Trying to find other Library

I was updating my wifes I-touch OS, it said it would back everything up and take upto a few hours, and it did.  when finished everything was deleted and the new OS installed.  now I cant find where the backed up info is. I think its in a diffrent library, how do I find another library. I am looking at my library when ever I attach her phone. Other problem is he account is ol and we cant figure out what her username and password were.  I hope someone has some detailed ideas, kind of likje hold your hand ideas.
Thanks

The backup that iTunes makes does not nlcude app, music and other items synced to the iPOd.  See:
iTunes: About iOS backups
That link says what is in the backup and where it is located.
Form the informaion you provided it appears that yu did the update on other than the computer the iPOd was last synced with see:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
For the other problem, the following contains information of how to regain access to yur iTunes/Aple acount.

  • I lost an xcel doc. Tried to find the Library folder in Users not there when use Finder. But when trying to upload a photo, iphoto found the library folder I can see my doc in Office 2011 Autorecov, but can't access it! How do I get User to show Library

    I lost an xcel doc a couple of days ago. Tried to find the Library folder in Users but not there when I use Finder (even when I do shift-command-G). But when trying to upload a photo in iphoto I found the library folder in Users. I can see my doc in Office 2011 Autorecovery, but can't access it! How do I get User to show Library then I can get to my long lost document?

    The auto recovery dat should be in the Microsoft User Data folder in your documents folder, not in the Library. However, I Haven't had to look recently.

  • Trying to find a library file in Lion

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a kernal panic and am really struggling to find the following file which may be the culprit:
    com.iospirit.driver.rbiokithelper               1.8.0
    From a seperate thread I have read that the user library is hidden by default in Lion. Is this the likely location of the above file because in the library/preferences I can find on my HDD no such file exists? I only have one administrator user (me) set up on my machine. How do I reveal the user library?

    In the Finder, hold the option (or alt) key and click on the Go Menu

  • How do I find the "library button" on my iPad. Trying to synch a MacBook with an IPad

    I am trying to find the "library button" on my iPad ITunes screen. Need to synch the iPad to a MacBook to transfer a downloaded movie from MacBook to iPad.

    The library refers to iTunes on the Mac - not the iPad. If the movie is in the iTunes library on the Mac, sync it to the iPad using iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
    Click on the movie that you want to sync
    Click on the Sync Movies Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen. Option+Command+S is the keyboard shortcut to enable the sidebar on a Mac.

  • I'm trying to find an easier way to import my music to iTunes. Even the most basic music player can scan your computer and import found music into your library. I don't want to move my MP3s into the iTunes folder, I don't want iTunes doing any conversion.

    I'm trying to find an easy way to import my MP3 collection into iTunes without moving, copying or changing it.
    I can't believe that iTunes doesn't have this feature, as even the most basic music players always have this.
    I only use iTunes to sync my iPod, as I like Media Monkey to play my MP3s.
    I have 137GB of MP3s, mainly from my ripping my CDs, LPs and downloading from Amazon. I've only purchased a handful of songs from iTunes,
    Any ideas on how to do this easily?

    It does have that feature. Why would you assume that it doesn't?

    Okay, no problem.
    If the top bar menu is not displayed in top left of your iTunes Library, use the CTRL+B keys to turn it on:
    On that menu, use File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder you wish to add:
    If you wish to add just one song, notice the File/Add File to Library command on that menu as well.
    Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop from the file's location into your iTunes Library.
    That's all there is to it.
    By the way, it is possible to have Amazon MP3s downloaded to your computer and then automatically added to the iTunes Library by the Amazon downloader. I do it all the time.

  • I'm trying to transfer my iPhoto library to a new mac and I can't find the library on my old mac.

    When I "revel in finder" a photo in my iPhoto app on my old mac, it shows the path: hard drive, user, meghanica, library, iphoto library and so on. BUT when I go to my hard drive and try to follow that path on my laptop, there is no "library" folder to open in meghanica. I have tried to spolight the library folder with no luck. All of my photos that I've looked at in iPhoto show this path. I can't figure out why when I go to my hard drive, it's not there. Any ideas? I'm using updated iPhoto '11 on os x Lion on a macbook pro. Thanks!

    It sounds like the library might have been placed in your Home/Library folder which is invisible.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    When you find the iPhoto library move it to your Pictures folder.

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding  library"...nothing happens.  Help!

    I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding  library"...nothing happens.  Pictures ssomehow wound up in Preview after I needed to do a clean install (Snow Leopard) and moved files from an external drive. Help!

    If you saw the images with Preview in the other iPhoto Library, than try to open iPhoto with that Library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
    If the Photos are there, replace the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder with the one from the external.  (posted by Keith)
    My response:
    The pictures don't appear in Preview in the other user account.  They also don't appear in the external drive (!!!????).  I discovered I can get the pictures into iPhoto by saving from Preview to the desktop, then importing into iPhoto, but only one at a time.
    Clearly the files are on the hard drive somewhere, but where?  The  'iPhoto library" icon that appears in my Pictures folder is a "package" which can't be opened on it's own....it's only able to be  imported into Preview.
    This feels like the Twilight Zone to me.....

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

    I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or

    I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different

    There are 6 pages of images and text, and it 
    would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did 
    download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.

    Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them.  You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
    However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

    I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy.  I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval.  Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
    Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!

  • I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

    I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files? 

    iTunes is a database.  When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
    When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
    You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library.  Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
    Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

  • HT204269 I can't find MobileSync/Backup/ in the Application Support folder in Library, I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day

    I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day after that. Now all my data from my old phone is lost including some really important things. Also before that iTunes wouldn't let me sync my iPhone 5s data to my new iPhone 6 Plus, saying that the data is corrupt, that's where all this trouble started. I've been trying to back-up the old phones data so I can access it, but it's been replaced when ever I plug the new phone in, and no the 'sync automatically when connected' is not ticked. Please help me find my back ups.
