Library list came back after reformat??

OK, this is just too weird. I reformatted my computer. I assumed that I lost my library and playlists. I reinstalled ITunes after the reformat and then I found that all was restored as it was before the reformat! Please, someone explain this one to me. Is this info saved by a server, and then reinstalled? Whatever, I like it.

I figured this out. I always backup My Documents. When I reformated I put My Documents back. In there is My Music, which includes ITunes and all the needed info.
Cool!!!

Reset Mail & Address Book prefs back after Archive & Install

Please let me know what files I need to move around to get back my old mail files & address book. Also some of my programs won't start. They say they are missing files. What do I do?

Okay, here is the whole story with this:
I left on vacation & came back 7 days later. As I booted & began to try to download my vacation pics from my camera, it seemed really slow, so I had to force shut down. When I tried to reboot, it doesn't get past the gray screen with the apple & progress indicator. It just spins & spins but goes nowhere. I have seen where people have posted that they came back after a couple hours & their computer was working. No luck here, I left it on all day while I was at a work, & it was still stalled at the same spot when I came home. Below are the things I have tried:
1. DiskWarrior. (I can get it to boot from the CD using the C command on startup.) It ran through replacing the directory. Found a bunch of errors but fixed them. Shows the hard drive is fine. After rebooting & the computer still stalling, I tried DiskWarrior again but it showed nothing wrong.
2. Tried zapping PRAM & NVRAM. No luck.
3. Disk Utility. I ran disk utility. It found no disk errors. Tried again, still stalls.
4. Tried holding down shift key to start in safe mode, but it does nothing at all.
5. I did a search on Apple.com & found where it said to find the file BaseSystem.pkg & get it into /Library/Receipts. Replaed the file with the one from the Tiger install CD. Still stalls.
6. Decided to just go do an Archive & Install to replace the old system, but it won't let me. Says I have a newer version & have to do a clean install. This would cause me to loose a bunch of important files that I haven't backed up lately (I know! I know! I'm bad!!!). Freaked a bit.... It would take me forever to burn cds of all my files...
7. OS 9. So I thought I would try to startup in OS 9.2, & that works. So I am assuming that it is an issue with OS X Tiger.
8. I also tried to boot up without anything plugged in but the keyboard & mouse. Still stalled.
9. I also tried repairing the permissions using Disk Utility from the Tiger CD, but it gave me an error "No Valid Packages".
10. Also, I also held down Command V & this is the jabberwacky that come up:

Kept trying and trying & got it to let me verify/repair the permissions. Then I verify/repair the disk. Everything was fine. I was able to back up all my document files in OS9. But I still had them because the I did the archive & install. But the inbox for my mail, along with my address book (& some other stuff I am sure I will miss soon) I would like to get back to normal. Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Heidi

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine:Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on? the WD disk has mounted??

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?" I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

Trying to upload itunes library after reformatting...

A couple of weeks ago my ipod starting skipping through songs as though it was stuck on fast forward. After going through the recommended troubleshooting fixes, it got to the point where the ipod wouldn't even turn on... it would just flash the apple logo over and over again.
According to the ipod support site, when this happens the ipod needs to be put into disk mode and then completely reformatted. I did this last night. After reformatting it, I hooked it back up to my computer so it would upload all of the songs in my itunes library back onto the ipod. Since I had well over 1000 songs to upload, I decided to let it run all night long.
This morning I got up to find an error on the computer saying that itunes.exe had timed out and could not complete the action. The ipod itself still said "Do Not Disconnect" and when I tried to restart the upload, the whole computer froze.
Is there a timeout setting on itunes that is going to prevent me from uploading everything in my library back onto the ipod? I searched the preferences and such and found nothing, but this is really frustrating because after having to restart my computer this morning after it froze, it started uploading again at song 1 as though it did nothing last night.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Have you tried restoring your iPod?
Restore your iPod.
Connect your iPod.
Go to "Edit->Preferences->iPod".
Select your setting in "music" to "manual".
After that, go back to your library, select about 100 songs in the library (to start with), and drag-and-drop them into the name of your iPod in the left source panel.
See if this manual way works instead of the automatic way (I was presuming that your setting was for automatic). Drag your songs to your iPod at about 100 songs at a time.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT204074 Watching a TV series, purchasing them one Ep at a time. Anyway after watching Ep3 I purchased Ep 4 but got a call so my laptop i went into sleep mode. Just came back n now it says that 90 days

'You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 67 days.'
What is this? It's the most frustrating thing, and I just wnt to scream 'I DIDN'T'. 23 days ago I did because I was unaware of the new 90 day rule.
But this time, i didn't do anything. I was watching a TV series, and I was purchasing the episodes one at a time (in hopes that this would encourage me to stop and go to sleep after i finished the next one). Anyway I had just finished watching episode 3 and purchased 4 and it had begun to download, when I left my laptop to go get something to eat came back n it had obviously gone into sleep mode. so had to continue the download BUT when I try to continue the download the 'message' pops up. I haven't signed out, it's purchased under j_akale, so I don't understand.

Frist tip, after installing software updates (I assure your machine started off with 10.4.2 and when you first used it, you were promted to update to 10.4.4.), go into the utlities folder (under applications) open disk utlitity and verifity and repaire disk permissions, this will greatly boost preformace and may fix your problem. (In fact do this once a week) Go ahead and run the Techtool (Applecare hardware test CD) and check for any problems. If these come up with nothing, I'd call Applecare and tell them what is happening. Applecare will cover you at any Apple dealer and some Apple resellers as well. Going elsewhere will kill your warrenty BTW.

Dear All,
I have purchased IPhone 5S in Florida Mall when I was traveling to US from India.I bought this phone in unlocked condition. I started my phone when I came back in India. After few days (4-5 days) it started giving blue dump regularly. Then I have contacted Authorized service centre (Maple) in India (Maharashtra – New Mumbai) and then Maple checked with Apple and Apple said this phone is not under International Warranty. But when I purchased this phone form Apple Florida Mall ,I have been told by Zach McKenzie (Sales Person) that it has an international warranty and u can approach to any authorized centre in India for any issues. And that’s the reason I have bought this phone.
But now I am in big trouble so tell me how can u help me in this regards.

Note that the iPhone warranty is NOT international and never has been. Your iPhone must be serviced in the country of purchase.

How come my Ipad suddenly doesn't want to connect to the wi-fi anymore? The server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, my ipad lists it as available, but says it's impossible to join.

the connexion wi-fi was working fine. Suddenty, the server stopped for a few minutes and when it came back on, I had no trouble using the internet on my laptop, but myIpad won't connect. The wi-fi is listed, but it says impossible to connect. I tried turning off the ipad, but the problem is still there.

Go through some basic troubleshooting steps.
Settings>WiFi>Off, restart the iPad and turn WiFi on again.
Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your home network name>Forget this Network, Restart the iPad and then try to join your network again.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Restart the iPad and try to join your network again.
Finally, you can try rebooting the router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

HT201210 Is there a way to get my contact list, music, pictures, messages, ect. back after FORCED restore?

Is there a way to get my contact list, music, pictures, messages, ect. back after a FORCED Restore? After upgrading to the ios 6.0 my phone went into what I later learned was "Recovery Mode" I didn't have option to save info before restoring phone.

Did you not back it up before installing a major firmware upgrade?
Did you back it up EVER?
You can't get back what you didn't back up.

Is there anyway to get photos back after downloading them from digital camera to iphoto?

Ok I am in panic mode because I just got home from vacation from Disney world and imported all of my photos into iPhoto like I normally do. Once it was completed I look at the photos and check them all out and accept the delete all photos on memory card option. Well I went to bed and my computer was on all night. When I came back this morning to put the photos into an album, there was an error message and I needed to reboot iphoto upon logging in. WHen I did all my photos that I just imported are gone. However, under my split events there are gray boxes showing where my photos were. Has anyone seen this happen and if so how to I refresh my iphoto or manage it after it crashes?
Please help

Was the backup before or after the update?
