Lost everything on 10.2.1.1 update, need help.

Okay, I was syncing my iPod Touch 3g to my pc when the power to the house went out. Power came back on, booted my pc, opened iTunes and iTunes message box popped up saying I need to restore my iPod. wouldnt let me do anything so I hit ok. It restored itunes and when it came up it didnt have all the stuff I had on it before. Then it made me restore my iPod because it put my iPod in restore mode. Now my ipod has nothing but what the ipod comes with stock and itunes is missing like 70% of my apps. What can I do? I tried rolling my pc back to before any of this happen but when I did after restoring my pc and opening up itunes I ge some error message saying "missing files for itunes" and it wont open.

*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* as *iTunes Library (Corrupt)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch (Windows) or Music Folder Files Not Added (Mac) and Super Remove Dead Tracks (Mac) for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working *make a backup!*

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

HT201210 lost everything on my iphone cannot restore saying need to free up space cannot free up space because there is nothing on the phone

lost everything on my iphone cannot restore saying need to free up space cannot free up space because there is nothing on the phone

My Iphone is telling me the same thing. I have already removed all unneeded apps, pics, docs, & even saved photo stream and deleted pics from my phone. I have removed all of my music from the itunes sync process and in addition have checked and unchecked the box for the music sync. It has continuously shown that I do have more than enough free space available. After all of this I have 14.75 gigs free. I will now see if I can put music back and sync. Please let me know if you (or anyone else reading this) has found or has a solution. This is extremely frustrating after I worked so hard cleaning my 382 gigs of music with Tune up. Even though I had this app, it was still time consuming. Ugggg! Would love to see my music correctly on my Iphone but now this! Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.

I restored my i p hone and lost everything, how do i get it back?, HELP

Hi All,
I am really frustrated, last night my phone decied to turn itself off and on again and when i looked at my messages they had all disappeared. :-(
So i took someones advice this morning and clicked restore, i was told this would restore all the stuff from my last back up which was two weeks ago, so great i thought this would work. But instead it backed up from today and restored from the back up today not the back up two weeks ago so now i have lost all my pictures and my phone has gone back to a new user phone. So all the settings have been restored the whole lot. I am very upset about this and I wandered if anybody knew how i would get all my things back
Please help and comments greatly appreciated
Thank You
Sarah

A simple answer to your question is "No".
For the future, make sure that "automatic sync" is un-checked in your iTunes and next time you want to restore from a backup, right click on your phone's name and select "restore from backup" before syncing your phone to iTunes.

Bootcamp partion lost after OS X update, Need help repair my disk.

Hi.
After updating to Yousimiti yesterday, i encountered som problems with my bootcamp partion.
I wasn't able to boot from the partion. I googled a lot, and found some posts, where the problem was resolved, and followed the following steps:
sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0
p
setpid 4
07
flag 4
p
write
y
After this i was able to boot form my Drive, but it tells me: "Operating system missing".
Then i started investigating further i saw that my bootcamp partion now only is 60GB, where before it was 100GB.
When i first made my Bootcamp i made it 60GB which i fast found out was not enough for the programs i needed, so i used a program on windows to expand the patron, from empty space on the disk. Now i have 40GB blokced space, and the 60GB Bootcamp.
From what i have read the problem is that Windows and OS X does not use the same Data table format.
Is it possible to Rewrite the datable, os that OS X knows that the Windows part is 100GB and not only 60?
Underneath here i linked to some screenshots of the problem, Hope you guys can help me! (Sorry that it is danish, hope you see et anyways)
And there some info that i got from a "Partition inspector app":

If u need more info please tell me!

The drive is dying, I doubt you can fix it, but...
10.6 has been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Lost everything by accidently find my iphone app, need everything back

I accidently somehow erased my iphone of everything. I don't know it get it back. I don't understand any of iTunes steps or tricks. I am desperate.

Are you saying all the data on your phone has been erased?
If so, the only way to get back your data, is to restore from your icloud or itunes backup.
Assuming you backup your phone on a regular basis.
If your asking questions about iTunes, I can assume you've don't back up to itunes.
If you don't have a backup either itunes or icloud, then all your data is gone.
You can only sync back your apps and music via itunes.

Unsure about doing 4.2 ipod update - need help please!

When I plug my ipod touch into my mac and indicate that I do want to do the 4.2 update the following message appears 'Updating to 4.2 will delete all media, including itunes store purchases. to preserve your media apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve apps, contacts, calendars, text messages and other settings. please don not interrupt the update which may take an hour or more'....... my question is, should I do this update?? From this message is sounds as though my ipod will be totally wiped clean. Is that what will happen? I don't sync when I plug in my ipod, I manually manage my music so I've read others comments regarding their success in unplugging their ipod after their update and replugging it back in and once it syncs all the music is there, playlists too. But since I don't sync I am concerned about mine. What is the best thing for me to do?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I'm not an advanced computer person - I consider myself an 'advanced beginner' and I'm really nervous about messing this up.

I just did the 4.2 update and now EVERYTHING is gone off my ipod - music, apps EVERYTHING!!! What do I do??? How do I get it back??? This stinks. I'm completely lost and I'm really frustrated. Please help

Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

Hi all,
I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there. When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect. I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect. It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box. Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone. I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away? I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>

Grey Screen after update - need help

Hi
My friend just called me - her macbook is stuck on the grey screen with apple logo - after she done the security updates and restarted.
She can boot into Windows XP (bootcamp) without any issues.
I'm going over there tomorow to help her out and was wondering if someone could give me a little guidance as to what needs to be done.
I guess I can try booting off of the instalation disc and reparing permissions, but after that I'm pretty much lost. Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers

Hello,
I've had this problem twice, and each occurred after a security update.
What helped me was the following:
-Take out your powercord and your battery. Press the power button for about 5 seconds.
-Then, insert your battery and powercord, start the computer, and hold down AppleCTRL+PR.
From what I understand, one of these two steps resets the power management system on the macbook.
After you perform these two steps, your computer may still hang at the grey screen with the apple logo. However! Let it hang for about 5-10 minutes and it will automatically restart, and boot properly.
You can also try calling Apple support on your friend's behalf ... they were more than helpful.

Recent update - NEED HELP!!

I have recently updated my ipod and itunes and all of my music was lost on the ipod. I have tried to sync it multiple times and it adds the songs but only 1/4 of the music is actually able to play (the rest show up light gray). What do I need to do?
I added two new cds on my itunes yesterday and they show up on my ipod but they are light gray and will not play.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:

"Runtime Error!
Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!
