please i am looking for your respond and your help

Welcome to the discussions,
In case you did not sync your phone after that, your last backup may contain these infos as well and restoring from this backup will bring your contacts back.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If not possible, you can only get your contacts back if you have a backup of your iphone backup folder included in your back up routine. Restore it again at it's place here: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/.
For more info see this article about backups: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Help please! Restore Backup deleted my most recent data

Hi,
Desparately need help please!
I accidentally deleted a note that was quite important, though not the end of the world if I lost it. Then I looked at iTunes and there's the 'Restore Backup' button under 'Backups'. So I thought, OK why don't I try click that and see if the note is in the back up.
But after clicking it, without asking for confirmation it just went ahead and restored my iPhone to a very old state. So my recent photos, notes, etc, now all disappeared! Only the apps appear to be merged - so my recently deleted apps came back and my existing ones are still there as well. I was hoping for the notes and photos the restore process would do the same but apparently not.
Is there any way I can revert this restore process so I can go back to the state before I did the restore?
Thanks in advanced for any help.

Just update your replacement phone to the latest iOS in iTunes. (Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Check for Update. You may receive a prompt when you launch iTunes that an update is available; if so, update from there.) When given the options, set it up as a new iPhone.
Then eject it from iTunes, disconnect it from your computer, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should be able to restore from your backup now. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger and this will take some time to finish.

Your help, please...contacts received cryptic e-mails that I did not send

Your help, please...
Some of my contacts have received cryptic e-mails that I did not send.
How do I "clean" my computer?
Thank you!

There's nothing wrong with your Mac. One of your PC friends/co-workers has had his address book compromised and the malware is sending out emails from his address book as if they came from the person who's name is in their address book.

Help please for a newbe - retrieving a slide show

Help please.
I have spent a couple of hours producing my first slide show. I didn't have time to finish it and saved it as instructed in Photoshop Elements.
Now I can't find it! I can't find any buttons to allow me to get the project into Photoshop Elements. I have looked at the help section and it is silent on the matter.
Probably a simple question for you people - but can someone please talk me through retrieving my part finished work.
Many thanks

Yes Adobe seems to hide the files away. On the Windows platform they are normally found in the projects folder under ProgramData on the hard drive (click image below for full file path)

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It's a bit difficult to understand your situation...lacking any punctuation (save for the ? at the end), parsing your post into useful information is difficult. I think that you are trying to switch from one device to a new one, and are having some difficulties with the Contact List -- exactly what those difficulties are, I'm not quite able to understand from your post.
The simplest method to switch devices is via the Device Switch Wizard:
KB23677 How to switch devices using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Beyond that, if you are having trouble with only the Contacts, and are using one method, then perhaps trying another method might be useful. I think you are trying to use backup/restore, but then you also say "synchronized", which is a different function, so I'm really unclear as to what method you are using and what issues you are having. Nevertheless, here's another method you could attempt:
KB24488 How to export contacts from a BlackBerry smartphone using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6
Otherwise, please do try to post again, but try please to use sentence structure and punctuation so that we can have a chance to understand your situation. Understanding your situation is, as with all communications, the first step in being able to help you.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Help please with restoring iphone factory setting

hey can someone help me please? i did "restore" to factory setting on itunes for my i phone and now after it reboot it has the icon of usb and itunes icon on screen and the only other option it lets me do is emergency call, what do i do?

Connect your iPhone to iTunes and perform the restore again. DO NOT unplug it until it is completely done and it's on.
If iTunes cannot recognize the iPhone, force your iPhone into recovery mode and try to do the restore from there. To do this, turn it off. then, press and hold the home button. Keeping it held, plug your iPhone into iTunes via the USB cable. Keep holding down the home button until the screen showing a USB cable and an iTunes icon. Then, iTunes will recognize your iPhone, and you can do a restore.
Again, do not unplug your iPhone until iTunes says it's done restoring. It will reboot your iPhone a couple of times before it's done.

Help needed for sorting contacts

Long time User of Treos (Palm Versions) and I just purchased Treo 800W. Love the speed and versatility however having problem sorting out contacts. In the Palm Versions, I was allowed to use sub folders in my outlook however when contacting the help desk, I was notified I have to put my all my contacts in one folder (Contacts). Needless to say when you have many contacts you will not be able to find them efficiently. Need help in the best way to sort out contacts and have them filed accordingly. Please advise and thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Hi .. Welcome to Palm forums. In contacts on the 800w there is a option for catagories. You can create different catagories as you wish. You can also do the same in outlook. Then on the device you will find a filter option and when selected will show only the catagory you select at the time, for instance business. Now for searching if you type in the entire name it will take a long time to find the contact if it ever does. The way to search is to enter the first initial space last initial. To further specify you can add additional initials ie, first initial space last two initials.

Help please - cannot restore due to Activation Error message??

I have my husband's iPad and he has recently passed away. His iPad and iPhone say the following message" Activation Error: This device is not registered as part of the iPad developer Program...I've tried to restore them but they won't allow me. Help??
I don't want to lose any of his photos, am pretty sure he backed up before he passed away.
I can't use any of the devices because they are disabled.
I've tried setting them into Recovery Mode but it keeps stopping halfway through and telling me that the iPad cannot be restored.

Error 1604:
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and re-open iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Help please: Update/restore iPhone 4

Hi all,
I just managed to solve the problem of iTunes store not showing up in iTunes (by removing and installing everything) only to run in to the next problem.
I have just got an iPhone 4.
I configured it (now that iTunes kindly show me the pages) and I see that there is a new update for my phone.
I download it and want to update it.
The update gets stuck in the middle. No responce from phone since yesterday.
I have tried to reset the phone, reboot PC etc. and when I now connect my iPhone, I get a pop up that the phone has to be restored. Okay, I do that, it downloads the update, prepare to install, everything looking fine... but it gets stuck in the middle of the update.
So, basically, phone not working, dead, update/restore gets stuck.
Im going on holiday on Friday and had planned everything to have my iPhone with me. I so regret that I updated the phone just now
System:
Windows XP, latest version of iTunes, all updates for windows installed, etc.
Tried closing down virus scanners, firewalls, etc, no luck, still stuck...
So if anyone could point me to some sollution I will be very happy.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Tried all this, no luck:
Turned off all USB devices, rebot -> restore -> frozen
Downloaded an earlier version of the update and try to do a shift/restore in iTunes. No luck.
Note:
The restore is 682 MB large file. This file it loaded the very first time I pressed the update button in iTunes.
Nothing more I can do really. Gona have to give it back and get a new. And no iPhone on the holiday meh..
PS: No, it is not jailbroken. it is brand new.

Help Please! Restore issue

Hello,
I plugged my iphone 4 into my laptop yesterday and left it to do its thing. I came back, and the phone showed the itunes and cable symbol. I disconnected and reconnected many times, but each time the screen kept saying that the phone was in recovery and needed to be restored. After a fruitless call to Apple, I was forced to recover as I needed the phone. Unfortunately I seem to have lost everything, pictures, contacts, the lot. Can anyone suggest a course of action to get these back? The data must be in there somewhere. Not at all happy...
Many thanks,
DRW

How often do you sync your iPhone with iTunes? iTunes maintains a backup for your iPhone which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
This link provides the data on your iPhone that is included with the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer so no iTunes content should be lost.
Although photos and videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, photos and videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage before the photos and/or videos are imported by your computer.
Contacts are also included with your iPhone's backup but contacts are designed to be sync with a supported address book application on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup or on any cell phone alone for this data, which can be lost or stolen. Your iPhone's backup includes a significant amount of data.
At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab what is shown as the date and time for your iPhone's last backup? Since you restored your iPhone with iTunes, there should be two backups now.

Help Please: Looking to contact Software Development Team

I have been looking over the site, and I am struggling to locate a contact address for the development team.
The query is this: Without giving too much away, I have in mind what I believe to be a highly innovative software concept / marketing method to integrate with the existing format and content provided by iTunes.
Therefore, I am looking to arrange a pitch for this idea.
Probably a long shot on the forums, but I'm guessing there has to be a certain amount of company involvement in the moderation thereof.
If anyone is able to provide contact details to help facilitate this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Simon

Any help please re:- restore error message? Thanks

I have an error message.
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6).

Mudanzas
Please delete or disable the OldFilm.AEX file.
That is the Adobe solution for the issue in Premiere Elements 13.
In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the path to the file is
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 13
Plug-ins
Common
NewBlue
and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming it from OldFilm.AEX to OldFIlm.AEXOLD.
Please let us know if that works for you.
Thank you.

Help/strategy for restoring with time capsule

After some of the last Apple software updates, my computer has serious problems. Specifically, iTunes has a conflict with something else in the system. I've tried pretty much everything to fix this, The only thing that worked once (as directed by apple phone support) was to completely delete my system preference folder, but the next time I restarted the problem was back.
The only thing I can think to do now is to restore my system to how it was about 10 days ago, before the latest round of updates. However, I don't want to lose all the documents and emails that I've been working on since then. My thought is back up the "work" stuff like desktop, documents folder, etc onto another drive. Then use time machine to restore the comptuer to the past state, then copy the "work" folders back in to update them.
Is there an easier way to do this? If I restore to 10 days ago, I'm assuming Time machine loses the docs, email, etc from 5 days ago?
What are the advantages to wiping the drive first vs. a "soft" restore?
Any other advice? Thanks for your help.

I did a reinstall (back to 10.5.2), followed by a time-machine restore. Itunes is now back to 7.6.2, and Quicktime is at 7.4something. ITunes seems to work again.
While this solved my problem, it is an hugely time-consuming process. While it is more convenient to "set it and forget it", I think it would have actually been considerably faster to reinstall my apps from DVD and manually re-import docs and files from my home folder. Additionally, Time Machine will not fully restore my Leopard Mail messages. They appear in Time Machine, but neither the initial full restore or specific restores of just my inbox resulted in about 4000 messages not appearing. Fortunately I had manually archived my mailboxes before this process.
**I would not recommend relying on time machine as the only means of backing up important files**
**Also, do not expect to have your computer back to normal right away** Although I began the whole process of reinstallation and restoring Saturday morning, my computer is still about 24h away from being done with the initial Time Machine backup (ie. it won't be done until Tuesday). For desktops this would not be a problem, but for a laptop, I had to leave my computer at home today.

Help please. Restore problem~!

Hey I have the original Ipod Nano 2GB. And it was working fine then all of a sudden one day it asks me in three different languages to restore it. So I plug it in and try to restore it. It restores then when the 15 seconds are up it just goes back to the way it started.. I tried with the Newer version and the same version.. Is there anyway I can just get it back to the way it was without any of my songs. Thanks.

have you tried the reset technique?
the: put on hold, take off hold, then press menu+center button for 6 seconds
so that it resets..... have you tried that?
