Lost bookmark favicons when updated to Yosemite

I lost all my favicons on my bookmarks when I updated to Yosemite. How do I get them back?

This sort of things happened all the time with Quicktime updates.
At one point the simple solution was to remove any evidence of the QT install package and to download and reinstall QT. Not so sure this will work with the current software but here's how to do it.
To do a quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them. I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there. Any thoughts?

If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.

Progress bar is stuck at 50% when updating to Yosemite

I am trying to update to Yosemite OS on my MacBook Pro but the screen just shows a half finished progress bar. What should I do?? I didn't make a backup and I'm afraid to hold down the power button. Any help is much appreciated!! I've tried to wait it out for some hours now, but still no luck.

I was also was stuck for a very long time (3 hours) with progress bar at 50%. I followed Bjerglund's bravery and held the power button down and restarted again. Happy to report, it also worked for me. Thanks Bjerglund for leading the way.

Lost all apps when updating to OS4

Hi,
I updated to OS 4 yesterday and my backup failed. I stil proceeded with the update and the result was that I lost everything on the phone. When i tried resetting to a previous backup I still dont get my apps back. What should I do? I had 4 "pages" of apps, some of them really expensive. Please help me.

Itunes content is NOT included in your iphone backup. Itunes content is stored in your itunes library, so just sync to restore your itunes content. After you restore your from either from backup or as new, you must sync to restore your itunes content which is selected under the various tabs in itunes.

Lost all data when updating iPod Touch

I've managed to update my iPod software and after it was updated, all the music files disappear except for the apps. I did the restore option and it erase ALL of data inside which irritates me greatly. Now, the music and the apps are gone. I want to know how to restore all the music and apps that I have before the update. i noticed that when I update the software, it ask me to backup and so I did. However, I cannot seem to know how to execute this kind of backup.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if that will work, iTunes have already exported my music library and the music contained inside the iPod isn't located inside this computer. So it should means that iTunes will sync the music library, not from the lost data. This situation stands at updating my iPod this morning and it eradicated all the previous music data it have inside, I've tried to restore from backup but only able to restore on two time periods.

Lost Apple ID when updating

I have Iphone 4 that I recently updated to latest operating system. When I did this I lost the Apple ID I had assigned to this phone and it picked up the Apple ID I have for the computer. I want them separate, but when I try to go back to my old phone ID I get error message "This email is already linked to an Apple ID" It is! Mine! But I cannot get it back. Can amyone help?

You best bet is to just plug in into the computer you normally sync with and set it back up. You won't be able to restore your backup because the backup will be for an older version of iOS.

Lost All Songs When Updating

My daughter lost all her songs on her i-pod. She just got a new laptop and when she hooked up her I-pod for the first time, it asked, "Would you like to update and make this your computer for the I-pod?" or words to that effect. She said yes and it wiped all the songs off her i-pod. The old computer with the original downloads is gone (it was a loaner) and the hard drive wiped clean. Anyway to retrieve her songs? Help is much appreciated

Sorry, but if she synchronized her iPod to an empty iTunes library, the tracks on her iPod are probably gone. She can try a Windows file recovery utility - some claim to work with iPods, though I can't make a specific recommendation - and see if it can recover the tracks, but not having used any I don't know how well it will work. Otherwise, she'll have to reimport your CDs and restore her purchased tracks from her backup (she did make a backup, didn't she? I hope so).
For future reference, synchronization between iTunes and an iPod is one way only, from iTunes to the iPod. So if you're connecting your iPod to a new, blank copy of iTunes, you cannot let it synchronize automatically or it will delete all the tracks from the iPod. To connect an iPod with tracks to a blank copy of iTunes, you need to turn off automatic synchronization. There are instructions in other threads here on how to keep an iPod from synching automatically on connection, and on how to transfer tracks from an iPod back to iTunes.
I know this doesn't help the situation now, but just in case the issue ever arises in the future, she'll know more about what to do.

Lost all contacts when updating software

Hey I just updated to v4.6 on my Bold and now I can't find any of my contacts...calendar and outlook info still there but all of my contacts were lost...HELP!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome!
Depending on how you did the update, it may have created, on your PC, a backup file. If you did the update via USB tether on your PC (e.g., not OTA), then search your hard drive for a file with an ipd extension (*.ipd). Inspect the results (date/time of the file) and then choose one to use in the restore. Then, launch the DTM software and conduct a selective restore:

If you updated OTA or skipped the desktop backup during the update, then I am sorry for your loss, but there's nothing to be done.
Best.

Lost all data when updating to iOS 7. Help would be appreciated.

I forgot to back up my iPhone before updating to iOS 7, and lost all data. Are there any methods for restoring the data without iCloud or iTunes?

When you do get your phone set back up - USE ICLOUD TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!

"powerpc apps are no longer supported" when updated to yosemite

Updated macbook pro to yosemite and getting disclaimer that reads, "powerpc apps are no longer supported" for my microsoft office apps. Is there a way to get this problem fixed? I would hate to no longer have access to these apps and have to fork out another $200 to get my apps back.

See PeterVL57's first response.
I'm guessing you upgraded from Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and are using Office 2004. Snow Leopard was the last version of OS X to support Power PC applications. Office 2004 is the last version of Office that requires Power PC support to run. Unfortunately, there's no fix for this unless you update your software. The 2008 and 2011 versions of Office will run on Yosemite. For less costly alternatives to open and work with Office files, you can purchase iWork (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are each available in the App Store for $20) or install LibreOffice (it's free -- http://www.libreoffice.org/).
Alternatively, you could create a second partition on your Mac, install Snow Leopard and Office on this partition, and boot from this partition to use Office.

Lost my photos when updating to iOS 5

I did the update last night with apparently no problems, untill I checked the result of the backup copy of my iphone that iTunes was supposed to do during the update. Only then I realised that about one hundred of the photos I had on my iPhone had dissappeared! I tried to reinstall the backup copy and got an error message.... and I still can't recover my photos.
Has anyone experienced something like that? What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help guys!

I lost mine also. Stupidly did not back them up before doing the upload since my iPad went beautifully and only lost two apps that I was able to redownload. I dont even have the bckup that the download created. Can't find that anywhere on the computer. Looked in the directories of my phone and no luck. Wish there was some way to get back those pictures and videos of my two year old. Only two months are missing.
I also lost text messages. But, all apps are still there. Used the backup for the work iPad and it put on every single app I have!

IPhotos has lost my Photos when upgrading to Yosemite

When I upgraded to Yosemite like many people I have seen on forums there was a issue with upgrading the iPhoto library when upgrading to 9.6. Finally it looked like it had worked but now all of my photos do not appear in iPhoto. The files seem to be there still as the iPhoto library file is still1.26TB in size (i have a lot of photos). I have tried doing a full rebuild of the Library but it did nothing. I also purchased iPhoto Library Manager but this does not help either. Please can anyone help?
I am using iPhoto 9.6, OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) on a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). The Library is stored on a "My Book Thunderbolt Duo", 8TB in raid 1 configuration.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
