Deleted icloud account and now names are gone in contacts only numbers shown.  How do I get the names back?

I created an icloud account but my 2 kids shared the same itunes account.  I had the kids delete their icloud accounts from their phones.  My contacts and my daughter's contacts merged on my phone, when she deleted her icloud account her contacts no longer show names... only phone numbers.  How can we fix this?

The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

  • I got a replacement iphone 4s about 2 months ago and now almost all of my music is missing.  How do I get my music back on my iphone?

    I got a new iphone 4s which was a replacement for my 4s that got wet abuot 2 months ago.  I had the applecare people walk me thru setting up the new phone.  I just noticed that almost all of my music is not showing up on my phone.  How can I get my music back?

    Is your library still present? You can upgrade iTunes, then on left hand side u should see purchased. Music that was purchased can be restored through phone and computer. Go to file & click transfer purchases from your iPhone. You may have to authorize the computer again.

  • I bought music on my iphone 5 and now it has gone afterI changed my apple ID how can i get it back?

    I have an Iphone 5 and I bought albums on it via itunes store app. I now realised they have gone. I can only imagine it is because I have had to change my apple ID as I no longer use the old email address (old company). I am disappointed that this has been the result though. I have synced my iphone with one of the PC's that has my itunes to see if it will reappear but no. How do I get them back?
    It is strange as it was there one evening and then the next it was gone. I hadn't actually changed anything that evening but I wonder if it was the result of the home sharing sync or something?

    It doesn't matter that your Apple ID, which uses the same characters as your old email address, now has a defunct address. You need to go into your Apple ID profile and change the defunct address for a valid one. This will not necessarily change the "address" which stands as your Apple ID.
    By "changing" the address directly on the Apple ID itself and not on the profile, you inavertedly created a new Apple ID.

  • I have 2 ITunes accounts and I am doing a restore to a new computer - how do I get the music in the right libraries - I'm going to XP to Windows 7

    I am replacinbg a Windows XP machine with Windows 7.  I have all music backed up, but I'm not sure how to restore it to the new machine.  There is both my account and my husbands.  And we are not using the cloud - the music was physically on the old machine.  How do I do this?

    It's a bit difficult for me to give advice on your specific issues, doing it "remotely."
    If you still have your Mozy backup or your old computer, with its iTunes folder "as is" (the way you want it copied to the new computer), you may want to start over on the new computer.
    The External drive method from the previously linked article provides the basic steps, except that you don't need to use an external drive as part of the process.  You can use something else as the "transfer vehicle" in place of an external drive.  For example, if you are able to setup File Sharing between the two computer, the network connection is the transfer vehicle.  If you use your Mozy backup, your online storage is your transfer vehicle.
    So these are the restated steps, for your situation as I understand it.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder - If all of your iTunes files (songs, podcasts, videos, etc.) were already in your iTunes Media folder (on the old computer), which is the default setting for iTunes, you don't need to do this step.
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer - If your Mozy backup has a copy of the iTunes folder from the old computer, you have already done this step.
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer - If iTunes is already install on your new computer, you have already done this step.
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer - If you do not have any new songs or other media to the new computer's iTunes library that were not already on your old computer, you do not need to do this step.
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer - So, this is really your only critical part. iTunes should NOT be running.
    1. Locate the folder \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\ on your new computer.
    2. Drag that iTunes folder to the Desktop.  This just gets the existing "empty" iTunes folder out of the way.
    3 & 4. In your Mozy backup folder, locate the equivalent iTunes folder from the old computer.  NOTE:  You want to locate the entire iTunes folder, not the iTunes Media folder inside the iTunes folder.
    5. Drag the iTunes folder from the Mozy backup folder to your My Music folder, to take the place of the iTunes folder that was located there before (that you dragged to the Desktop).
    6. Run iTunes.  It should use the iTunes folder you just copied to your My Music folder, and everything from your older computer should be there and accessible.
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library - Same as Part 4.  If there were no new songs (or other iTunes media) on the new computer, you do not need to do this step.  You can also delete the iTunes folder you dragged to the Desktop in Part 5, Step 2.
    As you can see, most of the work is in Part 5.  And to summarize the procedure in ONE sentence, you are basically replacing the "iTunes" folder on the new computer with the same folder from the old computer.

  • I love the tiles of my most used pages which come up when I open a new tab. 9 used to show up but now there are only 3. How can I get the others back.

    I have explored the suggested solution pages but if the answer was there I did not understand it. I have clicked on the cog at the top right hand corner of the page and changed from Enhanced to Classic, but that did not give me my 9 tiles back. I shall be most grateful if one of you folk with more savy can help me.

    You can zoom out the about:newtab page to resize the tiles.
    *View > Zoom > Zoom Out; Ctrl and +
    This will affect all elements on the page, so text get smaller as well.
    Toggle the <b>browser.newtab.preload</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page in case of issues with zooming the about:newtab page.

  • So I bought this iPod touch 4th generation 8gb ... And it turned ouI be faulty .. So I got it replaced  and the new one was faulty too(bad luck) ... This is a brand new piece ... And apple says its warranty is void ... How do I get the warranty back?

    ...

    What do you mean "get it back"?  If Apple has determined that you have voided the warranty (jailbreaking the device, water damage/exposure, accidental damage or for whatever reasons), then there is no getting it back.  It is voided, so you no longer are covered under warranty.

  • HT204150 My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone.  How do I recover my contacts?

    My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone.  How do I recover my contacts?

    First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...).  If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes.  After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

  • I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    I have an iphone and my daughter has an ipod.  She has all my contacts showing up on her ipod.  I deleted them and now they are gone from both.  is there any way of retreiving this deleted information.

    When you share an iCloud account, any data you sync with the account is merged, and any actions you take on one device (such as deleteing contacts) is synced to all other devices sharing the account.  To avoid this, each person's device(s) should have a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  (You can continue to share your iTunes account; it does not need to have the same ID as the one used for iCloud.)
    To create separate icloud accounts, decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    As for recovering the deleted contacts, you can try restoring her phone from her most recent backup.  This may recover the contacts, however it often doesn't.  Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If she have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that she wants to save she will need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

    You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating  on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT204053 My daughter and me use the same cloud ID and to buy songs and now all her contacts ended up on my new iphone 5  and I manually erased all from my phone and now they are gone from her phone.  How does she get back her contacts?

    My daughter and me use the same cloud and apple id to buy songs in the past.  I got first iphone 5 and after trying to set up itunes to phone I ended up with all my daughters contacts from her iphone on my iphone.  I then deleted them from my phone one by one and now they are gone from her phone as well.  How does she get them back on hers and what happen????  Help with cloud!

    That's what happens when you share the same iCloud account.  First, migrate his phone to a different iCloud account using a different ID (you can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want).  To do this, on his phone save any photo stream photos that he wants to keep to his camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If he are syncing notes with iCloud that he wants to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to him so he can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in his new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; this won't effect your phone), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create his new account and choose Merge to upload the data.  After doing this, he can go to icloud.com and safely delete your data from his new account.
    Then, if your contacts were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you can restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.  This involves turning off your wifi after your phone restarts during the restore process, then saving the contacts on your phone and deleting them from iCloud prior to turning your wifi back on and allowing the restore process to finish.  You can turn off your wifi either by pulling the cord out of the WAN port in your wifi router, or by simply unplugging it.

    I wouls also like to know how to download pics off of my ipod 5th generation onto my PC computer through icloud or any other way.

    It sounds like you are trying to create a new icloud account, not just logging into an existing account.  When you type in your Apple ID and get that error, it's because you are trying to create an account using the same ID that is already being used in another account.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen.  If you are logged in, press the Delete button, then try logging in with the existing ID.
    As for pics, the most secure way is to connect ipod to PC with USB and look at the Photos tab for your device in iTunes.  Using Photo Stream is another way, but it doesn't always work, depending on conditions.

  • Where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone!

    where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone! The directory on my hard drive i gone and they are not in the cloud?

    The iCloud Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for thirty days.  If you have more that 1000 photos or photos nearing the 30-day mark, you should export them to another device.

  • I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...

    I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • My iCloud account and Apple ID are different.I CA'NT REMEMBER MY icloud password.help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    If you don't know your iCloud ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.) 
    If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account.  Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones.  If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.
