Update 7 library gone for good?

Installed latest update. Library disappeared. Made the mistake of installing update again. Posts say to revert to last library xml document, but this does not work for me- since I installed twice, the last one is as blank as the first. All files are on hard drive and can be opened individually, but library database is gone so itunes doesn't recognize their location. How can I rebuild the library so itunes will know i have these files?

  • Upgraded to ios5 and my calendar was wiped clean. Is it gone for good?

    upgraded to ios5 and my calendar was wiped clean. Is it gone for good?

    My phone says it's showing All Calendars.  This morning, other people said to disable and then re-enable the iCloud Calendar, which has somehow allowed about 50% of my Calendar entries to reappear, but half are still missing.  This is almost more frustrating because if half were saved when it ran the backup, where are the rest?
    All of my calendar entries were entered directly into my iPhone, either manually from the Calendar app, or by getting into it from a Yahoo Email that had an Event I needed to save.  I guess I'll just have to break out the paper calendar and try to re-enter everything that's missing.
    The iTunes version I'm running now seems to be the most current one since the constant upgrades are one of the reasons I stay out of iTunes usually.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is my iPod gone for good?

    I was canoeing with my dad and his girlfriend on Friday, and my iPod (a late 2006 Apple refurb) fell into the 3 ft deep water. We decided it was dead, so we went and had a good time for an hour. When we came in, my dad went in the water and retrieved it. once I let it dry, it flashed the apple logo, the sad iPod face with the iPod support web address, and a low battery symbol.
    I tried connecting it to my cousins' computer and iPod dock. The computer recognized the iPod as a "malfunctioning USB device", and the dock would not recognize it at all. Now, I am back with my mom, and it is flashing the "very low battery, please wait" and a different low battery symbol extremely fast, even though it has been hooked up to my computer for nearly 45 minutes, and the computer still does not even recognize it is hooked up. It does not appear to be charging at all. Is my iPod gone for good, or can I still save it?

    While the circuit board can probably be dried out and used again and maybe the battery might charge normally after the circuit board is completely dry, I would bet that the hard drive is probably shot since it probably has water inside it and can not easily be dried out.

  • I recorded a video using the camera but deleted it by accident, has it gone for good?

    I recorded a video on my iPad using the camera and deleted it by accident, have I lost it for good?

    Unless your last back up to your computer was after it was taken and before it was deleted then yes, it's gone - there is no trashcan or undelete facility on the iPad. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you could try restoring the iPad to the backup and see if that puts it back (you'll need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just restore an individual app)

  • OKR partition gone for good?

    Ok I lost the partition that had the okr files. I was looking at putting win 7 with Xp home duel o/s.
    Is there a way to make another or have I lost it for good?
    It is a nice way to repair the o/s if any thing was haywire.
    Cheers

    Just download all the drivers needed for XP and keep them safe just in case you decide to go back from Win 7. This is what i did.

  • Once USB disk sleeps, gone for good.

    When my Lacie 500 GB USB 2 disk sleeps (and sometimes even when it doesn't), it becomes unavailable to the network. It is plugged into the USB port of the AEBS via a powered Keyspan 2.0 hub.
    Most of the time it works fine, mounting automatically on my MacBook and/or manually on my G4 iMac, but sometimes the green light on the hub goes out (sometimes not) and the disk is no longer available. Time interval before this happens is very random, but if the disk is mounted and in use it stays that way with no glitches. It's only when things are inactive that it tends to disappear, though if it has been working it also usually remounts just fine after the MacBook sleeps. I have checked for firmware updates for the Lacie (none) and have all the latest updates on the other hardware (both Macs running 10.4.11).
    When it's "gone," it won't show up in Airdisk Utility or the menu or via the Go-->Connect to server menu. Sometimes unplugging the AC power for the hub and re-powering brings it back. If that fails, then unplugging and reconnecting the Lacie's USB cable sometimes works. Last resort, which always works, is power-cycling the drive itself.
    When I look in the AEBS logs, it often shows "USB disk unplugged" when the disk has disappeared.
    Any thoughts/advice?
    -dan

    No luck, but thanks for a very good diagnostic suggestion.
    With the disk plugged directly into the AEBS USB port, it slept and dropped off the network. Plugging it into the hub did not revive it; it took a power-cycle of the drive.
    Are your drives partitioned?

  • Aperture 2: Preview pix gone for good

    After upgrading ( ! ) to the v.2 trial, all preview pix are gone. No way to restore them.
    Any idea what I could do about it?
    Thank you very much!
    Peter
    PS: As Aperture freezes every time I shut it down, I guess I'll stay with v.1 until v.2 is ready for release. I really HATE Apple's premature release policy! Leopard X.5.2 shouldn't have have been released earlier than yesterday - as X.5.0.

    You bet I am.
    I'm experiencing the exact same issue after using the trial Aperture 2.0, activating it, and upgrading the library.
    Every update available at the time of this writing has been applied.
    I also found this thread with the same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6592607

  • Clock gone for good

    So, in the last few hours I noticed my clock was gone from my menu bar up top. I went into system prefs and the box was unchecked, so I checked it and closed out the window. But it still wasn't there. So I did it again. And agian. It wouldn't stay checked. I remembered this morning I was prompted to install an update for iStat menus, so I thought that might be causing a conflict. I went and uninstalled them, and now everything is gone from the right side of my menu bar except for Adium, fan control, and spotlight. And I can't get it back. Help!
    -Caroline

    Try removing these two files (the "xxxx" stands for numbers):
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist"
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxxxxx.plis t"
    Then log out and back in. The right side of the menu bar should be in a default state. Now try adding your things back, one at a time. Run for awhile, log out and back in, add another. It may all be fixed, but if one of them causes thing to go wrong, at least you'll know which one is the problem.

  • Ipod Nano - Stuck in limbo, or gone for good?

    A long, long time ago, in a time when the nano was first released, I bought one... Unfortunately, it quickly became useless as my music library expanded. So, I upgraded to an 80GB Video. Anywho, I decided to keep my nano, but since I wouldn't be using it, I put it in a box and put it away.
    Recently, I dug up the old nano, just for kicks. Figured I'd attempt to power it on as a joke, was sure the battery would be dead. Didn't turn on. No big deal, I thought, it had been sitting for awhile. So, I plugged it in to my Mac mini. I didn't get any response on the mini to indicate that the nano was even hooked up, but I figured it was just cause the battery was so drained that it needed to charge up for a bit. So, I left it plugged in over night.
    The next morning, I woke up, checked on the nano, still nothing. Tried the "Reset" method amongst several other techniques to get the nano working, and still nothing.
    To sum up, I get absolutely 0 response from this nano. Nothing on the iPod when it's plugged in, nothing on the computer when it's plugged in, and the screen just stays in "off" mode. I've tried the standard things (Different computer, different USB port, etc.) but since my Video works fine on this set up, it really shouldn't be an issue.
    So, can anyone tell me, what's up with my iPod? Is it dead? Or just really really asleep?
    Thanks.

    The battery is probably dead and needs replacing. You can't leave an iPod battery for a long time without regular charging (even if not in use). The battery needs to be "exercised".
    Lithium-ion batteries ( like the one in the iPod) need to be used. If you don’t use your iPod at all, it's recommended to complete a charge cycle at least once a month in order to keep it in working condition.

  • RAW file gone for good - can I access my 1:1 preview to save as a JPEG?

    Stupid me formatted my CF card in the camera and lost my photos - I used Lexar's Image Rescue and also CardRaider to get them back, but one can't be recovered. I do have a 1:1 preview in my Lightroom library. How can I get to that JPEG and at least save that version of the photo, which is better than nothing? I know it is hidden in the lrdata file but don't know how to proceed from there, if it's even possible.
    I am running Lightroom 1.4.1 on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.3
    If anyone can help, that would be great!

    Actually, LRViewer would be the one if you still have your Catalogue and Previews. From http://ImageIngester.com by Marc Rochkind.

  • When text messages are deleted are they gone for good?

    My daughter accidentally deleted messages that I need for court. Is there any way to retrieve them after she cleared my conversation ?

    The only way to possibly retreive them would be a restore from backup created after the messages were received but prior to them being deleted.
    If you do not regularly sync and backup the device, they are gone.

  • Original email account gone for good

    The email the account was set up with is no longer active. Prior employer. How can I gain access to adding apps with out it. I have created a new account. But still no luck.

    Hi rcdancy,
    You don't want to create a new account. You want to go into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID to a new email address. If you have used that email address on the new account that you set up, then you won't be able to use that one.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were purchased under. That is why the Apple ID with the old email address is showing up and asking for a password when an update for one of those apps is needed.
    If you want to continue to use your new Apple ID, then you will at least want to go into Manage your Apple ID for the old ID and change the password to be the same as the new ID password. That way, when a password screen comes up, it won't matter which ID is displaying.
