I need a little advice…

A few months ago, for some reason out of nowhere, my iTunes said it couldn’t find my library. So, inadvertently, I hit create new library. Now everything was gone. I attempted to import the library. I did and some of my playlists came back. However, not the ones I really wanted.

On top of that, all my apps were missing, all of my mail preferences, etc.

So here are my questions…

1. How can I get my apps back without losing data? I have documents and files, in some. I’m addicted to a couple of games and I don’t want to lose my data/records, etc.

2. Is there a way to keep my apps the way they are on my phone, because right now on iTunes, there is all 150+ of my apps on the screen ready to go to my iPhone.

3. Do I have to make a new playlist with a new name, or do I make a new playlist with the same name as the old ones and put all the same songs in again?

Please help me! Thanks.

I would just like to point out how much of a fool this guy is, just saying…. Because YOU CAN CHOOSE where your iTunes profile and listings are stored because YOU CAN CHOOSE where your user profile folder is stored. just saying

So my husband lost a years worth of photos with his last restore/backup-in theory these files would be in a previous backup because they were never lost before–would he be able to restore the phone using one of these backups to get the pictures back? And if so, how woud he do that?

MacBook Air is a netbook not a mobile computer (although it may be marketed by apple differently). No one but Apple would recommend it for multimedia libraries. Use your desktop for your itunes library and share it across your network – then use your Macbook Air as you would an iPod, iPad or other such portable device.

If you want a mobile computer, plan to spend three to four thousand dollars on a MacBook Pro or similar PC product (I sugest Lenovo)

My opinion as an Mac – not necessarily Apple – lover… iPod touch rules. iPone sucks. Android is a playground (free Angry birds too!)
