Since I joined iCloud, I have lost all my "Contact" list, i.e. all my telephone numbers. How can I recover them?

Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
And, do you have backup?

I have lost all of my changes -- How can I get them back?

I have made changes to many files in many folders. I have successfully moved several of those folders from my laptop to a USB external hard drive (as my laptop just cannot hold all photos).
This week, I purchased an installed a Network Attached Storage drive . . . and I copied all folders and photographs from my USB hard drive to the new networked drive. Then I disconnected my USB drive. Instead of then "locating" the "missing" folders (and re-mapping them one by one to the network drive), I "removed" the old folders from lightroom and re "imported" them from the new location on the network drive.
UNFORTUNATELY - none of my changes are there. How do I get these back?
Thank you for any help.

Use a backup of your catalog that you made before you did this. If you don't have one, the changes are gone.

Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?

Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
I'm on a MacBook Pro using OS X version 10.9.5.
When I attempted to edit a photo in the version I had at the time, I got a message that I must update to iPhoto 9.5.1 to use that function. So I did so. When I reopened iPhoto, all my photos were gone. I looked for them in finder but found none of my photos there in the iPhoto library either.
My Time Machine backup, directs me back to iPhoto.
I just want to re-load my photos. Can you help?

What do you see when you launch iPhoto? How big is your iPhoto library? Where is it located?
Directions for using Time Machine to restore are at the bottom of this article - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
And note you NEVER use the finder to access your photos - you only access them using the proper tools - How to Access Files in iPhoto

When my photos were moved from iPhoto to Photos in the last system upgrade, they lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

There is an Applescript, File Name to Title, provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo. If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name.
tell application "Photos"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
set counter to 1
set currentfilename to ""
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with im in imageSel
set title to the name of im
if not (exists (title)) then
set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
end if
end repeat
end if
return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
end tell
Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window. Compile and save as an Applescript application. Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing. It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them.

Lost all my Sent Messages / How can I find them?

I lost all my Sent Messages and I need them very much!! How can I recover them?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Are you using Mac Mail or internet based like Yahoo or GMail?
If it's Mac Mail, with the Mail application open, from the Menu Bar click Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors. You will see Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash. Where it says Sent, do you have the button selected where it says: Store sent messages on the server. ???
This from the Mac Mail Help Viewer:
I can't find email messages stored on the mail server
If you have an IMAP email account and you set the account preferences to store copies of messages (draft, sent, junk, or trash) on the IMAP mail server, you might experience situations in which your messages are not stored where you expected.
When Mail attempts to store messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn't find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them. If Mail can't create them on the server, it can't store the messages. For example, Mail looks on the server for a mailbox called Sent Messages in which to put the sent messages. If Mail can't find a Sent Messages mailbox on the server, it tries to create one. If it cannot, it doesn't save copies of messages you send. You might be able to address this issue if there is another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you're looking for. You can have Mail use that mailbox to store its sent messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account's name and icon) in the Mail viewer window, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and then choose Drafts, Junk, Sent, or Trash, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to use to store draft, sent, junk, or deleted messages.
If you change the account preferences to no longer store copies of messages on the mail server, you'll see that messages aren't where they used to be. To use sent messages as an example: If you were saving sent messages on the server and then change your settings to save those messages on your computer, the Sent mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on your computer; messages that were stored on the server will no longer appear in that mailbox. Instead, you'll see those messages are now located under the account's name and icon at the bottom of the list of mailboxes, in a mailbox called Sent Messages. Similarly, if you change from saving sent messages on your computer to saving them on the server, the Sent Messages mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on the server. You'll now see the messages that were saved on your computer in a mailbox called Sent Messages, followed by the account name in parentheses, such as Sent Messages (.Mac Account).

If you have iCloud backups then you should be OK except for a few odds and ends. See this:
iCloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. iCloud backups don't include:
Data that's already stored in the cloud, like contacts, calendars, notes, My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
Apple Pay information and settings
Touch ID settings
Content you didn't get directly from iTunes, App, or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs
iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content
If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.
Learn how to manage your iCloud storage or delete iCloud backups that you no longer need.
An iTunes backup includes nearly all of your device's data and settings. An iTunes backup doesn't include:
Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to iBooks
You can back up this content using Transfer Purchases in iTunes.
Content synced from iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
Touch ID settings
Apple Pay information and settings
Health and Keychain data
To back up Health and Keychain data, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.

All my windows live messenger contact have disappeared of windows messenger and appeared in my phone contact list on my curve 9360, Why, and how can I get them back where they should be?

I went onto windows live messenger today and all my contacts have disappeared from it, but I also noticed that they had somehow now appeared in my curve 9360 phone contacts. How did this happen, and how can I get them back into windows live messenger and out of my phone contacts on my phone? This is driving me crazy, can anybody help please?
My phone is the curve 9360, OS is 7.0.0 bundle 2259 And it was purchased Easter Monday
Thanks.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps which i know i can get back but one of them is pages so i have lost all my documents ! How do i get them back?

I downloaded iso5 and lost all my apps. I know i can get them back but what about all the documents i have now lost through Pages? And to a lesser extent the levels and scores i got to with my games (eg. angry birds)?

On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Make sure Apps is switched on.
For Documetns tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Documents & Data ia switched on.
Now resrtart your iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

HT201272 i have lost all my audio books, how do i get them back

I purchased a load of audio books now they have disapeared, how do i get them back.
Thanks Lee

You will need to restore them from your backup. If you did not make a backup, then you may be out of luck since audiobooks are one of the few items for which redownloading is not possible, but you can contact the iTunes Store, explain the problem, and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.

My Contacts File in Applications has lost all name and addresses - how can I retrieve them?

Out of the blue my Contacts File in Applications has lost all my names and addresses. Is there any way I can retrieve them? On my back-up systems they don't appear either. Panic!
Lecia

Hello again
Alothogh I could not find help on any of the Communities (that I could acyually understand) - I haven't a clue what I have just done but ALL my addresses have now shown up in Contacts. Wish I knew what I had 'clicked" to achieve this - but as I have been "clicking" just about everything in sight - I am not sure what did the magic trick.
Maybe, although I have answered my own query, someone could perhaps tell me what may have happened? I THINK it was something to do with iCloud --- which is something I don't understand AT ALL!
Cheers, Lecia

I updated to the newest firfox but i lost all my bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

I updated to newest firefox but i lost all my bookmarks. Or at least I dont know where to retrieve them from. I

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
