Please Help, In a Very Bad Spot

I think this might be more of an iTunes question than an iPhone question but here goes...
I have a powerbook that's been failing for quite a while. I was able to sync up all my iTunes contents with the new iPhone 3G but the laptop completely died shortly thereafter. I took the machine to a certified apple tech and the contents of the hard drive can't be retrieved.
My iPhone has my songs, contacts, videos, photos all the new apps I've downloaded from the app store, etc.
What can I do to get EVERYTHING off the iPhone into a new iTunes libray on either my work PC or my MacBook that I plan to purchase? The iPhone is the only backup I have.
(I know I should have backed it up but this is the reality I have to deal with).
PLEASE HELP!!!

The iPhone 3G has only been out for a couple of days, so I believe it will be a while before there's much expertise out in "the wild" about what you might do to move information from it back to a computer.
I'm not sure what the Apple technician did to confirm that no files could be retrieved from your laptop, but if it were mine I would still try connecting it to another Mac with a FireWire cable, holding the T key down and powering it on to see if it would mount as a FireWire drive on the other Mac and then try to retrieve whatever I could from my Home (username) folder. Sometimes you'd be surprised what you can make happen with a "dead" hard drive/computer.

  • Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    Message was edited by: Alishajaie

    Take it to an Apple store and they will diagnose the hardware, and replace it if it is failing (which is likely).
    You can try restoring it using iTunes, set it up as New. If the problem exists before your restore your backup then it is almost certainly hardware.

  • Please help me Remove this bad file program DefaultTab

    Hi,
    As this is a permissions issue, try the following.
    This is a useful utility that will add 'Take Ownership' to the right click context menu.  The download is on the following link.
    Take Ownership
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    Once you've installed 7-Zip, just right click the zipped 'Take Ownership' folder, select 7-Zip and select Extract Files and click Ok.  When done, open the newly extracted folder and you will find the utility to add 'Take Ownership' to the right click menu.  Just double click it to install and then close the Window. 
    Now go into your Program files, right click on DefaultTab and select Take Ownership.  Now right click it again and see if you can now delete it.
    Let me know.
    Best regards,

  • Please help I need info badly!

    I have just ordered myself an iPod video, 30gb. I currently own an iPod photo 30gb with around 6gb of music on it. Most of the music on it is only on the iPod, ie I copied the mp3's directly to the Pod to save hard drive space on my G5. How can I go about putting this music on my new iPod video?I have tried dragging the music from the iPod to the iTunes library but it wont work. Surely this can be done? It will take me hours to put it all on again! PLEASE HELP!

  • HT204053 I have accidentally deleted my notes  ! Is there a way it can be restored. Please help this is very vital information

    I have accidentally deleted my notes on my iPhone a3GS and since it synchronises with my new ipad they have also been deleted on the ipad. I have no computer or laptop. How can I restore them . Please help!!

    If you have been doing icloud backups, then you can restore that backup, which will include notes.  The only downside is that you'll be rolling back your device to a previous state (newer data since the backup will be lost).
    If you have not performed backups to icloud, then your data is gone.

    If there is any data on the Mac, that you wish to retain, be sure to back it up before upgrading!
    And some additional info.
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.

    Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
    If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
    As Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, this has already been done.
    Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.

  • Please help this is very unusual!

    Ok this is really annoying. My IPhone battery was low today so I hooked it up to my computer, for some reason I don't use the wall charger very much. When I hooked it up today, ITunes said it couldn't read the phone and recommended I do a restore. I did and now it seems I have lost the photos and video I had on there, I'm not sure if they were being synced to ITunes or not. I restored and it gave me the usual prompt if I wanted to set up the phone as a new phone or restore the backup from my old phone, and I said restore. After several minutes where ITunes appeared to be doing nothing, I disconnected the phone and reconnected it again, mostly to get ITunes to respond to my keyboard commands. From ITunes, I was able to get VoiceOver turned on, allowing me to use the phone. It was asking me the same thing ITunes was asking me, whether I wanted to set it up as a new phone or restore from backup. I said restore from ITunes, and it said connect to ITunes. I then pulled the cable and reconnected the phone again, but still can't get past this screen. How can I use my phone again? What could have caused ITunes to not recognize the phone? I hooked it up to the computer before I started the IOS update on Friday night, and when it was done it worked as it has always done. On the bus today I did reset my data usage and call time statistics but that didn't seem to do anything. Also, ITunes complained that there was no sim card, but I haven't let anyone touch the phone in several days, and I know I didn't take the sim card out. Can anyone help?

    Update, I had to set the phone up as a new phone. After that, it synced to ITunes and complained that it couldn't read the phone, but it had shut off the compact voice which I was glad of. However, is there a way to get my messages, call history, and voicemail back? That part is as if it was a new phone. When I reset statistics, it said current period was 0 minutes, but lifetime was like 4 hours, which sounds right. How do I get this information and my recent calls back? Another problem I am having is the auto-lock setting has been set to default, despite it being different on my phone. Also, when it copied my apps, it just put them in a random order, not the order I wanted them in. Is there a way that I can quickly restore all this? I can restore apps to their correct places by moving them, but that takes quite some time, and still doesn't solve my other problems. Can anyone help? Does anyone have an idea what I should do in the future if this happens? What causes it in the first place?

  • Please Help: evil movieclips position badly!

    Hiya,
    I'm trying to use a custom skin I made with Flash CS3,
    inserted by Dreamweaver CS3:
    http://www.alternium.net/video_test.htm
    I've been working from the tutorial at:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial_pt2_02.html
    As you can see from the top link, these controls are fubar.
    The buttons, when located in the appropriate space, fall behind the
    frame. In the file "video_test.htm", above, you can see that the
    top of the play button is just barely visible in the lower left
    corner. I've left the rest higher than normal on the y-axis for
    illustrative purposes.
    On top of that, all of the button states seem to be visible.
    The seekbar handle looks possessed and the buttons can't make up
    their mind which is on and which is off. Why is this? I'm using the
    appropriate naming conventions: up_mc, dn_mc, over_mc, disabled_mc;
    pause-set, play-set, stop-set, etc...
    Can somebody please give me some good idea where I'm going
    wrong?

    One of the limitations of Sub-picture Highlights is that they are 2-bit color. Either that color or fully transparent, i.e. not that color. One only has 4 colors to choose from, but those CAN be changed back in Encore. Transparency (the opposite of Opacity in PS) can also be set.
    Now, you state:
    the highlight layer always looks badly pixelated and goes out of position
    This is a two parter - the first is explained above. That Pixelation is a weakness in Sub-picutre Highlights. This is not something in Encore, but part of the DVD specs.
    Now, for part two: back in PS, open up your Button Layer Set. You will see that your Highlight Layer is not visible. For this operation, turn visibility ON and select it. Choose the Move Tool, and use the cursor keys to Move that Layer, one pixel at a time to position it where you want it. Turn visibility OFF, and then hit Save to update back in Encore.
    Also note that Sub-picture Highlights will appear OVER your graphics. Take that into consideration in their design.
    For Sub-picture Highlights disappearing, check that your Menu's PAR matches your Encore Project. If you have NTSC DV 720 x 480 Standard (4:3), PAR = 0.9, that is what you Menu should be as well. For other Project specs, match those dimensions perfectly.
    Good luck,
