Since installing OS X Yosemite on the laptop, I have lost most of the contacts How do I find them and get them back on the laptop?

I   installed OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 and almost all of my contacts are now gone. How do I retreive them
Also the laptop is extremely slow now.

Do you synchronize your contacts with iCloud or some other network service? What backups do you have?

    I have downloaded a CD from the itunes store but it seems to keep downloading. how do i stop this and get a refund for the unwanted CD's

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.

  • I bought a gift card, but it hasn't shown up in my e-mail after 1 hour.  How can I find it and get the credit on my account?

    I bought an iTune gift card for myself and sent it to my e-mail address.  I have waited over an hour and the e-mail showing the gift card has not arrived.  How do I find it and get the credit put into my iTunes account so that I can buy some music?

    Oh hold on - sudden development!
    I panicked and force-shut down my computer because it froze after I clicked on the 'Reset Cache' option, then I logged back on and noticed the Cloud symbol next to the missing song. I clicked it, and it's finally downloaded properly! <3
    Mate, thank you so much for helping me out! xxx

    My laptop and my iPhone both crashed I have lost all my contacts music and pictures is there anyway of getting any of it back for my new iPhone 4S

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, tehn you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Everything else is gone, if you have failed to backup or sync it to icloud or some other cloud service.

  • When I choose a song on my iPhone 5c, it deletes them all except for the ones I have purchased off of iTunes. How do I fix this and why is it happening?

    Ok. So if you didn't know, there are some sites that allow you to download music for free legally. For example many industry artists release "free albums" or "mixtapes" just for their fan base. They are uploaded by the actual artists themselves and downloaded by millions of fans. However when I choose to play one on my iPhone 5c, all of them get deleted except for the iTunes purchased songs. This has never happened before and I would like to know why it is happening now, and how to fix it.
    Thanks.

    Hello yung ron,
    It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.

  • Pages allows reload when I try to go to them and always go back to the homepage of the site I am trying to view.

    When ever I open a new link that isn't the homepage of a site or type in a link, the page always reloads and I lose the content I was trying to view. Many times I have to hit stop so that the page will not reload and therefore the whole page doesn't get to load.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • HT4859 After I set the iCloud account, I lost most of my contact number.

    After I set the iCloud account right, I lost most of the contact number in my phone book.

    If icloud.com does not have any contacts (log in using a browser), then they are gone.  Your only hope is to restore to your computer the missing files from a computer backup, like Time machine on a mac.  Otherwise, do you have the contacts still active on some other device?

  • After doing the IOS update i lost most of my contact list..how do i restore it???

    i need help restoring my contact numbers from the icloud never had to do it before so im a little unclear as to how.

    Not that it helps, but this is why I wish they would just go back to customer activations at home instead of activating iPhones in store. They do it there, then 3 or 4 or 5 months later, the user gets around to plugging it in to iTunes for the first time only to have all their contacts as well as apps and music they've purchased wiped out without ever having backed it up...
    You can try to restore the phone. It 'should' have been backed up before the initial sync, but I'm not positive about that. I'm not in front of a machine with iTunes now and don't want to steer you wrong. There should be a number of helpful threads here. Use the search box at the top of the page, you should be able to find step by step instructions if it's still possible.

  • My iPod reset itself and converted all of my music into files on the iPod's hard drive. How do I access them and get them back?

    I made the mistake of disconnecting my iPod from my computer without ejecting it and now all of my music, podcasts and other files are listed as "other" in the iPod summary section. I can't access the files outside of iTunes (when the iPod is just being used as an external hard drive), so I need to know if there's any kind of third party program or other technique I can use to get this stuff back.

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How Do I Reset Keychain and Get Rid of All the Password Popups?

    I was away four a few weeks and just before doing so I had reset my user password? When I returned I couldn't remember it, so I had to reset it in recovery mode. After doing this and booting up I'm getting oodles of prompts to enter my Keychain Login which I do not know, so I do reset which doesn't take. Mail also asks for all my mail accounts passwords which I enter and do not take either.
    How can I clear all the Keychain info and start from scratch before I pull all my hair out?
    Lastly, I do not backup Keychain to iCloud.
    OS 10.9.4

    I talked to Apple Technical Support last night about it.  What caused mine to start popping up was that I changed my settings and created a login password for my computer.  It must not have been the same password as my keychain password so keychain password popups started.  Technical support had me reset keychain with the login required for my computer and now I don't have popups anymore.
    If you have AppleCare on your computer that is current, you can call technical support with any issues and they'll gladly walk you through your Mac troubles.

    The sound on my Mac Pro doesn't seem to be working since installing OS X Yosemite - help!

    I had a smilier issue... If you're using external speakers (as opposed to the ones on the display), you may need to re-select them in System Preferences. Some preference choices seem to reset with the Yosemite install.
