HT1414 I was recently locked out of my I Phone and had to have it restored at the Apple Store.  My question is, how do I restore all of my contacts from my Macbook?  Is it possible to restore my contacts without restoring everything else?

I recently had to have my I Phone restored and unfortunately lost my contacts along with everything else.  My wife and I share a MacBook.  Is it possible to download our contact list onto my I Phone without downloading all of my wifes calendar, notes, etc...?  If so, how would I go about doing that?  I appreciate any help.  Thanks.
Matt

Restore the device from the most current backup on the computer it normally syncs with.
Now, that being said, unless you were syncing your contacts to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, it is very likely they are gone.

  • This is my first time to ask a question, but my iPod touch 4G is not letting me restore and my i have taken it to the apple store and THEY could restore it but then after it shuts off and I can't restore it. Can anyone help me?

    Hi, umm so anyways my ipod is about 2 years old now and i think the reason why it started to malfunction in the first place was because i had too much stuff on my ipod, apps, movies, and junk. But now i took it to the apple store and they were able to restore my ipod but when i go home it goes bad again and i try ot restore it on my laptop and it says it can't restore it. (11) and another thing is that when i try to turn my ipod on, it turns on to the apple logo then all of a sudden theres suppose to be the unlock screen but instead a black screen with a tiny loading sign in the middle and it keeps buffering and it never turns on. and then it shuts off with a white screen and then does the same exact thing for like 10 minutes. please help me. I dont know what to do. and my dad will be very ****** if it cant be helped..D:

    I was recently locked out from my iPhone. I dont want to wipe it totally though. Help?

    The only methods are described in the this article.  Your data will be erased, but if you backed up your phone to either iCloud or iTunes, you can then restore the backup with your data.

    My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer.  For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it.  I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud.  How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I have an iMac with Mavericks that is experiencing a lot of "spinning balls" from particularly Mail, Google Chrome, and Word. I took it to the Apple store and it was fast there, at home slow. I have been having internet speed issues, could it be that?

    I have a pretty new iMac with LOTS of storage (about 4TB with externals) that is experiencing a lot of "spinning balls of death" from time to time in almost any program that I might have open, but particularly MacMail, Google Chrome browsers, and Word. I took it to the Apple store to be checked out and it was really fast with no issues there. I brought it home and it was better at first but then it started happening again.
    I have been having a lot of issues with Time Warner where my download speeds will dip really low, and all I can think of is that MacMail goes and tries to check for email and can't get out to the internet and it locks all the other resources up while it is doing it. It will also take a REALLY long time to even let you look at mail. The folder size is over 13GB (down from 22GB that I just cleared out from - I have a lot of MP3s etc in there) and I will try to get this down to under 10GB which might help, and the mail is on an external drive. I have been told that Verizon is not a shared network but a direct connection to their server, and if I can't fix this then I will try switching to them. If anyone has any direct knowledge on this stuff, I am all ears.

    We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

    Hi,
    Strikes -
    Go into compositionReady and have 3 variables you will be able to set them like this
    strike1 = 0;
    strike2 = 0;
    strike3 = 0;
    So on the wrong item click have
    if(strike1 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE1 ANIMATION
    strike1 = 1;
    else if(strike2 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
    strike2 = 1;
    else if(strike3 == 0) {
    PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
    strike3 = 1;
    So this will make it so when the wrong item is clicked each strike will be played in order.
    Random Scrolling -
    You should look into the Math.Random function to make things random in edge.
    This is an example of the Random function. It will generate a random number up to 100.
    var random = Math.floor (Math.random () * 100);
    Lose Screen Score -
    So we can create another variable in compositionReady for the lose score.
    score = 0;
    Now when the user gains a point to add to the score you could do this code on the click
    score++;
    which would add 1 to the score, However you can add however much you like to the score doing "score + 2" and so on.
    To edit a text with the score at the end which I'm assuming you will want to do you will use .html
    so $("Text").html("You score is " + score);
    I hope this helps!

  • How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I  want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

    I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to  "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

    Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

  • HT4528 I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I wanted to find out - can I bring my old iphone 4 to the apple store and get a new iphone 5 through the apple store instead of verizon?  Will it cost the same to get the phone as through Verizon?

    I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I am trying to find out if I can get my phone through the Apple store?  I have an iphone 4 and am hoping to upgrade to a iphone5.  Just want to make sure if the price is the same as if I went to a Verizon store to upgrad. 

    I don't believe they were looking for a trade in, they are due for a subsidized Verizon upgrade. I think the bringing the iPhone 4 was for setting it up and transferring as Verizon does not require you to swap your previous phone for an upgrade.

  • My iPod Touch has been locked out for 22 million minutes, and will not let me restore it?

    I hadn't used my iPod in at least a few weeks prior to turning it on and charging it. After I did, it gave me a notification that said, "Disabled for 22, 311, 091 minutes." So I looked into it and decided to restore my iPod using iTunes on my computer. However, after attempting to restore it, it told me that I would have to enter a passcode on it. I do not have any access to other computers, and it won't connect to the Internet to use Find My iPhone unless I used voice command to access FaceTime -- which only works when it is unlocked. I know the password, but I really don't want to wait for a month or so to access it. How do I fix this?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    ALERT to the possibility of bad use of FRAUD in FAKES APPLICATIONS to iPad in iTunes Store. I bought two applications: Word Office, and PowerPoint  - $20,00 each-, because the advertising announce it's as Productivity Applications, able to work with them and consequently, to write, to save the works, to print, and else. But it's is ABSOLUTELY FALSE because this FAKE APPLICATIONS only PRETEND to be, but really its contains a BUNCH OF TUTORIALS VIDEOS!!!. So if you need applications to write, a make presentations or else, I strongly recommend PAGES, NUMBERS and KEYNOTE, the Apple applications and your money to be save and guaranteed!. I really think that the iTUNES STORE and the APPLEI STORE must to be policy ALL the applications products BEFORE authorized the sell in his official site!.

    Is this one of the apps that you bought?
    Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 - Be Expert
    It may not be completely obvious, but it is, at least, categorized as Education with an, albeit small, disclaimer "(noted: this app is not the PowerPoint from Microsoft)"
    The description is accurate, as it is all "What you can know" and "What you can learn" but they probably should use a different icon to avoid confusion.

  • I TRIED RESTORING MY IPHONE 3G AND AN ERROR CODE CAME UP. THE APPLE ICON IS ON MY IPHONE AND IT WANT TURN OFF OR RESET. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING BUT ITS NOT WORKING. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. DON'T HAVE A RIDE TO THE APPLE STORE.

    PLEASE HELP ME.

    No need for the caps.
    If iTunes prompts you to restore your phone, then that is your only choice.  Just follow the instructions iTunes gives you.
    If its not turning on, hold down the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  Then you will be asked to restore your phone in iTunes.
