Why has my mac wiped everything off my account?

I was aiming to delete some accounts that were not needed and were taking up space. Without realising I started to remove the account with everything I use on it. After I clicked cancel, my account still remains but everything on it has been reset. My pictures, documents, itunes etc.
Does that mean they are permanently deleted? Is there any way I can get them back?

You should be able to restore everything from your most recent backup.

  • The update wiped everything off my phone.

    The update wiped everything off my phone. It was updating fine, and I came back to the dreadful "plug into itunes" symbol.
    Can someone please let me know why it did this? I updated to the iOS 7 without any problems like this. It's the iOS 7.0.2 that really effed me over.
    I am truly devastated. All the pictures of my family are lost because I didn't think that this would wipe out my phone. If I had known, I would have backed it up.

    No device in the world is perfect, and if those photos were so important,
    they SHOULD have been backed up in the first place, regardless of what
    device they were on.

  • I downloaded itunes to a new computer and it wiped everything off my ipod touch???

    I got a laptop because my tower computer was ruined except for my drivers. I installed itunes on the laptop and connected my ipod touch and it wiped everything off. I beleive the backup never finished before it erased everything. Is there any way to retrieve my music pics and such now that they are gone and do not even exist on the new laptop?????

    I they are not on your new computer they are gone.  If you can't get them from your old computer they are gone forever.
    You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer.  When you change libriares/computer iTunes will erase you iPoa\d and replace its contents with what is in the iTunes library of the hew computer.
    You can redownload app and maybe music.  from Itunes.  See:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    WHY DOES MY MAC BOOK PRO SHUT OFF ON ME?
    Not much to work with here...
    How about more info so a diagnosis and help can be formulated? Mac model (size), RAM, OS version, age, battery status? What are you doing when it happens? How often? And if you want to be really abundant, pertinent logfiles?

  • Why has my Mac re-arranged my Logic files?

    I wiped my Mac's hard drive the other day pending installation of Snow Leopard and re-installation of all my software. Having now installed the operating system, it seems all Logic project folders on external drives have somehow been re-arranged for me, so that each project version ('Project1.1.logic', 'Project 1.2.logic' etc - that's how I save my work) now has its own folder, and in each folder, instead of files with the above names, I've now got another folder for each saved project version called 'LgDoc', and three files in that which are called 'displayState', 'documentData', and 'windowImage'.
    I assume/hope this is normal and that everything will be as it normally is once I've re-installed Logic 9? Thanks for any advice.

    Yes. What you're seeing is the package contents of the Logic project file. Once you install Logic 9 and up date it to the current version the folder contents will be back to normal again.

  • Stopping itunes wiping everything off

    I had to recently install itunes and im planning on putting some more music on my ipod.However i previously wiped off all the music in my itunes libary because i needed the space.How can i connect my ipod without itunes wiping off all my music on my ipod?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    10tozover would be foolish to sell you the disc and it could be of no use to you whatsoever unless you check exactly which version of the iMac G4 10tozover has. For example the discs for a 700MHz iMac plain won't work on the later models.
    I'd advise you to contact the seller from your auction and ask them to send you the disc; it's of no use to them.
    Failing that simply purchase a brand new version on Mac OS X from Apple. It's going to be much more up-to-date and capable but won't include some of the free software that came with the iMac.

  • Why does iTunes match delete everything off my iPad memory every time I connect to pc?

    iTunes recently deleted all my music off my iPad so it was only available to stream, which is no use to me. I've just connected to my pc again and gone, just like that every song has that horrible little cloud next to it. I spent a full day last weekend downloading everything to the iPad memory, looks like I'll be doing it again tomorrow.

    Gavin,
    From what I understand the first time you connect your iPad it should wipe out all cloud based music but after that as you stream music ( which is not real streaming but download and play) it should then keep the music in case you want to replay it and only delete it to make room for any more music you download subsequently.
    If that isn't happening then it's probably a bug!
    Regards,

  • Why has my mac mails suddenly stopped sending email

    I have a new mac air--not even 6 months old.  My mac mail has had the same address for almost 10 years.  In the last year my mac mail will suddenly stop sending.  The last time I talked to mac support they said there was a definite problem and when the new update was installed with the fix, it would start working again--it did, a few weeks ago.   Today...it stopped sending again. WHY?

    How are you trying to read them? What process are you using and what applications are involved?

  • Bootcamp and WIndows have wiped everything off my HD!!!??

    HELP!!!!
    I was installing Windows XP professional onto my macbook last night (granted it was a copy of a friends original version) using the downloaded bootcamp program but half ways through it told me the disk required more information and to insert the required disk or to cancel.....I cancelled out of the opertation and restarted my macbook but to my horror it seems that the entire hardrive and MacOSX has been cleared as now when I start up I get a message on a black screen telling me that there is 'No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'........does this mean that I'm going to have to install macOSX onto the computer again and start from scratch,does anyone know of a way to fix this problem, or have I just successfully and irrepairably broken my macbook>??!?!!
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
    Mcbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    This seems to be a common problem when installing Bootcamp/Windows. If you don't select the correct partition, it will overwrite the OSX. I think you'll have to reinstall OSX. You might want to check the Bootcamp discussion to see if anyone has a way to recover the OSX partition.

  • Why has my mac book made a beeping sound?

    Beeps on startup:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images.
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • Why has my Mac mini become so slow?

    I realise this sounds like the oldest newbie question in the book, and could be down to any of a hundred things, but I'll try and explain as clearly as possible. (I've been using Windows for 15+ years, Macs for the last 2+, and I always associated Windows with this kind of gradually increasing lethargy.)
    In a word, it comes down to lag. Every operation which used to be instant when the Mac was new, now has a delay of anything from half a second to over 10 seconds. It feels like walking in mud. And it's always the first time I do something I haven't done for a few minutes -- if I repeat the same operation immediately afterwards, it's instant. Long delays are often (but not always) accompanied by the beachball -- which I see *a lot*.
    What sort of operations? Well, dropping down a menu, for example. Or changing volume. (Using the keyboard or Apple remote.) Or switching between open apps. It's not unusual for me to wait over 10 seconds for the computer to respond, for something as simple as a volume change. If I repeat it, it's instant. But if I wait a few minutes, or switch to a different app, the lag's there again.
    The mini is 2 years old. It's a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 512MB RAM, with wireless keyboard and mouse. About 2 months ago, I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, using the Archive & Erase method. It's permanently connected to an external 1TB firewire drive. I have MenuMeters installed, which rarely shows over 10% usage per CPU, including during the slowdowns. (If I'm ripping a DVD with Handbrake, it goes to 100%, so I'm not surprised if it's slightly unresponsive then.) In trying to speed things up, I've set MenuMeters to only display CPU, updating every 3 seconds, but it hasn't made a difference. I don't have a lot else installed on the mini -- it's mainly a media player. During a typical day it runs Firefox, Quicktime with Perian, DVD Player, Front Row, and iTunes. (iTunes is so sluggish I avoid using it when I can.) The only memory resident apps are Vine Server and Audioscrobbler.
    Does this sound familiar? Any suggestions? I'll supply a System Profile file if that'll help.

    Unlike most Windows PCs, Macs have always seemed to be a little fussy about RAM, so in the broadest sense, the answer to your question whether you can use any brand of RAM (compatible specs of course), is that no, you can't. Nor is it always possible to say what brands are suitable and which are not. Better, really, to buy RAM for Macs from suppliers who have a history of Mac support (thus are aware of compatibility issues) and who offer a lifetime, no quibble, warranty, such that if the RAM doesn't work, or fails in service later, it can be swapped out without any hassle or additional cost. Crucial.com (the link I provided previously) is one such.
    As far as fitting it, it is always better to have an approved service provider do it in that if there are any problems, they can be held accountable, and if there is any warranty cover, they will not risk voiding it. Each will charge a different amount for this kind of work however, so it's worth shopping around for prices for upgrading RAM - including the cost of the service provider also providing the RAM, since some can source compatible modules at wholesale.
