Main Computer died. Lost Apps can I get them back?
My main Computer Died with all of my music and apps on it. So I downloaded it iTunes into another computer, connected my phone and for some reason I did an unintentional restore and I lost everything. I was wondering if there was a way to get itunes to re-install all of my apps at once or I would have to install them one by one.
Thank you for your help,

This is why backing up your library to a CD or DVD or external drive of some sort is important.
If your library and apps aren't located on any device or library, you will have to re-download it all. You can check your purchase history for apps you have downloaded (which you can always re-download free of charge), but there is no way to download them all at once.

i was on windows 7 and i had to format my computer i put windows vista on and when i downloaded itunes and sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps that was on my phone,my itunes account says i have got to accounts on two computers?? is there anyway i can get anything back? please help me. i have tried restore to back up but it is the same????
If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child. -

Restore them from your backup, transfer them from an iPod or similar device, or click here and ask.

Purchased songs lost. Can I get them back?
Hi all,
My hard disk crashed. My entire music library is gone. I didn't back up (bad move). Now I wonder if I can pick up some pieces.
I purchased some songs at the iTunes Store. Can I get those songs back? And how?
Thanks in advance to all generous souls.

iPod nano Windows XP ProAnother possible option is to run disk data recovery utilities on the old hard drive to try to recover the music song files, as they are just data files to the computer.
You could install the drive internally to the PC on another drive cable, or externally via a USB or Firewire powered case, then run the disk recovery utilities. There are several free tools - one simple free tool is Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - at www.recuva.com. And several commercial products you could buy. O&O software is one such vendor for windows, at www.oo-software.com. Or Prosoft Engineering, at www.prosofteng.com has both windows and mac data recovery tools.
And other similar software also out there.
Most offer a trial scan mode to let you see if the data you want can be recovered - then you would buy the product to get the recovery mode enabled.
Note the tools usually take hours to scan and recover.
I would say that it would be worth investing at least a bit of time (and $) to investigate data recovery from the old drive. As long as it spins up, one of those recovery tools may be able to get your song, and other data back.
Or, there are services that can recover data from crashed hard drives, but the service is very expensive (hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on who, and how much data). -

Lost messages - can I get them back?
I had an inbox with 300 or so messages from the last 6 months, plus attachments. Then, shortly after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail stopped sending stuff (seemed not to like talking to the smtp server), so I fiddled around and created a second account to see if that would work. In the event I disabled SSL on the first account and that solved the problem.
Then I removed the second account. I thought the warning about losing mailboxes would not apply because nothing had come in through this account for the short time it was enabled. How wrong I was: all the mail content (but not the headers) in my Inbox and Sent box disappeared.
I followed the Apple advice, which is to use mailbox>rebuild. I did this in both Inbox and Sent box - and hey presto, all the headers vanished too. So I had nothing but the last two days of email left. Fortunately, all my other mailboxes are OK.
I need to know:
Do the disappeared messages from my Inbox, and their attachments, all exist somewhere on my Mac even though I can't see them (I have searched the Library)?
Is there any utility out there that might help me to find them?
And what happens to attachments in Mail nowadays, when there seems to be no separate Attachments folder?all the mail content (but not the headers) in my Inbox and Sent box disappeared.
Setting up the same account twice in Mail is probably what got you into trouble. I suspect Mail simply removed all mailboxes associated with that account without checking to see whether they belonged to the original or the dupe.
Do the disappeared messages from my Inbox, and their attachments, all exist somewhere on my Mac even though I can't see them (I have searched the Library)?
Very unlikely. Try looking in the ~/Library/Mail/ folder (where '~' means "your user folder). See if there are any mailboxes still there that might be appropriate, and try duplicating them to the desktop and then import them into a new mailbox. That's unlikely to work, but you never know.
Is there any utility out there that might help me to find them?
If they're really gone, no. If you have backups, you can restore them from the backup, of course. But without backups, the best you'll be able to do is try a data recovery tool, which is unlikely to give very good results in this case, but would be worth a try if there's no other option.
And what happens to attachments in Mail nowadays, when there seems to be no separate Attachments folder?
Attachments are stored with the message, just like they are sent across the internet as part of the message. They are not automatically decoded and saved as individual files somewhere. That happens when you either open them or tell Mail to save them somewhere. -
I don't remember the sites but I know that they contain important information that I planned on getting to later (This is why I put them there). The app tabs have been reliable in the past, always there after closing out Firefox.
That was one of the first things I tried, but because I closed Firefox the links were inactive. It has done this a few times since I posted this earlier today so I am wondering if there is an option somewhere for saving these. Also, I never had this problem before so it might have something to do with a recent update (maybe a new option?).

In trying to help with another problem, a tech using off-site uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled. Now I find history, bookmarks, passwords all lost. Gmail doesn't know I have an account. What can I do?

The contacts are NOT backed up in itunes
Nobody has access to the website but you, and iTunes does not and never did backup iCloud.
Start again and tell me what has happened, no conclusions please.
And do you have a backup? -
ok...so I had to restore my computer back to its original factory state:( now I have lost all my music on itunes. Can I get them back?? if so, how??
You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button. -
My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge. -
I have a macbook pro and I connected a new iphone to my computer. Somehow all my pictures in the iphoto app deleted. How can I get them back, and no I do not have my TimeMachine On. Please help!
If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Hello. I just got the iPhone 5s today and I did a restore from icloud to it but none of my apps transferred. I checked on my computer and only Facebook and candy crush show up. How can I get them back?
Try restoring the backup again. Your apps and other purchased media should have been restored from your backup if they were on your old phone when you backed it up.
