Imovie erased my older videos.... can I get them back?

The folders of my older videos are still there, but when I click on them, they say they have been replaced by black images. I haven't touch them since a while and really need to get them back. Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

I accidentally erased videos on my iPhone 6 can I get them back in anyway ?

I think , there is no way to back your picture, unless you synced it to icloud before happend this.

Already asked AT&T and Apple Support. Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

New to this site, sorry if I didn't enter my question correctly ... Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

IOS 5 Cleared My Apps/Photos/Videos - WHY? Can I get them back?

I backed up my iPhone before updating to iOS 5. After installing iOS 5 and restoring the phone, my apps, photos, and videos are all gone.
No other iPhone updates have this this, why did iOS 5?
Can I get them back?
Thank you

I just encountered a similar problem, but just as frustrating.
Yesterday I updated my iPhone 4 to OS5, and as it finished restoring, there was a message prompting an 'unknown error occured'. I found that all of the original data was present though, apart from the fact that all of the apps I ever had were now on my phone, randomly arranged. I decided to deal with it later today.
Meanwhile, today I took a couple of hundred pictures. So tonight, as I wanted to sync them to iPhoto, iTunes prompted me to continue restoring first, as it found the process wasn't complete yet. Unknowingly, and given the fact that I've been through this process more than once, I opted for the restore to be completed, only to find my apps nicely arranged, and all data from the last day erased. This is highly frustrating.
For the sake of completeness: I tried resetting, never interrupted the process nor disconnected my iPhone.
If anyone knows a remedy, I'd be most thankful.

I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them. How can i get them back?

Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

Go to an Apple store or authorized Apple service provider.

If you had a back-up created you can simply restore from your back-up.
This article may help, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you don't have a back-up you will unfortunately need to input all of your settings again.

I accidentally erased some songs from my iPhone, but can I get them back?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you made a Time Machine backup before deleting the applications, you can recover them from your backup. Just go to the Applications folder, and open the Time Machine app, so you will be able to recover the applications just navigating through your backups.
However, there are some applications that won't work after doing this, because they require other system files. In this case, you will have to download the apps again from the Internet and install them using the installer

Sorry, but movies cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

unless you transfered them to the computer before restoring it

Iphoto just lost my last import of pictures, how can i get them back?

iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card.
What happens now, when you open iPhoto? Are the photos not showing in the library or iPhoto still crashing?
What is your current iPhoto version?
If you imported the photos into iPhoto, but are no longer seeing them after the crash, try if rebuilding your iPhoto library will find the photos inside the library. Rebuilding might collect them in a "recovered" event.
To rebuild: That will depend on your iPhoto version - this article explains it for the older versions:
iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
For iPhoto '11 look at Old Toad's post here:

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

Lost documents... Can i get them back?

Hi Guys
I am hoping someone can help me and all is not lost.
I was using Illustrator CS5 on Windows, with a number of documents open when I had to leave my office to deal with a screaming daughter. I was then a little distracted before I managed to get back to my laptop. To my horror my laptop had installed some updates and automatically restarted. And you guessed it my files were gone. I know I know I should have been periodically saving them as I worked on them and stupidly enough I had with one but not the others.
I quickly checked the recycling bin to see if a back copy was there as I had heard that this is sometimes the case. I did find one document that was modified at the correct time and date but with some random name. I tried restoring it to find out what it was and now have no idea where it has been restored to.
Where would it be? Could this be the document I am looking for? If not can I get them back?
Is there away via Illustrator to bring up recently unsaved documents? I know you can do this through recent documents in the File drop down menu but this only has documents that I saved in it. I know this is unlikely but I still have hope or should I say I am praying.
Please tell me there is hope.
Thanks for your time.

No. When nothing was saved, there's nothing to restore - all your documents only ever existed in their modified state RAM, not on your harddrive and AI doesn't do auto-saves nor does it any longer produce crash recovery files as it did in older versions before CS or so. If there are any randomly named AI files, then they were produced by the operating system, but that mustn't mean they are actually usable. They could merely be memory dumps of the last active state, not structured data files. Hopeless case for the most part and before wasting time trying to search something that doesn't exist you better simply start over...

I lost all my songs in my ipod Nano 6th gen. when attempting to transfer from old lybrary to new. Can I get them back?

I lost all my old library in my ipod Nano 6th gen when trying to understand how to sync to new laptop. Can I get them back?

If they are gone, then your question is answered.
If you synced your ipod to a different computer, then the current content of the ipod would be erased.
You cannot sync the music from the ipod to the computer. It sync from the comptuer to the ipod.
If the music is gone, then it is gone.
Not sure how you think this didn't help you.
Your music is only where you put it. If you synced your ipod to another computer, erasing the ipod, then the music is not on the ipod any longer.
Not sure what else you are looking for.

TS4036 I have had to do a factory reset on my ipad3,when i restored via i.cloud not all my apps were restored how can i get them back,they show on the back up list on my ipad in icloud,any help is appreciated thanx, Andrew

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
