  • I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files". How could I back up all the photo? (time machine is turn off)

    I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files".
    actually I delete every thing in ALL MY FILES.
    How could I back up all the photo?
    and other data, such as movies and so on?
    Do I need to go to Apple store to back up?
    (time machine is turn off)

    If you don't have a back up then you'll need to use a file recovery app like File Salvage
    To back up iPhoto you make a copy of the Library on another disk.

  • When I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    when I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps?

    I would like to delete all Apps archived in the clouds of "purchased" and not in used now and in the future. How is possible to remove definitively these Apps. Thank you

    All you can do is hide them from your purchased list.  You cannot permaneently delete anything from your purchased history.
    Also, these are not stored in your iCloud account storage space.  The purchases reside in the online store and all you see is a list of those purchases made with your account, with a cloud-link to redownload them, but you are merely re-downloading them directly from the store.

  • I accidentally deleted all my contacts: please help?

    Somehow I deleted all my contacts in my Adress Book while researching sending a mass email. It has been deleted in iCloud as well. I plugged in my external disc to open a previous back up of "Contacts" in my app folder but it cannot be opened because my last backup preceded my upgrade to Mavericks so the last backed up "Contacts" can not open in Mavericks. Are my contacts held anywhere on my backup other than "Contacts" where I could get access to them. Since I haven't synched my iPhone 4 since the accidental deleation many of my contacts remain on it. Strangely some of the numbers remain without their corresponding names though if that makes any sense.

    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Contacts off then back on.

  • HT204150 I accidentally deleted my icloud contacts how do i get them back to icloud

    I wanted to delete some of my contacts from my daughters ipod touch and realized i was deleting contacts from the cloud list.  So that took them fromthe cloud.  if i have all the contacts on my iphone still, how do i get them back into the cloud list?

    Are you saying there are two icloud accounts involved?  Yours and your daughter's?  If so, you can't get contacts from your device to your daughter via icloud.
    If you both share the same icloud account (and I would caution you that this is not how icloud is designed to be used - each user should use their own account, otherwise you will both have all data such as email, contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders shared without being able to have personal data on one's own device), then deleting from an icloud database, like contacts, removes them from all devices associated with that account.  The only way to possibly get back the data is to perform a restore from a backup - assuming there are still any "older" backups, before the contacts were wiped.

  • How do I delete all my contacts at the same time?

    I want to delete all my contacts from my iphone 4s. I know how to delete them one at a time, but I want to know if there is a quicker way?

    On the iPhone I'm afraid you are not able. I would suggest you go to the address book you are syncing to on your computer and delete them there, then re-sync. It should delete them from your iPhone.

  • Can I delete all my contacts on the BB using Finder?

    I can sync everything except contacts on the DTM. For address book, I get the dreaded "KB19454" error. When it did sync, it repeated only one name 156 times.
    I've found a work around using google contacts and google sync, which has gotten other people's numbers onto my phone, but I can't get that one person off. I'd like to just delete the contacts file on the BB using finder and start over with google sync. Anyone know how to do that? 

    Great tip on typing "rset" to deleted your BB contacts.  My issue is that I duplicated contacts after syncing my Curve with the BB Desktop Manager for Mac.  On my Curve, I have 2 address books on my BB.  Using the desktop manager, I deleted all my contacts.  I then did the "rset' on my BB for good measure.  So my BB now shows 2 address books that are both empty.  And if I open up either 1 then it shows as empty, too.    However, if I show "all address books" then I have all the contacts still there.
    How do I get rid of them?  I've already deleted them manually twice and am tired of doing that for 900+ contacts.
    Any way I can delete these contacts on my BB that the desktop manager doesn't see?

    Check for previous backups in iTunes. Use iPhone Backup Extractor and extract contacts from iTunes backup if they exist.

  • How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

    I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
    After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
    What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
    Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

    Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
    Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
    Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

  • My kids deleted all my contacts except the 3 most recent.  Anyway to get them back??

    Somehow my kids managed to delete all of my contacts except the 3 most recent ones.  I am pretty sure they didn't go into each one and deleted them since there were more than 100.  And I have no idea how only the 3 most recently added ones were kept (my kids can't read yet and the names are not alphabetical).  I have an iPod Touch.  I do not use a mac.  I have synced it and tried to restore it to no avail.  Where could they have gone? 
    The only thing that I found was they placed a picture in one of the contacts that they made on the Elmo Monster Maker app. 
    Thanks!!  Really don't want to input them all again. 
    Also - if I end up having to enter them all again, can someone tell me how to back them up or protect them so they cannot be altered?

    I was going to tell you to connect your iPod to your PC and restore from your latest backup.  iTunes will make a backup of your device before each sync, so your backup would be as recent as your previous backup.  The problem with that is that you've over-written your good backup by performing several sync's before posting here.  Now it looks like you probably get to re-enter your contacts manually, or restore your PC from it's most recent backup...

  • Updating to IOS 5.0.1 deleted all my contacts and calender - twice! - help

    So Sunday evening my iphone was connected to my home wi-fi and a message popped up asking if i wanted to update to iOS 5.0.1 So i clicked and it installed and everything was fine.
    I woke up on monday morning and every single one of my 70+ contacts had been deleted. I then waited until I got home from work before I plugged my iphone into itunes as I thought my contacts on icloud would then be added to the phone but I checked icloud and my contacts we deleted from there as well?
    So I then added around 15 of my main contacts back into the phone last night and up until around an hour ago 13:00GMT all of them were still in my phone.
    But now they are all deleted again even though I havnt connected to a wi-fi network or plugged my ipod into a computer!
    Someone please help me - no idea what to do!

    iOS 8.0.1 was not ready for prime-time, unfortunately.  Follow these directions and roll back to iOS 8:  http://mashable.com/2014/09/24/how-to-downgrade-ios-8-0-1/

  • MY IPHONE DELETED ALL MY CONTACTS - AT THE STROKE OF NEW YEAR

    2012, end of the world?
    Last night, New Year's eve, at midnight, my iPhone deleted ALL of my contacts. That was nearly 5000 contacts! I don't use MobileMe as far as I'm aware, and I don't want to sync to my computer lest it deletes all contacts from there too. How do I restore my contacts??!!

    It will COMPLETELY restore everything to how it was the instant you backed up. However, you can back up your current state on your iPhone, restore from the previous backup, get the contacts, sync with iCloud, then restore from the latest backup to have your contacts AND diary entries.
    This post shows that you are using iOS 4.3.3. To use iCloud requires that you upgrade to iOS 5.0.

  • Synced phone for the first time, and all my contacts are gone. Please help

    I had to upgrade the iOS to 5. And all of the contacts are gone. Is there a way to recover them?

    How did you get the contacts loaded onto the iPhone in the first place?
    If you used iTunes that would imply the "source" of contacts was either on your computer (e.g. Outlook) or perhaps through a one-time upload from an e-mail service like GMail.  In either case, your contacts should (might) still be where they were when you originally put them onto your iPhone.
    If all your contacts were manually entered into the iPhone, then you're out of luck since they are not backed up, unless you set iCloud up to sync your contacts (in which case they'd still be in iCloud).
