IPhoto crashed - Reset and Start Over?
I need help! iPhoto crashed while I was deleting events and now all of my photos are gone. The strange thing is iPhoto still shows I have 25,045 photos but there's nothing there! HELP! I've tried every suggestion I could find in the Forum, but nothing has worked so far. At this point I would love to start from scratch and reset iPhoto so I can start rebuilding my photo library. How do I do this? I've already copied all of the Masters into a separate folder so I don't risk losing all my pictures in the process. Thanks for your help in advance!
If you have done everything suggested then you must do a new library and that also is one of the suggestions
To protect your existing library (including your photos IF you are operating in a default library - a managed library) simply drag it to the desktop until you have finished and have everything working - then delete it
And you always should have a current backup in addition - if you do not you WILL lose your photos someday (and your other files and data) - remember to backup soon and often

I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process. Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account. I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud. I backed up to my computer. And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
Help.I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account. The Restore kept my phone number intact.
I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly. -
How to delete all contacts on my iPhoto 3 GS and start over
I ended up syncing to multiple sources and have massive duplicates in my iPhone 3 GS - I want to delete all contact on it and resync only to my exchange server at the office
I have turned off sync contacts on the iPhoto with both e-mail accounts (MobileMe and exchange) and have turned off all sync of contacts and calendar in iTunes - now I want to clear all contacts off of the iPhoto (there are almost 4000) and re-enable just exchange but can not find out how to do that in searching these forums or in the iPhoto help on Apple.com
How do I do this?
LNI inadvertantly sync'd both through iTunes and MobileMe when I got my 3GS. I found several posts/apple articles about backing up and deleting my contacts on my iMac. It sounded like a hassle with risks of losing them.
I restored my phone as a new phone. I did not restore from a backup as that would have restored the duplicates.
Once it was restored I had to re-sync everything. Obviously making sure that I was only syncing through MobileMe. -
Why can I only download 25 mb of itunes 10.6 and at 25.1 mb, it resets and starts over again????
This is making me want to throw the iphone, the iMac, the windows pc (because it has itunes on it) and anything else related to apple into the freaking ocean and even stop eating apples. I have been searching the web rying to find answers and always get sent to the "support" community. Jock straps and bras are support... this community is a place for frustrated users to vent--thats it! I never once seen anyone from apple get on here and help out. The only support you get from apple has to be bought. I don't even know why I am complaining about free software...IT'S FREE, hence the lack of apple support. Oh well, I will just add the 5 minutes of wasted time I used to type this to the hours and hours of wasted time I have spent dealing with this. I hope everyone here (besides apple "support team" has a great day, night or whatever it may be where you are.

Had you bothered to read the terms of use that we all agreed to when signing up to post here, you would have seen explicitly that this IS a user to user technical support forum and Apple has no presence here.
Think you could stop ranting for 2 minutes, pull your head out of your rear-end and provide some details of the issue you're having? -

How do I delete everything in Iphoto and start over
I have given up trying to fix my library. I would like to delete everything in old library and hope I can reimport my pictures from disks and edit then again. how do I make sure everything that was in the old library is absolutely, positively gone so that it (hopefully) doesn't mess up again? Just trash the library everywhere I can find it and start importing again?
They were showing up when I launched IPhoto. But when trying to upload, I would browse and find pictures, then Iphoto Library. In Iphoto library, the new albums, folders, etc., were not showing up - it still had the old ones so I would have had to look at each picture in it to make sure it was the right one.
Example: In my first Iphoto library, I had a file called wedding, one called wedding 2, etc. My pictures kept disappearing and I did what you suggested and created a new library and they showed back up. But when I organized them in the new library, I had a file called wedding and one called bridesmaids. When browsing to upload photos, my Iphoto library on the computer still had the old file names in it.
That's why I'm wondering if I need to completely delete everything and start over. -
My hard drive crashed and using my back up, it seems my Mac mail is corrupted. How do I delete and start over?
If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.

Reset factory settings and start over
My PC won't recognise my iPod any more, and has wiped out most of my songs in a failed sync.
Is there a way of resetting the factory settings and starting over, than just renaming my iPod to the previous name and letting it run a new sync?
Or is there another solution?It is something of a fix all, but you lose everything on the iPod, so make sure that everything is safely backed up.
If your laptop is relatively new, then you most likely do have USB2/highpower/speed. -
i followed all the directions e ,mailed to me ,but when i tried to sync my iphone the error message said incorrect password. I then asked for a second set of instructions and redoubled my efforts and still no sucess i tried to reset tghe password but I don't have a sync tab setup under firefox/tools/options. If allowed to cancel the sync key and start over again knowing the pitfalls I have encountered I would be succeswful. i THINK FIREFox is the best system I enjoy using it every day. thankyou
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac. -
I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem. I started the initial backup. It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)." Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?
Thanks,

oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983 -
How to delete all photos and start over
is it possible to delete everything in i-photo and start over again from scratch. I have dvd copies of everything, I want to start over just like the first time I opened the program.
new albums, new folders, ect---I really screwed up everything and want to start overJust go into the pictures folder and delete the iPhoto Library. The next time you start iPhoto it will create a new one.
Just in case, you might want to rename it instead. That way you can still access the old library if you have to. When you find that you don't need it, you can delete it. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I am stuck in a loop and want to delete the iCloud account I set up and start over. How?
If you acquired content with the old Apple ID, you also forfeit the content. Content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another nor does Apple merge IDs. It would be best to reacquire use of the ID than to abandon it if you have content because that is the only ID that can redownload the content or update it. Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the password for the account.
Otherwise, if none of that matters, just abandon the ID and everything associated with it, delete everything from your devices and libraries. Then create a new Apple ID and start over. -

I am trying to sign into iCloud and I am informed "THIS APPLE ID IS VALID BUT IS NOT AN iCLOUD ACCOUNT". Which makes no sense to me. But in the mean time I have purchased some songs and I can't get them on my ipod nana because I can't sign in. Can I delete this ID and start over?????
OK, I just click the "cloud" in my itunes account and re-synced my ipod nano and I now have the songs I bought, this was really a stupid venture. But I am now enjoying my purchases on my ipod. SORRY TO HAVE TAKEN UP THE SPACE
