My computer got a virus and videos were deleted

My computer got a virus awhile ago and all of my C drive was deleted which was where iTunes was stored. All of my music and all of my videos were deleted and I have no way of getting them back because system restore won't restore my computer at all or atleast up to the point where I got the virus.. So I was wondering if I could possibly get the videos back onto my computer somehow. I'd be really grateful if you could help me out.

The same thing happened to me yesterday. I was updating my iPod and when it was finished, there were exclamation points next to all my songs. Then I noticed that fifteen songs are now missing from my iPod. I have no idea what happened and what to do to fix it. I back up my files and now many of my songs are not in the folders! What can I do?!?!?!

You can use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can transfer them from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Or you can redownload them:

After installing iOs5 onto my iPhone, all my photos and videos were deleted? How do I get them back?

I got the iOs5 update for my iPhone and I just checked my videos and photos in the camera roll and there is none there. It's all gone. Why? iTunes didn't ask me if I wanted to save my photos or what not, it just asked me if it wanted to back up my apps and stuff, which I said yes. Is there a way I can get my pictures and videos back?

Some conspiracy is going on . I upgraded my iphone and before upgrade, obviously iTunes backed up my iphone. After upgrade, lost all my contacts and I feel the icloud *****. Trying to contact apple asks me to pay for support. Isn't this annoying, on one side they keep reminding you to upgrade to new ios and then when you upgrade, you loose everything. Not happy right now

My computer had a virus and needed to be wiped clean. all my itunes docs are stored on an external hard-drive so i downloaded a new itunes but it over-wrote my old one - how can i restore this without wiping my iphone? please help :(

Hi there,
My windows xp computer got a virus and needed to be wiped.
As i store all of my itunes and iphone stuff on an external hardrive i thought this would not cause a problem.
Got a bit confused when i tried to open itunes again from the back-up hardrive as it would not open.
Wrongly assumed that the best option would be to re-download itunes and move my old itunes info across - silly silly thing to do :/
The new download just over-wrote the old one and after trying a few of the suggestions on here to get my old library back - i still cant work out if its possible as it has been over-written.
I don't want to plug my iphone4 into my computer as i have heard that this can wipe your phone completely, so before i do anything, does anyone know what is the best thing to do from here? or how i could posibly recover my old library, playlists, apps, podcasts e.t.c
please please help

go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

I bought adobe suite 4 student edition a few years ago and I am no longer a student and my laptop in which I have adobe suite has recently got a virus and I must uninstall the adobe suite in or to wipe the computer. If I uninstall the student edition and reinstall once the virus is removed from the computer will I have to go through the student product verification process or can I simply use the product key to reinstall the adobe suite?

I recently updated my iPhone to 5.0.1. My update went great, but when updating my wifes, all her photos and videos were lost. Is there a way to retrieve them?

I recently updated my iPhone. My update went great, but after updating my wifes, all her pictures and videos were missing. Is there a way to retrieve them?

Was a backup done prior to the update? If so, restore the backup.
As designed, the Camera Roll on the iPhone is temporary storage. Copy the pictures/videos off to the computer the device normally syncs with then sync the desired pics/vids back to the device via iTunes.
