When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
cheers

Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally.  Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

  • I can't find the T.V. Shows in the iTunes Music Store where are they?

    Hi ,
    I downloaded iTunes 6 because it said they now have tv shows that you can buy for your ipod but when I clicked on the music store in iTunes I could not see any T.V. Shows where are they?
    Thanks for your help,

    Unfortunately the tv shows part of the itunes store isn't available in some countries. If, like me, you're from outside the US (I'm in Australia) chances are that the itunes tv show store isn't available to you yet.

  • Textedit preferences: where are they stored?

    I want to be able to copy Styles in TextEdit to new OSX's. I normally use iText Express instead of TextEdit (under OSX 10.6.8), and it's preferences were stored in an invisible file called .globalpreferences.plist inside the Preferences folder. Doesn't seem to be the case for OSX 10.8, so I've been playing around with TextEdit to see where it's style preferences are stored.
    The interesting thing is: I can delete all preferences that mention TextEdit or globalpreferences, and both TextEdit and iText Express still retain the new styles I set up.
    Does anyone know where the style preferences are stored?
    As an aid to tracking this down: when searching for modified files, how do I set a search for Last Modification Date to the last few minutes?

    Thanks Barney. Now some notes for my future reference (in case I forget how to do it) and for anyone else who wants to copy Style settings of iTextExpress (and I assume Text Edit) from one OSX to another.
    Under  OSX 10.6.8
    iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called .GlobalPreferences.plist. This file is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility.
    Once made visible it can be copied and archived, but it cannot be copied back because an invisible file cannot be replaced. To replace an existing version with an archived version, the existing version must first be deleted.
    Under  OSX 10.8.3
    iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist. The folder is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility. Once the folder is made visible, the preference file can be archived and copied to another OSX.
    The contents of .GlobalPreferences.plist and com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist seem to be interchangeable. I copied the contents of the first (from OSXC 10.6.8) and put them in the second (in OSX 10.8.3) and up came all the Styles.

  • PS CS5 preset sizes, where are they stored?

    I recently installed CS5 Extended and I have so many special sizes for images stored for versions in the past and would like to import these
    so I don't have to start from scratch. Does anyone know where they are stored in the programs?  I have 4 for mac and converted over to 5 extended for
    windows?

    He's talking about saved, named preset sizes in for example the File New dialog.
    I hadn't made any size presets up to now myself, but one can use a method like the following  to find files stored from the various Photoshop features:
    Save your preset or whatever with a unique name, not likely to be used for any other file.
    Search your system for a file with that unique name, or with that name in its content.
    Windows Search leaves a lot to be desired, so step 2 may not straightforward, but it can be done.
    I have already found that the presets aren't stored in separate, discrete files.  Now I'm doing a content search and will report back here if I find where the presets are stored.

  • HT201077 I am a new iphone 5 user and set it up to use icloud to store pictures, etc. I set up my home computer afterwards, but only some pictures are on the icloud. How do I view the rest of my pictures on my  home computer? Where are they stored?

    Only some of my pictures are on iCloud that are currently stored on my phone. Where are the others? Why aren't all the pictures from my iPhone showing in the iCloud? I can't find the pictures I saved from my ipodtouch, either....

  • Photo files - where are they?

    I'm a new mac user, and trying to point my cloud service (Wuala) at the folder holding my photos (to backup and have access to on other computers), but it seems that I can only direct it to iPhoto, which uploads a whole host of files, none of which look like .jpegs or otherwise regular photos (though thumbnails from recent photos - those taken since I've switched to mac - show up).  Grateful any assistance in figuring out how to solve this issue.

    Ben Furusta
    The supported way to access the photos is via Media Browser or by exporting. Sending inexperienced users into the Library Package is to risk dataloss.
    Exporting, using the File -> Export command, allows the user to export to a folder tree of their design, rather that letting them face masses of somewhat crypically named folders.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    The "hidden file system" you refer to is a way of protecting the data from inexperienced users mucking about. It make no difference whatever to the runningof the app, and you can actually choose not to use one.

  • WAS http workload and performance log files - where are they?

    Hi,
    Were can the http "log files" be found for WebAS?  We are looking for the workload and performance data comparable to what is found in the IIS logs or W3C logs for other classes of web servers.  We want to load this data into BW Business content area 0WEB and or third party tools (Web Trends) for analysis of statistics like number of hits per web page, duration of web site visit...
    Thanks, in advance, for your guidance.
    Janet H.

    Hi Janet,
    if you go down to a directory something like: C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\admin\logviewer-standalone. There you can find the standalone logviewer. Opening this one  under serverxx/system/httpaccess you should find a file called responses.trc. This includes the messages. The fiel is in anequivalent structure under the server.
    Regards,
    Benny

  • Lost contacts after reinstalli​ng - where are they stored on a mac

    My mac book pro crashed on me, so I reinstalled OS 10.5.8. I had all my files backed on an external harddrive, but now my palm desktop(palm 505 - software version 4.2.1) is empty, and my palm handheld is also empty. Where can I find all my contacts on my mac? hope someone can please help me!!!
    thanks in advance!!
    Post relates to: Palm V

    thanks for that info - I didn't know that about finding the library in 10.8 (obviously) -- and I was able to find the library and navigate my way to my catalog -- it looks like it's fine - in fact I was able to run the catalog manage, repair, optimize etc and it says everything is fine - however when I restart PSE and the organizer, my photos are still all missing from the albums.
    too late now, but tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can find that catalog in yesterday's time machine back up -- do you know if that's possible?
    I'm not really sure what happened - because when I started out today, things seemed to be working fine - it wasn't until I tried to add a new album that I discovered the issue with the missing photos.
    truthfully I don't care about the albums - they would be easy to reconstruct -- but I'd like to be able to delete the names of them and start again - but I can't seem to find info on how to do that.  the book I have doesn't give that basic kind of info - more info on using the tools to be creative.
    thanks so much for your help - you're very knowledgeable about PSE!!! and Mountain Lion which I've only been using for a few months.
    cheers, Lynne

  • Why don't I see shapes (created with my iPhone 5s) in creative cloud (for iOS) and used space in CC is 0 MB? Where are they stored?

    I installed Adobe Shape on my iPhone (iOS 8) and don't see, where the shapes are saved.
    In CC app for iOS there are no files (and used space in CC is 0 Mb). And I don't see my shapes in your other your apps (for iOS: Ideas, Photoshop Mix).
    How can I export shapes to any files storages?

    The CC app for iOS does not currently show assets in CC Libraries.  The app only shows assets in folders.  Check out this thread for details on how to get your shapes.
    How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.  Any ideas?

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.
