PLEASE HELP: iTunes Lib. crashed, need playlists back!
My iPod broke last week, so it got a new hard drive, and will be back tommorrow. Today, my iTunes library totally crashed.. I still have the library files and all that say (damaged) and the temp files, the xml, ets.. I can reimport my songs, I don't care, I just REALLY need my playlists back.. Please help...
iTunes 7.0.2
A damaged library cannot be repaired.
If you still have the files in your 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and don't mind to loose the changes you've made since upgrading from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7, there might be a way to restore as much as possible.
Locate the most recent file in the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder.
My most recent file in there is 'iTunes Library 2006-09-12' (the day I upgraded to iTunes 7).
Create a copy of that file, rename it to 'iTunes Library' and put it at /Users/Username/Music/iTunes, replacing the existing one.
Then run iTunes. It should recognize the iTunes 6 format of the file and start determining 'gapless playback information' again.
After a while you should have your library back.
All changes you made after upgrading to iTunes 7 are lost of course, but song files you added are still there.
If your songs files are at the default location (/Users/Username/Music/iTunes) and the 'iTunes Music folder location' (Preferences>Advanced>General) is also set to that location, drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' folder on the library window in iTunes.
This will add the songs you added since upgrading to iTunes 7, to the library.
I've done a test of this a few weeks ago and it worked flawless except for Podcasts. Many Podcast entries in the library were duplicated.
No big deal if you don't have them or maybe a few, but a real annoyance if you have many of them.
Hope this helps.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend. -
I change my apple ID and password like a week now and after changing all my information and MY apple ID, i noticed that i lost all my picture in my camer roll and my photo stream too ;(.. Can anyone please help me how to bring it back all my photos?
I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in. -
Please help apps. Crashing on 64 gb 4 gen touch. Run 5.0.1 I know the temp fix of logging in but want to fix report shows "low mmemory crash" which is not true
Why do you say "not true"? The 4G iPod only has 256 MB of memory and out of memoty errors are not uncommon with iOS 5.
memory is different that the 8, 32 ir 64 GB or storage on the 4G iPods.
To resolve double click the Home button and delete the apps from the mulitasking dock that you are not using and the power off and back on the iPod. You have to do that periodically. -

System model name: iMac12,2 (Mac-942B59F58194171B)Both Memory Clean and Clean My Mac could have cause the damage which triggered the kp.
I would back up your Mac, erase and reinstall. Then Migrate your user data from the backup.
Uninstalling Tuxera is a troubleshooting process. You don't have to keep it uinstalled, just long enough to test to see if it is causing the problems.
However, if it doesn't happen regularly, it would be hard to determine if it was the cause. And, as I mentioned, I don't think it would be the cause. -
Please help : itunes download disconnect my internet and TV box !
Please help : itunes download disconnect my internet and TV box. How can I fix this ?
Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not, and as you say that you don't have a credit or debit card (though not all debit cards appear to be accepted anyway) then you will need to create a new account, and use the instructions on the about 'create an iTunes ...' page when creating it. -

I had a new phone and I clicked some pictures and then I restore my new phone with the old back up and I lost my new clicked photos...please help me how can I get back those photos?
You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

[email protected]Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable. this is now the third day and nothing improves please help. iTunes says my sim is locked but I can't unlock it
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

Accidentally i have deleted the Safari, please help me how to reinstall it back, I'm using MacBookAir - MAC OS X - Version 10.5.8
Thanks
DimitrisIt would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
Start here:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:

and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Then maybe it's time to buy a new Windows notebook.
The RAM has either gone bad or somehow become unseated. Also there is the chance that the RAM slots have failed.
