Lost content after a restore operation.

I received a message that a software update was available for 2nd gen Touch, but when I tried to execute the update, the thing froze and only a restore would work. The restore worked, however, the content is gone. I don't see a backup that will provide all of the music and apps previously loaded. Being new to the Touch, can anyone point me in the direction that will get all of the content back.
thanks

Yes, all of the "stuff" is under C:\My documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music or C:\My documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications or C:\My documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Previous iTunes Libraries. Some of the music content synchronizes, but not all.
Thanks.

HT203167 Lost App after iPhone restore. Who do I get the app back?

I bought iNet - Network Scanner and after a iPhone restore I can only get the free version back on my phone.
How do I download the app I have already paid for? Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so, this is completely wrong. I paid for this app and would like to be using it still. I have always backed up me iPhone and also restored it and still don't have the full functioanlity of this app, there maybe others. If I have to pay for it again then these companies are getting money for nothing which is the same as stealing from there own customers.
If anyone has any idea how to download this I would like to hear about it. I have of course tried using the Purchased link in iTunes Store but this doesn't help.

" Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so,"
It has always been very basic to ALWAYS backup your content. Did you fail to do the basics and backup your purchases.
You can redownload apps, if they are still available in the app store: See this:

Lost music after system restore

I have lost my music after a system restore do you have any suggestions.

Re-load from your backup drive.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

HT2729 Lost content on factory restore.

I had to restore factory settings on my G1 Apple TV because it was not responding. As a result, I lost purchased content that was stored there. How do I re-download purchases without having to pay for them again?

There is a known problem with some installations of Leopard rejecting the admin password. But try this first, boot from your System install disk, but don't do an install. Instead, go to the Utilities menu bar and choose Reset Password. Reset your admin account's password.

Issues while watching content after live streaming operation

Hi,
1)We have performed a live streaming of an event using Azure Media Services , we streamed the entire event
which was of about 5-6 hrs duration . But at the end we came to know that it has streamed only last 1 hour of
entire event.
Can you let me know what might be the issue?
2)We performed a live streaming of an event in 2 parts using azure media services. After 2 hours we stopped the streaming of 1st part and deleted the channel for 1st part and we started streaming of another part by creating another channel . We are unable to
view the 1st part through content url while we are able to view the 2nd part through content url?
Can you let me know what might be the issue?
Thanks,

The fan is speeding up to cool the GPU. The GPU (graphic's chip) heats up because video's and game's work the GPU much harder than normal desktop activities.
When was the last time you checked and cleaned the air intake grill on the bottom of your iMac?
I shutdown (stopping the fans), disconnect the power and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work on my Mac's a couple of times a year to keep them running cool.

How to edit ABOUT and HELP contents after app build operation?

I hope people can read the HELP contents and ABOUT information from the program after I build the VI into an exe file or an install file. I don't know where to edit those informations. Thanks!

After you build a VI into an application, (.exe) nothing in it can be changed since any changes would require the application to be recompiled, and that requires the LabVIEW development environment.
On a Windows PC, the "Help" file is external to the application, so you could setup in the VI Proerties > Documentation the link to the exteranl Help file, then edit that file whenever you need to. This path would have to setup before you build the .exe and would not be able to be changed.
You could use a similar approach for an "About" screen. Make a sub-vi for the About screen, and have the application builder set to "Small target file with exteranl file for suVIs" under the Build Options. This will create two files for your built application. An .exe th
at is your top level VI, and an .llb that contains all your subVIs. When you need to change the About info, you would just need to modify your original About dialog, then copy it into the .llb of the built application overwritting the original one.
If this is not what you are asking, please provide some more detail.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

HT1386 every time I try to sync my phone and restore my content after I updated my iPhone, iTunes goes through the prompts and then says "cancelling sync" at step 5. I cannot restore my apps or music!

HT201269 I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

This might be because that your game update or other software automatic update killed your contacts. You should make a frequency and regular backup for your iPhone so that all the data could be renewed to your backup data. Whenever you lost iPhone data, you have a choice to restore from iTunes. That is easy and free.
However, this is not the end of the world if you don't have any backup of your iPhone contacts, you can recover contacts with iPhone data recovery software, but that need you to pay for it. So making a backup is a good habit. Do you know how to use iPhone data recovery software to recover iPhone contacts without backup? If not, you can search in YouTube to get step-by-step guide to recover iPhone contacts from iPhone without backup. This is such an example: How to Recover iPhone Contacts - Step-by-step Guide.

Restore through DFU mode, lost content!

i restored my ipod through DFU mode, and lost all the apps, music, and all other content. I restored it through the previously synced version, and still no content. How do i get my apps back?

I understand. Thanks. Maybe I should rephrase my question.
I had come to the conclusion that I needed to do a restore of my iPod from a backup, since I was having a big problem. Since I was going to restore from the same backup, regardless of which method I chose, would more data from that same backup have been restored if I had chosen the "recovery mode" instead of "DFU"? I'm asking because it seems that once you get past the factory OS re-installation, the steps to restore from a backup seem to be the same, no matter which method you choose. So, would using "recovery" mode restore more data from a backup than "DFU" mode would? Like, would data be pulled from a backup any differently if I had chosen "recovery"? Thanks again, and sorry if I sound redundant.

TS4036 Trying to restore, I've tried a dozen networks and I keep getting a "lost connection" after an hour or two, EVERYTIME. Using Cox Wi-fi with a net gear 300 router. Any suggestions?

Thanks, helped me figure out a bigger problem there was with my router's access control and all kinds of crazy numbers that needed to be changed, but I got it.
Problem is fixed as far as I can tell!

HT201272 I lost an app after I restored my iPod Touch and now I can't find it

Before I restored my iPod I moved a majority of the songs I downloaded on the app to my computer. After I restored the iPod I downloaded the main apps I used, but I couldn't find the music app that I payed for months ago. I've looked through purchases All & Not On This iPod but I just can't find it. What can I do?

If the app is no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to re-download it. Do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes or on a backup of your downloads that you can use to re-sync it to your iPod ? Or if the app is still in the store, does it now need a higher iOS version than you have on your iPod ?

Snow Leopard will not boot after TM Restore

I had an email issue (lost 5 accounts) that has turned into a nightmare. Apple Support told me to restore my entire hard drive from my Time Machine. I booted to the DVD and selected a restore point and 12 hours later I get the Apple with the spinning wheel. I have tried two restore points - same result. It will not boot in safe mode either. I ran the Verify Drive utility and the drive checks out.
The drive is about 75% full after this TM restore operation so it appears it is pulling all of my data into the machine.
I have a number of backups of my system including a full one on ARQ plus all the TM backups. I am just not versed in the Apple OS enough to know how to recover from this point.
Q's:
1. Is it possible that the data and the Apps have been restored but the OS is simply corrupt on the TM?
2. Is there a Repair feature on the SnoL DVD or am I faced with a fresh install?
3. If I do a fresh install, can I simply copy the Apps folder back in the machine and my apps work correctly? (I realize a few may not that have to have components in browsers or whatever).
Suggestions on recovery approach...
Thanks, Uursa

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
That's possible. Once you can get it to boot you can explore that.
2. Is there a Repair feature on the SnoL DVD or am I faced with a fresh install?
Soon after booting from that DVD you should see a Utilities menu with Disk Utility under it. With Disk Utility you can perform a "Repair Disk" operation.
3. If I do a fresh install, can I simply copy the Apps folder back in the machine and my apps work correctly?
You could first try installing OS X 10.6 over what's already there. You might also learn more about what's wrong by doing a "verbose boot':

Notes on third-party apps closing (not really crashing) after a restore

Hello,
I'm adding the umpteenth message about a problem that, after happening basically with each single iPhone change since my old iPhone 3G onwards, I would say it's pretty common.
I have solved this problem recently with a third sequence of actions, so I'm posting my brief "history of restores" for the benefit of others. I hope I've tagged this post eloquently enough to make it easy to find.
So, in most (if not all) cases of previous restores I've bumped in the classic issue where after the restore process (which, BTW, involves always a few more sudden phone restarts than expected) only the "native" iPhone apps run normally. All the others appear for an instant and then close. They don't really crash because both in iOS 6 and iOS 7 you can see them as "running" by double-tapping the iPhone front button. Moreover, those with active notifications will actually notify the user regularly. Their UI, though, doesn't go past the splash screen.
The underlying cause, also considering it relates only to apps downloaded via App Store, is presumably some DRM-related information that gets messed up during the restore process.
My personal experience included previously two distinct solutions, and each of those only worked in that occasion, i.e. has been useless in the other cases:
The oldest, and still most documented solution, was just to download, via iPhone, a new app from the app store. After a restart, or maybe even without one, the new app and all the others started working.
The second, less mentioned online but still pretty widespread, was to sign out from the Apple Store on the iPhone, and then sign back in.
This time, where I got a replacement for my iPhone 4s because of the common problem of the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip getting "burned" or dislodged, I tried both the solutions above but they didn't work. In the process, I've found other possible solutions that didn't work:
Deauthorizing iTunes on the Mac and then reauthorizing it.
Getting a new app via iTunes and then syncing the iPhone
Sign out/in with iCloud on the iPhone.
I was therefore close to abandoning my 877 apps already configured and organized in folders in the previous backups, and willing to accept the burden of setting up the iPhone as a new phone.
Nevertheless, I still hoped that a "mixed approach" would work and, indeed, it worked.
Here is the sequence that worked in my latest case:
Restore the iPhone as a new phone
Open the App Store on the iPhone and get a new app, not among those already downloaded previously
Open that app and see that it works (actually, after an iPhone replacement steps 1-3 would make sense anyway to check that the phone works properly)
Start a restore from a previous backup
As soon as the apps start syncing again, open the first app already sync'd and check that it works. It should work, that's what happened to me, and so you can wait the whole time required to sync back all the apps.
My experience involves also a falsification of the statement that the problem resides on individual backups. This is false because I've used the same backup, at step 4, that I selected before going through 1-3 and that was not working initially. Moreover, after step 5, I've realized that the old backup I had used was too old because yesterday evening, while I had my iPhone still misbehaving with third-party apps, I took a few pictures that would have gone lost using the old backup. I have then started again from step 4 with a backup from the night after the pics, when I was fiddling to fix my issues. Also the newer backup, clearly done while the apps where "bad", ended with all my apps working again.
Basically, once the "physical" phone runs third-party apps, than any backup would work. The (missing) authorization portion that causes the misbehaviour might be related to the phone IMEI, or some other piece of information that is not included in backups.
Does anyone know a specific thread here or blog post on some website where there is a collection of cases like mine?
I'm not looking forward to seeing what voodoo variation will be required the next time I replace my iPhone...
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Giovanni
