Information in ical, itune, widgets,... lost after restart

All of sudden, when I restarted my computer, (which of course I have done millions of times) the information in my ical, (all in my itune)got lost. Nothing, the scheduled tasks, the playlists, etc are all gone. However, my addressbook, sticky notes seem intact.
Also, all my gadgets, mail setup, are gone. It is like back to the ``factory mode'' when it was fresh.
I am Powerbook G5, Mac OS X Tiger.
The only abnormality that I could recall is that when I turn the computer off, the "FileVault" process took a real long time. So i closed the lid, (which, I guess, put the Mac into sleeping mode). When I reopen the lid, it pops out the window for me to input pwd, etc. Then it gets shut down itself. When I restart it, everything is gone.
IS there anyway I could recover those informations that I have in my Ical??
Also, I tried turn the "FileVault" thing off, it tells me "
you need 4052 G of hard disk space to do this." Just so practically, I cannot turn off the FileVault thing EVER.
Any idea? Thanks!

Is it possible to sync between my iPod Touch and my iMac if i DONT have MobileMe? Just tried it and it didnt seem to transfer dates from my Touch to my computer...

CVS keyboard accelerators lost after restart

Hi
I set up accelerator keys for CVS edit (F10) and CVS commit (F11). Whilst JDeveloper is running, these keys work fine and I am able to edit and commit with these shortcut keys.
However, when I restart JDeveloper, the settings are lost and I have to set the keys again - (I have to do this each time I restart JDeveloper).
When I set keys F10 and F11 to other accelerator shortcuts such as make selected or run selected these work fine, even after restarting JDeveloper. The problem only seems to be with the CVS commands.
Do I have to some additional configuration for the CVS accelerators?
I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 and the problem occurs on both Windows XP and SUSE Linux 8.1.
Thanks
Usman

I'm seeing this problem with set accelerators being lost after restart with JDeveloper Preview 10.1.3.0.2.
I set an accelerator to an external tool (Tomcat Startup and Tomcat Shutdown) and the accelerator is gone after I restart JDeveloper.
I apologize if this is a known bug in Preview... I did a cursory search through the forums and only found this one.
Thanks,
Chris

BUG: Mutitap Preference Lost after Restart

Mail settings lost after restart!

This is beginning to drive me mad! It has only started happening recently, (I haven't dowloaded any patches or add ons to Mail or any other programme for that matter).
After restarting, or shut down and rebooting, Mail has lost all of its preferences. I have to add my account details again and change any other features that I previously changed.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and is there a preference file/s that I can backup manually so that I can just replace them and get back to normality?
P.S. Don't know if this is any help, but my Safari settings are also lost. Including ALL bookmarks! HELP!

All iTunes music lost after hard drive crashed

After upgrading to Snowleopard, I noticed my computer acting odd and constantly freezing. I took it to get checked and to back up all my data. I was told they could back up my data, wipe the hard drive and upload my data again...but then I was told that my data was encrypted, therefore it could not be restored. As a result, I lost ALL my files including all of my iTunes music. Is there a way to request a redownload from iTunes? I've been told by friends that only one request will ever be granted per customer. I really hope there's a way to restore my music. It's not like I chose to download my music illegaly. I chose to do it legally throuh iTunes and pay for my music. Please help me, my iTunes library was fairly large and I can't bare the thought of all of it being lost.
Any help and guidance would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

just a remark : of course each & every one should be responsible for one's music & as you say, if one looses all our cd's, the record store doesn't have to replace them - granted !
having said that & considering how much it costs Apple a download replacement service for such instances & how few people would actually use it , it seems to me it's a brilliant
''extra'' to add to the iTunes Store roster of features - one that makes it even more appealing ? : ''..don't worry , if anything goes wrong you can always get it back..''
i'd call this offering peace of mind ( VERY attractive.. ) others would call it good marketing policy - you pick !

Itunes wont open after restarting while updating

I canceled the update and while it was canceling, I restarted computer. I tried to redownload it but the update is on hold. No clue how to resume or fix problem. Help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes settings lost after reboot

I have a problem where after a reboot the settings of iTunes are back to default. For example:
it loses the account for the Store (I have to re-enter email address and password);
it loses the wifi sync settings for my devices
it shows the iTunes tutorials screen, as if I'm starting iTunes for the first time
settings under preferences are lost
Other things are not lost:
the library is still there;
iTunes remembers the devices (when connecting it is handled as a known device) and knows what playlists/apps/.. to sync with it.
Since I'm not rebooting my Windows 7 PC a lot, the problem is not occuring a lot, it doesn't keep me from using iTunes, it is just annoying. Now after rebooting I decided it's enough and I would post the issue (since I can't seem to find a comparable issue).
Also worthwile noticing is that the problem is already there for some time, though I can't exactly pinpoint anymore when it started. Possible when iTunes 9 or 10 were realeased.
Now I'm using:
Windows 7 64-bit (completly up to date)
iTunes 10.5.2.11
Thanks for any help!

Mail and iCal doesn't work after restart

Hello, after rebooting my Macbook Air I can't use Mail and iCal, which is starting automatically in the background. Please help me. Thanks

Try these things:
First, restart the computer, test. If the problem persists:
Test in a new user; if the problem persists, reinstall your OS (boot up the computer holding "option". Click Recovery HD, then click "reinstall Mac OS X". This will not delete your data, but I'd recommend a backup beforehand anyway, just in case). You can also click "Disk Utility" in the Recovery HD, and attempt to repair your boot disk (Macintosh HD), and restart and test before reinstalling.
If the problem does not happen in a new user, try pulling the preference lists for the two programs. You can find these by clicking Finder, going to the Go menu, hold option and click Library. Click Preferences, then scroll down to "com.apple.mail.plist" and "com.apple.ical.plist". There should be a few of each, pull these to the trash. Restart and test. If the problem still happens:
Safe boot the computer by starting up holding Shift. Test. If the problem still happens, there is some interference from a third-party program, and you might need to disable or uninstall it. You can disable third-party items on startup by going to Apple menu>System Preferences>Users and Groups, then clicking "login items", and removing (not un-checking) the third-party programs from the list. I'd remove anything that isn't absolutely necessary to start up when the computer launches. Note: This does not delete or uninstall a program, but only prevents it from opening when the computer first boots up.
Restart and test.
If the problem still happens, reply and list the steps you have done.
Good luck!

Open With - Change All; Not maintained and lost after restart; Help!

I'm loosing my open this file with this application default settings. I've been experiencing it with PDF files and preview app. The finder will default back to preview after I continually reset all PDF files to open with Acrobat.
Oddly this is also happening with Entourage. Frequently between restarts the finder asks if I want to make Entourage my default email app.
Why is the system loosing the default settings so frequently?

Try rebuilding the launchservices database:
Rebuild LaunchServices Database
For Tiger users
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Press RETURN.
For Leopard users
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Press RETURN.
You will get prompts about using applications for the first time but that's normal after the rebuild.
As for the default mail program you should open Mail, select Preferences from the Mail menu. Click on the General icon in the toolbar, then set the Default Mail drop down menu to the mail program you want as the default - in your case Entourage.

ITunes music lost after erase and restore

Ok, so I had to re-install OSX. I did so, opened iTunes after updating it, and upon opening it found that my entire music collection has now since vanished, so I checked for my downloads, as I was under the impression once purchased you would be allowed to download your purchase more then once to the same computer?!
It says they've already downloaded, yet I have no music...
Someone please explain, HELP ME PLEASE

Ok, so I had to re-install OSX.
Look in the Previous Systems folder on the hard disk for your music if you performed an Archive & Install without preserving your data. If not, restore it from a backup if possible.
as I was under the impression once purchased you would be allowed to download your purchase more then once to the same computer
Apple needs to pay a royalty for each downloaded song, including iTunes Plus content. Click here and request a free redownload; only one request will ever be granted per customer.

URGENT :All data lost after restart

Hi all,
I did a restart after using win7 in bootcamp.
after the restart, all my personal user data are gone. my desktop got wipe out clean with only Macintosh HD drive and bootcamp on it. my dock, trackpad, wallpaper change to default setting.
i did a check on my applications and all the applications are still intact. however, when i open my safari, all the history is there, but there is no recent download item, all gone! There seems to be no users data in any of the applications. and although all my applications are still there, other folders located in desktop, roots, and other locations are gone.
My email, outlook email, documents and download are also gone. And i dont have any backup.
Can somebody help me? Can i recover all my data back?

Yes you can, but your going to need to stop using the computer before your deleted files are overwritten with new data.
There is a piece of software called DataRescue ($99) what it can do if installed on another Mac or bootable hard drive is to read the 1's and 0's of deleted data and recover everything to another blank hard drive.
Then all you have to do is pick through it and save what you want.
You need to learn either one or two things
1: How to install OS X onto a external drive and option key boot from it
2: Firewire Target Disk Mode from another Mac. (T boot the sick Mac)
I don't know what you want to do a this point but you need to stop using the computer that the files got overwritten on immediatly.
Bascially you can't be running OS X on the drive/partition your having problems with nor the Windows partition which has access to the OS X partition.
If you think you can't handle this, then hire the services of a local PC/Mac specialist trained in data recovery.
