When i synced with my ipad all my photos in iphoto on my macbook disappeared. When I try to sync again, iphoto doesn't recognize the 1500 photos that are still on my ipad. How do I get them back onto my macbook?

When I synced my iPad2 with my MacBook Pro, all my photos in iPhoto disappeared on my MacBook but remained on the iPad. I want to get the back onto my MacBook, but when I connect the iPad, it doesn't recognize that the photos are there.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

3 albums of purchased music show on purchased list, but files are only on iphone. How can I get them back onto my computer?

I have at least 3 albums of music that appear in the "purchased" column on itunes, but the files have gone missing. I have the files on my iphone, and can listen to them on it, but when I try to play them on my Mac I get the message : The song “XXXX” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" but when I try to find the songs in my itunes library the files are not there. I have had to de- and reauthorize my computer to get the apple tv (1) to play old content, and wonder if in doing that, I have somehow wiped out old purchased song files. Is there a way to transfer these songs back onto my desktop Mac? The "transfer purchases from iphone" function doesn't do it, seemingly because the songs were all puchased via the desktop.

I have no need for it so cannot recommend directly but here are some programs

If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

TS1474 I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. All my purchased songs were replaced with what was on my computer which was nothing. How can i get them back onto my phone or computer?

Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

Updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back?

I just updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back? And how do I show the Apple Music and Weather app- I can find them in spotlight, but there isn't an app button for them.

Are you sure you don't see them when you swipe to the left?
I actually had only one icon showing on the second page .... and then all of the rest showed up on pages 3, 4, etc.
The Apple Music app is a red box with a white note
Weather app is a blue box with a white cloud and yellow sun
Did you try resetting or restarting the device?

You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

Hey Tfromon,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you have an app that seems to be stuck on “Waiting," and the following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3. How do I get them back without repurchasing?

I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased: Notes and Bejeweled 3. How do I get them back without paying for them again?

Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to. I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free. I will just buy Bejeweled again. I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game. But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

I lost all the icons at the bottom of individual emails on my iPhone. How do I get them back???

Open the mail app then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off thing appears. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
Also clear the mail app from multitasking bar too. Then open mail app and check again

Hi megamike1969,
I've been losing some apps also in the Dock. As Niel said I think is that you may be able to just drag them back to the Dock, if you can find them.
What I do is open Launchpad and while you're in there, drag the application to the Dock. If you can't locate the apps, then disregard this post.

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer.
