Where is my iPod's camera roll backup, and how can I get it back onto iPod

I was having trouble with my iPod Touch 5 and the new update of iTunes, 12.0.1.26. I digress here but this is why I hate updating iTunes, and now kinda hate Apple stuff in general, because every time I've updated iTunes in the past it's given me trouble with my devices and syncing. But I'm not here to hate on Apple, I love my device, I just wish the software and workflow was more intuitive.
But on to my problem. I plugged in my iPod and opened the iTunes update. Bought some songs from the store, decided to rework my playlists, but when I try to sync them to my ipod, it doesn't show up. The playlists show up in my ipod within itunes, but i can't access them from my ipod because they aren't there. The songs I purchased from the store show up perfectly well, I just had to download them from the cloud. But my new lists with the songs uploaded from my computer won't work.
Long story short I finally got tired of this and restored my ipod. Mostly because I couldn't find anyone else on here with the same problem and didn't want to take the time to ask. Looking back, that might've been a better idea.
I have restored the backup and I have all my old apps, and I have my new playlists. All I'm missing is my photo roll, which I don't understand why it wasn't restored along with all my apps.
I am wondering if this is possible because there were many pictures on there that have special meaning to me.
Thank you!

- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

I have been purchasing songs on itunes for a year. I just got a new computer and I synched my iphone to it. I had over 100 songs, now I have only 10. Where did my music go and how can I get it back?

I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad if a movie listing does not show then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
Or launch the Video App and look for them there
if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
Hope this helps

I no longer have any albums on ipad - where have they gone and how can I get them back.

I have "lost" my photo albums on the ipad. They were they and now they are gone. How can I get them back.
I have gone to choose albums to share and ticked the boxes and then "sync" and when I press the photos icon
on the ipad there is just a blank screen in the landscape position. HELP !!!

Albums are logical entries in the iPhoto database - you need to restore fromyour backup to get them back

I cant find iChat anymore on my iPod touch what happened and how can I get it back?

I just got a new iPod touch and I can't find iChat. I am not sure if it is the generation (4th) but it should come automatically. I also know somebody who has a 3rd generation iPod. What happened and how can I get it?

iOS 5 comes with the Messaging app. You can text with that. It is not called iChat, it is called Messages

HT203167 im missing a lot of music where did it go? and how can i get it back

im missing a lot of music where did it go and how do i bring it back on my library

No way for anyone here to know where it went, as you have provided no info about your issue.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos. They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline." Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

How can I get all my images to show in my photo library? When playing a slide show some of my photos have a message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original is offline."

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Had to reset computer and my itunes is empty. have 7448 pictures on ipod. How can i get them back onto my computer and not delete them?

Desparate to know if I can get my photos which were synced onto my ipod classic.Now I have lost all the data from my computer and want to put the photos back onto computer. I know if it is synced it will delete everything. I have gone into itunes on my computer and ticked the box to prevent automatic syncing but I still am too nervous to connect up.

You'll need the help of 3rd party software to extract the photos from your iPod to your computer. Google will be your friend on this one. I can't recommend any particular ones.
Keep in mind that the photos on your iPod are no longer in full resolution, but instead are now scaled down versions created by iTunes during the sync process so that the resulting photo would be optimized for viewing on your iPod classic.

I'm using my iPod classic as hard drive to transfer the music to my reinstalled computer but the file "iTunes" is missing. Where is it and how can I get it back?

I had a virus on my Windows Vista PC so I had to reinstall the whole system. With this I also got an upgrade to Windows 7. Now I want to use the iPod classic to put the music back on the PC. According to the explanations on Apple support you have to drag the iTunes file on the iPod to the My Music file. Unfortunately there is no iTunes file on the iPod. It does work fine though and I can listen to all the music. I have to say that before I deleted the hard drive fro the PC I forgot to switch the iPod to manual sync. It was psooible though to do that with the new installed iTunes without erasing the music on the iPod. Can anybody help? I really wouldn't like to loose the countings and playlists.
Thank you

I lost my music after backup and restore. can i get it back

is it possible to get my music back after a backup and restore ? i lost all my music.

Is all your music in iTunes on your computer? If so with your device plugged in make sure the sync music box is checked.

My Bookmarks aren't working, even after following many troubleshooting recommendations, other than the one where I'd loose my, possibly already lost, bookmarks and how can I get them back?

I am on a iMac using Firefox 3.6.3, and my "Bookmarks" are not working properly after my last upgrade. When I go to "Organize Bookmarks" the boxes for name, tags, visit date, etc. are blank and the arrows are gray. Just in case my Bookmarks are hidden, I tried to restore them by going to the Library window. However Firefox did not ask me "to save the bookmark backup to a folder" on my hard drive as stated in your article "Restoring bookmark backups" 2.2.) Number 4 of the same article tells me how "to restore one of the listed backups" and when I tried this I was told Firefox is "unable to process the backup file." I also tried to go to "Choose File" from the Restore Menu (instead of automatic backup) and clicked on Applications and then Firefox just to see what would happen and was told applications is an "unsupported file type". Also, FYI Torbutton is not installed on my iMac. I don't want to "Create a new places database" without knowing that my Bookmarks are in fact backed up, especially since I received the above message. I was wondering if should uninstall the 3.6.3 and just go back to the 3.6.2. It seems that Firefox updates have a history of wreaking havoc on the older programs. Do you recommend waiting to update until I have gotten feed back as to problems it creates?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
