Mysterious disappearing THM files - iPhone 3.0

I am trying to figure out something that happened while I was developing
a simple web server for the iPhone. While working with version 2.2.1 I was
able to see THM (thumbnail) files and JPG files in the same directory.
The directory ../../Media/DCIM/100APPLE/ held both. So I could download the
thumbnails (fast) and present them in my browser window. Click on the thumbnail
it would open the larger jpg, click on the filename it would download the
file to the laptops desktop. But when I switched to os 3.0, the thumbnails
disappeared. That is, they are no longer in the directory after I did the restore.
Now when I take pictures, no THM files. Does anyone know what the new directory
they could be hiding in? Thanks for any insight on this one.
Doug

Glen,
Sorry about the points thing.
Would you have received more
points for a 'solved' versus
'helpful'? I haven't done the rating
before and can't see how to change it.
I was attempting to check helpful
and then also solved.

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.

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).

My facetime app has disappeared from my iphone screen. I did not do anything for it to disappear so what happened?

On the iPhone there is no FaceTime app or icon for it.
FaceTime is integrated into iOS.
You access it through contacts.

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.

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

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

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.

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4( version) 6.1.3 after i restored my device, while these PDFs still exist in my itunes books list. I can't as well add new PDFs/documents to my ibooks app.Please help.

A backup includes most items in iBooks, but I believe it does not include PDF files. Are you saying that in the App tab (in itunes), for iBooks, the PDF files still show up? Or do you mean something else by "itunes books list"?

My songs are disappearing from my iphone

For some reason when I plugged in my iphone the other day half the songs had exclamation points in itunes and were gone from the phone. so i spent a while fixing all the tracks i lost. on next plug in to sync it happened again, this time every song had exclamation points and wont play on iphone. I may have changed a setting without realizing it. can i undo this? my 2500 songs are still showing in itunes but my external HD has over 10000 songs on it. i dont want all of those on my phone. my 2500 took a long time to build and i dont wanna start over again. since they are still showing when i plug the phone in, there must be a way of resotring them on my iphone? please someone help me!
itunes is such a *****. never again! android so simple just drag the song onto phone folders and thats it! itunes is very sensitive to any setting being changed it throws everything off. i am really frustrated i hope its an easy fix. thanks for help guys

Further to that, I should mention that when I plug it into itunes now, it shows that there are songs on my phone (with the ! next to them) that I have long sing deleted manually from the phone ... why are they suddenly showing up now? And they're not all songs that I purchased through itunes, many are my own songs from mp3s. I know itunes will sometimes show greyed out songs that aren't actually on the phone, but these aren't greyed out, just with a ! next to them.
I'd say at least 300 songs have the ! next to them now and have disappeared from my iphone in the last day. All I've found is that the ! means that itunes can't find the source file for the songs, but why would that be a problem when I am actually looking at the device on itunes ... I don't actually use itunes to play music on my computer and the source is always the phone, that and I manually manage my music on my phone, so it doesn't try to automatically sync with a particular folder.
So I'm really confused why some songs are effected by this and others aren't, I mean I can delete the songs with the ! and readd them and they show up on my phone again, but who's to say they just won't delete themselves in a day or so again like before.

The iTunes app has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5s on 7.0.2

The iTunes Store app has mysteriously vanished from my iPhone 5s running 7.0.2. It was literally there one minute and gone the next: I checked the phone, locked it, then had to check something else and when I unlocked the icon was missing.
So far I have tried:
A full system search - the app does not appear in the universal search list.
Tried getting Siri to launch it - Siri replies that it cannot find an app called iTunes.
Checked restrictions in the general settings - restrictions are off.
Done a full wipe and restore from a backup prior to the app going missing - iTunes app still not present.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Well, just to tie this one up I'll say that the problem resolved itself. About three weeks after posting this question the iTunes app mysteriously reappeared. I did not do anything to try and get it back and the phone had not updated any software for a while. I have no idea why it disappeared or why it reappeared but there we go; maybe it fancied a holiday?

Why did a whole bunch of apps disappear from my iPhone!?

A great many apps, a number which I cannot guess, have suddenly disappeared from my iPhone upon sync with the new iTunes 9. After this sync, I installed iPhoneOS 3.1 and sync'd again. The apps are simply gone. They're not in my trash bin. They're not in my Home Directory. They are still in my Home Directory under ~/Music/iTunesLibrary/Mobile Applications
Why have they disappeared from my iTunes Library? Why did I see a message stating they were being removed from my iPhone? What gives? Some of my most used applications were simply removed without my permission.
What happened to the Apple Macintosh "It Just Works" slogan? Apple's software of late has not done what I want, and tries to think on its own. Stop that! Do what I say. When I click, you jump. When I don't click, don't jump.

I just experienced this same **** problem! I synced my iphone with my computer (like normal), i noticed it was taking a while to sync so I canceled it only to find that ALL OF MY APPS ARE GONE! I'm glad i stopped it because it started to delete my music. and even the folder that I had associated with my itunes library is not showing up in itunes. It surely is an itunes problem, not an iphone problem. I am aware that I can re-download them one by one for free but I want them all back with out hours of doing that! they are even gone from my applications file in iTunes. I'm with you in that apple really has abandoned that whole, "it just works". because it does not "just work". They try to use itunes to lock down their **** but it just turns out to be a pain. I want to know of a place in my account that I can simply go to download all my apps at once?! apple can be so smart sometimes, but so stupid other times and very user unfriendly with regards to the iphone. thumbs down apple.

How do you stop synched iTunes music disappearing from my iPhone 5?

I have about 35G of music on my iTunes on my iMac, a good % of it having been purchased on ITunes. The music sync setting for my iPhone 5 is automatic / everything.
For the past couple of months, I've been noticing music disappearing from my iPhone when it's offline (eg on the plane, when I listen to my music on my iPhone the most). Such music would come back as "in the cloud" when I regain wifi / data access. I would then download them onto my iPhone again. And then they would disappear again! How can I stop such annoying behavior? Does switching music sync to manual help? Thank you.

How do I deal with .thm files and iMovie?

I've been using my digital camera to take short movies. When I download them onto my computer they show up as a file with a name like: MOV02161.MOV and another with an identical name but the extension .THM. When I double-click on the .mov file it opens in Quicktime and plays back no problem. When I import the .mov file into iMovie it plays without sound. I've noticed that the .thm file seems to be crucial to whether there is sound or not (I tried trashing one but then the Quicktime video played without sound!) but I can't import the .thm files into iMovie. Do I have to convert them to some other format? How do I do that?

kstp,
the .thm file is simply a jpeg thumbnail version of your movie which you could probably view by changing the name from .thm to .jpeg (not entirely sure about that). Your audio problem is more likely caused by iMovie not having the codec needed to play the audio format encoded into your mov container. Maybe someone here more familiar with iMovie can tell you what audio formats work within iMovie, and you can set that in your camera to prevent this problem.
Now, worst case scenario is that you'll probably have to extract the audio and convert it to something that works in iMovie. You can extract the audio from within iMovie from the advanced options menu. You can also use a free app called FFMpegX to extract and convert it to something else. Hopefully though, someone here will have a more convenient solution for you.

My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
Thank you.
DD

Hi Dahveed,
Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
In the end I was forced to upgrade.
I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.
