Why have my screenshots disappeared?
I tried under Go and Desktop and no screenshots at all when I press Comm-Shift-3 ever go to the desktop (or anywhere as far as Spotlight can find)
Dropbox is actually nothing to do with Apple, it's a third-party program that allows you to backup, sync and share files in your Dropbox folder.
If you do have it installed, and it's set up correctly, the screenshot files may well be in your Dropbox (open Finder, go to your home folder, and go to the Dropbox subfolder), in a folder called Screenshots. Dropbox is also usually added as a shortcut in your sidebar.
Dropbox installs a menubar icon, it looks like a blue package (and may have a green check mark or spinning arrows to indicate it's syncing). You can click the icon, click the gear icon in the lower right corner of the dropdown panel, and click Preferences - then go to the Import tab, and uncheck "Share screenshots using Dropbox" to revert the screen shot location to the Desktop.
If you have installed Dropbox but never used it, that would explain why you don't have an account set up for it. It doesn't explain where your screenshot files are, though. You may have to reset your preference file to the default Desktop. In the article below, you'll need to enter "~/Desktop" in the Terminal command as the preferred location for the files.

Why have my notes disappeared?
Just for a little expansion of DonGuerneville advice. To turn NOTES off as he states:
1) Go to SETTINGS
2) go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Under account to the top right of your screen, go to EACH account listed here.
4) you will get a pop-up window which will list the following:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Notes
Next to each entry is an on/off switch. Here is where you turn OFF the Notes.
If you do NOT do it for all Accounts listed they most likely will disappear into the accounts that were NOT turned off.
One last point. When my Notes first disappeared the first place I looked into was my Yahoo Account and they were NOT there. Three weeks LATER is when they first appeared. Why they delay, that is the new mystery.... -

Why have my contacts disappeared?
I've got an iPhone 4s running OS 7.0.6. Today my contacts disappeared. I have always had my iCloud backup enabled and I've used it to restore on previous occasions, but when I went to the settings it was disabled. Is there any reasone why this would happen? Is there anything I can do to restore the contacts? I'm trying to upgrade my iTunes to see if I can restore from there, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any advice on what I can do.
Thanks
JaneHello,
When I went to iCloud to restore the deleted contact it had been turned off (I'm sure it was on). I deleted the iCloud account and added it again. When I synced the contacts were still lost. I turned on and off the contact back up 4 times and on the last time the contacts reappeared. The favourites list is still not correct but at least the contacts are back.
I'm a little freaked out by this as I thought I could count on iCloud and Apple to keep my info safe. Still at least I recovered most of the data.

Why have my contacts disappeared and been replaced with some Facebook friend names?
A few days ago, all of my contacts disappeared and were replaced by the names of SOME of my Facebook friends. None of these have any telephone contact information, it's all email addresses associated with those Facebook friends. For instance, my husband's name, emails and phone numbers were all deleted from my contacts - help!
Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

Why have all playlists disappeared?
Loved the idea of itunes match and signed up a year ago, and got a few good months of usage for my $25. Several issues today: 1) iphone 4 & ipad 2: reloads itunes match everytime i go to select a song, then repeats this loop with each new selection; 2) will not work on Apple tv; 3) Playlists have disappeared in the ether between itunes, icloud, and then to the devices. What to do?
I have over 12,000 songs -- is there a limit on match?iMac 27" i7, Mac OS X (10.6.6) < hopefully your profile is just outdated. iCloud requirements are for v10.7.4 or later
Try resetting ...
On iOS devices tap Settings > ICloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Calendars then reselect it.
Give iCloud a minute or two to re sync the data. -
Why have my albums disappeared?
I have about 8 Albums defined; all of a sudden they disappeared. How do I get them to display again? I'm using APE 8.
They (the albums) are back. During the time they were not visible, an album I was adding many images to was not reflecting the additions in my online presence (bclayshannon.photoshop.com). It showed 3 images when it should have really had 17. This is probably just because it was taking a long time to transfer the images from my machine to Adobe's server[s]. But the fact that my albums seemed to disappear altogether on my machine is rather odd. The best guess I have is that I was adding pictures too fast to the album for APE to keep up -- due to my sketchy amount of RAM (896 MB), it threw up its virtual hands and temporarily "gave up the ghost."

Why have my messages disappeared
It appears that in the past days, all of my messages except for about 3 have disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?
Check in the Archive folder to see if the messages were moved from Inbox to Archive.
Search in Mail > All to see if you can find a recent message.
If you have determined that the messages no longer exist, please provide the following.
What type of account(s)? (POP, IMAP, Exchange)
What email provider? (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, ATT, other)
If other please identity provider.
Have you checked online to see if the messages are still on the server?
Do you have Time Machine backup? -
Why have my videos disappeared?
Since moving into IOS5 on my iPad1, I've noticed two changes. First, "Sync In Progress" is no longer displayed during sync. I have no idea whether this is significant or unexpected. Second, I have four short videos selected in iTunes (under the tab "Movies") but when I launch "Videos" on the tablet none are there. What happened?
Not seeing "Sync in Progress" is normal and expected behavior now. You will see a little spinning double circle arrow thingy in the upper left corner of the iPad screen by the WiFi indicator when the iPad syncs.
Do a search for the videos. Go to your home screen and swipe to the right. Type in the name of one of the videos in the white search field at the top. If it appears in the search - tap on it and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a minute or two and then hit the done button. Go to the videos app and see if the movies appear now. -

I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?
Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads. -
Why have my iTunes playlists on my iPhone disappeared?
Why have my iTunes playlists on my iPhone disappeared even though they appear when I connect the phone to iTunes on my laptop? I do not seem to be able to retrieve or reinstall them. I normally manage my music manually. Even recent CDs I imported which are showing up on iTunes on the laptop are not appearing on the iPhone. What am I doing wrong? I'm using the most recent versions of iTunes and OS software on laptop and iPhone.
Hello Janeburows,
You might have setup your iTunes in such a way that you store your Media files on your External Hard Drive and if that is the situation then whenever you delete anything permanently from your iTunes on your Computer when the External Drive is connected then the Content will get deleted from your External Hard Drive. To verify the Location for the Media files which you have on iTunes do the following.
Open iTunes > Preferences> Advanced and you will see it under iTunes Media Folder Location

Thanks for the help. However, I am afraid that this didn't change the problem.
I replaced the "iTunes Library.itl" file and still my playlists are gone.
