Mysterious Disappearance!

Equipment: iPad 3
Apple Operating System: ver. 6.1.3
When I opened the "Documents" section of Acrobat Reader this morning, all my folders and documents were gone.
What to do. Did I screw up?
Is there some way to bring them all back?
Help!

Do you back up your iPad, either to a computer or to iCloud (choices are made in iTunes)?
If you're backed up, you can do a restore. If not, you're out of luck. (You must back up your devices like you should back up your laptop or desktop computer.) See below for the iTunes dialog when you connect your iPad to your computer.

  • How do I get "Now Playing" Cover Artwork to show in bottom/left of screen.  This has mysteriously disappeared.  Thank you!

    How do I get "Now Playing" Cover Artwork to show in bottom/left of screen?
    This has mysteriously disappeared.  Thank you!

    Click on the box symbol with an arrowhead at the bottom left of the iTunes window (it's the fourth symbol from the left) to show or hide the artwork window.  Click on the title bar of the artwork window to toggle between "Now playing" and "Selected item".

  • External hard drive mysteriously disappeared.

    My external hard drive (Firewire) mysteriously disappeared. I can get it to pop up in Disk Utility, but I can't get it to show on the desktop. I've tried it on a few Mac computers. Do you have any idea what happened?

    That's very strange. I don't think I've heard of DU exhibiting that behavior before.
    I presume the reason you don't want to erase the drive is that there is un-backed-up data on it, and that if you could recover that data you could either reformat (erase) or dispose of the drive.
    You may want to try downloading and using the free demo version of one or more of these data recovery utilities:
    Data Rescue II
    FileSalvage
    VirtualLab
    In each case, the demo will show you what files the full version would be able to recover from the drive. You can then decide whether the files you could recover are valuable enough to justify buying the full version of the utility.

  • I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

    Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
    Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
    Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help.  Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort.  Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
    Just sayin.......
    Oh and Meg offered the right answer.  Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

  • TS1398 I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and then mysteriously disappeared. When I click the music icon there is an airplay icon top right which is fine for music, but I can't mirror anything e

    I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

  • My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared in my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

    Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
    You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play.  Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

  • Apple TV purchased items mysteriously disappearing.

    I purchased a season of a TV show, and I downloaded directly to Apple TV.  I have a first gen box.  I contacted Apple and they claimed they "posted the missing items to my Apple ID".  When I checked my Apple TV unit - some of the missing items appeared.  Then they mysteriously disappeared again!  I have sent multiple emails to Apple Technical Support and they have now stopped responding to my emails.  I called Technical Support and they were no help.  I saw on a discussion board where if you repurchase the items Apple will recognize that you already purchased, and allow you to download at no cost - NOT THE CASE.  I tried, and I was asked " Are you sure you want to repurchase items?"   There is an ITunes option to download previously purchased music and apps BUT NOT AN OPTION TO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED MOVIES OR TV SHOWS. 
    Note I am running the most recent version of Itunes and I am running the most recent software for Apple TV.
    This i

    I am the only person with access to the unit.  I live alone.  I doubt that Apple purposely "deleted" the content.  It should have downloaded but I believe it did not.  It believe the content was streaming, even though I opted to download.  THe point is that Apple has not corrected the provblem.  It has not provided the content for download even though I purchased it. 

  • Navionics app mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

    I purchased Navionics and downloaded on my PC and sync'd across to my iPhone3. After a couple of months it mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone and would not sync back from laptop. I have since purchased another laptop and, in desperation REpurchased another copy of Navionics. It is sitting in  iTunes along with all the other (free) apps I have downloaded, but will not sync over. Also the "Sync" command only seems to be syncing 1 thing and is not updating bookmarks etc. What's going on?  Any suggestions appreciated!

    Sorry cannot help. I have Navionics on ipad2 purchased using my new iTunes account, but now I cannot update it because whenever I press update button, a pop-up of old account will appear and prevent me from updating. It is really annoying and disappointing.

  • HT204150 how do i sync my contacts back to my iphone after they mysteriously disappeared?

    how do i sync my contacts back to my iphone after they mysteriously disappeared?

    If your contacts are stored on www.icloud.com, but not on your iPhone, try to set up iCloud again and turn on "Contacts": https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html

  • I had about 20 Notes mysteriously disappear from my iPhone 5.

    I recently had most of my notes mysteriously disappear.  The only notes that remain on my phone are over 3 years old.  Trust me, I did not delete them. I have tried recovery software with no luck. A couple of the notes were business related and were my auto mileage records. Is there any way to recover the lost notes?

    Are you syncing with Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. If so, which one.

  • My Notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

    My notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone 4S - where did they go?
    I have not synced.  But if I did, where would they be on my computer?

    Try going into Notes, then tap Accounts at the top left, and then tap All Notes. You can also try going into all of your email account settings and make sure Notes are switched on for all (green side showing).

  • Airport icon mysteriously disappeared?

    About a day or two ago, my airport icon that's always in my taskbar has mysteriously disappeared?! I need help. How on earth do I get it back. And for that matter, how did this happen in the first place?

    The response above tells you how to get it back, but you also wanted to know WHY it went away, didn't you?
    If you hold the command key (formerly known as the Apple key) down while dragging the icons in the menu bar, you can rearrange them. This is a feature of OS X. If you hold the command key and drag the item off of the menu bar... POOF! It disappears.
    My guess is that you were mousing around and selected the Airport menu while inadvertently holding the command key. The dragging action normally used to pull down the menu removed the icon from the menu bar.
    Hopefully your entire question is answered now.

  • Mysterious Disappearance of NIC

    My NIC disappeared mysteriously from my lenovo g560 It's not in the network adapters nor Device manager, I tried installing the driver but it wont continue because it doesn't detect the Wired Lan interface, wifi works fine but wired connection is not possible. I'm using WIndows 7, I installed wubi just to test ubuntu and I was surprised that it works fine on ubuntu.
    System restore isn't an option I already tried nothing happened even on an earlier point.
    I also tried Repair(refresh) installing windows 7 but still not detected, I already tried programs like everest to try and detect it but no luck.
    Please I'm out of ideas Help me out. I dont want to reformat my whole computer because of my data and programs it's a hassle to install all of them again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you connect a patch cord to the Ethernet card, do you see any led on?
    If you don't, it's very possible that you have a hardware problem. Another thing you can try is using a Linux Live CD (for example, Ubuntu) to discard any Windows related problem.

  • Art is mysteriously disappearing or moving to undesirable location when exporting to PDF

    I'm on ID CS5 on an iMac, OS 10.6.4
    I'm working on a book cover series. I started it last fall in ID CS3, front front covers and spines (for marketing files). Now, with the InDesign multiple page size feature, I thought this would be the perfect project to try it for the first time. I started a new document with a Master page for the back cover, another for the front cover, and 3 versions of spines with slightly different widths. Each spread consists of 3 pages.
    2 weird things are happening.
    One. When I export a PDF (either press res or a low res) the logo on the back cover disappears from the PDF on pages 1 and 2, but is present on pages 3, 4, 5. (The PDF pages represent the spreads for a 5-volume set). It is on the master page and has not been altered or released on any of the pages, yet views differently.
    After trying different things, I did finally get it to appear, but it appears half cut off on the bottom of the front cover on pages 1 and 2. Not at all the place I need it to be.
    So strange.
    The second thing is that I was making some minute adjustments to the placement of a box on front cover master, and all of a sudden, it shows up centered on the whole spread  on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th layout spreads. I mean it is far off from the small move I made on the master.
    The art is so jumpy you'd think it was on speed.
    Help? Advice?
    TIA,
    Anne

    Well, I fixed it. Not sure what did the trick, but since it has to go to the printer in the a.m., I'm just happy it works now.
    I recreated the graphic (logo) in Illustrator and imported it as EPS. Previously I just copied and pasted between documents because the logo is just outlines/shapes. Then I placed it on the back cover master and exported as highest version of PDF. And everything is where it's supposed to be.
    But that other wacko jumpy behavior persists.

  • My save as pdf dialog window has mysteriously disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I'm using Illustrator CS5 on a Mac running Mavericks. I have made a bunch of images using a template and now I am wanting to make pdf of my images. I go "File" > "Save as" and then select "Adobe pdf" and click save. This used to bring up a separate dialog window that asked me things about how to save the pdf, but that has disappeared. I'm also using an external monitor on my MacBook Pro and I feel that this is the culprit. I'm trying to save my individual layers so that I can turn them on/off in Adobe Reader, but that function isn't available without the dialog box. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Also, without the dialog Illustrator beeps at me if I try to use it. I have to hit enter on the keyboard to save the pdf with the default parameters.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    Sounds like the dialog is off screen. You can try to reset the Preferences by using Cmd-Opt-Shift on restarting AI. That might bring it back to the current screen.

  • I have an Iphone4.  Suddenly my "Notes" have disappeared.  Any idea what could have happened?  Also, I have another Iphone 4 on our account, and this phone also has had  the "Notes"  mysteriously disappeared.  Help... anyone?

    We have 2  IPhone 4'a on the same account.  Mysteriously it seems that we each are "missing" very important info from where we stored in our "Notes" 
    Neither one of us synced our phones recently, and  I have no idea where to look, or why this would happen.  We also have an IPAD2 and out notes are also missing from there.
    Can anyone shed some light on this, and what we need to do to retrieve our notes, or prevent this from  happening again?
    Thanks :-)

    It should be set up as a new device with her own Apple ID from her own email address.   It seems it may be setup with a backup of your iPad.
