Only 1 project disappeared long after computer crashed.
The problem:
I'm sure many people have asked this before, but I was working in iMovie , and I have several projects, and only one of them went missing. The other day the computer crashed, but when it came to only a few minutes of editing were lost. Then, I created a new project and now that I am checking, one entire project is missing. (the one that the computer crashed on ) Is this irretrievable? Note I can function with but am unaccustomed to Macs and iMovie.
Things I've done:
I've rebooted and rechecked under the event it should be filed under, as well as under [all projects]. I also checked around in my dropbox folder, but it's nowhere to be seen. One thing that just happened was I'm not sure what was pressed but I somehow created a project (by a different means) under the correct event, so it has the correct.
Info:
iMovie 10.0.3
OSX 10.9.2
When it crashed the screen went gray and it had words I don't remember it was the first time the computer crashed for me.
I am not the administrator and do not have the permission to install things. (Not the owner of the computer)
Please help, thanks

\tYou need to uninstall PSE before you can reinstall it. It sounds like you didn't properly remove it. Use control panel in windows. PSE for windows doesn't do repair installs.

Activating Project Professional 2010 after a crash
hi there:-
I am looking to reactivate/reinstall Project Professional 2010 after a crash. I have a product activation code having downloaded the software online (no disks). What do I need to do?
Much obliged
TomTom,
It should be pretty straightforward. I assume you saved a copy of the .img file you downloaded to a location that was safe from your crash. Without that you're probably out of luck.
Just re-install from the .img file and when the installation gets to the part for activation, go ahead and activate it.
Hope this helps.

Reinstall Acrobrat Pro X. Can't reinstall Acrobat Pro X after computer crash
I am trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro X after a compter crash. I enter the correct serial number but then get asked to select a prior product, in my case Acrobat Pro 9, and enter the serial number (this is the number that appears in my account), but there is nowhere to enter the serial number. And if I try to reinstall Pro 9 it won't let me. Do I have to deinstall Pro X first, or what? ALl input welcomed, thanks. Shanter
Thanks Bill, that seems to have done the trick. I am now successfully

My computer crashed back in Feb or March of this year and I just recently reinstalled itunes on it. Once reinstalled itunes updated software. Once this was all done I noticed that alot of songs on my IPod were no longer in itunes. Also, the folders in itunes no longer matched what are on my IPod. itunes says the computer is active for itunes and many songs on my IPod are on itunes but many are missing. How do I get itunes to just sync and match what is on my IPod to include all songs and folders. Many of the missing songs on my IPod and not in itunes are ones I purchased from itunes so they should have them. I am getting very discouraged with itunes. I tried to do a support call and pay the fee to have them call to address but I am stationed oversees and they would not accept my overseas number as valid.
Any help is greatly appreciated. As stated, I just want the music now on itunes to match with my IPod to include folders. Seems music got lost. Any suggestions how to back up the music so if this happens again I do not have this issue. I figured itunes would have my music or at a min just sync up what is on my IPod.
Thanks gunnerProbably a bit late to help in this thread, but the question is asked & answered frequently.
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.

Wireless no longer accessible after computer crash
I recently had my computer crash and had to have everything reinstalled. Not sure what I might have had to reinstall with the router. I can access my internet via the tether to the router (WRT160Nv2) but can no longer access the wireless. I have tried renewing my IP address but it will not renew. My laptop IP addy is 169.254.1.2 but the IP for the router is 192.168.1.1. I realize there is a conflict but have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?
1. Make sure your laptop is connected to your wireless network. Search for networks, connect to your SSID and enter your passphrase to connect.
2. Open a command prompt window on your laptop and enter "ipconfig /all" while connected to your wireless network. Post the full output. -
My windows computer crashed last night and shortly thereafter, my iphone updated to IOS 7 and i was forced to do a system restore before i could preform a backup... I tried accessing my old contacts, texts, notes, pics and apps thru icloud (i have it set up to automatically preform backup). It claims that the last back up was after my computer crashed/the update/system restore... I thought all was lost, then went to redownload some old apps. They all appeared with the icloud symbol next to them (instead of "free" or a price), so i'm assuming that i DO have things backed up on icloud? Why are my apps the only media showing back up? Is there a way i can salvage my contacts, texts, pictures and other deleted media still?
Apps are not included in a backup - only a reference to which apps are on the device. They are restored from copies in the app store.
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com. Check the contacts and other pages where your data had been stored. If they are not there, then the only place they could be is in a backup, either to itunes or (/and) icloud. You'd have to restore the backup. If the data is there, then your device is not connected to icloud. Go to Settings>icloud to be sure it's logged into the right account.
As for pictures...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure". -
I have to search for each song after computer crash. I have external drive
I was working on a project with realplayer when it caused my computer to crash. The only way to shut off my computer was to hit my power switch on the surge protector and reboot that way. Anyway, I have about 3000 songs on my external drive. Every time I want to play a song, a window pops up saying that it could not locate the original file, would you like to locate now. So now i have to search for the file everytime. How do I make it so Itunes automatically goes to my hard drive like it was before? I just downloaded Itunes 8.2, but couldnt figure it out. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Do you recall what drive letter the exHD was using before the crash?
Is it still the same, or did Windows assign it a different letter?
The itunes database stores the entire path name to songs, so if it changed from F:/Music/blablabla to G:/Music/blablabla, that would cause it.
If you dont care about playlists, ratings, and play counts, it is a lot easier to just clear out your library and add everything back in. -
Restoring iTunes after computer crash
One day, I hooked my iPod up to my computer and it told me that a couple hundred songs were not authorized to play on this computer. Then it removed them from my iPod, but left them in iTunes. Those songs were every single purhcase I had ever made on iTunes.
Later that day, my computer started freaking out. I made a copy of that purchased music to CD, and a few minutes later, my computer crashed and burned.
After reinstalling Windows XP Professional, I imported the burned music into iTunes. However, when I hook up iPod to the computer, it tells me that iPod can only sync to one library at a time, and do I want it to erase everything on the iPod (all of my music that wasn't purchased at iTunes) and overwrite it with everything on my current library. I tell it no, because I don't want it to erase everything on the iPod.
So how do I get to it actually "sync" by adding what's on my iPod to my iTunes library, and what's in my iTunes library to my iPod, without having to erase everything on my iPod?

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod, the transfer of purchased content has recently been introduced with iTunes 7. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

"....without having to erase everything on my iPod?"
If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. -
How do I reload purchased music on my desk top after a computer crash restored with back up external hard drive?
Hello Boogiec522,

I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay. -
