All of my Internet Explorer addresses disappeared from my address book - how can I get them back (I do not use Outlook)??

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox (from 3.6 to 4.0). I went into my address book, and only a couple of names appeared - all the rest (groups and individuals) disappeared. I found them in an old version of Explorer. How do I copy and export them to Firefox (I don't use Outlook)?

What happened when this change occurred? What is an "IDN update"?
Can you provide a screenshot (suitably obfuscated) to demonstrate the "my name appears broken seemingly into columns" effect?
I don't know of anything formally called a "group" in Thunderbird's address book, so any other words or names that appear might help here. For instance, my Address Book has mentions of Address Book Contact, Address Book and List. The "List" is perhaps the closest to the group concept used in other address book environments.
Finally, what version of Thunderbird and what OS are you usng?

Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Sorry, but movies cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

Trash can disappeared on bottom of emails. How can I get it back?

If you have Gmail, you can opt to have the mail archived or deleted. Make your selection in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Gmail (your account)>Account>Advanced>Move Discarded Messages to: then make your selection . The trash can will reappear.

I have two devices on my account : one iPhone5S and one iPhone5 both connected to iCloud. When I deleted 500 contacts on one device they disappeared automatically from the other. How can I get them back

How can I get back deleted contacts from iCloud?

If both phones were syncing contacts with the same account, that's normal. iCloud syncs changes on one devices to all other devices sharing the account.
If you don't have another backup source for your contacts, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

HT201394 My Quicktype has disappeared from my messaging. How can I get it back? I just update my IOS 8 to the 8.2

My quicktype has disappeared from my messaging. I have even updated to the IOS 8.2 to fix, but still not there. How do I get quicktype back?

The new iOS is 8.0.2, but go into Settings>General>Keyboard and see if it still shows the keyboard installed. You can also try a reset on the phone to see if that will take care of it, by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect any of your data.

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

TS1702 I lost all of my apps when i updated my iphone 4. How can I get them back on my phone?

I updated my phone and lost all of my apps. How can I get the apps on iTunes back on my phone?

I lost all of my apps icons today as well. I have to go to the Apps Store and click on the the app. Can't re-dowload and the app. store says that all of my apps. updates were applied. Where is this Synch Apps and the Apps Tab? On the phone or in iTunes. I hope that this works for me, too.
PS - every update that I have done has required a restore, and I only have a couple dozen apps. The Apple rep. I spoke with today said that I have to redownload the apps, but can't do that and even if I could I would loose my data. Grrrrrrr.

Playlists disappeared from iTunes after update. Can I get them back?

All my playlists disappered from iTunes. I'm running Windows7 Pro. I must have lost the playlists after an update. I haven't listen to iTunes for a couple months, mostly Pandora, but yesterday I went back and all my playlists were missing. --- I do remember an update some time back.
I tried to find an answer by Googleing my problem but nothing worked or was applicable. I found solutions that were older and that had tips like "Go under File in the menu bar and import...".
For some reason I neither have File nor a menu bar , nor an import option. I can't even find out what version I have - but you can assume it is the latest because I always click OK when Apple throws an update at me.
Do I have to start over or can I get my playlists back? ---- I have used an assortment of media players in the past. Mostly some smaller but brilliant ones and something like this never happened. I'm not sure how I feel about this happing with Apple's iTunes. Usually I would have thrown it out but I need iTunes for my iPod and iPad and I'm about to purchase an iPhone. So I can't let this one go.
If I can restore it - or even if not - , I will make sure I do a back-up for my playlists. I have never done a back-up for PLAYLISTs in the last 15 years (!?). But from what I read some people recommended it for iTunes. I would like to add this question to my original problem: how do I make a backup of my playlists? Do you do it too? Is it REALLY necessary - or can I plow on more or less safely for the next 15 years?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

My Address Book has been emptied of addresses, both personal and group. How can I get them back? Is it because of the IDN update?

When I go in address book, then on either or personal or group, nothing desirable happens. Under 'group' my name appears broken seemingly into columns, as well as my user name, and my email addy for my gmail account. Funny about that gmail name, as I have never intentionally linked it to my tbird account. Please help this old granny, it is driving me insane. Not to mention that i've written this mozilla support bit at least 5 times and something wipes it out before I can submit it.

What happened when this change occurred? What is an "IDN update"?
Can you provide a screenshot (suitably obfuscated) to demonstrate the "my name appears broken seemingly into columns" effect?
I don't know of anything formally called a "group" in Thunderbird's address book, so any other words or names that appear might help here. For instance, my Address Book has mentions of Address Book Contact, Address Book and List. The "List" is perhaps the closest to the group concept used in other address book environments.

Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.
