How do I restore lost contacts from my macbook pro?

We have a MacBook Pro.
It has all contacts in the address book and then they are broken down into groups for myself, my husband and 2 kids. My husband deleted all of my contacts from his iPhone. When I synced it with the MacBook Pro, it asked me if I wanted to delete 50+ contacts. I said yes assuming it would only delete for him......well it deleted all the contacts he wanted removed from his iPhone, from my iPhone and from the MacBook Pro. So the question is; how do I restore those contacts. We have I phone 4s' and recently updated to OSX Version 10.9.4. Any suggestions?

You restore them from your most recent backup.

How do i connect a cinema display to macbook pro

I got a hand-me-down cinema display from my work for hookup to my macbook pro - there are 4 different connections attached and I don't know what goes where.

You can connect to a Thunderbolt port with

or the HDMI port with

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter.

Frozen display on macbook pro

Hi!
My macbook has recently developed an intermittent problem with the display. The display becomes inaccessible as if the mouse button were being held down (there is no mouse attached, I am using the trackpad, which seems to be working fine).
The display then no longer responds to clicks, although I can still move the mouse. I have tried every possible keyboard command and nothing will return control of the mouse. Using keyboard commands I can manage to logout, but at the login screen the mouse will still not respond to clicks, so I cannot select my account to login again. After a reboot everything is fine.
This has happened a few times in the last few weeks and is pretty annoying. It has also happened while using different applications (at least Parallels and Firefox). Has anyone else found this problem? Any solutions?
thanks

How do I restore iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Pro?

When I try to open my iPhoto library, it searches for files, but doesn't find any, when I know this morning that they were there. I noticed that my screensaver pics were not coming up, and realized something wasn't right with iPhoto. It's possible I deleted something that makes iPhoto work, then emptied the trash. What can I do to restore?

Without knowing you may have deleted the only advice can be to restore from your back up.

How do I fix a frozen screen on MacBook Pro where you can still move the mouse?

I tried rebooting several times. I can move the mouse around but when I try to open programs, I'm not able to. I bought this MacBook in 2009 if that helps.

Might be time for an OS reinstall. Back up all your data and try that. You don't have to erase the partition first, just install on top of what you have as a refresh. If that doesn't fix it, then do a full wipe and reinstall. If the problem persists, then it's a hardware issue.
You can try an SMC and PRAM reset prior the OS reload options to see if that fixes it since that doesn't require a ton of work and won't cause loss of data.

How do I restore the content of my MacBook Pro from my backup unit?

Hello,
I recently had to reinstall Mac OS 10.8.4 on my MacBookPro. I need now to recover all my programs from my backup unit, using Time Machine. I cannot access anything past the date I am starting this new backup on Time Machine of my newly reinstalled Mac, which is today.
What can I do?
Thanks for helping!

Macbook was stolen, how do I restore time machine to new Macbook?

My Macbook Pro was stolen recently. Luckily before that I backed up all of my files onto a USB external hard drive, and I also recently bought a new Macbook Air. How do I restore all of my old Macbook Pro settings from the USB hard drive onto my new Macbook Air? I tried using Migration Assistant but the Migration Assistant won't detect my external hard drive as a time machine backup. I've tried right clicking on Time Machine in the dock and clicking "Browse other time machine disks" but it still won't detect my external hard drive as a time machine backup. I can see my old username and folders (ex. desktop, applications, downloads, library, etc.) but they all have a red thing next to them and when I click them it says "you don't have permission to access this content". My old macbook was stolen so I don't know how to grant permisions for me to access it. What is the best way to load all my old settings from my USB hard drive onto my new Macbook Air?

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

If all else fails, try this. i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

How do i clean spots on monitor of macbook pro with retina display?

how do i clean spots on monitor of macbook pro with retina display?

Light alcohol cleaners, like what you use for camers lenses, works. Just do not have the soft cloth cleaning pad dripping wet ... dripping wet will allow fluid to get onto internal components.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I tried to restore my iMac with my MacBook pro CDs but it's seem it got restored but it say this cd is not supported on this iMac, What could I do to take out the disk?

Also, if you have Lion on the computer. You have a recovery partition on the drive. On startup hold down 'Control' to bring up your startup menu. Select "Recovery HD". That's how you get to it. Lion's recovery partition acts as the installation discs that came with all previous versions of OS X.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

HI,

HI Ralph,
I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
We use different Apple ID.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
The Original Post was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
Now we are talking about two people with an iPhone each.
You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone (no info on any restore from any backup).
Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
Can he contact anyone else now ?
If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
If he removes the Apple ID can he Send from the iPhone Number ?
