HT4859 My yahoo account was hacked. I lost all my contacts and my folders. Is there a way to get them back through icloud since I back all that up there?

How do I go back to the date my email account was hacked and retrieve my information?

Where is your basic address book? On Yahoo? Or outlook? Check those two. If are in Yahoo try to export from there and import to outlook. Then close contact syncing on emails account in your iPhone and sync through iTunes. Omes you have your contacts in iPhone open Contacts in iCloud settings (iPhone) and look if its syncs. If yes uncheck Contacts syncing in iTunes (under info tab) and keep syncing through iCloud.

  • My yahoo account was hacked.  I changed the password and now cannot send email from any apple device. I have deleted mail and reinstalled it and it still doesn't wok.  I get " sending the message to server failed" help!

    I have tried everything and get this same error message on my iPhone and iPad.  Yahoo account works fine on pc.  I can receive emails and use Internet on apple devices but cannot send mail.  Thanks.

  • Passing down an iPhone to my child (who is under 13).  Is there a way to get them their own icloud account for iMessage / FaceTime?

    I recently purchased the iPhone & i would like to pass down my iPhone to my daughter (who is 8) so that we can iMessage & FaceTime.  I intend on having my AppleID on the phone, so i can restrict purchases from iTunes & the App store.  Any suggestions on how to get an iCloud account for her, even though she is under 13?

    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • My yahoo account was hacked and ipad does not respond

    My yahoo account was hacked and cannot get my ipad to accept my account again and new password

    The money was stolen off of gift cards stored on my itunes account, and I did close the card on the account. I have changed my infortiona security wide but kept the rest of the changes they made to my account as proof. It has indeed been 48 hours since I conta cted them, and still no response. Also on this forum others have reported the same thing happening. Very sad I cannot even call Itunes about this. Thanks for your response.

  • I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

    I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.  Help!!

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • I downloaded IOS5 but lost my calendar entries. Is there a way to get them back?

    I downloaded IOS5 on my iphone 4 but lost my calendar entries.  Is there a way to get them back?  I did back up info on my Mac.

    Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
    If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage when I thought I was syncing correctly I wasn't so I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? 

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

  • After the most recent update my phone was restored to factory settings.... and all of my pictures are gone! Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    After the most recent software update  my phone was restored to the factory settings and all of my photos were lost.... Is there any way to get them back??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Photos are meant to be uploaded to your computer for archival and storage.  Certainly before doing something as major as a software update, you've done this, correct?  In this case, your photos should be residing safely on your computer and you can just synch them back.

  • My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

  • Since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

    since the upgrade to ios7.1.1 I have lost my ringtones. Is there a way of getting them back from my itunes accout since I've already paid for it?

    Yes, go to your 'iTunes Store' app on your iPhone or whatever device you lost them on, then go to the 'more' tab, and choose 'purchased', then find your ringtones that you wanted and redownload them, you won't need to repay for them.
    Hope this helps :)
    Happy hunting :)

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    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

    i have lost my iphone and i had a lot of purchased songs on it, is there a way to get them back ?

    The good news, if you purchased the music in iTunes, it is linked to your apple id.  You can re-download the content at no additional charge (as long as it is still available in the iTunes store).

    just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?

    You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
    If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
