  • HT4528 My iphone just lost all of my contacts seemingly out of nowhere, how did this happen?  How can I fix it?

    My iphone just lost all of my contacts.  How did this happen and how can i get them back??

    If they're gone from icloud.com, then they aren't in iCloud.  You could try waiting a while to see if this was caused by a server glitch and they will reappear.  You could also try contacting Apple support to see if there is anything they can do at their end: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
    Otherwise, you may be able to restore them by restoring your last iCloud backup.  Doing this is a bit tricky, as you have to interrupt the restore process as soon as your phone restarts while restoring, either by putting it in airplane mode or pulling the internet connection to your router.  If you don't, iCloud will overwrite and erase any restored calendars.  Then you can disable iCloud calendar syncing and save the calendars to your phone, re-enable your wifi connection and let the restore process proceed, delete any existing calendars from icloud, and turn on icloud syncing on your phone again to upload the recover calendars to iCloud.  This process is explained in this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.  While this was written for contacts, just replace calendars for contacts and for the same instructions.

  • So i sent 2 PXTs to someone and it came up on their phone from 2 different numbers and none of them mine. I called those numbers and they were just normal people and they had no idea what had happened. How did this happen?

    Both phones were iPhone 4s and everyone was with different carriers.

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.  how did this happen, how do i fix this?

    the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance?  I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time  problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop.  any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

    I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
    The solution that worked for me:
    Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
    Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
    Click the security tab
    Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
    Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
    Click apply
    Open iTunes
    This worked for me.

  • I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

    I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

    Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
    Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
    You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
    It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

  • The keys on my laptop are smeared and ugly.. how did this happen??

    I love my laptop HP G60-243CL Notebook PC .. and do not want to give it up, even to get the keys replaced.
    I have been an HP client since my first desktop computer in 1995, but am very disappointed that the keys are smeared, almost impossible to type.. if I did not already know which key is which I would not be able to type much of a comprehensible sentence.
    I am wondering why (within 1 month) the keys were smeared and ugly, also is there a possible way to get new keys that would not look the same in a few months.. my laptop is just about 1 1/2 years new at this time in it's life.
    Thank you for you prompt response, H Penny McCoy
    Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!!

    Hello and sorry about your keys, it is possible that it may be some kind of hand lotion that is causing this effect.. At least this is what we have seen in the past.. please send me a private message and we can discuss options on getting you a replacement keyboard. Thank you for being a loyal HP customer!
    I am an HP employee.

  • Have been playing FarmVille 2 on iPad air and a iPhone 4S but the game centre has deleted save and transferred iPad save to iphone how did this happen and can it be reversed

    Can any one help game save lost and replaced from another device ???

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • TS1424 Has anyone else been falsely charged by apple on their iTunes account. Because I have. I'd like to know how often this happens so I can take action.

    Has anyone else been falsely charged by apple on their iTunes account? Because I have

    If these charges are being made to a credit or debit card, the most immediate thing you need to do is to call your credit card company or bank and report the unauthorized charges. That company can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • HT201229 I just got a call from someone whom I had blocked. How did this happen?

    With iOS 7 I created a contact title "Spam." I then blocked this contact. Anytime I get a call from a telemarketer, I add the number to this contact.
    Just now, I got a call on my phone that came up from my spam contact. I thought this was impossible?
    I have 8 different numbers assigned to the contact.
    Anyone have any insight? Do I have to create an entry/contact for each number individually? If so, that would really suck and would fill up my address book with unwanted contacts.
    This is an iPhone 5C on Verizon Version 7.1

    You should report to the Do Not Call register and also your carrier.

  • I see two iphoto applications. One is iphoto (copy) and the other iphoto (original). How did this happen?

    In the applications folder I see two iphoto apps. One labeled iphoto (copy) 376 MB/ version 8.l.2 and the other iphoto (original) 346 MB/ version 8.1.1 . Have no idea what I did. Can I delete one of them?
    I have iphoto library manager installed and used it for the first time just recently. I merged my photos into one library.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Lucy

    Keep the latest verson.  But, as Larry cautioned, open it before deleting the other one to make sure it performs as expected.

  • I sorted my worksheet and it saved the sort without asking if I wanted to save it!  How did this happen?

    I am on a mac mini OS X Yosemite using Numbers 3.5.2.
    I opened an existing spreadsheet, sorted one of the columns, then closed it out so I could open it and it would no longer be sorted (the sort screwed up all my headings), and the sort was saved!  Why did it save my sort without asking if I wanted to save the changes?

    Hi Julia,
    System Preferences > General > Ask to keep changes when closing documents
    This may recover the previous version:

  • The only account is the admin account, and i forgot my username.

    I know i should of written it down somewhere, but i didnt think it was necessary.
    P.s. this is the password that comes up after five minutes of me not using it.
    I am the only account on my macbook, and i remember my password

    Get out the disks that came with your computer, stick the #1 disk in and reboot the computer holding the c key down, you'll boot off the disk.
    First screen is your language. Second screen is the OS X installer, stop there and look under the Utilities menu for Password Reset.
    Follow the instructions.
