Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

MeAndCoke,
So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

My contacts disappeared for no apparent reason. However, all of my contacts (updated even to the last bit) in my Macbook Air are still there. How do bring my contacts back to my phone?

Hi perriejunn!
They might actually be the same Apple ID. When you have an email and use it to log into iCloud it will create an iCloud alias for you. I have an @live.no appleID, which also has an @iCloud.com alias that are otherwise identical.
If you log into applied.apple.com with the @gmail.com account you should see the @iCloud.com as an "alternate" email address.
You might also have created a new iCloud account/Apple ID when you used iCloud the first time. Then this @iCloud.com will not be connected to you @gmail.com address or any other mail addresses. You can then log out of that Apple ID at Settings>iCloud and log in with this @gmail.com Apple ID and sync contacts.

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

Have large data downloads for no apparent reason can be upwards of a half a gb. Any ideas

Hi,
My sons iPhone 4S with 64 megs of memory periodically has a large data usage. Can be around .5 gb for no apparent reason. Wifi is on. Sometimes this download occurs in middle of night. Any ideas. Thanks

If it is cellular data usage you should be able to identify the cause with a little detective work. Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For will show data usage by app and if you click on System Services in that list it will also show the details of system service usage. The numbers are from the last time the statistics were reset (bottom of the same screen).

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

Trying to download my pictures from vacation and my phone automatically reset to origional setting and I lost all my contacts and pictures. Is there any way to restore my phone back to today's date.

I just lost all my contacts and pictures from vacation trying to download them to my computer because my phone reset to my origional sitting. Is there a way to reset my phone back to today date or recover my pictures?

In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

I synced my 3G with itunes for the first time and lost all contacts and information on phone, help?

I synced my 3G iphone with itunes for the first time, and lost everything on my phone. how do i get it back?

You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

There is no way to track your device without Find My iPhone turned on. Here are some suggestions for what you can do at this point:

Can you set up an itunes acount for 3 iphones that wont share all contacts and info between them

im having trouble understanding itunes adding songs is a pain and when we conect another phone it erases and gives you what the last person had and ther contacts

On a Windows machine:-
Hold the shift button down when you double click to open iTunes, it will ask if you want to create a new library, do so for each device you want to sync.
Hold the shift button down each time you launch iTunes and choose the library you wish to load.
I am sure someone will come along and fill you in on how to do the same thing on Mac. For the life of me I can not remember

Everything should be on your computer. Just sync it back.
Did you fail to make sure that everything was on your computer before updating?

N73 Shutting off for no apparent reason

Hi all
I'm new here, I have already checked the site for similar postings and found one in particular that was identical to my subject heading, however, there is no remedy that I can see anywhere on this site, I did try to google it and the only fix I could find was to update the firmware, which I did, this made no difference at all, the phone still shuts off from time to time and for no apparent reason, its not the battery, as it turns on without any issue, the phone was a gift from my company, so no proof of purchase, although have the box, with bar code, IME number and various other numbers, but Nokia say they cannot accept the phone without proof of purchase, so there you go, has anyone found out why this is happening, myself and the other guy who posted cannot be the only people with this particular problem and I'm sure that someone from Nokia will be reading these posts, surely they know about it and have a fix, if so I would very much like to know what it is, thank you.
Regards
The Pozz

Without the option of bringing it to you Nokia Care Centre, the only suggestions I can give are as follows:
1. Make sure your battery contacts are clean and battery is secure.
2. Reset your phone.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
First try these
First try *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
If that does not work then try *#7370# - Reformat your phone

Any one else having iBook(2) in preview mode close for no apparent reason on the iPad2?

I created a single chapter book with a glossary using iBooksAuthor. The proof version in my iPad(2) iBooks(2) closes for no apparent reason when I swipe back and forth through the pages a few times. Is this something I should be able to debug or should iBooksAuthor catch issues before exporting to the iPad for preview? What are my options? I don't know where to look for error messages that might be sent to my iPad.

have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, I lose a note in my notes application. This sometimes happens when I have just opened it, or when next time I open my ipad, it just isn't there anymore. Can it only be retrieved before iCloud backs up automatically?

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, I lose a note in my notes application. This happens when I either have just opened a notes page or when next time I open my ipad, a note just isn't there anymore. It does seem to occur randomly i.e. independent of note size or age. Very annoying. I guess it can only be retrieved from iCloud before the next automatic back-up? Does anyone know why this happens and what can be done about it to prevent it in future? Is there a limit to how many note pages this app can store (presently I have about 70). I have started to email every note I make on my iPad to myself to be on the safe side. Is the Notes App really so unreliable? Anyone else with the same problem?

Oddly enough, the size/format of some names can make odd things happen with network Time Machine backups, and at least one of yours may be involved. See #C9 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Do your self a favor, though. Even if you get this working, do not depend on these backups 100%. There's a reason Apple doesn't support it -- it's not reliable.
There are any number of threads here and in the Airport Extreme forum similar to this one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2483045
If you still want to do it, see Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
