For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

I lost all my contacts on my iPhone 4S. When I connected to iTunes it automatically synced and wiped out my backup. How do I restore to a previous backup?
Do you have your contacts on your computer? You could sync those over: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

HT4847 Won't install apps but I have 5.0GB free on the cloud, how do I fix this?
I'm trying to install new apps but it says I don't have enough storage space available. I turned on the cloud and it says I have 5GB. How can I resolve this?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apps have to be stored in your device, not in iCloud, so that's the reason why your device says that you don't have enough space. Simply remove some applications, or files in Settings > General > Usage, in order to get more free space.
iCloud storage is used to make backups of your device and to store settings of your iCloud-compatible apps, but you can't install apps there -

You cannot Restore an iOS 7 Backup on to a Device running iOS 6...
Update your Device to iOS 7 and then Restore from Backup.

I have deleted contacts from my old iPhone 4 and they have also been deleted from my new iPhone 6, can they be restored?
How were you syncing contacts? If you still had the iPhone 4 connected and the 6 at the same time, then you may have made a fatal mistake. I'm guessing that you were using a cloud service for your contacts?

is it possible to retrive or download a number/contact after its been deleted from your iphone? i deleted a number about 2-3 months ago and
now i really need it back. is it possible to retrieve this number or maybe view or bring up my entire or past call log which would have this numer in it?If it's not on icloud.com any longer you can't restore it from iCloud. (Contacts are only synced to your iCloud account, and are not included in the iCloud backup.)

I just purchased an iPhone 5 and my phone has many duplicate contacts on it. I want to edit my contact list that's saved on the cloud and then replace the contacts on my phone with the edited list. I have spent hours but no success yet.
Okay
So when you edit in iCloud you are not seeing an update on your iphone?. I just did a test in iCloud.com and it changed my iPhone contact list in less than 1 second. So iCloud is functioning fine.
If you delete all the contacts on your iPhone and if you are properly synced they will all be wiped out on iCloud.....ugh! So let's not do that...
Your plan should be to make all the changes in iCloud and have them flow down to your iPhone. That sounds what you are trying to do anyway.
So. if you delete a contact in iCloud or edit a contact in iCloud then you are not seeing the changes on your iPhone?
If so then they are not properly synced..... but I wonder how you have any contacts in iCloud.
Let me know if you are seeing any changes, if mot then we can review the syncing set-up.

All my contacts have been wiped even though i saved them to icloud. Seems I have deleted them from my Mac before selling, and it deleted from the cloud, and my IPhone and IPad now have followed suit and removed all the contacts there also... How do i retrieve them!? Or are they lost now...
A friend of mine gave me some information on this when I told him what I was experiencing. If you save your details to the iCloud some time ago and the device you are using now is on a different iOS, then it will not retrieve the details properly.
I updated my old iPhone4 to iOS6.01 or whatever the latest one is and backed up the info to the iCloud. Then updated my iPhone4S to the same iOS and RESET it, switched it on and went through the setup process again and it successfully pulled the information from the iCloud to my iPhone4S. -
I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I have a handfull of songs in my library that are not showing up bold like the other songs. When I click the icon to download from the cloud nothing happens and they will not load onto my ipod. When I look for them in the purchased area they show up as purchased and downloaded.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. -
