Is there a lifeboat for iPod tunes that have been "sync'd away"?

My computer crashed. Yes, just like the commercial it is a PC running windows XP(my other computer is a Mac mini). I had to reformat the hard drive of the PC. All my songs remained on my iPod without any other digital back up. I reinstalled iTunes albeit with an empty library. I had downloaded a few songs to the new library. When I connected the iPod it automatically sync'd with the "new" library completely removing any access to songs that were already on the iPod disk. Is there any way of retrieving or gaining access to the songs on this iPod that in reality have not been erased?

Unlikely. There are data recovery programs that you can buy to possibly retrieve the songs, but none that I know of have been proved to be anywhere near successful.
What makes it even harder is that you've now begun to overwrite what was previously on your iPod.
If you want to try any of these programs, they're mentioned in this post.

Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
-- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
-- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
So, what is most valuable to you?
-- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
-- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
Of course, you can do a bit of both.
Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
Good luck!

HT4847 i want to recover photos that are on my iphone and ipod touch that have been stolen how do i go about doing so?

If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device. If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup. Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad. If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

How do I delete my pics that have been synced to my iPad?

How do I delete my pics from my iPad that have been synced from my MacBook?

You are not getting the same screen as you used to sync them to your iPad ? e.g. if you select the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (option-command-S enables the sidebar) then on the right-hand side of the screen the last tab should be Photos :
If the tab isn't showing then is your iTunes screen wide enough for the tabs to fit ?
To delete all synced photos try selecting an empty folder on that tab and sync that.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you have a backup that includes these photos, you could restore your phone.

How can i delete photos that have been synced from my computer to my i-pad?

I want to delete photos that have been copied from my computer to my i-pad,i can delete albums but not phots?

If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

Are there any good basic/feature phones that have been discontinued?

My brother currently has the Samsung Intensity II and it's giving him a lot of problems. After troubleshooting with tech support it is best for him to replace the phone. The insurance deductible is $45 but the phone will likely be refurbished. I am seeking a non-smartphone for him that I can purchase via eBay or Craigslist. Because he is 16, he wants some type of smartphone. Preferably the iPhone or a low/mid-grade Android phone. I won't allow him to get a smartphone until he gets a job and pays for the phone and monthly data plan.
I am sort of disappointed in the selection of basic phones on the Verizon website - there are only 7 phones under $100. It seems backwards that there are 23 smartphones under $100. The conspiracy theorist in me would think this is a ploy to coax customers to move towards smartphones but I digress. I have been looking at the Samsung Brightside and the ZTE Adamant (discontinued - not offered on vzw.com) and they seem pretty cool and reasonably priced on eBay. Are there any other basic or feature phones that you would recommend [including discontinued and upcoming phones]?
I would rather not purchase a phone directly through Verizon so that it does not extend the contract or interfere with his upgrade date (to ensure that he will be able to afford the phone of his choice when he is ready).

Another vote for the Env3 - son and daughter both had them (18 and 21) and they were more than adequate phones and worked well for them. My son (now nearing 24) is still using his though he is eligible for an upgrade now - he likes it and sees no reason to change until it quits on him.
The Alias (original) was a good phone for my daughter before her Env3, and I really enjoyed my LG Voyager, touchscreen. None of the phones require a data plan, if you can find them.

Broadcast Date for TV Shows that have been converted from DVD

How do you put Broadcast Date(s) for episodes of TV Shows that have be converted(using converted software) from a DVD on iTunes.

You have to have a valid credit card that is registered to an address in which that credit card is issued. So if you want to use the U.S. App Store or iTunes store on your iPad, your credit card must be a U.S. registered card with a U.S. Billing address.
If you want to change the store to the U.S. store, go iTunes and tap the Music tab. Swipe down to the bottom of the screen and tap on the ID in the lower left corner. If your friend's ID is showing you have to sign out of that ID and sign in with your own. After you are signed in to your account. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Swipe down to Country/Region and you can change to the U.S. store in there. You can also edit the credit card information in there as well to add your credit card.
You can delete TV shows by launching the Videos App and then tap and hold down on the icon of the TV shaow that you want to delete until the X pops up.Tap the X to delete the show.

HT204291 I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks OS 10.9.2 and discovered that my airplay mirroing feature to my AppleTV (version 6.1) is not working. Is there any fix for it? I have been waiting for 4 months for a patch to come out. Any ideas?

Any ideas on a patch or fix for the Airplay mirroing feature to AppleTV? Home sharing to AppleTV is also broken after I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2.
Thanks.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.

How to Run a Report for Blanket PO that have been OVER Invoiced (over limit

Hi All,
How do I run a report in ME2N, where I would want to see all the Blanket POs (Framework Orders) that has a "Actual Value" (the amt invoiced so far) which is Greater than the Overall Limit (specified in the "Limits" tab)?
Are there any fields in the Dynamic Selection in ME2N? I coudn't Find any......How can I compare two fields in the Blanket PO, for example "Overal Limit' > "Actual Value"?? How to put this selection criteria in ME2N
Edited by: Duke Dukester on Sep 17, 2008 10:31 AM

You will not get this information via ME2N but you can get via ME2S
once you execute the ME2S you will see the PO lines and if oyu double click on it than you will get the all information you are looking but the exact query directly not possible with ME2S
The best way is write the query using table ESUH and EKPO
joint EKPO to ESUH and do the query based on your requirements.
you can get the package number from EKPO and based on the package number you can retrive the data form ESUH table

What program on my Atrix recognizes the .ps extnesion, for viewing pages that have been priinted to file?

Non of the factory installed software will open the .ps files.

I don't know of any Android app that will display PostScript (.ps) files. There are a many free PostScript to PDF converters, I would think that would be the best solution.

HT204150 Is there a way to retrieve contacts that have been deleted in iCloud ?

My husband has a iCloud acct and so do I... Some how my contacts were transferred to his iCloud acct. He deleted all my contacts so now I have no contacts. how do I get them back to my IPhone ?

On her device, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting her contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Is there any way to restore contacts that have been deleted from the icloud website?

All my contacts were deleted from icloud - no intervention on my end -(I spent hours updating and eliminating duplicates after syncing from MS Outlook and don't look forward to that exercise again) thanks

Thank you CS, I am using a MBP.
What I am trying to say is that I still have my contacts in MS Outlook, but are outdated- many duplicates - wrong/incomplete addresses that took quite a while to get in shape and then put in the cloud.
I still dont know how it was erased (sitting at work one minute no issue then at noon all was gone).
I am trying to evade the hours needed to clean up my address book again. ( and I have definitely learned my lesson - alwasy keep a backup).
