Missing All Saved Information After Shutdown

I've had my macbook pro for about a week.
I shut it down this morning and when I turned it back on all my saved information was missing. Including my aperature pictures, itunes, bookmarks, desktop wallpaper, and all program settings. Its like I was on a different user, but I've signed off and on a couple times now on the same account (only one on my computer) and still nothing.
I have turned it off before and nothing like this has happened.
Anyone having this problem or know how to cure it?
Thanks.

If you do not have FileVault enabled, open the Users folder on your hard disk and look in the folders inside that folder for your data. If you find it, rename folders inside of Users so that the folder with your files has the name which the folder with the house icon previously had.
If you have FileVault enabled, try the instructions in this article.

  • Missing information after restored from back up

    I had an iPhone 4 traded it in, prior to trading it in I synced it via the cloud but not to my computer.  When I got my phone from Sprint they started the restore process for me and said that it could take a little while but if I was missing any information after about a day or so to come back and they could help.  Well after waiting a couple days and calling numerous times to sprint I gave up and went back into the store.  Unfortunaly, some how my old phone was wiped before I came back.  I then called 1-800-MYAPPLE for help, COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL!  To shorten this story up, my new phone shows that I have 2.5 GB of data stored in the cloud and my new phone only has 35MB, I have all my contacts, all of my calendar info, half my notes, half my pics, none of my videos, and none of my reminders.  The new phone has iOS 6.1.2 and I believe the old phone had iOS 6.1.1.  How do I get the remaing info from my old phone?!  I don't care if I have to download it to a computer or my phone it doesn't have to be on my new phone.  Someone please help! 

    Thanks for the help!  I didn't realize that photo stream doesn't back up videos and it deletes pics after 30 days.  I did what you said and I did get my settings back and some apps I had lost and my music.  So that's better than nothing!  Thanks for the help!!

  • I lost all of my information after trying to upgrade to iOS 5

    Hello.
    i have ipod touch 4th gen, 32 GB.
    just tried upgrading to iOS 5.
    first had issues with downloading. finally managed to download.
    now i does not let me restore my information after installing iOS 5.
    first it tells me "10 minutes remaining". then the time goes up and up. after it reaches 10 hours, error messege pops "iTunes could not restore because backup could not be saved on this computer":
    http://i.imgur.com/FLLd0.png
    same thing happens when i restore to default, and then try to restore again from my backup.
    i am frastrated. i have a serious headache. 5 hours of trying to upgrade. i really want to CRY (really).
    i REALLY need ALL of my information. including contacts, calendar and internal information of application i bought (like 2Do, awesome note etc.). i can not afford myself losing all of this information. i have no other backup. this information worth more then 5k $ to me.
    what can i do? i need HELP.
    only thing it let me restore is my music.

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. If you get a successfull backup you can delete the moved backup.  The backup is located:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • How to retrieve all the information about a workbook saved on the DB

    Hi everybody,
    I created some reports, but after have modified and have renamed custom folders and joins on the Administrator, now I'm not able to re-open any report (they are completely finished !!!)
    I have the following error: Cannot join tables used in the workbook.
    I know that the problem are the joins on the Administrator....that I modified after the reports creation....and now I don't remember how they were originally when I created the reports....
    So, I'd like to retrieve from the workbooks saved on DB which tables (or custom folders) they use and how they originally connected (joins' names, etc..), in order to rebuild on the Administrator the old structure and reopen my workbook.
    Is there a place where all the information about the workbooks saved on the DB are stored ?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Alex

    Hi,
    All the workbooks are stored in the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table. They are stored in a LONG RAW column and in a binary format so this is not much help to you.
    You could try using the workbook dump utility which is provided with Disco Admin and Desktop. You run it from the command line:
    d51wkdmp Workbook1 Workbook1.txt DB user1:"System Administrator"/pass1@dbname EUL5_US -f

    I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
    Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
    Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in.

  • I have a 3GS. The iPod on the phone has made duplicates of some songs. I've tried using the "get info" dialog box to set all the information the same but the dups are still there. Even after erasing all music with iTunes they are still there.

  • My hard drive was replaced last week.  The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive.  they reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes.  When I opened I tunes, my playlists were missing

    My hard drive was replaced last week on my macbook pro.  The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive.  They reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes.  When I opened I tunes, i had some but not all my songs listed.  All my playlists and purchases were missing.  I attempted to sync my iPod so my playlist and information would be reinstalled but iTunes does not recognize the iPod to allow it to sync.

    Hello Boylen33,
    I was very disappointed to read about your experience when taking your phone in to the Geek Squad for service. I agree with avm5689, purchasing the Geek Squad Protection plan is a great way to protect your investment in a product that is so necessary to our everyday lives. The agent should have known exactly what steps to make the exchange an easy, and smooth process, and I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you received instead. 
    I assure you every single post on the forum from our customers is of utmost importance to us, and we are always happy to help in anyway we can. As per the terms and conditions of your Geek Squad Protection plan, you should receive one battery per the life of the plan, and you can order it simply by calling our Partstore. As I mentioned previously, this is something the Geek Squad agent should have explained to you, or as the mobile specialist did, call them for you, and I'm truly sorry this wasn't handled in that manner causing you to waste a lot of time at the store.  Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the service order, and I will be documenting your experience for further training opportunities.
    Once again, I am very sorry for any disappointment this has caused, and I appreciate very much you bringing this to our attention. I hope you will give us another in chance to offer you a much better experience.

  • I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

    I have downloaded an update for my ipod 4th, and after that all my songs, pictures and apps have been erased, Is there some way to recover all my information without have done a security copy?

    I supsect you did the update on other than your syncing computer. If yu did the app, music and synced photo will not be on the iPod after the update since those items are not in the backup that iTunes makes. See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    The above applies to all updates performedvia USB on a computer. To get stuff back, restore from backup on the syncing computer.
    The above in my educated guess since you provided litle information about how you did the update.
    You can redownload many iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Can I set my screen view to zoom out (ie to 90%) permanently, so that after shutdown it remembers the settings for all pages whenever opened (until I change it again) ?

    On internet explorer I can set the 'zoom' to 90% and all subsequent internet pages, tabs, windows display at this setting even after shutdown/reboot etc. It is a permanaent setting until I change it. I need this for my eyesight (long-sighted). Can I set this with Firefox?

    If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

    There is nothing to help with.  There is no way to view the pictures in PhotoStream from the iCloud website.

    Hi Sam,
    I understand where you are about being your own IT department, it can be overwhelming ...
    What drives to buy depends an awful lot on how you will use them, what your budget is, and your preferences.
    In the case of your DP Powermac, for online storage used primarily for editing, I would add one or more internal drives first. Look for drives that are at least 7200rpm and have at least an 8MB cache. 10,000rpm/16MB cache is even better, but more expensive. Seagate Barracudas have always been good choices.
    For backup purposes, I'd pick some good external FireWire drives; you can also use these for online editing, lots of people do. Your Mac has both FW400 and FW800 ports - either kind is fine but if you get drives that support both, you would want to connect them to the FW800 port for the added performance.
    In my experience, the Lacie d2 Extreme drives have been very very good. In fact I have 3 of them daisy-chained off my iMac G5 right now and they work flawlessly with FCE. Weibetech and Granite Digital drives are further upscale in performance and price. RAID configurations would be even further upscale. Do stay away from consumer level hard drives, however ... the Western Digital MyBook series & no-name drives come to mind ...
    Don't use a FireWire hub for your external drives, it's just asking for trouble.
    ps. And thanks for your nice comment about me. I'm happy to help, as are other folk in the forum.

  • Hey! I would like to get an iPhone 5s, but I want to have all my saved information (Apps, Reminders, Games, etc.) I know I can use iCloud backup, but does that save absolutely everything or do I need to for example write my reminders down?

  • When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.
