HT1386 After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

At some point in the past, I synched with Gmail.  Looking at my Gmail contacts, I can see that it's missing the same contacts I'm currently missing from the iPhone.  Is it possible that I may have done that sync back in October 2009 (but not since) and then somehow recently over-wrote my contacts content with whatever was there?  Is there some setting I could have tripped to make something like that happen?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

  • Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

    MacBook Pro Community,
    I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
    Thank you!

    A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
    None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
    If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
    Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

  • Full system update lead to unresponsive terminal

    Hi, all.
    I performed a full system update with pacman -Syyu on my machine. This machine has not been fully updated for some time, though I updated some packages occasionally. The only warning message I noticed is that "/bin/mountpoint" existed already, and the system didn't allow the update. I remembered I also ran into similar issues before (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132225), so I adopted the same approach and added  the --force option.  The updating process was quite smooth.
    However, after reboot, the system is unresponsive. I could see the login prompt, but the system didn't accept any input from the keyboard, and I could do nothing. The booting message showed the filesystem (RAID1 with LVM) were mounted, but /dev/pts and /dev/shm couldn't be mounted. And it seemed that many binaries in /sbin and /bin couldn't be found. (I think it is due to the merge of /sbin and /bin to /usr/bin.)
    I understand you might need more information to offer advise, but the system is effectively frozen, I need to have a responsive shell to provide more information. So this is basically a dead loop now ... Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

    First question: did you force just the util-linux package, or did you actually do `pacman -Syyu --force`.
    I think the former would have been a mistake, but the latter would be a major f&*^ up.  It might be useful to know just how wrong this could have gone.

  • Updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer.

    I updated to 7.0.2 and now some of my music has been removed and I can't find it, and music I deleted years ago has reappeared, and I can't delete it from icloud. My phone will also no longer sync with my computer. My phone has also been freezing regularly since I updated.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS AND HOW DO I RESTORE MY IPOD!!!!!

    Hey gwscrt,
    Since iTunes directed to you to restore your iPod, I'd check out the following article that goes over the steps to do so:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    I would read the document in full, but here are the applicable steps for you:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Have a good one,
    David

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

    I have a Lucid 2 LG.  I have been having trouble with insuffient storage.  I have a 8G phone and have spent hours with Tier 2 tech trying to move info from the internal storage to the SD card with no luck,  When I go to storage in the settings it states that over 4 gigs is for Misc?  System data takes up over 4 gigs.  No one can tell me what system data consist of.  So My question is does anyone know what system data is?  I am assuming I have a 8 gigphone but can only use 4 gigs???

    System data is the OS or operating system.  That is where the recovery stays separated from the rest of the storage so that it doesn't get corrupted.  It is not accessible and non-movable.

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • When did Apple turn into piece of ****?  It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost

    I had a very similar problem, error 4251.  (look in your log you will see that error)  Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
    What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows.  Like you did.  I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all.  In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up.  (sigh) Yeah.  It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
    OK, here's what to try.  Go to this Microsoft KB article.  Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista.  Delete the registry key that it specifies.  Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows.  (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.)  If that is working now,  you're on the right track.
    Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken.  Go and install the latest Gear driver.  (I know you may have done it, but do it again.)  Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry.  Now reboot.  Try and burn in iTunes. 
    I hope this helps.

  • Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

    since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
    Thanks,
    regan101

    yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

    Hi Support team, somehow my mozilla settings have been changed and it became transparent, now how to change back to normal because everything is transparent, menus, pages etc.

    This could be the same problem other users are reporting as a white screen or black screen, caused by an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and some older graphics card/chipset drivers.
