You may not have a backup of those files, then.  Have you checked for backup according to this knowledge base article:

  • I deleted some files and realized I still needed some they are in the trashcan how can I get them out

    I deleted these files from the download and Ireally went to far.

    If they are still in the trash, in other words you did not empty (delete) the trash, just double click on the trashcan icon & a window will open showing everything in the trash.  Drag the items you want out of the trash.
    If you emptied the trash, do not use your computer as the "deleted" items will be overwritten.  It's possible you can recover by using any one of the following 3rd party data recovery utilities:
    "Data Rescue II" from prosofteng.com has a free download demo available.   You will need to follow/read the directions carefully.

  • Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s.  How can I get it back? Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes?  Thank you, Susan

    Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

  • HT201272 my songs wouldnt play on my ipod so i deleted the songs on the ipod and went to the purchased section in itunes to recover like i did with another song and my purchase history i blank, how can i get them back?

    my songs wouldnt play on my ipod so i deleted the songs on the ipod and went to the purchased section in itunes to recover like i did with another song and my purchase history i blank, how can i get them back?

    Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

    HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
    I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
    IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
    Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
    Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

  • I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them.  How can i get them back?

    Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
    Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
    You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
    If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.

  • I have a 3gs that just updated to 5.0 all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?

    i have a 3gs that i just updated to 5.0. all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?

    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

  • TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

    My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

  • All my calendar events were deleted when I clicked iCloud in settings. How do I get them back?

    All my calendar events were deleted when I clicked iCloud in settings. How do I get them back?

    I think I was syncing... I just flipped that switch to the right and it "turned on calendar" but when I went to my calendar everything was gone.
    When I go back now it doesn't do anything.

  • HT203167 I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my accou

    I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my account i'm no

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

    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:
