ForScore deleted files

I was deleting a piece of sheet music in ForScore, when the app froze. I force quit and then reopened to find that half my charts have disappeared (approximately 1600!!!) I plugged in my iPad to my Mac to recover them on there, but it automatically synced, so the only back up I have on there now, is with the missing charts. Is there another way to recover the music? I am a professional musician so the music is essential for me to work.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities for this issue, joannefrommirfield. I understand that your ForScore application froze while you deleting a piece of sheet music but you ended up losing a lot more than just that one after force-quitting that application. I'll do my best to help.

Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Find backups on your Mac

To find a list of your backups, click User uploaded file in the menu bar, then enter ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Or you can locate a specific backup:


  1. Open iTunes. Click iTunes in the menu bar, then choose Preferences.
  2. Click Devices.
  3. Control-click the backup that you want, then choose Show in Finder.

Locate iOS backups stored in iCloud

If you use iCloud Backup, you won't find a list of your backups on iCloud.com. Here's how to find your iCloud backups on your iOS device, Mac, or PC:

  • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings. Scroll down and tap iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage.

  • On your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
  • On your PC, open iCloud for Windows and click Storage.


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup -- If you locate a backup that predates the loss, here is the information about restoring backups to your iPad.


Take care!
