How do I restore contacts that disappeared for no reason?

Contacts went missing on iPhone 4s, just out of the blue.  Phone had shut down and turned back on by itself earlier in the day.
Don't know why.  How do I restore all contacts that were on the phone?  Thanks.

Just sync them back from whatever program/cloud service you keep them in.

    Several of my contacts disappeared. How do i restore contacts?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • How to delete restored contacts in iCloud?

    I've encountered an issue that's a 180 from the typical inquiry:  how to delete restored contacts.
    Several months ago I deleted many of my iCloud Contacts as the list was becoming unwieldy.  (Used as a contact management database for business, it was numbering in the thousands and slow to search, load, etc.)  All of my devices were synced and the process was smooth.
    Until yesterday, when out of the blue, all of the deleted contacts returned to iCloud, iPhone and Address Book.  No settings from the day prior had been changed.
    So, is there a way to re-delete all of the unwanted contacts?  Yes, I can go back and manually delete all of them, but that's time consuming, and what's to prevent them from magically returning?

    Hey mzhill78
    Remove you icloud contact information on all your IOS devices, go to the icloud setting on you ios device and turn off the addressbook syncing, when it asks you "do you want to remove keep the address on your ips device you say NO...  So now your MacBook is the only thing syncing too the icloud.
    Go to Addresbook and look for the menu option find duplicates.
    After that wait for your laptop to sync this too icloud.  to check give it about 2 min depending on how many changes log into your icloud account at www.icloud.com and check too see if the syncing has updated whats in the cloud.
    If it has then urn on your addressbook syncing in iclouud settings on your IOS devices and all should be back too normal.
    Hope it helps,
    If this has sloved your problem please mark it as Solved thank you..

  • How do I restore my Admin status for a program in Applications using 10.6.8

    How do I restore my Admin status for a program in Applications using 10.6.8?

    Is this the file that does not have the desired priveleges? I think that's correct. If so, then open Terminal in the Utilitie folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo chown -Rf root:admin [dragged file goes here]
    Leave a space after "root:admin" and drag the file you need to change into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will not be echoed to the screen so type carefully. Press RETURN again.
    This will change the priveleges of the file to the default for the Applications folder.

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You should be more specific, what kind of hardware you are using ???
    Which kind of pulse you are measuring ?? You are saying that you want to count a number of pulses and then when you get to a limit (which will be between 3 and 10) you want to output a pulse ?

  • How can I view stuff that calls for flash player?

    How can I view stuff that calls for flash player on my ipad2?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
