How can I restore my contacts, when I have two phpnes on one account? In icloud are the contacts of the first phone, and in my computer is the back up of my second phone

How can I restore my comtacts from pc back up when I do have two phones with one account?the i cloud has contacts from one of the phones, and the pc back up from the other?

Hi Silky-Milky!
If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    I use TopLink today, and I can use one table to query, but how can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?
    Thank you for see and answer this question.

    You can write a custom SQL query and map it to an object as needed. You can also use the Toplink query language "anyOf" or "get" commands to map two tables as long as you map them as one to one (get command) or one to many (anyOf command) in the toplink mapping workbench.

  • How can i restore my ipod when the restore fails

    I have a 32GB iPod touch, and it's been bricked over a year now. Every time I have tried to start it, it gets stuck in boot loop. I've scoured the net for ways to fix this other than the restore function. Every time I try to restore, it fails with a 1611 error code. I had tried to send it in for warranty repair when it was in warranty, and they promptly sent it back to me, accusing me of submerging it in water because the water exposure indicator was activated... and trust me, I baby my gadgets. If anything, it would have been sweat or condensation. But anyway, with ranting aside, how can I fix this? I feel like I am out of options...

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The phrase "the device may need service" means the iPod has a hardware problem. From the information you provided it appears that you have hardware damage.

    I have NEVER had a password for my iphone and I bought it outright. It asked me for a passcode and now I have been locked out of my phone. I will have to restore it but this is very annoying. Why ask me for a passcode when I have never had one? And why change my settings straight up after I download ios7?
    Very frustrating.

  • How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

    I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
    I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
    Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using  a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
    as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

    Hi Geoffbubbles,
    if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
    Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
    What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
    Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
    When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
    You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
    These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
    When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
    As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
    Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
    1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
    therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
    if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
    if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
    On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
    In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
    When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
    Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.
