I am totally shocked.
I literally donnt know what happened.
The powerbook was on my table, i didnt even moved it since last night , when everything was ok, but now everything gone....
the softwares were all auto updated couple of days back and the software running is 10.4.7 tiger.
interestingly when i checked the updater, it says no new updates are available,
also, when i checked the HDD space, it was 93 gb total, and 18 gb free which was possibly the hdd space left with me before this possible crash.
I donnt know whats happening here,please ghelp me out of this.
I just want to go back to the stage where i was yesterday night
can anybody help me on this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
firstly, i must thank you for reminding me to backup my data as i had never done that except for the photographs i click( take back up on external drive) as me being a photographer.
now the issur.....
i went to macintosh hd > Library > and in that there is a folder , " ashishbahl" which being the name of my powerbook admin .
now the size of that folder is showing as 59.9 Gb.
in that "ashishbahl" folder i am seeing a desktop folder which has all the files which were there on my desktop before this ctrash.
now i am just not able to figure out how all this happened and now that i have located this folder , how to restore my system.
thanks
Ashish

    I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone.  That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
    Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
    You can check compatibility of your apps here:

  • I lost every thing on my mac can i transfer my music off my iphone4 to my mac?

    i lost every thing on my mac how can i transfer my music off my iphone4 to my mac & ipad2

    You can transfer music (or apps, video, etc.) you purchased in the iTunes Store from your iOS devices back to iTunes. See the following knowledge base article for instructions.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Transferring music that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store back to a computer is not supported by Apple, however, there are several third party applications to accomplish this. Although it is dated, see this 2008 article from iLounge.com for more information:

  • Itunes restarted after computer update and lost every thing

    Hello,
    I recently updated my computer ( macbook with a mac os x 10.5.8 ) . one of the updates was for the itunes.
    after i restarted every thing somthing went wrong with my itunes and now it looks like i have itunes 8 .
    all my playlists are gone and all my iphone data is gone as well. i can not conect my iphone to itunes ( it doesnt recognize it at all ) and i can't conect itunes to the internet for some reson.
    please help !
    Dan

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device
    Transfer any purchases from the device that were not already downloaded into your new library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • I updated to 7.1.1 and lost every thing.

    I updated my phone to the latest software and when I went to check if it had finished updating it asked me to connect to iTunes. I updated iTunes to the newest software too and then connected my phone. My phone stayed on the connect to iTunes screen and then it said I had to restore my iPhone because it was in recovery mode and I can't use my phone at all and I don't really want to restore my phone as I will lose everything as I haven't synced my iPhone for a while so I wont be able to get all data back.

  • HT1766 can i back up my ipad if the host computer has lost every thing?

    Can I back up my ipad if the host computer has lost its operating system and the was re-instald?

    Yes, this would be like syncing to a new computer. So, some precautions are required or you might lose what's currently on the iPad.
    iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

  • Windows 7 tells me that my windows is not genuine and the problem is Firefox. I did a total install and lost every thing and it worked fine for a month and it did it again.

    At windows start up it tells me that this copy of window is not genuine and as get into window a message pops up telling that fine the solution qlick here and this tells me is firefox and the steps I need to take. But nothing works even taking the cumputer to an earlier date through system recovery.

    You need to have the original serial number from the first time.  If you purchased it thru a school program/discount then you should check with the school to see if they still have some way of assisting you.

  • My friend used my computer to update her ipod touch and down it's reset it's self and she's lost every thing

    it updated alright but we got an error message at the end when it was backing it up, I should add she had never connected her ipod touch to my mac before

    On your computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup of her iPod is listed. If so restore from backup
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If she has an iCloud bckup restre from that backup . The link above covers that.

  • Activity types-- urgent help

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    I need urgent help. Every production cost center has two activities labor minutes and machine minutes which have been provided by the PP guy in routing. I have defined the two activity types and have assigned planned price to them in KP26 for each cost center.
    But the planned cost of the production order is not coming when ever an order is saved. It is taking the material cost but not the planned activity cost or not showing up.
    Please tell me what have I done wrong.
    I will assign points immediately.
    Thanks,
    Elizaa

    This is the error that I am getting:
    No activity planning
    Message no. KP 209
    Diagnosis
    No activity quantities are planned in controlling area AMAD for fiscal year 2008, version 0 and the objects you have specified.
    System Response
    The SAP System cannot calculate a price if no activity quantity exists. The iterative price calculation cannot therefore be processed.
    Procedure
    Plan activity quantities and activity input in controlling area AMAD.
    Someone please please help me.
    Regards,

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

  • Hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

  • Urgent help. I have upgraded my phone but every few hours the apple appears and stays for 15 min an hour or more?

    Urgent help. I have upgraded my phone but every few hours the apple appears and stays for 15 min an hour or more?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.
