Itouch stolen and computer crashed - need help recovering

Hope someone can help with this. My touch was stolen at the beginning of the week. Followed up by a motherboard crash on my Dell.
I've pulled the hard drive and put it into an external case and attached it to my netbook which is an authorized computer. I can't deauthorize the old computer.
So now I've got an iPhone4 and would like to get all my music, purchased and otherwise onto my netbook and synced with my iPhone.
I did a search on restore from backup but didn't really find a solution as I don't have the touch any more.
Any help on figuring out how to work through this would be appreciated.

Copy the entire \Music\iTunes\ folder from the old drive to \Music\ on the new drive.

TS4062 My original computer crashed need help trasnfering music

My orginal computer crashed and I bought a new computer and downloaded itunes i lost most of my music (no problem I just reloaded it from the cds) but now I can not get the music to sync like it did before. Could it be due to me trying to back up my info on the cloud? Right now when I plug the phone into the computer via usb cord I am told that itunes cannot find the computer and that I need to return to factory settings. I really don't want to have to do that. Any help would be wonderful

Computer crashed need to recover work

How do I recover work in final cut pro x after my computer crashed? Is there an auto save file

Hi, I've been abe to reinstate corrupt or "damaged" FCPX projects by simply digging into the structures where you maintain your FCPX project as follows:
/volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/
and listing these directories that are common to ALL FCPX projext in that file system. These are:
Backups
CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Old Versions
Render Files
Shared Items
The CurrentVersion.fcpproject object is the one that is trying to be LOADED by FCPX whe u expose or select in the UI... so
just rename it (CurrentVersion.fcpproject -> CurrentVersion.fcpproject_old) or MOVE it somewhere where out of Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing u might want to get at it later if u have too.)
Simply navigate to /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Backups and DUPLICATE (copy) the first one (e.g. CurrentVersion (655 - 2011-09-25 02-18-36 +0000).fcpproject) in that folder back to the corrupted project folder Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing and rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Fire up (launch) FCP X 10.0.7 and see if your project comes back to life!
IF not repeat the above steps and this time try each of the .fcpprojects in /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Old Versions
Usually you can get your work back.
I recall in a previous version of FCPX you could cntl+"gear down" (RMB) on the FCPX Icon in the dock and previous versions of projects would show up for selections. I'll stand corrected. Anyway Its not around in 10.0.7 or .6
There's probably a better way to do tis.. I'm interested ofcourse . This works quite well though....
Yeah timemachine.app is lovely but useless for the large objects in Final cut EVEnts and Final Cut PRojects that are maintains on filesystems that are not in the main sart up file system. I'd suggest that your acquire soem additional storgage ( a self powered external powersupply disk, cloud or LTO tape etc) and simply rsync -rav --progress your Final Cut Projects from your production file systems to make an up to date instance of your work. If you have the original media elsewhere there would be less need to also maintin this.
Try this and post your results back for others to see.

Computer Crashed need help!!!

My computer crashed and I had to get a new computer...I lost all of my itunes songs in my library but I still have them all on my ipod..is there any way I can get them onto my new computer??? I also have Windows not a Mac.

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.

Old computer crashed, need help getting MP3's from ipod onto new computer

Old computer crashed, need to recover info to new computer that has FF now installed and somethings setup. Need to pick and chose what is brought over from old

Had to buy new computer and it is windows 8.1 vs the old was XP. It took 10 days to get the cabling to connect the old HD to new computer USB port.
I need the computer for my work so I had to manually configure and set up enough to keep working. This includes FF.
Now that I have access to the old HD I want to selective bring over things from the old FF configuration and set up as I do not want to destroy the what I have already set up and configured. I guess you could say I am looking to do a selective merge of the two configuration and user data files.

See this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile
Any file that you copy from the old Profile into the new Profile ''(will overwrite the new file)'' will delete the info that is in the new Profile.
Tell us exactly what data you want to actually "merge" and we might have a solution for you. Bookmarks are easy to "merge" once you know how; other types of data aren't as easy to "merge".

Update 10.6.3 update made my computer crash, need help

last night i saw the update and so i started the update on my late 2008 model macbook pro. it went fine up to about 98% then a box popped up and stated an error has occurred and was not successful in installing. it then said to restart, to which i did and now during the apple logo when the circle dash thing spins, it just does that and wont get past this point. i tried even safe mode and the bar gets about halfway and then goes away and it starts spinning. i just tried a PRAM test and still nothing. any suggestions on what to do guys. i heard about sometimes you can get a firmware patch from apple and put it on cd and it can repair something. i have no clue but would like to know what to do. my 1 year warranty is also up and dont want to shell out money to apple.

I had this happen too, I updated it two nights ago and haven't used it since. I turned it on last night around seven after not using all day and the entire screen had different hues of purple. I called Apple and they weren't any help. They told me that I needed to make an appointment for the following Thursday. I told them I was a college student and it didn't seem to matter to them how much I needed my laptop. I later called Best Buy (whom I purchased it from) and they told me to do a safe boot which "fixes" some bugs (you can do this by powering on your macbook while holding the shift key) it worked for a while but then it seemed to not work on a normal boot (i.e restarting). I guess we'll see what happens during my appointment at the genius bar.

Computer crash need help

I was running a core 2 duo my drives were set up in a raid config with Vista O.S. one of the drives failed and i lost everything I had pic, music, video. this was the week after i sent back myworld book external drive for a failure. Turn out there was a lighting strike and i ended up losing a printer as well. the only bright side to this whole mess is all the music i had is on my IPOD classic 160GB. Is there any way to import the music onto my new system? or is it lost forever PS i am now running quad core O.S. xp

Hey there,
There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
When you plug it in, make sure to hit cancel if it opens up iTunes and asks you if you would like to transfer purchses, or erase and sync.

Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back and apps back?

Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contact to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone

If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
