Updated software and now everything is GONE!

I just updated my software to the latest version 3.1.2 or whatever it is, and whne everything was done downloading, every single song, movie, app, picture was gone from my ipod. EVERYTHING. I have searched the forums and haven't seen this topic so I am wondering if anyone has had this problem. I can get maybe 60% of my stuff from itunes, but some of this stuff, like my pictures and videos, I can't get back. Needless to say, and I furious and would greatly appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you.

Maybe it will be for the next time your hardware fails.
Maybe next time you'll have a backup.
Did you expect some miracle here to undue the failures?
Being crass with folks trying to help doesn't help either.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image.

I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP. When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened. I still get the missing files image. When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable. It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

"When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
Brownale6 how can u reload folder in to FCP.
As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
For Event
external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.
For project
external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

Just updated software and now epson printer no longer works

I'm frustrated. I updated software ( as recommended by apple) and now my epson printer no longer is working. I've read through some threads about throwing the extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBEthernetHost away... and that is not working for me. I cannot print. I have also followed the info on the apple site about deleting the printer and then readding it, all to no avail. please help. thankyou.

Without knowing anything about the printer, version of OS X installed, or how the printer is connected it is difficult to help you out. When posting please post specifics.

Update software and now all of a sudden Nano useless!!

My Nano was working perfectly. I updated the lastest software per the new itunes software suggestion and all of a sudden my nano does not even get close to working.

I have a 30GB ipod, just loaded latest ipod software 7 onto my laptop and then onto my ipod now ipod useless. Folder with exclamation point appears in window. When I connect it to my computer it tells me that the ipod is corrupted and needs to be restored to factory settings. When I click restore my ipod disappears from the LH screen and the update process stops almost immediately once I click restore. I have removed all ipod software from my computer and then reinstalled 7 and still no change....not really sure what I can do next or if is futile and time to purchase a new one???? Please Help!!
Thanks much, Malteezgrl

I really messed things up. Changed username and now everything is gone.

You know when you open the finder and you have a list of icons in the sidebar there? I had Desktop, ted (with a little house next to it), Applications, Documents, etc...
I wanted to change "ted" to say "Main". I did this. I now realize that it was a huge mistake. Everything is gone - all my bookmarks, everything. I keep getting an error about not having a "keychain" as well. My firefox doesn't work at all. I don't know what to do - it won't let me change it back to "ted". I'm just sitting here in tears.
Is there a way to go back?

Great sleuthing on your part!
And a warm welcome to the forums Carrie... keep up the good work.

Downloaded Itunes 8.0 and now everything is gone

I downloaded the new 8.0 and when I went to listen to a song everything was gone. All of my songs, tv shows, games, etc... were gone. How do I get it back?

See if the steps in this article provide any relief:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
If you're still missing your songs, see if you can restore from a backup if you have one. If you don't have a backup, you might be able to recover the items from an iPod or iPhone if you have one.
- See this document for recovering purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
- See this post for software to recover non-iTunes store purchases: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8209921&#8209921
If you never created a backup of your items, and you don't have them on an iPod or iPhone, you can email iTunes Store customer service and ask to download the items again. Bear in mind that the iTunes user agreement entitles you to one download per purchase, so, for future reference, it's your responsibility to backup your purchases, as they do have value.

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing. How do I get it back?

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone. How do I get the icons back and start over?

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

connect your iPhone to your computer with a usb cable
open iTunes
go to Storage
find the "Restore" button

G5, updated software and now it won't start up past the grey apple screen

Hello,
I'm in dyer need of help. I just purchased an old G5 from a friend and when I connected it the internet it said there were a few (7 or 8) updates available for the system. There was very minimal memory left on the system but I proceeded with the updates, it said the system was going to restart after the updates. The grey screen appeared with the apple logo and the circular loading graphic but right after that the screen went blank and now each time I try to start the computer up it does the same and shuts down after that screen displays.
Is there anything I can do?

I'm not able to do that without the proper install disc, am I correct?
Correct.
Is it possible for me to use that or am I in the same boat without the proper install disc?
Correct, you need an Install Disc.
Or will it try to install on my iMac?
Disconnect them to be sure.
Sooo, what is this Install Disc you're talking about? The iMac's Gray Disc? That won't work for the G5.
There's still a chance of repairing the HD, Your best bet is DiskWarrior.

HELP! Changed shortname of home folder on Mtn. Lion and now everything is "gone"

Hello all,
Last night I was trying to boot up a brand new MacBook Pro using the latest update from my external drive used for Time Machine backups. It worked great... and then I decided to follow Apple's instructions on changing the shortname (via using a command on Terminal) of my user account because I got married 6 months ago and wanted to change my name. Now, unfortunately when I sign in on either the new administrative account I had to create to do that OR the original account, I can't access any of my files. So then I attempted to restore the new computer from my Time Machine backup again to just wipe it clean and redo it. However, my Time Machine now says my latest back up is 8 days old and it won't find the backup I just did from my OLD MacBook last night prior to trying to boot the new computer from it. I didn't want to try to figure out what was missing, so I decided to use Migration Assistant over WiFi instead, but that is going to take an additional 7 1/2 hours even from letting it run for the last 7 hours last night.
SO... is there any way to stop Migration Assistant and just FIND the files that are "hiding" from me since I changed the shortname and now can't find my files? AND, if I continue with Migration Assistant, is it going to create duplicates of all my files?
UGH... HELP!!!!
-Katie

Well... I fixed it by using Migration Assistant over WiFi (which took oh, 14 hours or so). Once my computer had received all the data from the old one (for the second time), I was able to locate the home folder I renamed and delete all of that data so it wasn't clogging up my computer. Was I thrilled to wait nearly 24 hours after receiving my brand new computer to use it? No. But, at least it all works.

Updated software and now everything is GONE!
