All my contacts names have disappeared after upgrading to the lastest IOS. How do I restore this? I can't find people names etc. I run a business and this is not what I expect every time a new ios or something from apple turns up.

I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
10.7.1..... **** I've got the  latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?

1.  Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
2.  Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
3.  Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
4.  Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
5.  Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
5.  Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
6.  Put the new hard drive into your mac.  Close it up.  Turn it on.  It should boot right up.
7.  Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever.

  • Can you keep extra songs on your iPod that are not in your iTunes library, and not lose these songs every time you want to delete something from your iPod in the future?

    I have all these songs that I want to store on my iPod but not on my computer, and I know that by choosing to manually manage my music I can still hang on to these songs when I add new songs to my iPod.  However, what if I want to delete songs off of my iPod in the future?  Will I lose all of the extra music that is on my iPod but not my computer, due to the fact that the only way to delete songs seems to be by syncing? 

    The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

    I have the new iPad and I could not use I tunes , every time I get an error says "cannot connect to itunes store " please help

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

    If you don't see the 'send reset info' button on the page where you can change them then I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. As you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset. You could try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security

  • How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

    I have an iphone 4s   IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
    Where did they go? How do I get them back?

    If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
    If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

  • ICal event have disappeared after upgrading to Lion. Please help!

    After upgrading to Lion, pre-existed calendar events (Newer ones) have disappeared. How can I recover?

    Greetings Alex,
    If you have a backup of your computer from before you upgraded then you can restore the data from your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    --- Let us know if you have a backup and if so, what type it is and we can tell you how to restore your calendars.
    --- If you don't have a backup, consider starting one following the article above ASAP.  Anyone with information they care about on their computer should have a backup.  It is a hard lesson that every computer user learns at least once.
    If you do not have a backup from before you upgraded:
    1. Make an iCal backup so you don't lose what you have currently:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase)
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    ---NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion:
    4. Open iCal and see if the events you are looking for magically reappear.
    If the events don't appear and you don't have a backup or have the events on another device like an iPhone or iPad then your only other option would be to use data recovery software or a data recovery company to try to get the data back (although it might be easier to just re-create the data as best you can).
    Data Recovery software examples:
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
    http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products _id=1
    You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
    There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there.  Here are a few examples:

    Hope that helps and best of luck to you.

  • Photo Projects in Aperture Have Disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1

    I am running Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBookPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM. The machine was purchased in November 2010. I have no idea what has caused this and can only guess that it was caused by the software update. I can only view 1 album that had about 12 photos and now only has 3.
    I had also created several smart albums that have disappeared.
    I have never been able to figure out a similar problem of projects disappearing on my G5 mac using Aperture 1.5. However, in the case of the G5, I can still see the photos in the library but not in the named project.

    I can't believe the solution was that simple! I was in a different library that I may have created intially. You have saved me from dispair. Thank you.

    If you havent removed your customizations, you may find your bookmarks backup stored in your profile folder. This can be found at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profilename>\bookmarkbackups folder.
    If the backups exist and you want to revert to the backup, go to Organize Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B) and choose Import & Backup>Restore>Choose File option. Select your file and you will get back your bookmarks.

  • My bookmarks have disappeared after upgrading to v.5. View booksmarks Toolbar is checked. How do I restore them?

    I have found backups in bookmarks backup file, which is a start, but I am unclear how to restore from there. How do I do it.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I purchased QT Pro years ago, but it seems to have disappeared after upgrading to Lion.

    I still have my key codes, but I cannot find a way to re-download QT Pro without repurchasing it.  The primary reason I feel the need to reinstall QT Pro is because for some odd reason the only video files that will play with Quicktime are .wmv files (which really strikes me as odd, seeing QT will only play .wmv files and not .mpg or .mov files) -- this seemed to also happen once I moved to Lion.  Like many questions that've been posted, when I try to play a .mov or .mpg file, I get the infamous Codec error code.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    If you had it in Leopard it was moved to the Utilities folder when Snow Leopard was installed. It installs in the Utilities folder in Lion, too.
