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.
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.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

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 renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.

What happened to music/playlists

I just did a restore from a back up. All of my apps, pictures, contacts, etc restored except my music! What happened to it? Please help!!!

Correct.
When syncing music, your selected playlists, genres, and artists under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes would be pre-selected when restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. When restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, all you need to do is reselect the playlists, artists, genres under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync to re-transfer your selected content, which is the same for all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. The reason all your apps were re-transferred automatically after restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup is because you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
When manually managing music and videos, you must manually select the music and videos you want re-transferred to your iPhone after restoring your iPhone with iTunes.
Since the iPhone doesn't support disk mode as with most iPods which doesn't allow for transferring selected iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on multiple computers, there isn't much benefit to manually managing music and videos with an iPhone.

What happened to my playlist and how can I recover them?

I never had a problem keeping the integrity of my playlist until this most recent upgrade, 11.0.2.26. The time before this most recent upgrade it also appeared to wipe out my extensive cache of smartlists and playlists, but I was able to find them after spending considerable time getting orientated to the new format. This, however, is very different. I see that not only am I not able to recover my smart/playlists, but when I sync my iPod, which I use to record lectures from my college courses, the tracks are not downloading either. I see no "voice memo" in the side bar like as before.
Apple, could you have warned us that such a significant change was to occur in order that we may have an opportunity to back up any remaining files to be done? I am not opposed to change, but would have liked to have been better informed as to the kinds of changes--especially significant changes-- and what it would the resulting affects mean to my current Library organization .
Please, help!

CS6 or Creative Cloud Reverts to Trial Mode
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html

HT3805 I have done all the above actions including several confirmations on the database itself. I am still unable to get aperture to boot. This was a worked yesterday gone today issue and now I am deeply concerned. Can anyone help further.

I am still not able to recovery Aperture and get it to open the library. I really need some help here on what is casuing the issue.
I never got a warning on the library or anything when I shut it down. One day later it won't open. I sent some pictures out via email and looked through one library. There was a warning panel that came up with a bunch of errors from the console APP. Nothing specific.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

What happened to the MMS topic from earlier today?

Isn't this a public forum for people to discuss stuff? The topic from earlier today is gone. Why did it get deleted? I think it's important for everyone to understand the importance of such basic cell phone functions...it might actually sway someone's purchase as they would just assume a phone of such perceived caliber would have such basic cell phone functions when in fact it lacks a lot of basic cell phone functions. I'm just assuming this will get deleted as well, because god forgive we actually discuss stuff that matters to consumers.

I had a post deleted yesterday. It wasnt offensive or anything. It went like this...
The discussion was about MMS, and a poster said.... "Why would you want to send MMS at a cost of $0.50 when you can just email?".
To which i replied... "So i guess you never send texts then? why would you want to send texts at 0.15p, when you can just email? the answer is convenience".
When i looked later the same day, my post had been deleted!!
Strange...

IPad Wifi worked yesterday, gone today

I've also had problems with my Wifi connecting. Like others, I've had to reload data, put in passwords repeatedly and after several hours the 1st day, it worked for about 6 hours. Today, it says I'm connected to my network, but no antenna bars shows anywhere, can't get email, etc.
Brand of Router: Netgear WGR614
Does it transmit a Wireless G or N signal or both? G only
Does your iPod Touch/iPhone/Macbook/PC etc connect fine to your router? My PC and all other computers connects fine. IPad does not.
Do you have a password on your Wifi connection? Yes.
If so, what type of encryption do you use? (WPA/WEP etc) WPA
If you disable the password does it fix the issue? NO
If so, do you still lose the wifi (in the top left) but then it reconnects?
WIFI never shows at top any longer although computer says I'm connected. Cannot access any email or internet.

I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

Hey!
I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
SIGHHH.

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

What happened to the finder sidebar menu?

I have had to spend sooooo much time trying to locate files that I just closed! What happened to the Finder menu that listed TODAY, PAST WEEK, etc? It's nervewracking! I don't want to open the files but upload them. I don't like that I can't just find them easilyl in the menu format before...... I'm not sure I like this so-called upgrade.... on the iphone it's cool, but on the MAC.. not so sure I like it.

Under your stuff, you can click on Profile and it'll show your equipment - you can change it there.
Now, as for the Finder Sidebar, if you go to Finder Preferences and click on Sidebar, it will show everything that can be shown there. Some changes were made in Lion - one of them is "all my files" - I don't need that, so I unchecked it, but you may want to try it to see if that can be useful for you. And, under the Go Menu, you can use Go To Folder. I never used any of the options you've used simply because I've never needed that. Maybe you can arrange/file your stuff by name so it'll be easier to find?

Interrupting Time Machine - what happens?

I hooked up my Drobo last night and designated it as my TM back-up drive. My Dual 2.5 G5 finished up fine. I also started TM on my MacBook through my Airport Extreme. This morning, my MB has 15GB of backup to do, and I need to go to work. What happens if I interrupt this backup? Will it pickup where I left off tonight, when I get home? What happens? Thanks!

I started TimeMachine today and backed up my iMac directly over firewire 800. Now we have been able to connect my husband's MacBookPro over the wireless and it is also backing up to a different partition on the same FW drive attached to the iMac. It is very slow, though.
My question is, I would like to interrupt the backup on the Book so I can connect it to an ethernet line so it will go faster. Will it start over from the beginning or pick up where it left off?

What happened to my iCloud documents? They were there yesterday but gone today.

I opened pages to get my school work and my iCloud folders were empty. The I signed into iCloud and when I clicked pages it said I had to sign up for iCloud Drive, which is only compatible with Yosemite.
I need my files. I saved them in the cloud for protection and now they are gone.
iMac 27-inch, mid 2011
2.7 GHz Intel Corei5
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

Monte, did you enable iCloud Drive on an iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS8? Or what happened?
In MacOSX 10.9.4 your Pages documents should be stored in your user Library folder. Click your Desktop to bring the Finder forward, then use the "Go" menu in the Finder. Hold down the options key (or alt key),while you select "GO", until you see "Library in the drop down menu. Open the "Library " folder.
In the Library window navigate to the folder "Application Support", and inside this folder to "MobileSync". Here you should find subfolder for "Pages" etc.
If the MobileSync folder should be missing, or you are seeing documents with "loading" bars, restore this folder from your Time Machine backup.

I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
