2.1 SW update erased all contacts except one!

I just updated to 2.1 and went to go call someone, only to find out that all of my contacts, except one, have been erased. The one that remained was one that I had edited previously today.

This is supposed to happen! One of the features of the iphone is that when you change your contact account settings on the phone it deletes everything. Thats because in Apple world you dont store your contact on your phone they are only a copy...LOL Sorry but this is the truth.
You would have been presented with a loverly waring saying "All contacts on your iPhone will be deleted if you proceed" guess you missed that one.....I know I did at least once while trying to sort his syncing mess out.
Bad luck but next time sync first, make a backup then change your settings.
Your contacts and calendar - if they are still on your PC/MAC - will appear soon though just be patient. If they are gone from your PC/MAC you are #$#@$@ stuffed.

The latest apple update erased all my contacts

IOS update erased all of my photos, even in iTunes?!

I am concerned that the latest iOS update erased all of my data on my phone, including every picture and video I ever took of my 2 year old daughter.
I regularly connect my Phone to my computer, so I had imagined that iTunes was backing up my data. But as far as I can tell, this is not true. It looks like it's all gone. My phone has no photos. iTunes has no photos.
Here's what happened:
When I agreed to upgrade the OS, the phone "verified" the update and then told me to connect to iTunes. When I did, iTunes told me that the phone was in "restore" mode, and that I had to restore it to factory settings, which would delete all of my data.
Turning off the phone didn't help, the only was forward was a restore. I was concerned, but assumed that things were backed up on my computer.
Once my phone was "ready to use" everything was gone.
There are three backups of this phone in iTunes: one from a few minutes ago, one from when the iOS update and restore finished, one from 9 months ago, and older ones. There is not one from the backup I thought I was making a couple of days ago. It's all gone.
Note: I have updated iOS many times before, but never before has it erased all of my stuff. Something is different this time.
I do not use iCloud.
I regularly back up my computer to my Time Capsule. Is there maybe some way that I can restore an old backup from that or something?
I'm very upset.
Please help.

My girlfriend just had a similar thing happen. She orginally got her iPhone 5 2 months ago. Sunday morning she clicked the recent update. As it downloaded it prompted her to plug into itunes. When she did it said that the install failed and she would need to restore the phone to continue. Not really know what any of that meant, she restored the phone. After that she had no photos, no contacts, no apps and no calendar.
She is really only concerned about the photos (her sister just had a baby, she took the photos) we took it to the apple store and the guy said there was nothing that can be done. Seriously, no photos could be recovered. were probably talking about 500 mbs of photos.
I checked for the restore files and one said 11/26 a few days before she bought the phone and then 2/3/12 with a time after the wipe happened.
Icloud doesnt have any photos. Is she really out of luck like the Apple store guy said, is there really nothing that can be recovered. I've erased a memory stick before on my camera and I was able to restore all photos, wondering if there is something like this that can be done. Any ideas?

Will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

Unless you plan to restore it, if all you are doing is updating the firmware then nothing will be erased from your iPod. Even if it was you just have to reload from iTunes or your back up.

After syncing, lost almost all contacts (except 12) on iPhone and Outlook

I did a sync on Thursday and I lost almost all contacts (except 12 contacts) on both iPhone and Outlook. Only 6 of remaining 12 contacts were new entries since last syncing. So, some old contacts stays and most of got ereased. I tried to search for possible solutions with no luck. I got my iPhone in Asia to be able to have Chinese character input. I am traveling now and it looks like I dont' have a backup file of my outlook.
Is there a way to retrive the contact data from the iPhone Hard Drive?
Need help ASAP.

Not sure what happened here, but I'm not aware of an iTunes prompt to sync an iPhone that is connected. Each iPhone includes a preference setting to automatically sync with iTunes when connected - which I recommend turning off. This is selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. iTunes includes a preference setting to not automatically sync and iPod or iPhone when connected. This is a personal choice, but I prefer manually syncing, or syncing when I want to in case I want to make any changes before my iPhone is synced.
I assume your Father does not maintain a backup of his Address Book data on his Mac, or any other important data? The Address Book application includes a simple and quick backup Address Book option which is important to use when syncing any device, but is important regardless in case a problem arises with the Address Book database.
On your Father's Mac, with the Address Book application quit, go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
Within the Address Book folder, move the AddressBook.data file to the Desktop.
Change the name of the AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data or remove the .previous extension from the file name so it is AddressBook.data only.
Cross your fingers and launch the Address Book application. If the Address Book data is not restored, and your Father does not have a backup of his Address Book data, the data is lost.

Question about import all tables except one

I have exported all tables for a user. While importing I want to import all tables except one table whose name I know. How do I do this? Example: If I have tables: Employee, address, salary that I have exported. While importing I want to import only Employee and address. How do I do this. The database I have exported contains over 20 tables.

I don't think it is possible at all, you just need to explicitly specify all the tables.
If you really don't want to include the single table, then you can import all the tables and drop the desired one.

Need all members except one

We need a report in FRS 11.1.2.1 (for planning app) with all account members except one member (say XYZ), this dim is in page dim. Since we want the report to be dynamic, we tried few things:
1. Tried using All Accounts AND NOT XYZ
2. Created a UDA with all account members except XYZ. Used UDA in the report and it does not show up the right result. It shows only one page for each account.
Any suggestions will be helpful either in any of the above options or something new.
Thanks

Hi
What exactly is the requirement? Do you want a total of all accounts excluding one or do you want to display all accounts excluding one?
What you are describing with the Page dimension is the way that the page is intended to work. If you want:
1. Subtotal of all accounts except one
a. Either add this member as a dyn calc member in the outline and call it directly or
b. Call the overall total and the account you wish to exclude and use a formula in the report to subtract one from the other
2. Display all accounts except one
a. Move what you have on the page of the report into rows (I suspect it may be too large to fit in columns)
Hope this helps

Sophos Endpoint security: Block all websites except one

I've been trying to find out how to block all websites except one, in an end user, by creating a policy in the Sophos Enterprise Console. I can see an option - Full web control but it requires an appliance. My question is, it is possible block all websites except one with Sophos? I appreciate if anybody knows, and can tell me how. I have downloaded the trial version of Sophos. If it's possible, I'll try Sophos ES for a year, for the end users and servers.

Team Folder in the past was managed by administrators. Administrator can create, edit, delete team folders. The team folder can be published to a group of users, including Active Directory group. It is very convenient to share files and folders with a group of users in the same team. As team groups bigger, it may not be convenient for administrator to manage all the team folders. So it makes sense for administrator to assign some users to be able to manage team folder that they own themselves. Role Manager It usually starts with the role manager by creating a role with Add/Edit/Delete permissions and assign it to users or Active Directory groups. Manage Team Folder The user who are in the private team folder role will be able to manage team folders without seeing all the team folders from everyone. Here is a YouTube Video about...

Block all URL except one or two in WRSV4400N

Hi,
I have a WRSV4400N router and I need to block all URL except one or two. Can I do it with or whitout TrendMicro ProtectLink??
Thank you

Hi Axondigital,
Your english is very good. I did say "check and see" in my earlier post and not here is a solution.
To answer your original question , the answer is NO.
URL filtering is a limitation you will find in a product like the WRVS4400N, but you will not find that limitation in the new and more powerful SA520 which has an URL allowed and blocked list.
My advice would be, evaluate trendmico protectlink if you wish and see what you think. send a email to the following address to get a evaluation license;
[email protected]
But try a SA500, if that customer really needs a low cost, but capable router that requires URL allowed list.

Need directions to erase all contact/calendar/email data so that I can start fresh again

I have a Blackberry 8830 that I want to pass on to another family member, but I need to erase all of my current data including contact/calendar/email. Can someone help in providing the procedure to accomplish this.

You don't want to save anything?
If you do, perform a backup using Desktop Manager of the device before you proceed with the following.
On the BlackBerry > Options > Security > General Settings > press the Menu key > Wipe Handheld and proceed.
This will delete all the settings, preferences, data, messages, contacts, calendar, etc.
It will NOT wipe or delete anything from the Media Card should you have one in the device.

2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

I bought new music on itunes for th first ime in years and the updates erased all my music from my ipod and none of the new music that I bought was downloaded...a bunch of stuff I never heard of is now on my ipod. How do I reload my library?

I went to itunes for the 1st time in years and bought music. The updates removed all the songs on my ipod and did not downlaod my purchases. Instead I have a bunch of songs I never heard of. How do I reload my library on my ipod and get rid of the terrible junk that is on there now?

Was this a different computer/iTunes library than what it you had originally sync the iPod with? If so, that would explain why all of your content that WAS on your iPod was erased, since an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.
As for your current predicament, you'll need to figure out how your iPod is configured to sync music and then adjust it so that the stuff you don't want on it is removed during the next sync operation and the music you DO want on it will be transferred over to it from iTunes.
