Hello. When I turned on my Ipone 4s today all of my contacts were gone. They are backed up in iCloud but can't figure out how to get them from there back to my phone. Aren't them supposed to sync automatically over wifi? Can someone please help me?
Hello jllew333
Check to make sure that Contacts is toggled on to sync by going to Settings > iCloud. Also go to iCloud.com to see if the contacts are showing up there to see if it syncing those contacts.

iCloud storage doesn't affect the available storage on your device. It's for backing up your device and syncing your data, so you can recover the data if needed.
You probably need to import photos/videos to your computer or another destination (like a photo kiosk & burn CDs), and then delete them from your device. Or, delete some unused apps from your device. -
Everything was OK earlier, but when I started Firefox again, the only thing that shows is the tab! I can't search, there are no menus, I can't enter a URL, I can do nothing! I had to (shudder) use IE to enter this question!

I reset my macbook pro a few days ago.. and when i started to use it again i noticed all my apps were gone (keynote, iMovie, garage band, etc) i don't know how to get them all back and every time i try it tells me i must buy them.. what do i do?
should i come into the actual apple store or can you help online ?Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using. -
I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!
Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up. -
I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music
Hello hueycat,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music. To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network. I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:
Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
iPhone
With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
Select a shared library.
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4557
If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??
We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
Do have a backup?
If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

I have iphone 4 with virgin mobile canada, virgin provided me SIM unlock code online, but i don't know how to use that code to unlock my phone. Can anyone help me in this?
That's not how unlocking an iPhone works.
The carrier the phone is locked to submits a request to Apple, wh updates their database. When that is complete, you restore the phone with iTunes to process the unlock. -
Why cant I buy a single song for a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have two that I got with an ap on my phone but it was transferred to my e mail and i don't know how to get it on my phone as a ring tone !

Because not all songs are licensed (by the label) to be used as a ringtone. -
The whole story: The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012. I purchased a new hard drive and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive. Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice. BUT I really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate. How can you tell when it is finished? I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done. Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything. The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering. Nothing. Thanks for help.
are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive. -
I recently downloaded ios6 and have now lost almost all of my apps. They can be found in the App Store, but what a pain in the behind! Does anyone know how to get my apps back on the screen where they belong?
Thanks for any assistance!Firefox has no built-in option to do this, it will be due to an extension. Check your list of extensions to see which one has added this feature. Extensions that have this feature include Tab Kit, Tree Style Tab and Unified Sidebar, though there are probably others.
If you are having problems identifying which extension is causing this, use the procedure in this article - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes -

You should have been syning them with your computer regularly. They should still be there.

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
ThanksThanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance -
I really need these photos. I updated my phone and I had to put all of my apps back on there. But what I really care about are these photos. I need them....PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
