Moved itunes to another disk now everything is gone

ok so my (C) disk was low on space, so I went to iTunes, and moved itunes to another drive. after I went throught that whole process, I copyed the iTunes folder from the (c) drive to the (d) drive (the new drive) and then after it had finished pasting, I deleted the iTunes folder from the original drive. I then opened itunes and it now is empty what do I do in order to get everything back? thankyou in advance.

I'm confused.
You moved iTunes to another drive and then then you copied the iTunes folder to the D: drive?
How did you first move iTunes to another drive?
Then why did you copy the iTunes folder after that? Isn't this moving iTunes to another drive"
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the other drive.

Downloaded Itunes 8.0 and now everything is gone

I downloaded the new 8.0 and when I went to listen to a song everything was gone. All of my songs, tv shows, games, etc... were gone. How do I get it back?

See if the steps in this article provide any relief:

If you're still missing your songs, see if you can restore from a backup if you have one. If you don't have a backup, you might be able to recover the items from an iPod or iPhone if you have one.
- See this document for recovering purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
- See this post for software to recover non-iTunes store purchases: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8209921&#8209921
If you never created a backup of your items, and you don't have them on an iPod or iPhone, you can email iTunes Store customer service and ask to download the items again. Bear in mind that the iTunes user agreement entitles you to one download per purchase, so, for future reference, it's your responsibility to backup your purchases, as they do have value.

[REINSTALL] moved /var to another partition - now everything is borked

Ah, I reckon I might have shot my install
I was running out of space and seeing that /var took up some 3GB I decided to move it to another partition and adjust the fstab accordingly. It all worked but on reboot hal didn't start. I tried to reinstall it with pacman and now I am told:
error: database path is undefined
error: could not register 'core' database (could not open database)
Am I shot???

All that's in /var/cache/pacman/pkg are packages. You can keep packages if you're afraid something will break and only rolling back to older packages will fix it (which for some people it does), but there are some mirrors out there that update slower than others (so the thing is to pick a mirror that syncs often, so if you really need to downgrade, you can grab the older packages from a slower mirror for example).
I clean out my package cache periodically. If something breaks and I need to roll back (which happened to me with the bluetooth upgrade) I usually check the web CVS frontend for the PKGBUILDs and rebuild what I need.
In general, there's no reason to hold on to your cache - and certainly not that big a cache. If you keep it under a GB you should be safe, generally that covers most if not all packages you installed, one version back. You'll have to sift, though.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image. When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable. It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

HELP! Clicked format...now everything is gone!!!

I connected my blackberry curve 9360 device to the computer to get the new 7.1 software for blackberry. First I got app error 200 on my phone screen, then when that got fixed, my phone was completely wiped. It then said my media card has errors on it and repairing has failed, so I went to settings and accidentally clicked format media card. Now everything is GONE, but the phone and apps like whatsapp are still working...
Does anyone know how I can get all of my data back that was on my media card before I formatted it?

Hey Eclipse96,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you have a full backup of your data including the media card saved on the computer? If not, then the data can not be retreived.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

I moved itunes Media around and now the problems

I moved iTunes Media to a D:/ drive, removed it back to C:/. There was a problem with the move back.
Result: iTunes now thinks that my ipad is synched with another library...
I can't see my apps or my stuff anymore.
Since there was a problem with the move back from D to C, I have files in both locations, don't know which one are important.
What can I do to fix this?

I used the trick shift when opening itunes to select a previous itunes library and things are a bit more normal.
But are they?

Moved iTunes to different drive - now my library is empty???

I should've left well-enough alone, but someone suggested I move my files to my second hard drive. I moved iTunes from C drive to F drive and changed the settings in my iTunes preferences; however, now my iTunes is empty. I moved them back to C drive, but still nothing. I can find the files when I look under C drive in my computer, but I can't get them to show up in my library.
Any suggestions??

Set the location to what you need and then try the steps here:

Install itunes on another disk

Hi,
I will install itunes on another hardrive. I don´t want it on C. How do i do that? I have reinstald windows on my pc. My hard disk space on C is only 80g so i want it on my other hardrive.

I have a similar problem. I have upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.
I have (apparently) got my music back from my removeable HDD, but when I try to play it (even from my iTunes Store purchased site) approximately half the songs I am told the "original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Of course I reply in the affirmative, follow the trail but at the end nothing happens.
Can anyone help ... please?

Trying to move itunes to another pc. now cant sync, files not found even though theyre showing in itunes

Ive tried to move my itunes to another pc. I copied all onto and external harddrive and transfered to the other laptop. It all shows up in the itunes libruary and i can play them but when i try and sync to my iphone it comes with an exclamation mark and says the original file cannot be found and nothing goes on my phone. Totally stuck and confused!!

Then something did not transfer correctly.
What exactly did you copy? Was it the ENTIRE iTunes folder? If not... start over and copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder.

Kernel Panic while backing up with Time Machine - now everything is GONE!

I got a kernel panic while i tried to back up with Time Machine....when i shut down the computer, and restarted it (with the external still plugged in, and on), it came up with an error message that said
"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer."
And my three options were to "Initialize...", "Ignore", or "Eject"...
I didn't hit either of those buttons, i was trying to contact apple for support only to find out that i am just a week past my minimum 90 day telephone support, so i am trying to scrape up enough to order the APP immediately.
However, in the meantime, everything on my external harddrive is gone...Disk Utility doesn't even see that there was once a Partition on that drive, and thus, it is not showing up on my desktop, and there is no information to be recovered...everything is gone.
This is kind of ironic because i was just reading an article about how people are losing their info on their User account after having the Guest Accounts enabled....logged into guest, and back out of guest...
I am a part of one of those statistics because i do NOT have the Guest account enabled at all...
Can anybody else help me with this?

where can i find the panic.log?
I did a spotlight search with no results.
I checked /Library/Logs, and didn't see a panic.log
I also checked ~/Library/Logs and didn't find a panic.log either....i was unable to find anything related to a kernel panic log, or anything.
Could you point me in the right direction for this please? Could it be that i had a kernal panic, and it did not record the log?
So what can i do to correct this?
Disk Warrior didn't detect the drive, and zapping the PRAM didn't correct it either.
I keep getting the error message i posted previously.
I even tried to plug the drive into my old 15" PowerBook G4 running 10.4 tiger to see if i could see the drive appear on the desktop, and i also got the same error there as well.
If i go into Disk Utility, into Partition, i have to create a Partition. There is absolutely nothing on the drive at all. Everything is gone because of a kernal panic - which happened when i was trying to use Time Machine to back up the drive.
I'm 1/2 afraid to do anything at the moment because i want to figure out what happened to the data i lost on my Time Machine backup drive, and how to get it back...at the same time, i'm afraid of losing all my information on my computer as well since people are having issues with the so called Guest Account issue that wipes everybody's user account's information.
Is there another scenario for this, could it be not just Guest Accounts deleting a users home folder, but also kernal panics related to Time Machine, which end up erasing your entire Time Machine backup drive too?
Apple really needs a fix for this and should somehow reward us with something for the unprofessionalism in their own technology.

Upgraded Iphone now everything is gone

I upgraded from an Iphone 4 to a Iphone 5c. When i got it in the mail i plugged it in and followed all the instructions now all my contacts, settings, everything is gone. The apps are still there but i have to reinstall all of them.

I am guessing "it" means the iPhone 4. No, it does not automatically update iOS. You would have to click "Check for Updates" on the iPhone's summary page to have done that.
Since you did what xice recommended above and did not find a backup of the iPhone 4 in iTunes, the only other slight possibility is that you had set up iCloud backups and did one there. You can check that on your iPhone 4 in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup ... if you ever did set up an iCloud account. I suspect it's more likely that you would win a lottery than have an iCloud backup, but that is your last hope of retrieving iPhone 4 data.

I synced my phone now everything is gone

help! i synced my iphone now everything EVERYTHING is gone! is there a way to retrieve all my contacts photos and apps?

All of those things should be on your computer. You can just sync them back.
Contacts and Camera Roll photos (taken with iphone) are included in the backup that itunes performs when syncing.
You may be able to restore from a prior backup and get some of the info back.
Unlike music, you can redownload apps for free.

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing. How do I get it back?

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone. How do I get the icons back and start over?

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.
