We regularly use Cocktail by Maintain software. You run the whole gamut of options but the important one is in System - Databases - Rebuild launch services. Also in Files - Caches - then clear the lot.
This is just houskeeping really but there are so many 'links' in A/cad it needs 'cleaning'

I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro. None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were reloaded back onto my phone. I received an error message instead. I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone. As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day. I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ? This is very frustrating!

ITunes deleted my play counts after update. How do I get them back?, iTunes deleted my play counts after update. How do I get them back?

Hi yesterday I updated iTunes to the most recent version. After I had restarted my computer all my play counts had gone. Can I get them back?

I downloaded an app updated and my iphone crashed now i cant get it to start can someone help me?

today i installed and upgrade to facebook app, later after that my phone started to act weird and then crashed, tried to restart it several times but it just froze over the apple logo, is there a way to solve this? i cant get itunes to recognize it

Before you restore, try this!!!
I just managed to fix mine without restoring. I thought I was going to have to, after several attempts to sync to itunes told me that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. But I didnt want to lose my recent data. As a last resort, I plugged it in and opened iPhone Explorer to see if it would recognize it and maybe let me back up my files manually. It ended up fixing it just by being open! Everything is working fine now, the Facebook app is gone (won't touch it until a new update comes out and others have tested it first) and I'm backing everything up. So download iPhone Explorer and try this before restoring Hope this helps.

Deleted my music files to make room on hard drive. How do I get them back with iTunes Match now?

I ran out of room and since I paid for iTunes Match I thought I could delete my files but still have the music. Now the luttle clouds are gone from my library and when I try to play a song it tells me it can't find the file. How do I get the clouds back and the option to re-download just what I want?

I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
Bingo!

HT5085 I have purchases (music )that is on ipad and plays but is not in ibary on pc as I changed hard drives - how can i get them back to libary to play on pc and sync ipad without losing them ?

I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

My iphone contacts wont sync to outlook. i used the cloud once, now i cant get them to show up on outlook.

please help.

Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

Lost new songs I just bought in a cp crash how do I get them back??

I had just bought some new songs for my ipod when my computer crashed. I didn't sync them up or anything. Does anyone know how I can get those songs back???

You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

I hope all goes well.

I copied my Movies folder using Finder to an external HD before my MBP crashed and now can't get them back into iMovie library!!

I realize NOW that I should have moved the events and projects to external HD within iMovie but unfortunately I didn't. I also upgraded to Mavericks with the new internal HD. Problems...
1) If I try and open a movie in iMovie from the Movies folder, none of the movies are highlighted so I cannot open them.
2) When I open a movie using Finder in the Movies folder, it goes through this conversion process with QuickTime player which takes several minutes (we have over 700 videos).
Anybody have any suggestions to fix this problem? I still have the Movies folder in both the external HD and on my internal HD.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Playlists are here but no ratings, play counts.... How can I get them back?

Due to my computer crashing, I now have all my music on an external hard drive.
I have so far managed to get hold of all my music and my playlists.
The issue I have now is that I do not have my ratings and play counts.
In my xml file, I can see Itunes thinks the location of the files is in localhost/C:/ whereas the music is now in my /E:/ drive.
I have tried doing a replace all however it keeps crashing, I have over 40gb of music and changing each song location manually is very time consuming.
I cannot change the letter of the drive as my principal system is already called /C:/ and won't let me change it.
Is there anyway I can get the ratings and play counts back?
Thanks

My computer crashed and I lost all my tunes. I have them on my ipod but need to know how to get them back onto itunes

my computer crashed and I lost all but 2 albums in itunes. Is there a way to get into my old libruary? I have my tunes on my ipod.

Any music purchased through the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free as long as you are signed in with the Apple ID you used for the original purchase. Any other music you had in iTunes should be easily accessible in your system back up or from the CDs you ripped from originally.

Lost photos as iphoto crashed- how do I get them back?

As I was downloading my photos from my exilim camera, iphoto crashed and I lost my photos. I pressed the download and delete from camera button as I usually do- so there aren't any files left on the camera. Can I open one of those files in the picture library that I have no idea what their function is about and find my photos?? Are my pictures possibly hidden somewhere. Please help!!

Isaac:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The photos in your library are in the User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals folder. What happened is that the crash damaged the Library6.iPhoto database file, causing iPhoto to think there are no photos in the library.
You'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder and subfolders into the new library. Move the current library folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. When it asks you what to do select "Create library". Then drag just the Originals folder from the library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window. That will give you the same rolls as was in the old library but no keywords, comments, albums, etc.
To recover the files in the camera you can try MediaRECOVER. You can run it in the Demo mode to see what photos it will be able to recover before you commit to purchase.
In the future for insurance against the occasional iPhoto database corruption that you experienced I recommend that you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get you your library back. With that in mind by keeping it current I mean backup after each import and after any serious editing or creating that you might do in the library like making books, slideshows, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
Do you Twango?

My videos played fine until my pc crashed now i cant get them back in itunes they play in quicktime and the formats havent changed. they wont drag drop into i tunes or using add file.
