An apple tech support person did a restore and upgrade of my IPad 2.  I had backed my info up 2 weeks before.  Now, all material on my apps is gone and apple says sorry, not responsible.  they aren't helping.  can you?

Please tell me how I recover all the material I had on my computer and apps.  Don't do the system 5 upgrade!

The upgrade to iOS 5 works just fine; erasing of all the content is normal, and whoever does the upgrade is warned about that. If you want your data and settings back, restore your iPad using your most recent backup. You then just need to sync back your content and apps from iTunes.
Regards.
P.S. Apple service is not responsible for data on any device you bring to them, as their policies state.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Some how do not enter sign was added beside contact, now all messages previously received messages are gone and no new messages from this sender will appear.

    I have been receiving messages from this sender fine and then all of a sudden for some reason there was a do not enter sign beside her name. I didn't know how or why it got there, some button got bumped or the mouse, and I didn't know how to take it off so I just left it. Since then, thunderbird has been reopened and all messages that I had received have disappeared and no new messages from this sender appear even though I know she has sent them to me. I have checked into filters and I have none set so it is not that. I can't figure out how the do not enter sign got beside the contact, but I'm sure it's the reason for my problems and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks

  • After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

    I run with the Nano and shoe sensor. After I covered 250 miles I got the automated congratualtions, but now after every run I get the recorded message again saying I just covered another 250 miles. Can I reset or stop it without completly resetting everything?

    Same issue here.  This is really disappointing.  I used to look forward to the milestone messages after each run, especially when I was surprised by a celebrity voice.  Now, it's the same thing every single time, "Congratulations on another 250 miles.  Way to go!" or something along those lines.  I was proud of the 250 mile mark, but please...I don't want to hear it every time! 
    I hope there's some movement on this issue.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • My back button does not work because the prior screen does not appear in the history.  I therefore must go back to the blue screen and reload safari.  Apple tech support could not help.  Can anyone else help?

    After I installed mountain lion my back button frequently does not work because the prior screen does not appear iunder History.  Apple tech support was not able to fix the problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • Weird Server Problem - Apple Tech Support guys baffled!

    So here is a really weird one!! I go to the finder. I choose 'Network' from the sidebar. I select a columnar view of the servers showing the names of the machines connected to my network. The last item, names 'Servers' should show an alias with a link to my own iMac G5 (which is named DG's iMac G5) - but what it actually says is 'macaboss.central.cu.lu' which I have found out is a server of some kind at the Central University of Luxemburg!!! Aaaaagh! So here is what is even more strange! All of the Macs on my network have the same problem and all have different names - all of which are connected with the Central University of Luxemburg. I have looked everywhere and cannot find any way to change this. I have spoken to Apple and they have no idea what has happened here or what to do. If you can shed any light on this, or can offer a solution, then I will be seriously impressed. Thanks

    The numbers on the page I linked to are all, to the best of my knowledge, Apple tech support, not independent support providers, with the possible exception of Hong Kong and perhaps some of the smaller areas; I'm not sure, not having called them all. What country are you in?
    BTW, there is no email for Apple tech support. Apple provides tech support via telephone only.

  • I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. Apple Tech support  has no explanation or solution. This has only occurred after upgrading to Lion.  How do I stop this?

    I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. After spending several hours with a variety of divisions (Lion,iTunes,iPad,iMac) of Apple Tech Support, none can give me any definitive explanation or solution.  Prior to my recent upgrade to Lion, this did not occur.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, how did you resolve the issue? 

    You get an update notice for an app that is not installed on your Mac. Is there a stranger's Apple ID also appearing on your Mac related with this update?
    If so, you have a pirated app on your Mac. If not, it should be another issue.

  • ITunes prepaid card loaded w/o selecting while on Apple Tech support

    I just purchased 2 iPod Shuffles for my children and 2 $15.00 prepaid iTune cards. After loading the software, we easily got to the song selection site and were ready to select songs but were consistently interrupted by requests to set up an Apple account which required a credit card #. I do not want to provide any credit card numbers b/c my children will not be downloading songs except prepaid card ones so while I was on Apple Tech Support getting them to fix the account setup which was blocking our forward progress, the screen went back to entering your prepaid serial card # and when I did, the message was that your prepaid card has already been used though we selected nothing. I am extremely frustrated and need to know what to do next. Can iT unes reset the card so that my daughter can pick songs? Do we have to provide a credit card number even if we never plan to use one? Help........Judy

  • All Airport dropouts: CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT NOW!!!

    I am using an Airport card in my iMac to connect wirelessly to the internet. My wireless signal has been unreliable since I bought this computer in November. I've tried new router settings, upgrading firmware, even bought a new router. I have spent hours on the phone with Apple Technical Support, have taken my computer to two different Apple stores for diagnosis and repair and am on my second erase and re-install. I told my latest tech guy that this seemed like a pretty wide spread problem with all the messages on these boards, but, according to him, it's really only a tiny fraction of all of the business Apple does. I find it to be one of the most disruptive and infuriating glitches that I've experienced because there is no good fix for it and because Apple clearly doesn't care to figure out what the problem is. I was even the one that suggested to my tech guy that I send him my log to try and see where the problem lies. Why has no one ever looked at my log! Yesterday's tech guy finally agreed to replace my computer. I'm not sure I want one. My eMac still works fine. Maybe I'll just sell the new one. Anyone want a new in box 20" iMac?

    I have some information you can pass on to Apple Tech support, if you ever contact them again.
    iWeb 1.0, from what I have heard, generally connected just fine, but 1.1 and 1.1.1 did not for many people, myself included.
    My own publishing problem turns out to have been because I run a Squid Caching Proxy in my basement. I was fortunate enough to discover why iWeb stopped publishing. My experience is documented here: http://www.untergeek.com/?p=675
    Having perused many of the "publishing error" -type posts in this forum, I can tell you that many have discovered that they are able to upload via dial-up or from another site via a different ISP. This leads me to believe that some ISPs block these new HTTP methods, causing iWeb publishing to fail. (The HTTP methods are ACL and DMMKPATH).
    So the short version is that iWeb isn't at fault, per se, but rather that the disconnect is between the new HTTP methods and some ISPs performing some sort of filtering. I imagine that Apple's developers had no idea that these new methods could or would be filtered in this fashion.
    Perhaps when they find out that this is occurring, they'll make a non-filtered work-around.

  • Reporting issues to Apple tech support

    Hi,
    I will be a new mac user if I don't cancel my order in the next few days due to all your complaints. I was wondering if "we" can report this issues back to apple tech support. Are they aware of these problems(whine noise, etc)? I understand that some of the issues are not big deal but I believe we should not experience them. I would like to know how many macbooks have been shipped without a problem.
    Thanks

    You have a couple of problems here (at least!):
    1. Very few people actually subscribe and post to this board as actual users of the product - out of the thousands of MBP's out there - so there is not totally solid information to begin with. Most of what you hear is because the more tech savvy people are on this board and are "experimenting" with thier new MBP's and are noticing more than the "civilians" out there.
    2. When there is an issue, I worry that too many times the issue is being discussed to death here, as if any of us have all the answers. And, yes, I agree with you - ALL issues must be reported to Apple - or there will be no fixes!
    3. As has been mentioned by numerous long-time Apple folks here, every product has some issues that are either minor or less. Some are widespread, but most are on an individual basis. I'm betting that is the case with a lot that is being reported here. Just because the MBP is a new product does not mean you should get all worried and cancel. As I said, plenty of PB's have issues - go to that forum and you will see them.
    3. The guys at the Apple Stores are good (the Genius's), however, YOU have more experience with the MBP (if in fact you have one already) than the guy in the store! I wouldn't necessarily count on them being to the "genius" level just yet! On the other hand, they know how to make things happen that you and I can't possibly accomplish.
    I am looking forward to my MBP getting to me (soon I hope) and will hope that I experience none of the issues reported here. However, if I do, I accept that as an early adopter of new technology. If that is something you can't do, then I suggest you cancel. However, I don't think you have much to worry about. Sure, maybe "famous last words", but in my eight month experience with Apple, they are all they say they are and their reputation is golden.

  • Contacting Apple Tech support about persistent fan problem

    I have had a persistent fan noise problem for nearly a year now. My MacPro is 16 months old and the video card fan constantly runs at high or near high all the time. My MacPro is never silent and often very noisy. This, I understand, is very abnormal for the MacPros. I have listened to other MacPros in shops and they are nearly silent. Mine buzzes always.
    I have taken my computer in three times since purchasing it. The video card has been replaced twice (ie, I'm on my third video card) and the motherboard has been replaced once as well. I've taken the machine to two different repair shops and I still have this fan noise problem. All the repair guys can say is "yeah its noisy but I don't know why"
    I would like to contact Apples main tech support about this but cannot find any info on how to on the support site. Does anyone know how to contact Apple's main tech support (e.g., who do the technicians contact when they run into trouble)?
    Thanks for your help

  • Apple Tech Support and the Publish Fiasco

    This publishing issue has been something I have fought with from the moment that iWeb was released. It recurs every few weeks, and either resolves its self, or in the most extreme case the last time this ocurred, I had to delete my entire site from my iDisk manually, and spend 10 hours, and repeated attempts republishing.
    I had contacted Apple Tech support, and gotten no satisfaction. They escalated the call some weeks ago. I was supposed to hear from an engineer and never did. That is what prompted me to go the extreme route of actually deleting my entire 860 MByte site and starting over.
    I installed the iWeb update this morning, thinking that this problem would be solved. It was not. Looking around on this discussion board, I see an awful lot of similar comments. This has made me all the angrier since this is an issue that has been there since day 1, and not been resolved.
    I very angrily called Apple technical support, and because I had reported this case multiple times in the past, I was escalated to a higher level support. I have been on the phone with Apple for the past two hours. The engineer ended up taking an extensive report from me. We tried several of the recommended procedures: check privileges on .mac, alter .mac allocation sizes, delete the assets.plist in the domain file, etc. to no avail. Finally stumped, the engineer sent me a program to actually capture a bunch of logs from my machine, as well as a network traceroute, in an effort to see what is going on network-wise in communicating with .Mac servers. He has promised to get back to me later in the week.
    I STRONGLY recommend that everyone having issues with this get on the horn to Apple tech support, and immediately demand that the issue be escalated to the higher-level support engineers, especially if you have already attempted the various solutions offered here. If they are bombarded with support calls and people offering to dump logs and send to them, they will resolve this issue sooner than later (hopefully).

  • Apple Tech support the very best!

    Well today i am super proud to be a MAC owner, i was having a problem with my E-Mail set up after trying for an hour i called customer support, the gent walked me thru the whole thing and reset it correctly, something my optonline gent could not do. I know we come on here and rant and rave about the bad stuff, but i am here to say yippppeeeeee to Apple tech support!

    That is a good point, Ochopulgada.
    Apple has continually led the industry with its technical support, which has always been very helpful and supportive.
    Try calling Lenovo, HP, or Dell for technical support. Having owned computers from these brands, I had experienced it firsthand. If you even manage to get through to a human being, you will be treated like a criminal!
    Apple truly supports its customers in every possible way!
    It is shocking that PC manufacturers have not caught on to the fact that this is how customers expect to be treated. Instead, they keep scratching their heads, wondering why Apple is doing so well, even in a recession.
