IPhone Apps how to get them back?
So say your hard drive melts down and you have to start fresh, and you dont have a backup of your iphone apps (which takes way too many hours with anything over 10 apps) How would you go about retrieving all the apps you have already purchased without having to re-buy them all? Or say you just want to buy a new machine.
Get an external hard drive and back up your internal hard drive. If your hdd melts down you'll lose a lot more than iPhone apps!
If you have already downloaded an app and buy it again (as long as you are using the same iTunes Store account) you are prompted that you have already purchased the app, and you can download it again for free.

Files missing from native notepad app, how to get them back?
I had a lot of files in the native Notepad app. That app apparently updated today (without asking me first), and deleted all but one file. Is there a way to get them back? Should I just contact Apple about this, or are they not likely to have the file either?
I assume by "native Notepad" app, you mean Notes. If you have been backing up (via iCloud or itunes) any notes present for the last backup can be recovered via a restore from that back up, but you would lose any content not in the back up. No Apple wouldn't have them.
Unless you just got around to updating iOS to 6.1.4, the app itself didn't update. Its built into iOS. -
I lost the app "app store" on my iphone. How to get it back? I couldn't find a way neither on the iphone mor on iTunes Could you please help me in restore this app? Thanks
The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

i have lost all my notes saved on my iphone after syncing it. and my default mailbox is gmail. notes were very important. and now i dont know how to get them back. can anyone help me out please? thanks in advance.
Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html -

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over? I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?
Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Hi guys...I have just got a new computer and want to get my library back up and running on it. However I seem to be missing some of my iTunes music purchases. Any ideas on how to get them back? They show up on my ipad but not my actual itunes account.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

My computer was hacked using a softbank pocket wifi, I had to install an earlier version of the disc provided for my mac reset my user password and I still need to recover my administrator password that was altered. I have lost all of my applications already existing on my mac including iPhoto, and all other applications. I am wondering how to get them back? I am in Japan and I have proof of purchase in my iTunes, but on my computer all the allplications are blocked. I have no idea what to do to get them back. It is very annoying.
Thank you for your help.

Missing Templates in iphoto how to get them back?
I'm using Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.2 , i have iphoto version 9.2.1 (628) , Now when i use email in iphoto and i want to use the templates so they are missing can someone help me how to get them back?
You'll need to reinstall iPhoto from the source it came from, i.e. the Software Install disk that came with your MBP or an iLife11 disk. If the MPB came with Lion install you'll have to download iPhoto from the App Store.
To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto and apply any needed updaters.
I may be presching to the choir here but in Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?
Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
If you still see nothing, try this in order:
1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install. -
I downloaded a cheap PDF editor and it converted all my PDFs to their software. Then when I deleted it, I cannot open them in the Adobe format any longer. Please let me know how to get them back!
It's important to understand that when this sort of thing happens files aren't "converted" at all.
In Windows and Mac, there is just one app (program) that it run when you double click a type of file. There's an app for Word documents (Microsoft Word). There's an app for PDF files. So all that happened is that you installed an app which can open PDF files.
Nothing changed in the files. You can still open them the traditional way if you forget double click - start the app, use Open from the File menu. -
My kid has erased my entire iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Does anyone know how to get them back?
WIthout a backup of your data previously, they are all gone.
The only option you have now is data recovery.
You need to purchase, download, install and use a data recovery app like this.
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
You need to completely stop using your computer ASAP, at this point and just run the data recovery app and let it do its thing.
Every moment that you keep regularly using your computer risks rewriting new data in the locations where your deleted data may still reside.
A very expensive and time consuming lesson to be learned here.
Purchase and connect up a large capacity external hard drive (a drive larger than your Mac's internal hard drive) preferably a hard drive that uses FireWire 400/800 connection and use a data cloning app like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make yourself a exact, bootable copy of your Mac's internal drive to the new external hard drive.
This will be your data backup drive.

If corrective changes are going to be needed to the websites, it will be a time-consuming job. I feel this must be a weakness in MF as it doesn't occur with other browsers.
