Contacts now has random new entries
I am not sure if this is a migration issue from MobileMe to iCloud or an iOS 5 issue, but my new iPhone 4S now has a bunch of random entries in Contacts. For example an email adddress that I never had assigned to a contact is now listed in Contacts as it's own contact (not by full name but rather just the email address shows up as the entry). This phenomena has cluttered up my contacts.
Any idea on how to rememdy other than going in one by one and deleting? This issue has not been replicated back on my MacBook Pro in Address Book, though.

I inherited this SMB from a local contractor by a referral after he was sick of prior contractor and they messed up an upgrade.
Inherited state: 4 systems, 1 08 R2 STD server, printer, TP link WIFI router linked to 10/100 16PT Netgear prosafe switch which linked to a Linksys wired router the WAN linked to the charter cable modem.
The Initial issue was some reason they let him run the old server as a desktop and when shut off the network crashed. The issue was that DHCP was never loaded on new server and old one still pointed to itself for DNS. I loaded DHCP on the new server, pointed the DHCP DNS to the new server and all was fine.Later he wanted a dual WIFI setup the TP-link didn't support this, so I went with an open mesh OM-2P WAP and plugged this in the wired router. No issuesHe decides to add 4 systems and 6 drops to the network...

My 'contact' form is not working. When I send a test contact it returns to my adobe email account this:
"Contact Form" has a new form submission.What exactly is not working ? As you have mentioned form submission notification is received in your email account so form process is working I believe but you want the notifications to go to another email account I think.
Have you added the email address in "Email to" field in form options ? If yes and then also you are not receiving the form , then please provide me the site url and post a screenshot or form with option box open.
Thanks,

Mini iPad calendar has no "new entry" key. How do I make entries
I have a new mini iPad, the calendar has no "new entry" key. How do I make a new entry. I have an iPad 2, it has the same OIS 6.0.1 and it has the "new entry" key on the bottom right of screen. The settings on both are identical, yet the mini hasn't got the option of entering an event.
Does it have a "+" button in the upper right of the calendar?
If so, that should do it. -
I have been using firefox and was recently prompted to upgrade to a new firefox. I followed the instructions and dragged the icon into my apps folder. It had a 'no entry' sign on top of it which I didn't really understand. Now it won't start up and gives me a message saying 'You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture'.
Can you help?Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

My computers harddrive crashed and I had a new one put into my computer. I want to move my music from my i phone 5 to my computer but when I start to sync my music i tunes says that it is going to clear out the music on my phone. How can I get my music to my computer?
Hey there Noles Labelle,
It sounds like you have media on your phone that you want to transfer to your computer from your phone. You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases from your device to the computer with this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. To authorize, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Authorize button.
If the iTunes Store purchases on your device were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one.To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:-
Click the Transfer Purchases button.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
If you had content from sources other than iTunes that had been synced to your phone before, those will have to be re imported to iTunes from a backup with the following article if you have one:
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My computer now has the 'new scan' and 'accept' buttons on top right corner & does not scan
my computer crashed. I re-installed my PSC 1510 drivers( updated from the HP web site) and when I hit the scan button, the 'new scan' and 'accept' icon appear in the top right corner of my monitor(they use to be on the bottom right corner) and the scanner does not respond. Even if I hit the new scan button, nothing happens. Any ideas what to try next? Thanks
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My I phone 4, trying to transfer contacts, etc onto my new MacBook Air, now my phone does not even work...not even 911 emergency...what happened??
Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this? -
Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
Many thanks

can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?
Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone. The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On. This will upload your data to your new iCloud account. -
My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) . She now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?
Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup. -
I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?
Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required). -
I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?
- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Backed up iPhone to iTunes on our computer then started the software update. Got an error notice and phone now has a screen indicating to plug in to iTunes that we can't change even if we turn the phone off and back on. Every attempt to connect to the iPhone software update server comes back with a could not contact message. What do we do? How do we proceed?
Many thanks for your answer.

I´m using a pc running windows 8, last version of itunes etc.. tried using different usb ports, uninstalling avast antivirus but nothing works.
Any other suggestion? -
When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?
Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.
