Autocomplete Email Addresses Gone

I updated the password and smtp settings for Mail account and now the address book and autocomplete email addresses are missing. How do I get them back? Where does the previous recipients list live?

All of mine are gone. Does anyone know how to correct this??

  • Autocomplete email address in Yahoo doesn't work in Safari

    Earlier this year there was some discussion on this topic, but it is not resolved. I am new to the Mac and find I'm having the same problem. Yes, autocomplete is turned in Safari pref., but that shouldn't matter. The autocomplete feature of Yahoo comes from their website, not from information stored on our personal computers.
    Anyone know if there is a way to get Yahoo mail to autocomplete email addresses in the To: box in Safari as it does in browsers on the PC?
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hello, Ralph. Welcome to Apple Discussion~!!
    Yahoo mail & Safari are not very compatible, I use earthlink web
    mail it also does not autocomplete. Cater to the ms world.
    Sorry not the answer you are looking for, perhaps someone has some
    workaround but none I have seen so far.At this point I do not think so.
    I wonder however if you could get your web mail to come into Apple
    mail you could check in Mail & Address book forum.
    Regards,

  • Autocomplete email addresses picks up wrong email account

    I have an ipad for home (with only my home email account) and an iPhone for work (with only my work email account).  When I type an email address on the ipad, my work contacts come up in the autocomplete.  It will only be a matter of time before one of my family email my work in error, which could be embarrassing!
    What can I do to stop this happening?  Is it something to do with iCloud?
    I can't just delete work contacts on the ipad every time they come up, partly because there are too many, but also I will then be reusing them at work, and will they then come back again to the ipad?

    Oh yes we always have options.
    Before we go any further, does this behavior only occur with specific names / email addresses?  If so you may have more than one addressbook card in addresssbook with a similar name / email address and one of them may have a misspelling.  Try typing in the misspelling that keeps showing up in the iCal Invitee field into the Addressbook search field to see if maybe there is a card with a misspelling (in which case correct it or delete the card in question if it is a duplicate).
    If that isn't it then:
    Reset sync services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 and restart the computer.
    If that isn't it then:
    1.) Go into Addressbook
    2.) If you have groups created click on each group 1 at a time and go to File > Export > Group vCard for each group saving them to a logical location.  Do this for the "All Contacts" group as well.
    3.) Make an addition backup of Addressbook by going to File > Export > Addressbook Archive
    4.) Click on "All contacts" and then click on one of the contacts listed to the right (doesn't matter which one)
    5.) Go to Edit > Select All to highlight all contacts
    6.) Go to Edit > Delete Cards (which deletes all your addressbook entries which is why we made a backup)
    7.) Restart the computer
    8.) Launch Addressbook and ensure it is still blank and Add a new card with an email address and name
    9.) Go to iCal and add an event with an invitee and try typing in the name / email address as you would do normally and see if it correctly recognizes the 1 addressbook card you have in addressbook.
    --- If this works then we know that you have an issue with 1 or more of the addressbook cards that were formerly in the Addressbook program.  Try re-importing the vCards created in step #2 and see if the issue re-occurs (hopefully it won't as sometimes exporting / importing fixes odd issues with databases).

  • Autocomplete email-address

    hi there
    when i type in to the TO: an email-address it doen't autocomplete its email-address (but the address is in my addressbook).

  • Cannot auto complete email addresses on ipad

    recently have been unable to autocomplete email address on ipad 2 when sending emails. anyway to correct this?

    I read the above advice and followed it to allow changes, but still cannot find how to add any additional email accounts. Doesn't even appear to be an option! Every time I select 'Mail' in settings, it all just reverts to the front screen and exits settings completely. Inherited this iPad and have just updated it to ios5...will this have affected anything?

  • Cancelling 2nd .MAC email address but keeping name as alias?

    I've got a .mac email address which is my primary email address. But I opened a second email address as a business email address. All the mail goes to the same account. But now I'd like to cancel my second email address and re-open it as an ALIAS in my primary email account. Is that possible? or is the second email address gone forever...
    I hope that makes sense... thanks in advance for any help.

    Bruno...
    devoted to this the @mac address so it is very important to get it working.
    Try resetting the password associated with your .mac account.

  • Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

    Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

  • In mail in lion and also in snow leopard you were able to click on an incoming email address and select it in spotlight , this feature in mountain lion is now gone , where did it go it was really useful?

    I used to use this feature multiples times a day as it was a great way to look up all correspondance that a person had sent through.
    This option is gone now with mountain lion and I am wondering why as it was great! you just had to click on an email address and you could select looking it up within mail.

    Hi There Linc Davis,
    Wow, you are the best.
    Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
    Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
    Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
    Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
    Please Linc Davis

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?

    This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • My email address is permanently gone!!!

    I recently switched to Comcast, and I had been meaning to run their True Assistant program to notify my contacts of my new address, and forward all emails to my new address.  I've been very busy lately, hardly been home.  I finally get a chance to run the program, and it tells me that my verizon email address is not a valid one.  So I try to get into my verizon email, and I cannot access it anymore.  Well, I am thinking just call Verizon and they should be able to reactivate it so that I can run the email switch program.  I had many important contacts, and many important emails under my verizon email.  It's really bad if I lose them permanently.
    So I call Verizon, and was transferred probably a dozen times, only to find out, once my email address is disabled, all my contacts and emails are gone permanently.  And I find out then I only have a week from the time I contact Verizon to do the switch.  This is not good at all. 
    I am told I could get my email address back for a monthly fee of $5.00, but all my contacts and emails are gone.  In my opinion, after all my hassles with being transferred so many times, I should get it for free.  Besides, I needed those contacts and I needed those emails.
    I am just very angry at them right now.  I can't believe how they kept transferring me cold.  And to only find out that everything is gone and can't be retrieved. And that I have to pay them my hard-earned dollars to at least get my email address back.  I shouldn't have to pay them another cent.

    While the odds of your content actually being gone are slim, Verizon does have the right to remove it as soon as you cancel. You agreed to it in the Terms of Service when you signed up:
    9.2 - Deletion of Data upon Termination. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOUR SERVICE IS TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON, VERIZON HAS THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY DELETE ALL DATA, FILES AND OTHER INFORMATION (INCLUDING EMAILS, ADDRESS BOOK AND WEB STORAGE CONTENT) STORED IN OR FOR YOUR ACCOUNT WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO YOU.
    This is hardly ever the case, though. Odds are that your old account is in a disabled status, but not deleted. It can be re-enabled, but you will have to get to a tech that both understands how to re-enable the account and is willing to do so. I recommend asking for a supervisor, since they're somewhat more likely to at least know the process.
