Why did all my mail disappear on my ipad 2

When I went to check my email on my ipad the mail icon had no numbers on it and when I clicked on it I got the page to set up accounts. So I did a reset by holding sleep and power buttons and that worked and now I see all my emails from my two accounts. But I was just wondering what could have caused them to disappear?

Are you by chance using a POP account, as opposed to IMAP? If so, note that Apple regrettably doesn't preserve saved mail retrieved from a POP account through major iOS version upgrades. I lost several dozen emails myself. Fortunately many of them were also retrieved on my Mac, so I can re-forward them back to myself.

Why did all my playlists disappear?

I don't "turn on" my iTunes on a daily/regular basis, but when I launched it today, all of my playlists were gone. Was there an update that did this? Is there a simple command to return all my playlists? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~p.s. I also noticed that the list of apps I have that are usually displayed on my iTunes are also gone except for a handful I downloaded within the last couple of weeks. Thanks again.

If I understand you right, none of the files I had that were in the 'Playlist' are in the 'Library' either. As far as I can recall, all the files would be under 'Playlist' and not under 'Library'. Whenever I would copy a file from an audio CD, I would move/copy them from 'Recently Added' into a (renamed) 'New Playlist'. Before, when I would first launch iTunes, all my playlist folderss would appear immediately under 'Playlists'. Now, none of the playlist folders are around (nor any of the files that were in the folders). I don't see any of those files/entries under 'Library' as well in the main startup window. Sorry if I'm being redundant but I hope that helps. Thanks for your help.

Why did all my pictures disappear? How can I get them back?

Every picture in my library disappeared how can I get them back?

That is very unfortunate and a very poor decision - with no backup you are guaranteed to lose your photos sooner or later - this might be the time - for any possible help you will have to provide details
What version of iPhoto> Of the OS? what has recently changed? what do you think might have caused this? What exactly leads you to believe that your pictures have disappeared?
And I strongly recommend that you purchase a hard drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of our main drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and start running TimeMachine ASAP

All my mail disappeared from my folders!

Help! I am running Mail 1.2.5 on Mac OS 10.2.8. I was trying to setup a new earthlink POP account for my wife. I noticed that the socket number that earthlink gave me to use was different from what I had on my account settings. So I went in and changed it for my account. As soon as I did, all my mail disappeared from my inbox and sent. I checked my inbox.mbox file and all its contents are new and created at the same time I lost all my mail. Does anyone know ANY way to get my mail back? It's stuff that's no longer on the server. I just assumed once this stuff was in my inbox, it wasn't going to go anywhere until I deleted it. I didn't think changing one setting in my account was going to wipe anything out.

Hey hpr3
That did help reveal some boxes I don't use thanks for the tip, but I used to have a bunch of sub accounts that I created to sort my emails into manageable groups and these have disappeared. ANy ideas that? Regards

Why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

As a rule syncing is one way, from the library to the device. There should have been a warning that media content on the device would be removed and replaced with that in the local library. If the content were still on the device it could be recovered with the steps in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can redownload your qualifying past purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon store, etc. Do you have the previous computer your device synced with, or a backup, from which the library could be recovered?

HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok.
The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items. If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos).
If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections. Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
And if you have not already got it

Why did all contacts disappear when I turned on iCloud?

Yesterday I turned on iCloud for my contact info, and when I tried to access my contacts some hours later, discovered that all my contacts disappeared from my iPhone4.
When I turned off iCloud for my contacts (iCloud is still on for other stuff) my contacts immediately reappeared.
What gives?

Thanks for the advice, but after this and other hassles, I've decided to not use iCloud in any way. I'm sticking with the old way of syncing my iphone via the cable and iTunes as well. Suits me just fine.
Other than not providing a detailed manual on iOS5 in general, and iCloud in particular, I'm not blaming Apple here. I used to be on top of my Mac and Apple devices, but somewhere along the road I got left behind, and I just don't have the time anymore to catch up, especially when that means doing so by trial and error.
I'm still an avid fanboy of my Apple computer, iPhone and recently Apple TV. I'm sure iCloud is wonderful, but having never successfully used it, I don't miss it.
Thanks again.

Why does my mail disappear on both iPad and iPhone4... only sometimes. It's not in the trash so where does it go and why?

Why do I lose mail from my iPhone4 and recently from my iPad2? It happens infrequently, but when it does the messages completely disappear from my device(s); the messages are not in my trash.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist". Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this. Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH. I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover. I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

Why did all my apps update when I have automatic updates turned off?

Settings/iTunes & App Stores/Automatic Downloads
Music
Apps
Documents
I have them all turned OFF so that I can manually update my apps when I choose to.
Yesterday there were 11 updates left after I had finished updating the apps I use most often.
Today, it says ALL my apps are up to date?!
So, did Apple force a bulk update on me despite my having turned everything OFF? Or did all my updates just suddenly disappear overnight???
I will be VERY angry if I find out that my apps can be forcibly updated without my say so!
If so, how can I prevent this from happening again? If not, same question?

It seems to be a common problem.

Why did all of my dashes "-" change to "&ndash" after my client made in browser edits and I accepted

I created a site in Muse. Published out to Business Catalyst and all was good. My client made several hundered edits from the Biz Cat dashboard. They then asked me to make some more substantial edits to the design so when I opened Muse, I accepted the edits they had made. On each page there is a column for Customer quotes. Each quote is signed of with a name.... such as "- Judy Miller." I noticed, after accepting the inbrowser eidts that all dahses before the names now had "&ndash Judy Miller." I tested in preview and sure enough, it was there still. So I then did a preview in browser forcing the page to load through the server and unfortunately the &ndash was still in front of the name. So I opened my browser and pulled up the site to make sure it still had the correct dash and it did as I had not published from Muse since accepting the inbrowser edits.
Why did that happen?
How can I prevent it from happening in the future?
Right now I am stuck in limbo as I can not publish out in fear of populating the site with dash replacements. I can go in and change everyone and then make the changes I was supoosed to make for the client but who is to say it won't happen again and again?
Thanks for any info you can shed on this. I have been on chat support for over an hour now and still have not gotten a hold of a support agent at Adobe. That clearly sucks and they should employ more people to handle the problems when they occur.
Wes

Hi Wes,
You've encountered a bug that has been reported by at least one other user, but one that we haven't been able to reproduce internally. To help us investigate this, could you determine which browser/platform (inlcuding versions) you client had used to make the edits?
Also, if you could send your Muse file to [email protected] (with a link to this forum post), I can look at fixing it, reverting all "&ndash" instances to "–". Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Abhishek

I reset my iPad, why did my photo stream disappear?

We set my iPad up with my mother's apple I.d. Then reset it to link it to mine instead. Why did my photos taken with it, that were supposed to be on photo stream disappear? :-(

Let's see if I get this right... You had the ipad connected to icloud using some ID. Then you reset it and now have the device connected to your icloud ID, but the photos on the photo stream under your icloud account are not there. Right?
The answer may be a time factor.
While photos in a device's photo stream album remain, the photos in the photo stream server in icloud remain for up to 30 days. So it could be that while the photos are on some other device of yours, they may not be in icloud's stream database any longer. That's why you may not be seeing them when you just turned on photo stream on the device.
But your photos may also be on your computer. It is always recommended that photos be synced to a computer just as you sync photos from a camera to a computer for storage.
