How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account

How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account

If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone. Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge. That will get your contacts over.
If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream. This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature. You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream. If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App. In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream. There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

HT4889 how do you import itunes and photos from my old mac book to my new macbook air

I have just purchased a new mac book air and want to transfer my itunes and photos form my old to new. Is there any easy way to do this as most of the tutorials seem to want to move everything and my old mac book is 512GB but my new air is 256GB solid state. I do not want to move everything ( except for itunes) but it seems to be difficult to select bits and pieces. Also is there a need to transfer all the user information form my old to new or can I start fresh? And can you still use the old mac and thenew mac with the same itunes library?

Hi pjktl,
The document that you are referencing shows screen shots under the Firewire/Thunderbolt section that shows how you can selectively migrate parts of the Macintosh HD. Skip down to that section and see if that is what you are looking for.
I don't see why you can't have the same library on both Macs, but I don't know if there is any way to keep them in sync, and you need to select one of them to sync your iTunes content with (this does not include Photos, as they are kept in the iPhone library. My husband and I sync our devices with the iTunes library on his Mac, but sync our photos with the iPhoto library on my Mac. You just have to make sure you have the device profile screens set up correctly for each device in each library).
Also, you can set up the User information as new on the new Mac
Cheers,

How can I move all my emails and mailboxes from my Powerbook 10.4 to a new MacBook Pro running Lion?

I have an older PowerBook (OS X 10.4.x) and I need to move all my Mail (including mail I archived to folders) to a new Macbook Pro running Lion.
Can I just move the Mail directory (/Home/Library/Mail) and com.apple.mail.plist from the Powerbook to the MBP?
I noticed that the Mail directory structure on the MBP is different in Lion than the Mail directory structure on my PB OS X 10.4.
I didn't want to overwrite the Mail directory on the MBP and find out I corrupted Mail on the new MBP.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The safe "step 1," of course, is to keep an unaltered copy of the 10.4 Mail folder and plist so that if something bad happens on the new machine, you just throw out that folder and plist and try again.
The safe "step 2" is that instead of dragging the folder into the same place on the new Mac, you can copy it to a separate location, like a temporary folder in Documents, then in Apple Mail in your new Lion MBP, use File/Import Mailboxes. It will ask you where the mailboxes are, and after you point it to that folder, I'm assuming it will import and convert them to the new format and place them in the correct sub-folders. If it goes well, you can then delete the temporary copy that you made for import purposes.
The 10.4 plist might be too old since it's 3 major versions later; you can try putting it in the Preferences folder, but it seems safer to note all the settings in 10.4 and re-enter them from scratch.

How can I totally strip ALL google products and services from my 3GS?

Hi,
I am extremely unhappy with the direction google is taking with their new privacy policy.
I am terminating use of ALL google services and products in my personal life and paying to use other services that respect my privacy.
I want to know how I can completely strip ALL things google from my 3GS..
I bought it used second hand so I am using it on T-mobile because AT&T is the WORST company on earth. But let's not worry about that, I will never, ever use AT&T, I would do without before I wouldgo back to them.
All I can find are lots and lots of webpages and apps to ADD google nonsense to your iPhone but I can find none at all about how to remove them.
I want the google search removed from Safari, I want it replaced with anything else but google.
I want google maps removed, I want google, all google removed from my phone.
Surely there must be a way to do it??
Thanks..

I understand what you are saying, but there is no way to avoid being tracked if you use the Internet. None of those tools block you completely, and if you use ebay or amazon then ebay and amazon know everything about you, and take advantage of it. Blocking Google won't stop it. The one you really need to fear is acxiom*, who collect data from everyone (including amazon and ebay and your bank[s]) and aggregate it. And sell it to the highest bidder, such as the CIA. Adblockers block the ads you see, but don't prevent the advertisers from knowing who you are. The only way to avoid being tracked is to buy only in real stores, never on the Internet, and pay only cash, never credit cards or debit cards. And use only a basic cell phone with pay-as-you-go SIM cards bought with cash. For some idea of what I am saying read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The technology discussions in it are dead on.
*I bet you've never heard of them, which is the way they prefer it to be.
Well I don't care about the government too much. They monitor everything anyway and there's nothing anyone can do about that. Oh well.
But the greedsters, the banksters, the profiteers, the one percenters, those are the ones I despise deeply.
They have no right to know what size clothes I wear or how much I weigh or what I eat or what TV shows I like to watch or what color my bathroom tile is or what color the pillow cases on my bed are or even what my birthday is. It's none of their friggin business.
On a PC, and I use Linux, I can install add ons to my browser to deny those greedy, selffish corporations access to a great deal of my private life. I use Ghostery, for one, to block a lot of those nasty tracking methods and it tells me that it's currently blocking 778 "web bugs". I update it every few days and it usually grows by at least 10 new bugs every time. I use adblock plus and I've made sure to ad filters to block everything to do with google and facebook, in addition to a vast quantity of other evil things it blocks.
It only gets worse, it never, ever gets better. What is allowed in the US is illegal in many European countries because they take privacy seriously. Over here, it's a joke. It doesn't exist. Profit before people is the American way of life. It makes me sick. It's just pure, distilled, unadulterated greed.
I would actually like to use a VPN service (I'm looking into it) to further deny the greedsters additional prying into my life.
I do know that Amazon and ebay track you but in many cases I have no other options, I live in a small town and all we have is one Walmart store. Everything else went out of business because Walmart drove everyone else under and now they are the only game in town. So when I can't find something there, I have no choice other than to buy online. So that can't be avoided I'm afraid. But really, big whoop, so they know I buy books on Buddhism from Amazon and Tibetan prayer flags on ebay. I'm sure that's subversive stuff that they can use against me someday.. *smirk*.... But still, that's MY business and no one else other than the vendors I buy from.
The vermin that data mine and sell what they can find out about me through their spying on my activities, those people (corporations) are the scum of the universe and they don’t deserve to share the same oxygen source as I do. To them, I wish upon them ill will and great misfortune.
My distaste and disdain for technology grows ever more bitter as time goes on. Perhaps some day in the not to distant future I will turn my back on this modern world and move to Nepal to become a Buddhist nun. A bowl of rice and a saffron robe will be the only things I will need then.

How do I move bookmarks, cookies, history and settings from an old Firefox version to my new one

I have the previous version of my Firefox from an old computer now located on my C drive. I would like to move the bookmarks, cookies, history and settings to my new Firefox (it is an upgraded version on my new computer). When I click on the File drop down, the import section can not be opened because it is not active. I have dozens of bookmarks that I would like to have loaded in my new Firefox application. I would also like to have my passwords moved to the new Foxfire application. How do I get that to happen?

ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

Have you failed to use the device as designed?
If using the iPhone as designed, contacts are synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. Pictures taken with the device would be copied off to the computer on a regular basis.
If you have been using the device as designed, simply sync the content back.
If you have not been using the device as designed, you can try restoring from the most recent backup. However, if that does not restore them, they are gone.

Here's how I successfully transferred all my Contacts and Pictures from PC!

Hi,
By no means a detailed How-To, but I wanted to share my experience in transferring my contacts and music from a PC with Vista to a new Mac. Note that my contacts were "Windows Contacts" (not Outlook), and the events I had on my calendar where not really synced in the PC, I just had them on the iPhone.
But I had this question on another forum, and I guess some people might have similar issues:
(I also transferred all my songs)
Just in case someone has a similar issue, here's how it all went down:
1. I backed up iTunes from the PC with built in backup function.
2. De-authorized songs in the PC right after.
3. After setting up the iMac, I loaded the backup DVD. I opened iTunes on the new iMac and selected "import" and pointed to the DVD. (If your library is too big, use several Dual-Layered DVD's as the backups can performed on several discs)
4. It imported the entire music Library, shows in playlists as "Imported Library 2007-28-11"
5. Clicked on "authorize" and done.
HERE IS WHERE THE STRESS STARTED, OR SO I THOUGHT
6. Connected the iPhone, it immediately asked if I wanted to sync up the pictures. I clicked "yes". Sent all pictures TAKEN WITH THE iPHONE to iPhoto.
7. Clicked on the iPhone icon on the sidebar in iTunes (where the sync and restore options are), navigated to the "info" tab, selected contacts and calendar and synced.
8. Gave me a warning message saying info on MY iMAC would be altered by more than 5%, I said OK and TA-DAN! I had my calendar synced with iCal and my contacts synced with Address book! All the info on my iPhone actually transferred to the iMac with NO HASSLES!.
Not only that, Safari was able to import all my bookmarks from Firefox on my PC! This is most awesome and unexpected! The only thing I noticed is that my purchased songs from my old iTunes on the PC do not appear under "Purchased" in my new iTunes; so when I synced up the iPhone with the music, they also DO NOT appear in the phone under the "purchased" playlist. The songs are there, and they work fine, they just don't appear on that particular playlist, they appear on the main Library and under the "Backup" Library...
Still, that's a minor detail. Everything went smooth and I love my new Mac!
Switch from PC = Easy!

Well, you can disable the automatic start up of iTunes. That is done in Edit>preferences>Devices and place a checkmark by "prevent iPods, iPhones, etc". Have you been syncing the iPhone in the past? If so, were you using a supported application to sync your address book to? As far as pictures are concerned, you are generally prompted to import your pictures, and if it was me and I took a series of important pictures, the FIRST thing I would have done when I got to the computer was to import the photos.
Check your Windows Address book to see if they are there. If not, you will not be able to recover them.

How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account
