If you trashed all your music in your itunes and emptied the trash can you get them back?

I have trashed all the "orginial files" of my itunes songs and emptied the trash. I did not know I was deleting the files when I did it. I thought they would still play in my itunes but it just pops up and says the original file for this song cannot be found. Is there any way to get these files back?

I assume that you have no backup, all songs that you purchased may be downloaded again from the iTunes Store (Purchases section), any that you ripped maybe lost. Plugging your phone in now may well remove the music from the phone rather than adding it to iTunes.
From now on, backup.

  • HT1766 If I have accidently deleted my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop, can I get them back from my iPad which was synced just before I deleted all the files?

    I accidently deletes all my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop. Can I get them back using my iPad mini Retina that was synced just before I deleted the files? I am a bit old fashioned, so all of my music has been imported from my CD,s, not purchased from iTunes store. I could re-import, but almost 5,000 songs. Especially when they are sitting there on the iPad.

    Yes, if they were purchased from iTunes.  If they were CD's you copied to your iTunes library, then synced to your iPad, you may be forced to redownload the CDs again.
    Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and with iTunes open wait for your iPad to recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen.  Right click your iPad once and a dialog box will apear.  Choose Transfer Purchases and the music apps, etc., you purchased will transfer to your iTunes library on your computer.

    Oh!
    First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
    Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
    Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
    Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
    Best of luck!

  • I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    i lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or move them from the old computer. Any movies you've previously rented aren't transferable.

  • I have lost all my bookmarks and screen short cuts since the outside telstra cable was damaged and repaired. How can I get them back?

    my internet had been running slowly with lots of fizz and crackle on the line. Telstra came and fixed it, necessitating my having to reset the modem. At first boot up after that, all screen short cuts were gone and all bookmarks were gone. Can I get them back? Help!!

    Hello,
    Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
    #You had an issue with our Internet access
    #Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
    #Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
    Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
    Thank you

  • All my emails just disappeared, deleted from iphone...can i get them back?

    I was opening an email and the application got stuck with a blank white screen. I turned it off and back on and all my saved mail was gone...everything I've received, everything i've sent...everything. All my accounts are still there and it is receiving new mail fine just like it should. It is just that all my old mail is gone.
    Does itunes backup mail when doing a sync backup? I've never had to restore before so i am afraid...will it restore to original phone (blank phone) or will it restore it to what was on the phone before i backed it up?
    Please help! I need my old emails back! Thanks so much!
    ~Karen

    No, I haven't been able to get them back. I have searched and searched and can't find any information on it. I guess they are gone forever...which really stinks because I use my iphone to send most of my emails so they were all on the phone instead of in my Outlook.
    Please let me know if you find out anything!

  • Many but not all Favicons disappeared from my tabs & bookmarks last week - how can I get them back?

    I have been using many of these for years, eg google and tvguide.co.uk but now they show as dot edged boxes instead of favicons on tabs. Others are OK eg Firefox and Facebook. All these sites still display correctly in other browsers.
    I have: cleared history, cookies and cache / deleted and remade bookmarks / tried safe mode / restarted several times / tried some recovery addons, but nothing works.
    I updated to FF 25 at about the time I noticed this problem and am running Windows 8

    Do you see the favicon on the tab if you visit one of those sites?
    Normally Firefox should fetch the favicon from the server if you click a bookmark to visit this link.
    You can check these prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure that they have the default value.
    *browser.chrome.favicons
    *browser.chrome.site_icons
    Try to let all favicons expire to see if that makes Firefox to store properly them once again.
    Copy and Paste the JavaScript code in the command line in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web <pre><nowiki>Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) and press the Enter key.
    var fS = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/favicon-service;1"]
    .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIFaviconService);
    fS.expireAllFavicons();</nowiki></pre>
    (note that this will remove all favicons, so you need to open a bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon)
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the <b>about:config</b> page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).

  • OMG Help notes are all gone from outlook and i phone I can't get them back

    I havent synced my iphone in a long time.  I used to have an itouch (gave it to my son) and everytime I synced it on itunes it was replacing what was on my itouch in outlook onto my iphone getting rid of the recent stuff it was a mess.  I have had some stuff going on and i thought i should sync now since imp stuff going on.  well I deleted what was in outlook hoping to just put what was on my iphone into outlook but it deleted everything i had in it on both phone and outlook except for what was actually added on phone not even the stuff I have typed in from older messages to update like all my blood pressures recently  it is all gone, I am ready to freak out  is there anyway to undo a sync or a delete and put it back on my phone, help please

    You could just restore your Outlook PST file from the latest backup of your computer. This will not bring back what was on your phone.
    This is what sync does. If you delete i in one place, it will delete it all the way down the line. If it were to bring it back from the phone after you told it you didn't want it anymore in outlook, what would be the point?

  • I put photos in trash and emptied it! Can I get files bacK?

    I threw my entire photo library in trash (don't ask) and emptied it. I've been trying to recover files with Data Rescue II -- have run it three times and every time, it sticks when I get to "Scanning Drive, Postprocessing CBR Data"
    The first time it said: remaining time = 16 mins. 2nd time: remaining time = 18 mins. This time it says: Remaining time about 17 mins.
    I started it last night at 10 pm. It's been stuck on "17 minutes remaining" since I got up this morning.
    ANyone have any suggestions for getting it to process the hard drive?
    Is there any other software I should try? I stopped using hard drive as soon as I realized what I'd done. I backed it up on external hard drive and am running off of that. (I know, I should have backed up BEFORE I deleted everything. Yikes)
    Thanks for any suggestions...!

    The File Salvage program is truly a god send. It had been recommended to me and admittedly I was a bit skeptical. Ultimately, I did decide to download and purchase the Sunday morning following my unfortunate mishap and try it.
    I am so happy that I did decide to buy and try it.
    The downside is that can be time consuming as it automatically assigns new generic file names / numbers to each file that necessitates the user to open each file to determine if it is a file that he/she wishes to rename and save.
    The upside is that I got all my files back and of course my sanity, as well.

  • My laptop was stolen and all my photo albums are on my iphone.  How can I get them back on my laptop?

    iv tried plugging into laptop and going to my computer then iphone but it only brings up photos taken on the phone.  Any help would be great.

    The iPhone will temporarily store items in iCloud as a backup, but only those photos taken with the phone.Even then there are limitations.  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    iOS5: iCloud: Backup and restore overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 - "The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
        * Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
        * Podcasts and audio books
        * Photos that were originally synced from your computer"
    It is assumed you maintain a backup of your computer on a hard drive somewhere should you need to recover items you kept on the computer and transferred to the phone.
