Where did my stuff go?

I don't understand the prompts "replace" or "merge"...merge sounded safe so I chose it but somehow the only things that got saved to my new iPhone were contacts/messages from Oct 18...nothing after plus no music, ringtones or applications.
I am re-backing up my old iPhone (which I did right before I connected my new iPhone) but now it wants to replace all of my old stuff with nothing (from the new one)
Im sorry but I am confused an unhappy:(

called apple - complicated, had no idea the other options that were avail to me. however everything is happily restored onto my new phone and so far, so good.

HT4796 Where did the stuff go? New Mac user

I just got my mini, and used the transfer tool, from PCM to Mac ... Now where did all hat stuff ( documents from office, ect) go.... I use the find tool... Yes, I'm lost!

open finder, it is the Picasso looking icon in your dock on the far left side.
if you don't see a side bar, hit option+cmd+S to show the side bar.
assuming you put your documents in documents, go to the documents folder.
Finder is how you navigate your files.
Most apple stores have work shop classes to get you fully adjusted to your new computer and OS.
Maybe a hands on expereince is better for you.
in either case, welcome to the Mac family! I hope you enjoy your computer.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn. I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server. I downloaded them from here..

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
24 Sep 2014 21.3
I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run. the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go? They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ??? really? is this this basic stuff?
Where are the files? this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers!
Thanks!
Jason
UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

My iphone says I have 331 songs but only 139 can be played...where did the others go? How to get them back?

The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over? I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Where did free on iTunes go?

where did free on iTunes go?

This is an app from the app store to earn free stuff. Not the Free iTunes service that existed on iTunes. It may be a fine app, but hardly the same thing.

I have cropped a clip and now want to take other clips from the remaining footage. But the discarded footage which contains other desirable clips is not in Trash. So, where did it go so I can access it?

I have cropped a clip and now want to take other footage from the discarded remains of the clip. But the discarded footage is not in my iMovie trash. Where did it go? And how do I rescue it so I can edit the other short clips from it that I need?

I don't know how it did it (because I cannot duplicate the results) but one time the finder found a folder on my main hard drive called/Volumes Under that folder are folders called the names of previous external hard drives with numbers following them. /Volumes does not appear on my Mac hard drive. Obviously it is hidden somewhere. But it has content. Most of the time, the file names in that content don't show up in a search, but obviously I have found the content and deleted one huge folder of stuff it has saved. When I found the folder, I immediately opened it, where I found this stuff. But unfortunately when it opened in the search window I went directly to the "drive" folder and had no back arrow, so I couldn't get back to the search that found the content and the mystery /Volumes folder. The finder information window does show /Volumes directly off of the main drive (its not in any other folder). Anybody know where this stuff is hidden or how to get to it.

Where did they all go?

Ok when I first got my Ipod Nano a week before my birthday, mid November. My mom and I went to visit my Dad in Alabama. (I live in Texas) I got my Ipod Nano and I started working with the software on his computer. I got about thirteen songs. I come home, insert the software and the Nano and succesfully download ten more songs onto my Itunes Library. Now I'm ready to put on these ten new songs. So I disconnect and reconnect the Nano and it give me these little boxes of stuff that say that I'm unauthorized to play these songs on this computer. While my Nano is saying not to disconnect. So I just click ok. I get out of Itunes and all that, to the point that my Ipod no longer flashing "Do not disconnect." I look at my Ipod and those thirteen songs are GONE. Without a trace. So I restarted my computer and downloaded the ten songs. Now where did those thirteen songs go? How can I get them back? They aren't in my library. I just don't know. Any ideas would be helpful.

Several ways to 'merge' the two Libraries:
- Burn the 13 music files to a CD or DVD (even a floppy disk) and copy them into your PC
- Use a USB 'Flash' drive to copy over the songs
- Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains
- Network the two PCs and directly copy the files
- Sync the files to the iPod and use a recovery program to extract them from the iPod to your PC: See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1293794#1293794
The first two options would be the easiest. The others are there just for completeness and 'giggles'.
Shouldn't be too hard. Best of Luck

Where did my iLife apps go?

My Mini froze up, and nothing would fix it except for wiping the disk and reinstalling everything. Unfortunately my iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD apps are now gone (Along with a huge iPhoto library). I managed to recover my iTunes library from my video iPod with TinkerTool, but where did my iApps go? I've never paid for iLife because I had everything I wanted from the beginning (OS X 10.0). The disk I bought to reinstall everything was OS X 10.4 (Yes, I had to run Software update all day yesterday).
Am I going to have to shell out $79.00 just for iPhoto? I've never even opened iMovie, iDVD, or Garage Band (Only vaguely even know what most of them do, and Garage Band is a 100% mystery to me. Sounds like a useless, cheap, disk space hog to me).
Is there anyplace I can just get iPhoto without all of the other useless stuff?
I can't believe Apple would charge extra for something that is more useful than iTunes, and that I got free from the time it first came out.
TIA,
George Pepper BM MM

The version of iPhoto you own is the version that came with your system - it is on the original system restore disks that came with your computer and you should be able to install it from there - what OS and version of iPhoto came with your computer? click here for the MacWorld article on installing applications from your restore disks.
As to your purchasing iPhoto alone - no - it comes only as apart of new computers or as a part of iLife

Where did the thread go?

I created a thread recently about getting free Windows 2008 and other software from Microsoft but it has vanished! I'm perplexed, where did it go?
I don't think it was an illegal way to get access to the software since the website is supported and promoted by "Microsoft Developer Network" on campuses, and eligible students and administrators can download stuff from there only after proving their identities. I had bumped into it yesterday and came to know that my school was included and thought sharing it here would be beneficial to some needy students/admins who wish to run those software but don't have any financial mean to buy them.

Thank you for the explanation however I still fail to understand how was getting free software by being a student or an admin falls under the following rule:
"No commercial solicitation, other than advertisements placed by Lenovo. This is not intended as an online shopping or trading forum. Members may not post inventories of items, or list items for sale on a routine basis. "Wanted" posts (e.g., a member seeking a 701c system) are permitted on a one-off basis. Individuals may also post single Lenovo products, or directly related accessory items as "for sale" in the general discussion area. Posts for non Lenovo related products are not acceptable (so no cars, boats,planes, tennis rackets,MP3 players, for example). Discretion of forum administrators to remove an item is reserved in all instances."

the community participation rules prohibit commercial solicitation, and this is borderline since it promotes microsoft.
it's best to let microsoft promote their own products no matter how good the deal may be.
thanks for understanding.

Well, the subject clarified everything that needs to be clarified. In my opinion the post was neither a "for sale" ad nor was of any trading nature. Also, if you think it was promoting Microsoft then many computer companies advertise their (MS) products, in fact they get paid for doing so.
I'm not argumentative but next time I would think twice before posting something of beneficial nature!

I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

How do I print a mirror image? Where did the old functionality go?

Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
Where did this functionality go?

Found it!
Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks. One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
Where did the drivers go, HP?

This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

To my knowledge, the wish list has never been in the iTunes app. It certainly isn't now. You can comment to Apple here:

When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use. I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

When I open iPhoto it asks me to choose a photo library. I already have a libary with photos and events in it that I've been using for 2 years. Where did it go? What happened to all my photos

We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Backing up does not transfer your photos to your computer, if you don't want to enable photo stream, you will need to transfer your photos when your device is connected to your computer using iTunes.
