How do i backup the rest of my contacts on my phone to icloud?

i had bought an i phone and trasnfered my contacts into the phone later on i signed up for icloud and it was actiavated in my phone since then all thenew contacts which i add in my directory they automatically store in icloud backup but the contacts which were already there before in my phone do not have a backup in iclound
so basically when my phone is lost or broken i can restore my new contacts from icloud but the remaning contacts need to be backup from my computer where i had previously saved.
i want to know how can i backup ALL MY CONTACTS NEW AND OLD in icloud so its much more conveninet and saves the hassle

Welcome to the Apple community.
I think you are confusing backup with syncing. With backup, all contacts that are on your phone will be part of the backup file. With syncing only the contacts in your iCloud account are synced with iCloud.
Check the accounts that you have in the contact app, you may well have some contacts in your iCloud account and others in your "on my phone" account, the contacts in the latter account will not sync.

How do I see the rest of my contact sheet preview pages?

Im creating contact sheets in Bridge using the Output function.
Works great but I really want to be able to see all of my pages before I save them to a PDF.
(I currently only see the first of however many multiple pages I generate)
I can do this with no problem in Lightroom but how do you do it in Bridge?
Is it even possible?

No, maybe in a next version, it is a well known feature request
Is it even possible?

I entered Iphoto for my user and only photo up until 2012 were in the library. I thought the restore would do the incremental Time Machine backups too.....

I synced my phone to my computer, then i backed it up. Originally i had 60 songs, then after the backup only 10 of them downloaded again. How do I get the rest of my music back? Do i have to buy it all again?

Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone. Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud. (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone. They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.

During migration all of my IE favorites didn't come over. How can I copy the rest of them?

Using the import bookmarks from IE it only brought over some of them. How do I get the rest to come over?
I'm using Windows 8, IE 11.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

Hello Sophie59
You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options- Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time

How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options->Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time. EVen if there is no way to backup, what is the system file for Firefox that stores these, so i can transfer this file or open it in an XML or similar editor to copy them out?

The permissions.sqlite file stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

Access it in what way ? If you still have a balance then it should be on your account and you should be able to use it on your next purchase (though you can't use a balance for gifting items).
