After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed by mistake and I can't find them torestore them. I wanted the original one back on the dashboard but I have't been able to do that. HELP !!! Thanks...

    I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed from the dashboard dock by mistake. I can't seen to find them to restore tham. HELP!!!

    Widgets are located in the folder, users/"user name"/library/widgets/
    Whilst holding down the option key in finder, and selecting the library under the "go" menu, you can access your library within Lion.
    If you have a working Time Machine backup, you can restore those missing files back to the widgets folder. If you don't, and your widgets folder is empty, then they are indeed gone (unless they are still in the trash). You would then have to re-download them from where they came.
    If everything is there, then just click the "+" symbol at the lower left corner of the dashboard screen to add them back to the window.

  • Can't update itunes my old version is newer than the release today

    I have had this problem twice now. And it is really starting to get on my nerves. Every time apple puts out an update for itunes it states that the current one on my computer is newwer than the version that is was just released 2 days ago (today march 12, 2012) to get around this I manually uninstall remove all apple products from every folder on all harddrives then intall the newwer one noproblem but annoying.
    then when I try to open the itunes with the library created by it I get the other part of my problem the previouse Itunes library was created by a newwer version of itunes.... Seriously all this would be easier if you just had an add remove page like plug in phone then music has left side and right side then i can use mouse and shift to select music then hit the add and bam in the phone or like drag and drop . Like how most windows operate any who I hope this bug gets fixed.
    it's the only program on my computer that has this problem so apple just get your snit in gear thx.
      Totaly frustrated  by loosing my libraries and quite peeved to have to recreate them everytime itunes has to update

    I didn't think about that  b4 I uninstalled and deleted the folders.... So I just have to rebuild it again! what a hassle. Is there any converter programs available to do this for me?
    Or like i could send it to apple and they send it back ready and raring??
    Yah right i just read what i typed!
    what about the update problem it really is anoying to have to uninstall then reinstall everytime itunes updates..

  • Firefox 34.05 says plugin is out-of-date, insecure, and thus disabled. But...my version is higher than the blocked version

    Upon updating to Firefox 34.05, I've been faced with the fact that this version of Firefox (erroneously) thinks some of my plugins are out of date, and has disabled them, for my safety.
    For instance, it tells me that "Adobe Acrobat Reader is known to be vulnerable and must be updated". Upon clicking the link to update it, it informs me that "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection.". Okay, cool right? An update should solve that.
    Problem is, I don't *have* a version of AR that is 9.5.1 or lower. My version is, according to Firefox itself, version 10.1.4.38. So why is it blocked? Updating the version, as advised in other threads on similar issues, does not seem to work. In fact, the Mozilla plugincheck tells me that my version is up-to-date and is fine.
    It is very inconvenient to have to open an entirely different browser, like Opera, just to do certain things that I could previously do with Firefox.
    I'd also like to voice my overall disapproval on the way many features of Firefox (enabling disabling Javascript, images, certain stylistic features, the add-on bar) have been done away with and users are being told "you can install an add-on to add that functionality back on". It has always been my understanding that the less add-ons installed the better, given that they are apparently the number one problem when it comes to Firefox having issues. Having to disable 5 new add-ons anytime I want to troubleshoot a problem is not convenient, and makes locating the source of various problems more difficult.
    I have no idea why Mozilla is so committed to making changes that users hate, and act as if having third-party add-ons to restore functionality is any kind of solution.

    <blockquote>
    Firefox 34.0.5 is not doing the blocking as it is due to the blocklist. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/
    Adobe Reader '''10.0 to 10.1.5.*''' has been blocked for your protection.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p158 (Blocked on October 5, 2012)
    You were looking at another blocklist page which was https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p156 posted on same day.
    The https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ is not always accurate or reliable (needs to be manually updated) as Adobe has not been keeping the Adobe products versions to check for updated on that page as the recent Flash updates on December 9 has shown.
    It is however accurate when it says versions in Plugins panel of Addons Manager is outdated.
    There is Adobe Reader 11.0.10 though it seems like Adobe still provides 10.1.4 at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ yet newer versions are at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
    </blockquote>
    James, why does the Firefox addon page link to the 9.5 "blocked for your protection" page instead of the 10.5 blocked page? Is that a mistake/failure to update on Adobe's part? That seems like something that should be controlled on the Mozilla side, since it has the 10.5 blocked page in existence as well. Should someone be notified that it's giving the wrong page to people?
    The adobe update you linked to made it stop saying it's out of date, but what about the Java Development Toolkit? (As pictured in attached image #3). How should I go about getting that up to date?

  • I lost my iPad. I had not secured it with a password at the time.  I bought a new one and was able to restore some data from the old one.  Is there a way if can locate my old iPad?

    i indeed to recover my old iPad 3 which was stolen. How do I go about this?

    If you did not turn on Find My iPad you will not be able to track it,locate it or erase it remotely. whoever has your iPad may have erased it but they might also be using it as they found t schedule means your passwords and sensitive info might be exposed. I suggest changing your Apple ID password and every other password used on your old iPad.

  • If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

    if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

    Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.  If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all work except for email. When I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all applications work except for email. Incoming messages appear on all devices but when I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

  • Load error code 9: VI version (8.2) is newer than the LabVIEW version (8.2b23).

    VI version is later than the current LabVIEW version.  An error occurred loading VI 'CleanupCallback.vi'.  LabVIEW load error code 9: VI version (8.2) is newer than the LabVIEW version (8.2b23).

    This is true.  the 'b' indicates that it is a beta version of labview 8 (.2 in this case).  I am surprised your beta version is still working.  You need to upgrade to 8.2 or have the vi downgraded to 8.0

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

  • When I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost my lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I had the old cd. Contacting Adobe is impossible, how do I find out if they can restore it?? Thanks! Pat

    when I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I still had the CD. Light room came as a bonus when I bought it at COSTCO last year. How can I contact Adobe people to see if they will restore it? I tried my 'finder' nothing..thanks! Pat

    If you took the time to register Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can retrieve your serial number from your account information that is available to you online. Serial numbers are crucial to have available in the event of a computer upgrade or change of computers. It's hard to understand why people don't take care to store those serial numbers where they know they can get them if needed.
