Check to see if anything is in the backup directory on your computer :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.

Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

To reinstall iCal:

2. The disk will appear on the desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) iCal.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to bring iCal up to the most recent version.

Hi, a few hours ago I purchased an "audio book" from i-tunes and i samw the files were downloading on my iPad, but I cannot find the audio book! What happened?

HI CEGS,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Audiobooks can be found in your Music app on the iPad.
I've referenced the section of the iPad User Guide (page 78):

See additional browse buttons: Tap More.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using?

Cannot find the system preference icon on my Power Book G4

This is from memory, since I do not have a pre-10.5 OS on any computer.
Check the Applications folder. System Preferences is there.
What version of Mc OS X are you running?

Rented movie fr iTunes but cannot find on my iPad Air. It isn't in the videos file and I do not have Restrictions on. Where can I find my movie?

Doublechecking ... is it in your Videos app on the iPad?

Synched iTunes on computer with iTunes on iPad. I cannot find my slideshow (slideshow.movie) anywhere on the iPad. (Not in Videos, either) Where is it???

Synched my iTunes on computer with iTunes on iPad. All synched, but cannot find my slideshow inn iTunes on iPad. (Format is slideshow.movie and is under Movies in iTunes). Not under Videos, either. Where is it?

Are you sure that the movie was transferred? You actually checked the movie to sync in the movies tab in iTunes?
Actually after re- reading your post - these are the supported video formats for the iPad. I am not a video converting expert, but I don't see that particular format listed here.
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

I have lost the document and cannot find it anywhere.

I have been working on a lengthy document all evening in Pages.
I went to highlight it all (cmd A) to regularise the font etc, and I think I hit Alt just afterwards and the document has disappeared. I cannot find it anywhere, not in trash, documents or finder.
Please, has anyone any ideas where it may be and how I can find it?

Menu is the bar of pull down menus at the top of your screen.
"Window" is the 3rd from the right.
Open documents are listed at the bottom of the Window menu.
Select any you want to come to the fore.
It has occurred to me that you may have hit a key combination with all the text selected, so the text got replaced with nothing and that is what you are talking about.
Menu > Edit > Undo as many times as makes your material come back.

Cannot find my calendar events older than one year. Where are they ad how do I get them back?

I cannot find my old events on iCal. It seems it only goes back one year. How can I find them and recover my information and events going back further than that?

Greetings,
Sorry to hear about the missing data.
If you don't see your events there are 2 possibilities:
1.) There is something wrong with the calendar cache
2.) The events have been deleted
First go to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events.. -- see if this has been checked as this deletes events after a point in time you specify. Even if this is not checked now, if it was ever checked in the past, that will delete events.
To reset iCal's cache and settings in the hope this will bring the events back:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
If the events do not come back then the information you are looking for is truly not in iCal. You will need to restore from a backup (like TimeMachine) from a point in time before the events in question went missing.
If you do not maintain backups of your computer, start now.
Depending on how long ago these events were deleted from iCal you can try using data recovery to bring the files back although as these are past events, you may find that just moving forward from here is simplier than going through the effort but that is of course up to you to decide.
Here are a few examples of data recovery programs:

You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:

Best of luck to you.

Brand new iPad. I cannot find my files. I know that they were loaded but when I open "audiobooks" it takes me to the iTunes store. How do I find my own audiobooks?

Where do my files go after I have synced them to my iPad. I watched them transfer from my computer to my iPad but where are they now? For instance, I am trying to find my audiobooks but when I click audiobooks, it takes me to the iTunes store for audiobooks but I cannot find my books there either.

They should have downloaded into the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?
