Is there anyway to recover synced over songs?

I bought the new iphone 5 the other day and went to sync my old iphone 4 to my new computer. I received a new laptop because the old one fried... losing all my itunes content. I foolishly thought that if I downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and plugged my old iphone 4 into it... that it would just sync/back up all my music to itunes and my library would be restored.... WRONG. The sharing option was on and it deleted my entire library and replaced it with another member of the house's library. Is there anyway to recover my old itunes songs without having a back up of them? The only music that is in my iphone now is my husbands music that synced accidentally from sharing. Mine is gone.
Thanks

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer, for just such an occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can redownload itunes purchases. You cannot get any other music.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync playlists.

How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

After updating/syncing my ipone 3gs, i have now lost several photos, is there anyway to recover?

Check the Trash in your home folder. If that hasn;t been emptied they could be there.
If not then you might have luck using a file recovery program but for that to have any chance of success you need to stop using your computer immediately. The more you use it the mote likely that the disk space were the photos still might be will be used by the OS for other purposes and then they will be truly gone.
BTW just to make sure you don;t have any backups right?
There are lot of options for data recovery software. Users have reported success with Disk Drill Media Recovery
good luck

Is there anyway to recover files permanently deleted in trash after a two month period?

I deleted some files that I thought I transferred to an external hard drive. However, after 2 months, I realized that all of the files did not transfer and I deleted them in trash about two months ago. Is there anyway to recover these files?

Probably not. All I can suggest is you contact a recovery service, but it's expensive and since you've been using the machine for over two months, most likely they're overwritten.

HT5395 Is there anyway to recover my iMessage history from my iPhone to my Mac? Thank you!

Is there anyway to recover my iMessage history from my iPhone to my Mac? Thank you!

HI,
Sorry I should have been clearer.
The only way to move any iMessages from and iPhone to a Mac is at the point when they are using the same Apple ID.
Older items are not included in this "Sync".
Messages on a Mac will read older .ichat files (Saved Chats).
It seems that the iMessages on the iPhone do get stored in any iPhone Backup and that can be used to Restore Messages from one iPhone to another.
People state that there are utilities for extracting the iMessages (either from the current display or the Backups) but I have not read that any will then enable the result to be imported in to Messages.

Is there anyway to recover damaged audio from a crash?

I am at my wit's end. This is the second time I have had soundbooth give me a message that it has had a "fatal error and needs to close" and when I reopen the file I have been working on it is completely gone.
Ugg. Is there anyway to recover previous versions of the file or Im I just out of luck and need record and edit the hours of work all over again!
If there is anyway to recover my work I would greatly appreciate any help.
When I called adobe they were happy to help for an 80 dollar service fee which wouldnt even guarantee any success in solving the problem. Thanks for your customer support Adobe! : (

Sorry I can't help with an answer you're probably hoping for, but don't think there is one that will bring your file back. When you create a project with other adobe products it makes copies of those files you are working with. Soundbooth does not and uses your sound file live, basically. If you make a change to an audio file and save it has a direct effect over your original sound file.
I think there are ways to import files where soundbooth will use them as copies, but I may be thinking of Audition from years ago...
Either way, if it's important to you, I recommend making a backup of the files you'll be working with before even thinking about opening them in any editing program, especially ones like Soundbooth. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but as long as we learn from our lessons, at least we can prevent them from repeating (hopefully). As the saying goes "Happens once, shame on you,,, happens twice, shame on me" ;-)
Take care,

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

Is there anyway to recover my computer's old user ID?

My computer was stolen, but recently returned to me. When I open it, there is a new ID, but my old computer name shows in backlogs (i.e. activity monitor and system information). Is there anyway to recover my old computer stored items?

There is hope! Open iTunes and on the right side browser select the new "Purchased" tab. There you will be able to enter your apple ID and download your purchased music from the cloud! Hope this finds your well!

No there isn't. You aren't stating which iPod that you have. If you have an iPod Touch that has wIfi access, you can download the iTunes purchased music again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the music with originally.

If I sent my Microsoft Word icon to the trash by mistake is there anyway to recover it with out an external hard drive ?

I put my Microsoft Word on my desktop, and mistakenly sent it to the trash is there anyway to recover it without having a backup hard drive ?

Drag it out of the Trash, or if you've emptied it, reinstall Word if possible. Even if you need to order replacement install disks, it's probably better and cheaper than attempting recovery.

Is there anyway to recover my calendar on the IPad?

Is there anyway to recover my calendar on the IPad? When I did synch from Mini it eliminated all entries that had been done on the IPad.

Yeah we said the same thing....quite upsetting. This was a last ditch effort to try and recoup anything I would definitely suggest anyone out there looking for a merchant services app to stay away from this one....the stupid thing gave no indication AT ALL that there was a problem!
