  • I upgraded to Yosemite and now have lost my address book. Is there any way to retrieve the information it contained?

    There is nothing in the contact app and the backup seems to have disappeared, too.

  • Since "upgrading" to OS X Lion Outlook 2011 sync services appear not to work and I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    Sync Services in Outlook 2011 appear not to work in OS X Lion as I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    I had all my contacts deleted one day from muy address book.   The Apple folks said that at times when MS Office sends an update it moves all your contacts from the address book to Outlook contacts.  I had to get into Time Machine to restore my contacts in the address book. 
    If you do this, be sure to update each group, not just the all contacts group because pulling up all contacts will not restore the contacts to the groups you had.
    If you sync with Moble Me, be careful to replace what is on Mobile Me with what is on your comptuer after you are finished restoring the contacts to your satisfaction.
    I haven't switched to iCloud yet so I can't talk about syncing to it.

  • While doing the backup via iTune, my contacts in iPhone AND iPad have been completely wiped out. They are still all available on my Address Book on my Mac. Any idea what happened and how to resolve this ?

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

    Camera Roll is missing. I have lost the Camera Roll section in Photos. Any idea how I can restore Camera Roll .  I am using an iPad 3 with OS 6.01 Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help.
    I have discovered that Camera Roll reappeared when I took a pic using my iPad camera.
    Previously I had not done that. Stupid me.
    Your attempt to help me is much appreciated.

  • I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

    can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
    So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
    It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
    Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
    The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

  • I have lost my address-book from my iphone5.

    i have lost my contacts from my iphone. i have a feeling i had deleted them from the address book of my Mac book. now when i try to restore the contacts from the backup I had taken on my macbook the contacts are restored but in 30-45mins they disappear

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • When forwarding an e-mail I have lost the address book contact list on the left side.

    I used to have the address book contact list on the left side of the page being forwarded to allow easy selection of addressees. It's gone and I need it back.
    Thank you very much

    Open a Write window and press F9 to toggle the Contact Sidebar on and off.
    You can also turn it on from the View menu in the Write window.

  • HT4623 I have lost my iphone yesterday after updating to os6.. I have no idea whether i have signed in using my apple id when the device lost.. Please let me know any chances of locating the same using the apple id or imei no in India

    I have lost my Iphone3GS duly uploaded with ios6.  I have no idea whether I have logged into icloud in the device when I lost this.  Can any body tell me any chance to located my lost device using IMEI no or other means.   my alternate mobile no is 09004411488.  I am a resident of Mumbai, India

    If you did not activate the Find my Phone feature before your phone was lost, then there's no way to track it. 
    You need to notify your carrier so that they can disable your SIM.  That's really all you can do.

    When is this going to be fixed?

  • Our InDesign seems to have lost the ability to open/edit PDFs. Any idea on why this might have happened or how to fix it?

    We had to install InDesign CS6 recently on a Windows 8 machine and after using the program successfully for a few days/weeks the user noted that she can no longer open/edit PDFs. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how I can fix it. If I uninstall and re-install the program will I be able to use my existing license?

    InDesign has never been able to open or edit PDFs. Illustrator can do it, after a fashion, but unless the PDF was created in Illustrator, and contain the original Illustrator file information, it's not a great idea.
    PDF was designed as an end-format, and is not really intended for further editing.

  • HT4059 I just downloaded IOS 7.0.2, and I can't open the books in iBooks...any ideas?

    I just downloaded 7.0.2 to my IPad. When I open my iBooks, I can't get my books to download...any ideas?

    Okay... try this...
    Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try downloading again.
    If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
    Hope this answers your question!
