Lost Songs! Please help!

My daughter has lost all of her songs after connecting to her laptop and updating her iPod to the newest version of software. She has only ever downloaded songs directly from her iPod so they are not on any computer. Is there any way to recover them?

When you updated the software, the iPod should have been backed up automatically before the update was installed. Try Control-Clicking (not sure what it is on PC--maybe ALT) on the iPod icon in the left frame of iTunes and select restore from backup.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

I have an iMac with 269 songs i would like to transfer music from my macbook with 10917 song s to the imac to free up space on the macbook without loosing my 269 song please help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If both Macs are on the same network, enable homesharing, you can then import music from one to the other without affecting what's already on there.

My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

So a Spotlight search on your phone to search for Safari and click the App. Once you verify that it is still on there you'll just have to look for it.
If the App isn't listed, try a restart/reboot of the iPhone holding the home button and sleep/wake switch. If the App still doesn't show itself in the OS or via Spotlight, restore the phone via iTunes.

Updated iWeb 2.0.2: LOST Website - Please HELP

Hi Folks,
I just ran software update today and installed all the updates. Upon opening iWeb and accepting the new license agreement, I was greeted not by the website I have spent months building; but the Template select screen. My business website is no where to be found. This is very frustrating. I noticed one other person had the same problem. Hope this can be remedied. Definitely going to set me back a few weeks. This is the first time in 6 years I have had a problem with anything Apple...Please Help!
Best Regard,
brfloyd

This is quite strange. I keep my websites in separate folders and launch iWeb from there. When I tried V2.0.2 I used one of these sites to launch it. I keep a file in the iWeb folder which is a sort of a dummy. This file was not effected nor erased by the update.
So many people have problems with these domain files. I wish iWeb had a popup telling people to back them up. I keep copies of them in my Home Folder and also on two external drives.
I use the application Super Duper to make incremental backups every week.
I once lost two months work when my hard drive failed. The bigger the disaster - the greater the lesson learned!

Hi, my friend have been sending me songs via Whatassps and i have downloaded in my iPhone 6 but i couldn't find all those download songs. Please help. Thanks.

music can only be installed and listened to either via iTunes on your computer or by downloading from the iTunes Store, so stop wasting your time with other methods.

All my data is lost. Please help me!!!!!!

I use TC as a regular ext. HD. So, accidentally I deleted all my files. And now I'm trying to recover them using Data Rescue, but it doesn't work. What can I do? Please help me.

Verzig,
According to your other thread, I thought you were trying to delete data off the TC. What changed?
Anyways, data recovery software like Data Rescue II and FileSalvage won't work unless you crack open the TC, remove the drive, and install it into a different HD housing. Then you will be able to recover data with recovery software.
Sorry to hear about your loss.

EVERYTHING IS LOST! PLEASE HELP!

Ok, so I go to open my iMovie project and am greeted, horrifically, by this:
"A Project File is Missing
The file “_” couldn’t be opened and is being skipped. Click “Ignore All” to skip any remaining missing file messages."
All the editing progress in the project is gone, and all my clips (not in their edited form) have been moved to the trash. Now what I've noticed is that if I go into show package contents, and then go into cache, all my progress still exists as Timeline Movie.mov but it's all as one video file and I'm afraid to mess with it because it's absurdly small (a few hundred kilobytes). I think what caused this is that the external hard drive my project is saved on was removed, plugged back in, and then saved to. PLEASE HELP ME GET IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS, I'M BEGGING YOU, I've looked everywhere else and have found nothing of help.

First of all, I would restart your computer and see if the problem replicates.
If that fails, open up your Package Contents folder and you should see in there a file called (movie title).iMovieproj. Open that, and if your movie is intact save it under a different name and you are good to go. There is also another file titled (Movie title)~.iMovieproj. If the previous file that you opened does not contain an intact movie, try this one.
