FIX MAJOR ISSUE! Sometime last night my 4S contacts were replaced by my yahoo e-mail accounts.

I bought my very first iPhone 7 days ago. Thinking this was the best move from the blackberry. hmmmmmmmmm  Not seeeming so today!!!
I added over 100 phone contacts manually and last night all contacts were gone. My iphone contacts were replaced by my yahoo email accounts.
NOT IMPRESSED!
I have read numerous chats regarding this issue and it doesnt seem to be fixed. WOW......
However it was brought up that there is a default under the settings that make either your email account, computer or iphone contacts primary. Which I didn't know about, until today. I am guessing when I decided to add my yahoo account the other day. It decided to make itself the default. 
Why isn't the iPhone default for contacts regardless what you add until you decide to change it?
So extremely frustrated and angry!!!!

The only thing you would need to worry about are photo stream photos.  They are deleted when you delete the account.  When you sign back in, you only get back photos added in the last 30 days.  To avoid this, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in and the data will download back to your iPad.
Of course, if you have added or made changes to any of the contacts on your iPad, you would also need to make these changes on the contacts on icloud.com before deleting the account so the data that downloads back to your iPad is the most recent data.

    I had a major power out last night while using Lr5, we have power back now but when launching Lr5 i get this error and I have rebooted 2 times nows with no results. I have a normal pc, and this is the error message i am getting.......Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and quit, so i say ok and still nothing works. i am trying to process my event photos from yesterday and i need to get this fixed urgently!!! please help

    Delete the Preview Cache folder.
    It is in the same main folder as the LR catalog. Usually in your Username folder.
    Once delete LR will rebuild it once LR is opened.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs last night and all contact info is gone.

    Updated my iphone 3gs last night and all contact info is gone.  Messages, notes and all other sections are intact----just no contact info.

    You can resync your contact via Itunes, just go to the contact tabs and check to sync.

  • Gmail Issues Since Last Night (9/24)

    Since around 5-6PM on 9/24, I've been having Gmail account issues.  I have 2 gmail accounts on my BB Z30. Apparently I can send messages OUT from my phone but incoming messages are not being delivered. 
    When I go into my email accounts and try to save it again, I get a variety of different error messages, including: not all connections were closed in the allotted time, etc.  What's interesting though is that when I switch to wi-fi, one of the Gmail accounts works properly, bu tthe other one will not.  I got an error message (with a triangle at the top of my Hub listing) saying that Gmail isn't Responding.  Again, isn't responding on ONE account, but it is responding on the other account (on wi-fi).
    I will try deleting the account and re-adding it to see if that makes a difference.  But I'm curions if anyone else is having this issue.

    Ok, my bad.  I worked on it and now on the cellular network both Gmail accounts are working fine.  Not sure what happened to cause this.
    Anyway, I deleted one account and re-added it.  After that, the status of that account changed to 'email' indicating it was connected.
    Everything seems to be well now.

  • TS1868 My yahoo e mail account on my yahoo is sometimes missing messages sent from my mac or ipad and vice vers

    My yahoo mail account on yahoo is not synchronize with my yahoo mail set up on my mac air and ipad

    I really doubt that this has anything to do with Firefox. You say your are trying to use Yahoo Email, Firefox has nothing to do with that other than it displays the site for you.
    If you are having problems with Yahoo Email, I suggest you go to the Yahoo Email page and look for a Help or Support link and go there and see what you can find.

  • Can't drag and drop attachments in mail. Major issue!

    I have to restart the computer to drag and drop attachments to an email. If I want to do another drag and drop to another email I have to restart again to make it work. It is a real pain. Do any of you guys know if their is a file I can trash to make this work or I have to wait till apple has a update to fix this? Thanks.

    When this happens can you drag and drop regular files and icons etc?
    I did a clean install, setup several user accounts last night. Dragging and dropping was working in my main user account last night. This morning (computer on all night) I could not drag and drop anything in that particular user account including mail attachements. Other accounts worked fine. Thought it was a permissions issue but they were fine.
    Ended up trashing the user account and resetting it up and everything back to normal.

  • CS5 Premiere was working perfectly until last night... Now not responding. Any solutions?

    Hey all,
    So, for the past month I've had no problems editing with premiere. Then last night while editing on a much smaller project than normal, (same file types) the program started slowing down, considerably. Now, any keystroke puts the program into "not responding" and it takes minutes to select clips. I've restarted the computer, program, and looked at my cpu usage in the task manager. While the program is running, and then not responding, the computer is not stressing at all, 14% cpu, 31% memory. 
    Im running an i7 [email protected], 8gb ram, with ati hd 5770.
    What i dont understand is why I've had no issues until last night, and now I cant use the product at all. My After Effects still works fine at least.
    Any one else have this issue or know of a fix?

    Along with TClark's questions, try doing a New Project, and test it out.
    There have been reports of Project files bloating, and then not working properly. Adobe is working on that. Seems that many/most/all of those came with CS4 Projects converting to CS5. Was there any CS4 to CS5 conversion anywhere in this workflow?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • My TC has been working fine. Using WIFI my iMac, ipod touch were able to access the internet. Last night, no internet access and when I plug the router connection in my Mac all is good.

    My TC was fine, it supports a Mac and an ipod touch. I have had no issues until last night. Nominternet access, Timecapsule app cannot detect or finf the TC. I have my router cable plugged into my Mac and it's fine. I am using Leopard and have no idea what TC firmware version I am on. The TC does get hot! Any clues?

    Firmware downgrade.
    Go to the airport menu at the top of the page when you have airport utility open.
    The second screen will open over the airport utility.
    Now hold down the option key when you select firmware so not just new ones open but also old ones.
    You get a warning ..
    You proceed.
    Now you have your TC with whatever firmware you chose.
    That is about as Gumpy as I can do it.

  • I bought an itunes giftcard last night and I redeemed it. However even though it says that I have $25.12 in my account, every time that I try to buy a song it goes right to my billing information.

    I have been using Itunes for at least 5 years and I have never had a problem with it. I recently bought a $25.00 Itunes giftcard and last night I redeemed it. When I get on my itunes account it says that I have $25.12. However, when I go to buy a song, everytime it goes to my billing information and that only way that I can buy a song is if I put my credit card information in. How do I get it to stop, and let me buy a song with the money that is in my itunes account?

    Itunes verifies your account using billing info.

  • Updated my computer last night with the latest update.  Now I cannot log into any of my email accounts-what's up

    Updated my Air last night:   OS X 10.8.2
    Now NONE of my email accounts will accept passwords, not gmail or icloud or bellsouth(which I have recently started getting switched over to icloud). 
    Most of the "help" here is aimed at the really computer literate--dumb it down for me please.
    -Don't make the response too technical--it only frustrates me.

    Have you tried the steps listed in this article:  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections ?

    When I send my imessage sometimes it tells me that my message is sent as a text message as oppsed to an imessage and then doesnt tell me if its delievered. It just started doing this last night.How can I fix this?

    This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone.  If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

  • After updating my 4S to iOS 5.1.1 last night, none of my data applications are working today, nor Siri, iMessage or anything of the like. I'm at a loss as to what might have caused it. Is anyone else having this issue/has anyone found a fix?

    After updating my 4S to iOS 5.1.1 last night, none of my data applications are working today, nor Siri, iMessage or anything of the like. I'm at a loss as to what might have caused it. Is anyone else having this issue/has anyone found a fix? Everything seems to work fine if I connect to wireless, but if I'm not connected to it then nothing is working. My service provider says everything should be working fine, I still have the 3G symbol and full bars.

    Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
    Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. 
    If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
