Lost movie in crash, but on iPod - How to get back to laptop?

I bought a movie on my laptop iTunes and synched it to my iPod and my husband's iPhone. A week or so later my laptop hard drive crashed. Yes, I had not run a back-up in between. My bad. We lost no other content - just this movie. It shows up in iTunes with an exclamation mark next to it, and when you click on it iTunes asks me to locate the file. I have tried the "Transfer Purchases" option in the File menu to try to force iTunes to synch the movie from my iPod back to the laptop, but to no avail. How can I move/copy the movie from my iPod or iPhone back to iTunes on my laptop?

Delete the entry in iTunes that is what is stopping the transfer from the iPod, as iTunes thinks it is already there.
1. Delete the entry in iTunes
2. Connect the iPod but do not let the iPod automatically sync.
3. Make sure that iTunes is logged into the same account that purchased the movie originally.
3. Use the 'Transfer Purchases' option, which should now work as iTunes will see that the movie is not in its database.

    If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
    If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. You can also tell your iPhone to "Play Sound", enter "Lost Mode", or "Erase".
    Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    When i update my IOS7 i lost my all pic from my IPAD2 can anyone suggest how to get back those pic? and i don,t think so i did kept back up before i update ios7. can anyone help me for this issue?

    The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes).  If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone.  Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
    All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally.

  • New computer but old ipod, how to get it to sync!!!!!

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for a direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead.
    You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Preview background is transparent on PDFs, how to get back to white?

    I don't know how I did this but somehow I must've messed around with a setting because now all of the PDF's I open in preview have a transparent background instead of the white default background. This makes it very difficult to view PDFs. I know how to make a background transparent to a png file in preview but no clue how to get back the white background as the application default background. Please help, I'm completely stumped! Please see example in dropbox link below.

    Thank you!

    You are a lifesaver! I knew I messed around and did something in the settings and this must've been it. Thank you so much! I can finally read my PDFs again

    If when you connect the iPod to your computer yu can't make a backup:
    - Contact a data recovery company
    - Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

  • Lost my iPod and don't know how to get back my photos

    I lost my iPod touch 5th generation and don't know how to get back my photos.  It is running iOS 8.1.
    Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get them back from where?
    They will only be where you put them.
    If you used photo stream, then look for them there.
    If you imported them to your computer, then they will be there.
    If you did not put them anywhere but your iPhone, then they are gone.
    Sorry

  • How to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

    how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

    If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
    You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    your going to have to put the ipod into recovery mode and restore the device. Unfortunatly you will lose all the info on the device after the restore but if you have a backup for the device in itunes you will be able to get all the info back if no backup is on itunes all info will be lost you can find the backups on in itunes under the   edit>
    preferences>devices and check for the backup
    to put the ipod into recovery mode disconnect the ipod from the computer
    power down the ipod
    press and hold the home button than plug the device in and the itunes should give a message that states
    itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode and must first be restored before it can be used
    than click the restore option in the summary page and issue resolved

  • I need an arrow or some sort of icon that points and moves to alert the website user to scroll down.  Are there such widgets or is there a method to make an image move on its own.  Also, how to get my muse webpage to automatically scroll down?

    Thank you for your help, but I believe my questions remains unanswered -- mainly, because my English isn't the good. 
    Here's what I am asking:
    1.  I need something that is animated that blinks or flashes to alert the viewer to scroll down the page.  I would put the wording:  Scroll Down for more (and then an arrow blinks or gently moves up and down to alert the user to move down).
    2.  is there a way that the entire homepage on it's own moves downward?
    Sorry for my poor English.

    created by The Arthematics in Help with using Adobe Muse CC - View the full discussionIf I understood correctly. You can place arrows on each section of the page and use "fade-in" and "fade-out". And maybe you want this widget Anchor + – Adobe Muse Widget Directory to automatically scroll down.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!
