HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
What should I do?

What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

    I have an apple i tunes account and now I want to set my daughters i pod on my account as well, but the account only seems to recognise one ipod when i want it to recognise 3

    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account.  See this article for different ways of managing multiple iPods.

    Are you saying that iTunes does not recognize the other 2 iPods?

    I have in stalled maverick on my iMac and now my contacts won't stay open..... any fixes?

    Try restarting first. This fixes a lot of issues after installing Mavericks.
    If you have an iCloud account, you might want to uncheck Contacts in System Preferences > iCloud. Does contacts open now? If it's Gmail, Yahoo or other account that syncs contacts, uncheck in System Preferences > Internet Accounts.

  • HT1495 I have a iPod, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. My desktop PC contains my iTunes account with music from my CDs. Recently I used my laptop and bought music on my iTunes account. Now my devices will not sync to the desktop (they timeout). What is the problem

    I own an iPod, iPhone 4 and iPhone4s. My iTunes account with my music library (copied from CD's) is stored on my Windows desktop computer.  Recently, I used my Windows laptop computer to access my iTunes account and purchase some music which was downloaded to the laptop computer. I then synced the iPod and the iPhone 4 to the laptop and was able to add the purchased music to these two devices. 
    Yesterday I bought the iPhone 4s. I want to copy all the music library found in my iTunes account stored on the desktop computer to the new iPhone 4s. When I tried to sync the iPhone 4s to my desktop iTunes account the device "times out". How do I get my music library that is on the desktop copied to the new iPhone 4s?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • How do I swap payments from one account to another. I've managed to block one of my iTunes accounts due to not knowing security questions. However I have 40£ on old iTunes account and now want it on my new account?

    I have £40 on my old account but want to put it on my new account. So I don't lose the money. Can't so it very frustrating.

    You can't transfer an acocunt's balance to another account.
    You might be able to re-enable that account via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    For the security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also use this link i you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT1296 I have accidentally created two iTunes accounts and I clouds.  How do I merge these into one account

    When I closed my mobile me account it appears as if it created two iTunes accounts and two iCloud's. Is there a way to combine the apps and data into a single account.  I want to get this straightened it before I get a new phone.

    Sorry... can't be done. Apple says no when it comes to merging accounts.

  • I have just set up email accounts and now passcode is being asked for to get into iPad..is their a default?

    I have just created email accounts on iPad 2 and now it is asking for passcode on start up ..is there a default passcode?

    Are you talking about a passcode just to open the iPad and use it? If yes, there is no default and none is set one out of the box. However...if one of those email accounts is an Exchange account with your employer most likely they remotely set the passcode. You will have to contact your Exchange administrator.

  • I have multiple users on one account and now want to split the account.  How do you split and account?

    My family and I have used the same account for many years.  We are now looking to create individual accounts and separating the music and other items appropriately.  How do you split an account?

    It's not currently possible to split an account, all content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. You can try leaving feedback for Apple, and maybe at some point it will be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • I changed user account and now Time Machine won't back up.

    A few months ago I had a problem with my user account. I can't remember the details but i think it would no longer accept my password. After doing some hunting around for answers i made a new user account with administrative priviledges and transferred all the files over to that account. I also changed the permissions on those files to allow me to access them as a new user identity. For the most part that seems to have worked for me, although possibly i have not done the right thing.
    Anyway, i have just realised recently that although the little circular arrow that indicated that Time machine is backing up my files, it hasn't actually made a backup since the end of august, which was possibly when i did this funny thing with my user account.
    I am assuming that Time Machine has just got very confused about the disappearance of my files from the previous user account and change of permissions etc.
    What can i do? I read on 'pondini.org' that i could reset my time machine by deleting the preferences file from my system library and then rehooking up my external hard drive as the desired backup volume. It would then, i assume make a full backup to begin with?
    Any advice gratefully received. I am a graphic designer and i do need to have my files backed up!
    thanks
    Lesley
    ps i had some extra  RAM installed a little while before the user account problem and only mentioning it here in case that is an issue with Time Machine as well.

    Hi Lesely, sadly the great pondini has passed away.
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

  • I have a playlist on my nano currently. My computer had to be rebooted and now the playlist won't sink onto my computer. I just downloaded over 50 songs and they won't load onto my ipod either.

    the computer/itunes says it is syncing but it only takes a few seconds and nothing happens. I don't have a clue what to do. I want to play the new songs. the old songs i don't care about as much but i should be able to save and sync both lists together on my ipod. please please help me

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • My gmail account was hacked so I changed to outlook. But now my iTunes won't sync to my computer.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? My iTunes on my computer is still set to my gmail account even though it has been deleted and I have tried to connect it to my outlook account multiple times. My iPad has never synced to my computer since I got it, so the only listed device is my iPod Touch. Its like a completely separate account.

  • HT1296 I have changed from an iPhone 3 to an iPhone 4S and the calendars and contacts won't sync to my computer.

    The iPhone 3 automatically transferred data from my phone to the computer and vice versa and would ask me to choose if there were any conflicts. The iPhone 4S doesn't. What can I do?
