with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. Help?

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • I have been on the phone with Apple support trying to reset my security questions because I have forgotten them, she said I had to go on the apple website and find a code.. what is this code called?

    Does anyone know how to rest their  security questions because I have forgotten mine!

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
    This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

  • The little forward and back arrows are gone

    I don't know what they're called. Up in the left corner under the red/yellow/green dots, there are the arrows that allow you to move back or forward between webpages.
    Well, those 2 arrows have disappeared. Where did they go? What did we do? How do we get them back?!
    Thanks

    Hmmm... I don't know how they disappeared, but you should be able to get them back by going under the "View" menu and selecting "Customize Address Bar." This will display available buttons that you can drag to where you want them.
    Let us know how this goes.

  • After taking forever to start up, I get this pop-up "your profile was not loaded correctly. You have been logged on with a temporary profile. Changes you make will be lost when you log off. Everything is lost. My homepage is I-google if that helps.

    Yesterday i downloaded CutePDF, which is now uninstalled. I also attempted to add the"opt-out browser plug-in for Google Analytics.

    You probably can't see the DOS attack on the home hub.  If you were using a broadband modem directly connected to your PC, you probably could, with somekind of firewall. 
    The tricky thing with avoiding DOS attacks is they fake incoming connections that you actually need - so they can't be blocked - or if they're blocked, your services won't work properly.  Some routers will automatically stop responding to incoming TCP requests, if they see a flood of them. 
    In the router configuration, there should be an option to set the router not to respond to pings - or ICMP messages. If someone is attacking you, they may be pinging the router, or pinging something that is letting them know it's you before they commence their attack. The game provider shouldn't be making your address visible to other players. If you think they are, contact the game provider. 

  • My 4 year old was on the computer & now my settings/programs are gone!

    My 4 year old was on my IMAC playing computer games. I left the room to do some things around the house & when I came back she had all my desk top items off of the desk top & all kinds of weird windows opened. What I was really concerned about was that NONE of my Iphoto pics & Itunes songs that were previously bought & downloaded were there anymore! In fact when I clicked on the Iphoto logo or Itunes logo to open them... I was directed to register & accept the user agreements again... just like the FIRST time I used them.
    Does anyone have any idea if there is a way to retrieve the photos & songs on Itunes that were on there??? I have NO CLUE what she did. Actually my entire computer settings were set back to like my computer was new out of the box. My address book was empty, the bookmarks all gone, settings were changed. Luckily the isync was able to retrieve my Safari settings, bookmarks, & address book... but everything else is wiped out as far as I can tell. My husband is pretty upset about our complete Itunes library being completely wiped out!! Where the heck did everything go & what the heck did she click on to wipe everything out?? It's sad that my 4 year old is more computer savvy than I am!!
    Anyway, I am just praying that some how there is a way to get this info back! I really want my pictures & my itunes back!!! If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks in advance, Lori
    PS yes I already checked the trash bin on the computer & the only things in there were a few items that I had deleted throughout the day

    Ah! the joy of always having a cloned backup on an external firewire drive! Without wanting to labor the point, external drives are now cheap enough to make them the very first thing you should purchase after your Mac! This is ESPECIALLY true if you are going to let your 4 year old play with the computer!
    Well what could have happened?
    The likely possibilities are that your child has created another user account or, more likely, moved your "home" folder or other folders within it.
    First thing to check, then , is inside Macintosh HD/Users to see if there is ANOTHER user account there.
    If so, then that is probably where your stuff is.
    If not, then you can probably be pretty sure that she has simply dragged your own stuff into different places, where things like iTunes and iPhoto wouldn't expect to find them. Spotlight is your friend. Think of one of those songs in iTunes and do a spotlight search for it. Chances are that you will find your missing stuff.
    I'd be MUCH more worried if trash didn't contain some things that you had deleted earlier on. The only way your four year old could have deleted things without understanding Unix and using the Console or booting in single user mode would have been to have emptied the trash. If things you had put there earlier are still there, then your stuff will be "somewhere" on the drive. Again, think of any file which is missing, or even just a word within it, and try a spotlight search.
    Don't be too surprised about the register and accept agreement messages. Maybe your obviously advanced child has used "Software Update" (from under the Apple menu). Alternatively, maybe you have the cmputer set to check for updates at regular intervals. If so, bear in mind that any newly "updated" software (and there have just been updates to iTunes etc) will ask you to accept the agreements the first time you use them .
    One thing to think about is how much disk space has been used. If this too looks like it has gone back to very little, and was much higher before "playtime", then you have a major problem. If not, then your stuff is still there somewhere. Use spotlight to find it if a new user account hasn't been created.
    If the worst comes to the worst, and dear child has really got rid of the stuff, then your last line of defence is "Data Rescue" - see http://www.prosoftengineering.com/products/data_rescue.php Yes, it will cost you $100US but it should be able to recover just about anything that has been deleted from your drive by any means available to your 4 year old, unless you have subsequently done major things to the drive.
    Cheers

  • Problem with permissions in Aperture 2.4.1. after installing mountain lion, did repair permissions but it stop at 3/4 of the repair cycle? Does anyone know what to do, my library is 94gigs!

    I tried all solutions to get my library permissions corrected, but nothing worked. Is this a known problem with ugrading to mountain lion for Aperture 2.4.1.? Does anyone have a new solution to get my library working again?
    Thanks for any help.

  • TS3297 after updating and signing in all of my songs and my backups are gone what happend?

    I had a computer crash and I had to do a reinstall of my whole system.
    After that was all straightened out, I reinstalled itunes and updated it.
    Then I pluged in my ipod and signed in to itunes.
    and there was nothing there. What did I do?

    Installing or reinstalling iTunes has never made content magically appear in iTunes.
    Your content is only where you put it.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore all your media.
    If you've failed to maintain a backup, that is not good.

  • When i log onto my computer it logs me into a temporary profile. how do i fix this?

    My computer stopped working. Had to control,alt.del and shut it down. When logging back on the computer it said that I was logged into a temporary profile. My desktop had changed and all file folders on the desk top where gone. Is there any way to reset the profile? I only have one user account on the computer. I am logging into that account but nothing is the same as it was before the shut down.

    OK, this is where I am with this problem:
    I set the IE8/IE9 swith to off as suggested in the previous reply.
    When I try to login now I get:
    "The User Profile Service failed the logon.
    User profile cannot be loaded."
    Turned off the laptop and retried a few times with the same result.
    Logging in with an Admin user account  I looked at the registry entries for my user account. It was basically all zeroes (apart from the user path and SID of course) and the .bak entry was the same apart from State being 0x00008000.
    The last time I managed to login successfully with my own user account I backed up my registry entry to a backup drive so I shut down the laptop, logged on with Admin and restored my user account registry entry. I then looked at the registry entry I just restored and it was all zeroes apart from RefCount which was 0x00000007. I shut down the laptop.
    I successfully logged on to my user account and again looked at the registry entry which was all zeroes apart from RefCount which was now 0x00000002. Why this hadn't gone up from 7 to 9 but instead went down to 2, I cannot explain?!?
    I shut down the laptop, logged in as Admin and looked at my user account which was now all zeroes, including RefCount.
    I tried logging in with my usual user account but this after a long, long time "preparing your desktop" I was logged in with a temporary profile again. Using Regedit to look at my profile in the registry it had RefCount of 2 and State of 0x00004a04. The .bak entry was as before, all zeroes but for state of 0x00008000.
    The only way I can now login using my user account is to restore my backed-up registry entry after every successful session and close down - which is clearly not acceptable. Something is stopping the login process and only a registry restore of my profile in the ProfileList allows me to login successfully. I really can't see the RefCount being the cause of failed profile loads but even if it is, what is the root cause of the RefCount being changed to something that invalidates my Profile?
    I am posting this into a Microsoft forum also, to see if any answers turn up there.

  • Windows min, max and close buttons are gone my desktop applications

    the min, max and close buttons are gone.
    I have windows 8.1 running in a VMware view environment. if I do a system restore to an earlier date they will come back. but after some windows update they go away again.

  • I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

    I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • Logged in to iTunes today and my playlists were gone and all uploaded music was gone-no recent upgrade or computer change-why?!

    logged in to iTunes today and my playlists were gone and all uploaded music was gone-no recent upgrade or computer change-why?!

    There is one way, however I strongly recommend you back up your music since while this process has a very high success rate, very rarely it messes up with your iTunes, so better safe than worry, yes?
    Please read first through all the instructions and make sure you understand them before doing anything
    Once you have backed up:
    1. Quit iTunes
    2. Open the iTunes Music folder, on a Mac this is in ~/Music/ and in Windows it’s in Username\My Music\
    3. Drag the file labeled “iTunes Music Library.xml” to your desktop
    4. Drag the “iTunes Library” file to the desktop as well (make sure this is no longer in your iTunes folder at all)
    5. Relaunch iTunes
    6. Before doing anything else, go to File -> Library -> Import Playlist
    7. Now navigate to your desktop to the “iTunes Music Library.xml” file that you placed there earlier and select it
    8. iTunes will recreate your playlists
    Hope it works

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.
