Mac Gurus... I need your help
 

In an effort to clean up some space on a mac I only use for music, I deleted the sparsebundle of the concerning user account. This account had thousands of paid itunes songs in it.

Now whenever I log in I get the message that I can't log in due to a FileVault error. Turns out the backups I made on my Time Capsule also didn't take. So I'm left with nothing.

Is there a way to get my data back?

Easiest way to get space in OSX is to delete all the language files you don't need.

You can re-download your paid iTunes songs when logging into your account.

I have tried this before, usually it just finds a few songs. Are you telling me it will let me re-download all my 1000+ songs?

yes and no - they will tell you on the phone that it is not really their problem .. just bitch enough and they will add all your bought items to your download que for you

just gotta bitch enough

that doesn't free up much space.

Yes they will let you re-download all of your songs. An old PC died which had over 100 itunes songs. When I got my new machine (a mac, woo!) I went to itunes, authorized it on my account, and was able to re-download everything without having to pay again.
