HT1766 How do I restore my contacts etc lost after being forced to restore?

My MacBook stopped recognising my iPhone and I was forced to restore the software. My iPhone is now updated but I have lost all of my contacts, emails, sms, photos etc. Help! How do I get them back?

Hi b_adkison - Updates are meant to bring a great new device experience! I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. If the information had not been previously backed up there would be no way to restore it.

You can't, there is no connection between the services, use one or the other.

How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
* also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

I share an itunes acc with 3 family members, how do i manage apps, contacts etc

Hi. Please help. We have 1 itunes account and 3 iphones and an ipod. 1 iphone is new and I need to transfer all contacts, apps, photos, messages etc to the new phone an restore the old one.
I want to ensure that everything I have on my iphone is backed up and transferred to my new one. I thought simply plugging it in and syncing was enough, but when I look on the apps on iphone it asks if I want to sync to Outlook, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book or Yahoo address book. I don't know which one to choose, I just thought it all backed up to itunes.
Obviously I'm not very up on all this so any advice would be great.
Also if you have any advice on how to manage multiple devices on 1 itunes acc, ie, keeping apps, contacts etc separate, I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks

How to migrate Outlook emails, contacts etc to Thunderbird in an other PC without Outlook.

I am upgrading to a new PC and many changes take place at the same time. The old PC with Outlook and 2 GB of emails is still working (somehow). In the new PC there is no Outlook present. How to move the email, contacts, (calendar) to the new PC with Thunderbird as email application.
The instructions on your web let me understand that I need to have Outlook on the new PC to do the moves of emails. It does not offer other alternatives. If it helps I can copy the Outlook *.pst files to the new PC (but where and what happens next?). I have no possibility to install outlook on the new PC without buying a new program!

Why not install Thunderbird on the older computer and migrate the mails there, then copy the profile to the new computer?

Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.
