  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

    It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
    If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha  preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

  • I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and lost all of my safari bookmarks. Any way to get them back?

    I updated to the iOS 6 yesterday and just noticed all of my safari bookmarks are gone. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6, I use iCloud for backing up my phone. Any help is appreciated.

    What were you syncing your contacts with? If you were not syncing them to a contact manager or cloud service as intended, you may have to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract what informaion there is from the backup.

  • Last night I tried to Sync my Iphone 3GS because I had a lot of new music only to lose all my contacts and my new music. Also lost a lot of pictures. Was able to get some back but not the new stuff and no contacts. What should I do next?

    Last night I tried to sync my Iphone 3GS to my laptap because I had a lot of new music.  What happened was, at first I lost all my music, photos, and all my contacts (all phone numbers).  I was able to retrieve some music, not the new ones, some photos but not all, and none of my contacts.  What did I do wrong and how do I get my songs/contacts/photos back.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • I've reset my iPhone 4S, my photos are gone but when I plug it into iTunes it still says they are there, can I get them back?

    I reset my iPhone 4S and my photos have now gone, the albums are still there but no photos even though when I look at my storage and plug it into iTunes it still says that majority of my memory is to the amount of photos I have. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos back?

    last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
    if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

  • Apple worked on my Mac to fix password problem and lost all my bookmarks. Is there a way to get them back? I have tried talking to apple tech. They can't help

    I had a problem with not being able to send emails from certain sites. I pd a tech at apple to fix it. They couldn't so went to apple store. They erased all pass words in administrator and on firefox. Somehow then they did they they erased all my book marks which were pretty important to me. I didn't have them back up that I am aware of. Now apple said they can't do anything to find them. I searched around and found a few under different things and several were just codes.
    Is there anyway to restore my book marks?
    Thank you

    If you use the Time Machine on your computer then you can try to find an older copy of the places.sqlite file.

    There are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore bookmarks.

  • Updated my mac to OsX 10.7.5 and now all my pics in aperture are gone any ideas

    lost all my pictures and projects stores in aperture 5 years worth of work and investment  any help out there
    any one knows what could have happened? or if they might be some where in the HDD?

    I do not have a lot of suggestions to be perfectly honest, as I only use aperture from time to time.
    When you look at the empty library in finder, how big is it?
    I know it is a long shot, but is it possible you deleted the library and it is sitting in the trash?
    Hang on, I just thought of something. were the pictures held in an iPhoto library and Aperture is referencing them? if so try this:-
    Open iPhoto, File, Switch to Library. Hopefully the directory that opens should contain a file called "iPhoto Library" again you may have more than one.
    That is about all I can suggest.

    i plug my iphone into my new mac and it tells me it cant connect securely. how do i fix this? i want to be able to use the cloud

    Is it a new drive or do you already have data on it ? If it is a new one, you might just want to format it with the Disk Utility else try to check the partition with the disk utility, your partition could be damaged.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.
