iOS 5 deleted my entire "My Douments" contents now what?

Maye the iPod is not sighned into the iTunes account that purchased them.  Also, maybe the computer is also not signed into that account.
Also, do you have restrictions set on the iPod that would prevent syncing them. Settings>General>Restrictions

  • Deleted time machine backups in Finder, now what?

    I know this was foolish, but I didn't do any research before hand. My external drive had 8Gs left and the Time Machine window said it couldn't backup because it was almost full. I thought it also said something about deleting previous Time Machine backups, so I selected the first 10 or so and put them in the trash. Then when I tried to empty the trash, it took forever (still going right now at 317,996 items to delete). Anyway, my question is, now what? I am not concerned about the older backups but do I need to do anything special for a proper backup of the iMac now? Should I start over or will Time Machine fill in the gaps. I have been searching on the forum but I still don't understand how this works. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Sorry, I neglected to answer this before.
    Assuming there's no damage, or it's repairable, then no, you don't need to do anything more, although you should do a new backup as soon as you're sure the existing backups are ok.
    What you've lost is only the backups of any files and folders that existed only at the time of the backups you deleted.
    So if those "first 10 or so" were your oldest backups, all you've done is what TM would have done anyway, although perhaps a bit faster. If they were your more recent ones, then you've lost the copies of items that were added or changed after the time of the oldest one still there.
    It is a strange concept, and a very powerful system, but let me put it this way: TM will never delete it's copy of anything that's still on your system, or was there at the time of any remaining backup.
    You manually deleting them works exactly the same way.
    This is the "magic" of the "multi-links" that TM uses. Think of them as multiple, extra-fancy aliases. Every backup contains "links" to TM's copy of every item that was on your Mac at the time of that backup. So a file that's not been changed in a long time will have a whole passel of them; a new file will only have one, or a few. What you deleted were these links; the actual backup copies are only deleted from the TM disk when the last link to it is deleted.
    So . . . you may have dodged a bullet!

  • Upgrade to ios 5 deleted some important e-mails and now won't retrieve e-mail from ISP???

    Once we upgraded to the new ios 5 we lost e-mails on both the iPad and also on the iMac.  It also has stopped being able to get new e-mail from my isp Comcast.  It has the little circle running up in the top corner but can't get e-mail even though it still has all the isp info there including smtp and passwords etc. etc.

    I updated my wife's 3GS to 5.0.1 and some of her emails were deleted, and it will not receive any email from the server either. My sister had no problems until she updated to 5.0.1 either. After it, her 4 was going very slow, wouldn't make any sounds for notifications, and apple tech walked her through everything. She received a new iPhone 4 from the apple store, and it did the exact same thing. Apple's answer was it is a hardware fault. It seems like all around the new update has more problems than it fixes.

  • Deleting photos-big fat oops and now what?

    I deleted some photos from another application (adobe bridge) and now, when I am in iphoto and I double click on the thumbnail all I get is a grey window with a big exclamation point in the center. So, although I can see the photo in thumbnails I cannot do anything with it like dragging and dropping or copy and paste or right click/'open with.' Is there any way to retrieve these photos?

    iPhoto keeps up to 3 versions of each photo: the tiny thumbnail, the full-sized original, and a modified version if you edit. We know you didn't delete the thumbnails, but they are really only suited for onscreen viewing and not useful for much else. Whether or not you can salvage some of your photos depends on what you deleted and if another large version exists.
    Did you delete the files from the Originals folder in your iPhoto Library folder? If so, and the photos had been edited (including portrait-oriented photos rotated by a camera's auto rotate function), perhaps you can locate the edited versions inside the Modified folder. Conversely, if you deleted the files directly from the Modified folder, you could try to locate the Originals. In that case, you could also try right-clicking the thumbnails and doing a "Revert to Original".
    If you find the files, drag them out of the iPhoto Library folder to your Desktop. Then use iPhoto to place the thumbnails in the iPhoto trash and empty. Once deleted from your library, you can import the files in again.
    There is no way to turn those tiny thumbnails into useful files, so if you don't have a file in Originals or Modified then those photos are gone. In that case, drag the thumbnails to the iPhoto trash and empty it. With any luck, your database will survive the damage you caused by dealing with the files directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Without that luck, you may have to rebuild your entire library from scratch.
    As you have seen, Bridge and iPhoto are incompatible. For the future, you can set Photoshop (Elements) as your external editor in iPhoto's Preferences. Instead of using Bridge to browse inside your iPhoto Library folder, you use iPhoto itself. (Which is way, way more powerful than Bridge.) Select the photos using iPhoto, open them for editing in Photoshop, and when you Save (not Save As) the edited version will be automatically saved into your iPhoto Library. It's a workflow that took me awhile to get used to, but now seems natural. I still have a set of images that I don't want in iPhoto, and I use Bridge to browse those folders.
    Regards.

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

  • How do I delete my entire iCloud account?

    How do I delete my entire iCloud account?

    You can't delete an icloud account.  You can disconnect a device or computer from icloud.  (For example, on an iOS device, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.)
    If you want to delete all the data on icloud, then there are several ways, but these require that you delete stuff one at a time or a group at a time.  Usually, using a computer is faster, since you can for example check multiple emails at once then delete them.
    To delete specific data files associated with a program or app, you'll have to invoke each app and delete the data.

  • I updated my ipod and it deleted my entire library how do I restore it with the backup I have saved?

    I updated my ipod and it deleted my entire library.  How do I restore it with the backup I have so all songs will be available in the cloud; which I paid extra Money to increase memory for?

    The backup that iTunes makes does not include apps, music, synced videos and photos. Se:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    You will have to sync the items back form yur computer/iTunes library to the iPod via iTunes. If they are not on the computer you can redownloa d some iTunes purchases by:

  • Finding multiple strings in a text file and deleting the entire line

    Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1', 'something2', 'something3', 'something4' } | Set-Content temp.txt
    Above is the program that when it has 1 argument in the -notmatch part will find the specific string and delete the entire line. I need to be able to use multiple strings for my search, I am totally drawing a blank on this and I know its something REALLY
    simple but my brain is fried. The above code will work IF i only leave 'something1' and delete the rest. I need to find MULTIPLE matches and remove them all at once, what is a good way to accomplish this.

    You can use an alternating regex, like this:
    Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt |
    Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1|something2|something3|something4' } |
    Set-Content temp.txt
    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

    My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone.  I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system.  The software doesn't work that way.
    You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
    As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
    Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.
    Cheers

  • How to delete a single message within a conversation without deleting the entire message.

    Can a single message within a conversation be deleted without deleting the entire conversation?

    Hi,
    Your post is in iChat which is the app that preceded Messages.
    Your post is about Messages and from the sound of things and the iMessages account and posts  within that app and Account.
    You list an iOS device but have not made it clear if you want to do this on a Mac Version of the iOS version.
    Click and Hold the iMessages in Question. the iOS version should offer  you "Copy" and "More" .
    Chose the More option than then delete.
    You may have to right click on the Mac Version then chose Delete.

    After setting up my new 4S, restoring a backup of my old 3GS, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and then I've changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then after that safely backup my NEW 4S - which now holds all my company information and stuff - to  iCloud without risking to lose it?

    Hi Mcchen425,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud.  Then you can delete one of your two backups.  The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.
