I need help restoring all of my pictures and infor to my phone. My ex boyfriend info started downloading on my phone and earsed all of my info
Mission accomplished. While waiting for your reply,. I found an article that mentioned a copy/paste of the following code from the old pref.js to the new pref.js:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo.position", 0);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_1.filename", "impab-1.mab");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.description", "Outlook Express Address Book");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.dirType", 2);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.OutlookExpressAddressBoo_2.filename", "impab.mab");
That identified the impab.mab file, and now all my contacts are showing.
Here is a link to the article: http://nctritech.com/thunderbird_contact_groups.php
Case closed. Thanks everyone for all your help.

Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

after downloading ios5.1.1 how do you get your music back on your ipod
Sync it from your iTunes library
Redownload iTunes purchases by

If it was not in your iTunes library and you updated via iTunes you will have to get the music again sinve synced media like apps and music are not include din the iPod backup that iTunes makes. -
Ok I can't seem to get my apps,music, or photos from my iCloud from when I first setup iCloud on a iPhone 4. How do I get my things back from the iCloud and get them to my new device?
If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll. -
The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with the photo files?
What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.
You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)? -
When I try to start iTunes, I get the message "program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computper. Try reinstalling the program." When I try reinstalling, I get the message Error 7 (Windows Error 126)
Can you help me?????Hello Charleen,
It sounds like you are unable to reinstall iTunes because of this error message 7. I recommend the troublehsooting found in the following article that mentions that error named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)”
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My Safari Icon ( Button) is missing on my iMac after I downloaded a update. How can I get the icon (Button Safari) back on my desktop and connecting again to the Internet ?...
Thanks for the helpOften when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it. -
I updated my iMac and now my Mail does not work. It says all of my accounts are"offline". Safari is fine. How do I get my accounts back online?
Hello there, Lynn.
The following Knowledge Base article explains and offers up some troubleshooting recommendations for issues with email acounts showing offline on Mac Mail:
Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925
Lightning bolt icons next to mailboxes in the Mail sidebar identify accounts that are offline.
To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
Use Connection Doctor
Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
I purchased a song almost two years ago and the song is no longer present in my library, but it is listed on itunes store as purchased.... How do I get this song back?
@caragam, if the songs are no longer in your purchase history it means either they have been hidden or the original items are no longer available for sale on the iTunes Store or you are logged into the store with a different Apple ID.
To see if they have been hidden in iTunes pull down Store > View my AppleID. Enter your password when prompted. In the middle of the screen, click "view hidden purchases." See if the purchased items are here. If they are unhide them and go back to your purchase history and re-download them.
If the purchases are not hidden and you do not have a backup then the songs are gone and there is no way to recover them. This is why we keep backups.
If you used a different Apple ID to purchase the song, log out of the store and log in with the appropriate Apple ID and download the song. Be aware this could trigger a 90 day lock out of the other store account so make sure you really, really want that song. -
I purchased the linkin park new album but one of the songs was corrupted and would not download. But, I was charged. How do i get my money back onto my itunes card?
You must contact with iTunes support, but you can redownload your songs in iTunes Store > Purchased

I need help! I no longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with many years ago and I can't remember my password anyway! However it continues to backup all my stuff. But I have no access to go in and delete items or manage my account. The pop-ups now tell me that my account is full and it will no longer be able to backup items. I would like to go in and delete items that I do not need to make room, but I can't! I have personally gone into the Apple genius store and presented the problem as well as called Apple support and talked with a live person. And no one has been able to help me. I cannot believe that I have basically lost my iCloud accessibility? I have a lot of money vested in music and priceless pictures! Please can someone help me?
I don't know what you mean by "closed" - icloud accounts stay in existence even if you disconnect all devices from the account. You can't delete them.
If you don't recall the ID or the password, and if the link above doesn't provide another way to get to the account, then you are out of luck. -
Recently I found it necessary to re-install my entire operating system, and I lost my ability to down load streaming videos. I am an artist almost 70 yrs. old, and am not very computer proficient which is why I purchased a MacBook Pro. I used Firefox/Mozilla to do downloading because it was easy. When I brought my system back up I found that the top 'Firefox banner' had changed from red, orange and yellow in color to shades of gray. With this change found that I no longer had the download 'tab' to click on to initiate downloads (located top right on the Firefox top section).
I've tried re-installing Firefox and Antbar download helper but am still not able to download. How do I get the download capability back again???? ......roxor999Your storage device is probably faulty. It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
(the music feature currently works in the US only) -
I was watching a video online yesterday on my ipad, closed the cover to move to another location when I opened the cover back up my ipad was acting funny. Now I can't get the scroll function to work and to get any of the buttons to work I need to triple tap them. Tried to reset by holding down the sleep button and the open/close buttons at the same time but all that does is alternate between a black screen and a screen with the apple logo.
If i let the battery run all the way down when I recharge will that reset the device? any other suggestions on what to do?It sounds like you had Voice Over enabled in the Accessibilty Settings. Are you are able to start the iPad now? It sounds like that is an issue as well.
This explains how to turn Voice Over off and on.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
You don't need or necessarily want to let the battery run down at all. If you let the battery run down and then recharge, that will not reset the device.
If the iPad is not responding at all, look through this for help in order to get the iPad up and running again, and then you can deal with Voice Over.
