How do I know my contacts have been backed-up before I update to the new software? itunes tells me I have to erase and restore, I'm afraid of loosing contacts.

you can sync your contacts and things under your own itunes and your wife can have her own... or both in one as long as you have it synced in the same computer they will be there
if you name ur phones its easier to tell which is which
my husband kids and i all have our names and then iphone next to it and it creates a different backup for each and then we update and we restore from there it lets you choose which backup you want...
hope it helps!!

  • I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them.  Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.  However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so.  If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
    To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    I have installed the youtube app. But i hate it so much i just want my old youtube back.  How can i undo my software update?

    Well, if you loose functionality und good user experience due to apples and googles quarrels its simply not a matter of bugfixing. If you want to get rid of googles services (Maps, Youtube) you should at least make shure, the user experience stays the same. Without the youtube app custom made for easy iPad use, you need to buy an app to at least get fullscreen view but with a much more complicated navigation (iCabMobile for example). And GoogleMaps is right now still the far better service.
    If google lets me use programs for free (to make advertisements) I'm ok with a beta. If I buy a very expensive apple device I'm definitely NOT ok with this, especially when I'm forbidden to revert to what I had before. PLease let me downgrade to 5.1.1 again at least.

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • I have been trying for two days to download the new icloud 4 that was offered at the same time as the new iTunes just prior to iOS8 release.

    I have been trying for two days to download the new icloud 4 that was offered at the same time as the new iTunes just prior to iOS8 release.
    I keep getting installer package error messages, I uninstalled the previous version to see if that was the problem to now find that I cant reinstall it as the new version is the only one available.
    Im using Windows 7, I'm assuming Im not the only one with this problem.
    Would a complete uninstall and reinstall of Apple software be of any benefit or is that just a cure all solution when nobody has an answer?

  • I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore and I just updated to the new software

    I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

    You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

  • I have just updated to the new version of Firefox. Eventhough, i have reboated my computor, Firfox prompts to do it again and again and would not open. The same things happen if i try to unistall it or redownload it. What can I do?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • I want to download the new software but I don't even have the app store on my computer how do I do that?

    I need the new software to download the new itunes but i dont have the app store on my computer. How do I get it and how do I download the new software?

    It sounds to me like you may be running OSX 10.5.  Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you are running OSX 10.5 you will have to upgrade to 10.6 by buying a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple phone sales.
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 

  • I updated my iPod to the new software, I had 4 or 5 Gb of photos and music each and now I have 11.5gb music, 10.6 gb photos,no space to sync, says i need an extra 9.17gb, 4th gen, pc

    i downloaded the new software, there clucked update... it apparently updated my ipod but now when i try and sync some new songs, it wont let me saying that i have no free space, but i only have 16 or 17gb of stuff on my ipod, and its a 32gb one...

    When you connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes what is the value for the "other" category shown in the colored bargraph near the bottom of the screen? If larger than say about 1 GB, that is you problem,. You have corrupted files on your iPod. That happens sometimes with an update. To reduce the "other", you need to restore you iPod. Sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.
    If that is not the problem what is the distribution shown?

  • I have a problem. When running, I installed the new software and I deleted all the files, photos ... Please advice how to recover.

    Please help

    Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

  • How do I check my files have been backed up on disk utilities

    My mac book pro model : a1278 from 2010 won't log in it just loads with a grey screen with the apple logo and the buffering symbol, I have tried the safe boot mode and that doesn't work. I have also repaired the hard drive on disk utility and that hasn't solved the problem either. I have backed up my files onto a USB using disk utilities. I am wondering how to check that all the files have been backed up before I do a clean installation of Mac OS X Lion as I don't want to lose my files. Any suggestions ?

  • After last icloud backup, unrequested by me public holidays in the UK have been marked on the calendar and I can't find how to delete this. Also, I have been trying to delete a birthday from the same calendar for months and it keeps reappearing.

    iPad 2 with iOS 7.01 After the last backup to Icloud, unrequested by me,  my calendar has been filled with public holidays of the UK which there doesn't seem to be any way of deleting. Also, I have been trying to delete a birthday from the calendar for months, this time using all variations of 'delete' and it keeps popping up again!

    Are you also restoring from your backup? That sounds like what is happening or someone else has your Apple ID.
    A backup to iCloud would have no way to add UK holidays to your calendar. Open Calendar, tap on Calendars at the bottom middle of the page and untick the ones you don't want.

  • How do i download the new software onto my computer so then i can install the new itunes? i dont have the mac app thing either and it wont let me do it from the itunes because my server is not working. how do i fix it?

    Hey so i have a version of a mac i think it is kinda old, it is the all white one i got it like 4 years ago maybe. I got a new ipod recently and i cannot downloade any music onto it. this is because i tried to download the new itunes which it said i needed and now when i try to install it. It says i need a new software so i try to download that and is says i need the mac app or something. but it says i need the new software to get that. so i went onto itunes and clicked the apple and pressed new software and it goes onto this little thing that says my internet is alright but my server has not been connecting. My computer is connected to my school and they updated the server thing and now it wont connect, so i can't win. how do i fix this and download everything i neew?

    First things first: Pull down the Apple Menu and select "about this Mac" and tell us what version of OS X is currently on your computer.

  • Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    That’s just the problem I’m having. I follow all the steps as found in the iPhoto help. I select a photo then click the i (INFO) button in the lower right corner to open Faces - Keywords - Places pane. Then select the Keyword I want to remove, then the delete key. The key word I want to remove is removed okay at that point, (from the Keywords pane.)
    However, when I go and do the same operation on a second photo - again the keyword is removed in the Keywords pane - then when I go back the first photo - the unwanted keyword is back.

    Reset the phone then try it again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.
