My iTunes crached! I lost my playlists and 60 GBs of music. Can I get back may playlists and music? How?

My battery went down. I opened my iTunes and there I found that all my palylists gone and most of my music gone. HELP!

I suppose you did not have a backup of your hard drive?
You need to be very exact in posting because we only have what you say with which to work. You see some of your music listed in your library but all your playlists are gone and a lof of music also isn't listed in the iTune window? I have never heard of that and to me it would say major file corruption on your computer, but then it surprises me the library file would even open. If that's the case you may need to rebuild your library from scratch with whatever files are in your media folder. This is going to take some doing so I won't start until I know that's what you need to do. Of course if you do have a backup then you can restore everything quickly.

If I lost my Iphone 5 with I cloud can I get back my photo when I buy another new iPhone 5?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Only if you made a backup of the old iPhone which includes the photos you had stored in Camera Roll (if the photo you want to restore is there) or if the photo was stored in Photo Stream. In both of the cases, you will be able to get back the photo, but note that Photo Stream deletes photos 30 days after adding them

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

What exactly did you do to delete these?
How did you try to "restore" and what did you try to restore?
Probably the only solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before you did this

How can i get back the pictures and videos i deleted?

I deleted some of my pictures and videos two months ago. now I really really need them , is there any way that I can gt them back.

Two months ago? Highly unlikely, but you can try these;
Data Rescue 3;
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
Stellar Phœnix;
http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
Both programmes will give you a free download to scan your HD and see if the files are recoverable, but you'll have to pay for the full application to actually recover them.
In this case I doubt there'll be much left to recover as the files will probably have been overwritten by now. If you're really desperate you could try a Forensic recovery service, but you'd be talking 4-figure cost with no guarantee of useable results.

You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
(1) Page Info > Permissions tab
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
(2) about:permissions
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
Any luck?

Ffox crashed & I accidntlly hit open new sesson instead of restore tabs. Can I get back my tabs and tab groups?

ffox crashed, when the window came up to choose tabs to close, and then restore the remaining tabs, i accidently hit start new session so I lost all tabs and tab groups when the new firefox window opened. In disbelief that this had actually happened, I then closed this new firefox window, and then started firefox again in hopes that it was some sort of fluke, but again it was a new session without any of my old tabs or groups.

Uh oh, you closed and re-opened Firefox. When you start up, Firefox saves your previous session tabs from sessionstore.js to sessionstore.bak, but it's only there until you start up Firefox again, when the backup is replaced. So I don't hold out much hope...
But you could take a look here:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
This will open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Profile folder). If you look for sessionstore files, you should see at least sessionstore.js (current session) and sessionstore.bak (previous session). You may also see other files with numbers appended to the name.
Copy all of today's files to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). The strategy is to work through them to see whether they contain anything useful.
Keeping your profile folder open, switch over and exit Firefox. Then delete sessionstore.js and rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. After restarting Firefox, can you restore the earlier session (using either History > Restore Previous Session, or the button on the built-in Firefox home page)?
If that isn't the correct one, did you find any other sessionstore files that might be a bit older? If so, repeat the process. If not, unfortunately, it's gone, and you'll have to use your memory or Firefox History (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+h) to reconstruct the missing session.
There is an extension named Session Manager that lets you save more than just the one previous session. If you can't live without your list of tabs, you might want to look into it: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-manager/].

In my iBooks store I have the crime and thriller category, but can't get back to the main page with all the categories. Help!

iBooks

Is the store frozen i.e. can you navigate within that category ? You could try closing the iBooks app completely and then re-open it and see if it then works : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

I manually moved my itunes folder-can't get back my library

I manually copied my whole itunes folder from *media drive b* to *drive a (the mac osx system drive)* since I needed to free up space on my media drive. The original itunes library file and the itunes music library.xml file created 6/2005 are still intact on the media drive with all the music. How do I force itunes to see this again. It is seeing an old itunes library I made instead of my current library.
Help !
Thanks

Here's the fix... I did overwrite the Itunes library file data that had all my playlists and other data. But to get back my songs and movies, all I had to do was drag the iTunes music folder onto iTunes and in 10 minutes walla, there was all my tunes and vids... Whew !!.. Play counts, date added etc, all wiped and starting form scratch. That's ok. *Lesson learned; use itune's functions to move your library from drive to drive !*

You're welcome.
Going back to your original post:
5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.
