Hi.
"Should I follow mac or Dr.Smoke?"
As you restarted follow Apple (Mac)
"can't finish because "database3" is in use."
Make sure that iTunes isn't open.
"Can I just start everything fom the begining?"
If you mean reinstall the OS then yes, if you want but it's a bit drastic. I suggest that you read through Archive & Install if that's what you decide to do.
Good luck,
Adrian

Water was accidentally poured on my computer and it was completely ruined, I lost everything I had including all of my applications.I have now purchased a new computer and would like to redownload the copy of Photoshop Elements that I purchased last year can I do this? How can I do this? And for crying out loud how do you get to talk directly to a customer service representative?
Which version of photoshop elements and operating system?
Perhaps one of these is it:

I've held back on updating to ios7 on my iPad because when I I updated my phone I lost everything and had to go to an apple store. Will this happen to iPad? Can anyone advise me please?
There shouldn't be any problem but, if you are worried, do a backup before the update.

For some reason, all the memory is lost, all the apps are like brand new. Any way to recover the info?
If you backup your iPad you can restore from the backup. The iPad app data is retained in the backup.
Did you update over the air or with iTunes on your computer? -
I accidently unplugged my iphone thinking it had finished backing up, i lost everything and had to restore. Everything came back except my music. I have tried to put it back but cannot get it to sync back hope someone can help!
Hi lynette,
With your device connected to the computer, click on the Music tab, and uncheck the Sync Music box and sync. Then go back in and reselect the Sync Music box (and any other filters you want), and re-sync. See if that will download your music.
Cheers,

After Authorized Service Provider my Mac went back in time and I lost everything!
Yesterday my screen started showing weird horizontal lines, so I took it to an Apple ASP for a quick look.
First I created a new Admin account to protect my existing admin account. The guy would be using this one throughout his diagnostic.
The guy opened the back of the notebook, tweaked the cable connecting the screen and the logicboard, and turned the notebook back on.
After that he said he would perform a quick analysis/diagnostic that all ASPs do upon starting a service. The diagnostic showed that my battery needs to be serviced, everything else was fine.
His conclusion was that the screen needs to be changed as the cable cannot be changed without the screen. I got the notebook back, and he recommended I buy a new used computer, as servicing both the battery and the screen would cost at least 700-800USD in itself.
-> So fine, I take the computer back home, and turn it on. I log into my own personal admin account, not the one I had created for the guy.
Result:
* My notebook has jumped back in time: applications and files are missing; settings are odd; and worst of all......
* my Safari no longer opens: it says
Safari cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Background:
Last fall I had the same issue: I had upgraded my Snow Leopard to Lion in 2011, and later to Mountain Lion last fall 2012. After doing so, my Safari no longer opened, saying the same as above. Without Safari I could not update anything, as to use App Store one needs Safari as a background software.
So I needed to do a clean install of my Lion and my Mountain Lion, and I did so while partitioning my harddrives to two partitions.
Now:
I seem to be back in time, re-experiencing what happened last fall. Meanwhile I have lost everything I had on before taking the notebook to the service: I lost my Safari, its settings and open browsers, but I also lost a whole bunch of other features, apps, etc.
I tried returning to a restore point in my Time Machine - no difference. The issue with Safari persists.
I don't want to do another clean install, it took a lot of effort and would require me to invest in a new external harddrive of 2TB. If there is a way to restore Safari without a clean install, I would prefer it.
Please help! Much appreciated.
ZnufkinDear ds store, thank you for replying. If I may clarify, I am not looking assistance on the screen or battery issue, it was just to give the background as to why I had to take the notebook to an ASP and why the guy had to do a diagnostic with the notebook.
The problem is with Safari not opening, and with my OS X going 'back in time' to a restore point where my earlier problem with Safari occurred. I don't understand what the guy did to reverse my OS X to a distant point back in time in last November, and why my Safari problem reappeared even though I had done a clean install to fix it.
Thank you! -

Hello. My iphone 4 got stuck on the itunes logo. I had to restore it and have lost everything. Is there anything I can do to get my photos back?
Not easily, the recovery mode erases the device, but you can see if any of these data recovery tools may work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689

I had my ipod 4gen itunes on a computer that crashed. With the new computer I update it to the lastest version. I hit the wrong transfer button and lost everything. How do I get my old songs, apps, and money back from my old account, if thats possible?
I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.
Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud? If so, the data is gone.
If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing. -
My computer was acting up so i had to restore it and i lost everything. how do i get the songs back that i already paid for?
The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
