Is there a way to restore an erased history?

My kids have recently started erasing the history on my computer.  I want to go back and see what they are looking at.  Is there any way to restore a history once it has been cleared?  Thanks

Not easily, that I'm aware of.  You would need to purchase a data recovery program, which I understand is very pricey. 
Maybe you could make your kids have their own "non-administrative" accounts, where they will not be able to erase hiistories?  They should have their own non-admin accounts at any rate.
All the best.  I raised my kids PC (Pre-Computer).  I can only imagine if I had to deal with their computer usage, on top of all the other stuff!
Hang in!

  • TS4036 is there a way to restore one item in the back up without erasing the entire ios devise or can you view your back up from your computer to save to the computer?

    I erased an important recording off of my iphone 5.  It was backed up to the cloud but I don't want to erase everything else to restore this.  Is there a way to restore one item or is there a way to go into the cloud on the computer and download the recording?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    One of the cons of backups is that you have to restore the whole backup in order to restore one item.
    As you have a backup, open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. After erasing the device, it will ask you to restore a backup, so follow the steps. It's long but it's the only way to get this video back

    Sync them back to the device from the supported application on the computer that you are using. That would be either Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook, iCloud or other cloud service. That is done either through iTunes, or iCloud.

  • Is there a way to restore an iPod's play count? It mysteriously disappeared

    For some random reason, my iPod decided to erase the play count of all of the songs on my iPod...but it left other things, like Genre, Date Added, Last Played, Skip Count, etc. The Last Played column especially makes no sense because it'll say that I last played a particular song "12/4/2009 12:58PM" and have the play count as 0.
    Is there any way to restore the play count? I'm particularly annoyed because I had a smart playlist that contained the top 30 most played songs on my iPod.
    And I don't think my iTunes Library would be of any use; I've stopped using the iTunes Library to manage my music for quite some time now. I only use iTunes as a middle man for dragging and dropping my music onto my iPod (so obviously I don't use the syncing feature).

    Tyler:
    First, start Task Manager. Kill iTunes.exe, iPodService.exe, and iTunesHelper.exe. Just select them and End Process on each one.
    Next, use these instructions to put the iPod into forced disk mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Now, connect it to the computer. You should be able to recognize the iPod in this way.
    If these instructions do not work, then something else is wrong, and whatever device locks up is where the problem is. Meaning that
    -if the iPod won't go into Forced Disk Mode or comes out of Forced Disk mode, then the iPod has the problem and needs to be replaced (it's not fixable by you)
    -if the computer locks up, then the computer probably needs to be formatted and have Windows reinstalled, since no Apple software is now running on the thing (you killed the only three pieces of Apple software that matter)
    This is one of those things that is simply always true. There's no trickery involved, no way you can make it behave other than the way I've laid it out above. It's a simple matter of knowing how the stuff works.
    So, I hope that helps you find the problem at least, if not to fix it. In forced disk mode, with no Apple software running, the iPod is just like any other external hard drive. Nothing special to it.

  • TS4006 is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts?

    is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts while the phone is turned off.  In my case the erase is pending the phone being turned on.  Now that I have found the phone, I don't want the deletion to happen.  How can I undo the command before turning on the iPhone?

    There's no way to block the remote wipe.  But once it's been wiped, you can perform a restore from your backup on either icloud or itunes.

  • I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

  • I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite. Is there a way to restore my playlists?

    I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite, but the playlists are gone. Is there a way to restore my playlists?
    Most of my playlists are on my iPod. If I use my iPod to transfer, will the songs double in my library? Also, how do I do this?
    Thank you for any & all info you can provide!
    Julie

    If you had backed up and restored your library properly you should have ended up with the playlists too. Did you import the media folder from the backup drive into a new library rather than restoring the entire iTunes folder?

  • All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

    I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
    I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
    Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
    Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
    Thanks

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

  • I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone.  If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account.  If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.

  • Is there a way to restore or save old events in iCal?

    I just sorted out my at iCal and figured out the syncing process with Mobile Me and iPhone. I am quite happy. A bit disappointed that Mobile Me does not do subscription calendars like holidays. Birthdays are different between iCal and Mobile me, subscribed on Mobile Me. Plus Canadian Holiday Calendar 1.0 webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/Canadian32Holidays.ics does not include Easter, humm.
    I noticed that a lot of old events have disappeared. Is there a way to restore old events or is there a preference in iCal for saving them? I have not requested to have any old items deleted

    Thanks for your thoughts!

  • Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my iPad 1.  it seems  the data and cannot turn a page or add more contacts

    Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my gen 1 ipad?  I seem to have lost the data and can't turn a page or add new contacts.  I did try to reload the contacts (and I guess everything else) from my itunes computer backup but nothing happens to the All Contacts app. everything else seems to work fine on the ipad so I'm not sure what happened to the data or why.  not sure i want to try and reset the whole ipad just for this one little app or feature...thanks in advance to any replies.

    Sorry, had to sep out.  I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location.  Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact.  So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it.  Rick
