Retrieving Lost Text After Burning CD's?

Unbelievable! I wanted to back up my iTunes purchases by burning onto disks. 15 disks to be exact. All went well and they are great. EXCEPT, yours truly forgot to check the 'add cd text' in preferences. I'm not going to reburn them, as that would be a great waste. But is there anyway to retrieve the text so that it displays when these disks are being played? Or do I need to print out the list and then manually add the text for ALL 300 songs?
And as a follow up.... I have never checked the 'add cd text' before burning a cd and this is the first time that's happened. They were all songs purchased from iTunes too. Any help for this?

Hint: For backing up iTunes Store purchases, audio CDs are not a good way to go. If you ever needed to recover the files you purchased, you'd have to rip the audio CDs into a lossless format (WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) in order to avoid losing sound quality. In the end, you'd have files way bigger than the originals were. I would recommend just backing up the actual purchased files to another hard drive or to CDs/DVDs.
I appreciate your advice on the backups NoName. I'm fairly new to computers (this is my first) and I do plan to get an external drive. But as a last desperate resort in case everything ever went wrong, I wanted to just get them somewhere for now. But I hear Ya' and I will do that as soon as I am able!

Lost texts after ios5 update ..

During the new update I had a ton of problems. My phone wouldn't back up it kept erroring. I finally got that to work. Then my phone was frozen. It kept turning on and shutting off. When it came back on it froze on the lock screen. The auto lock didnt even kick in. So I had to reset my phone but holding the home button and the sleep button up top. I then sync'ed my phone again. I got everything back but all my saved text messages. Are these saved texts gone forever?

You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts. In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections). Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list. You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person. Select either contact then hit the back button. You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone. Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old. This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts. You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts. This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
Good luck!

Retrieving Lost Text Accidentally Deleted When Using Back Space Key

Spent hour writing comment. Meant to use backspace to backspace but it went to prior page. Lost all that was written. Why not redesign FF so that this never happens to anyone again. Let it be able to go forward to EXACTLY where you were in the text entry field with text intact. Please and thankyou!

You can set the pref http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.backspace_action to 2 on the about:config page.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Lost Sound after burning to iDVD

I have 53 minutes of marching bands that plays perfectly in iMovie. I chose the White Reflections theme in iDVD and the project works on the computer. After hours of transferring the DVD looks beautiful but there is no sound. The original sound is embedded in the HD formatted tape. I really need some suggestions since the Band Director is depending on this DVD.
Thanks
Paul

Hi PointeCap:
Welcome to discussions!
This is what Apple has to say regarding your problem:
iDVD 6: No audio on finished DVD
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550
Might want to be sure you have all of the iLife apps updated- ( ie QuickTime, iMovie, iDVD, etc.)

How can I go back and retrieve lost files after deleting an App

I updated my Branchfire iAnnotate App last evening. When opening the App my screen went blank. Branchfire recommended a force quit which I did and the App was gone. I downloaded the App from my purchased Apps successfully. Upon opening the App all files were gone. I need those files or I am big time screwed. Someone please help!!! Thanks

Jim, thanks for the response. To be clear, there is no way to go back in time with the iPad? is there an App for that process?

How do I retrieve lost voice memo that WASN'T backed up?

While updating to the new IOS 7.1, my phone froze and went into recovery mode. I had to do a reset and update and then restore from a backup file which took upwards of an hour. Oh joy. I try to back up my Iphone 4s to my Macbook often so I didn't lose too much during the reset except for a very important voice memo.
My question is, is there any way to retrieve that voice memo lost during the update if it wasn't backed up? I've tried iExplorer and some other data recovery software but they are only able to extract what is already available on the phone or from a previous back up. I called into my local Apple store and they referred me to a super expensive data recovery specialist. I've heard of USB sticks, Iphone Data Recovery sticks that are supposed to be able to retrieve old data from when you first bought your phone. But they are expensive as well and I'm not entirely sold that it'll work for me.
Does anyone know of any alternative methods? Or if it's even possible to retrieve lost data after a reset? I'm desperate to get this voice memo back so thanks for any help!

No. It's gone. And you can ignore the spamvertisements that are sure to pop up touting data recovery software. The only thing they are going to recover is your money... straight into their own pockets.

Lost text messages after ios 8 upgrade

I recently upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 8 through iTunes on my PC. After the upgrade, I lost all of my text messages and many of my photos on my photostream. My photos were backed up, so I'm not as worried about that. Is there any way to recover the lost text messages?

Same here.
Haven't found a solution yet.
please report as a bug - Apple do not monitor these forums.

Unwanted text after iDVD burn

After burning a Slideshow in iDVD the text 'Drag photos or movies here' appears on the diagonal across all pictures in the slideshow when played on a DVD. This does not appear in the Preview phase on the computer before burning is commenced. How do I get rid of this unwanted tex?
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

John,
Under iDVD General Preferences item 'Show Drop Zones' had been enabled, hence the text was superimposed on the selected picture. Once 'unticked' the text disappeared.
Thanks! That's something I had missed in the past because I had always added a background photo. Unchecking that box and using a theme like 'Full Frame' gives a nice gray background for those who want a simple DVD menu.

I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??
