HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account. First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point). The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working. However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear. Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that? Or any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts. (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.) Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

Ever since the last Firefox upgrade installed, when I go to Wikipedia most, but not all, of the links and titles (books, movies, songs, etc.)are in something that looks like Zapf Chancery font. It is very difficult to read... how do i change it?

It never looked like that before. The cursive font shows up on every page of wikipedia, only when I use Firefox as my browser. I have gone to the same site on Safari and it is fine there. I have emptied my cache to no avail.

Thanks for your help. I followed your link to a similar question/reply and just decided to deactivate the Zapfino font. It fixed that part of the problem but there is still some smaller type in a different cursive font (Apple Chancery like but that's not it). Can't figure out what it is in order to disable it but i think I can at least live with that one.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

Outlook and Treo 700 wx are missing most, but not all, of my calendar entries

I am running Windows XP and Outlook 2003 (SP3). I have a Treo 700 wx with service from Verizon. I normally sync via USB using ActiveSync. A few days ago I noticed that most, but not all of my calendar entries were missing. I am missing 99% of my future appointments, which of course is my big concern. I am not missing too many historical appointments (at least starting 1 month ago). I have synced the same way for years without a problem. I did try to set up Wireless Sync via Verison about a week ago. I called Verizon support to see if I somehow screwed up my calendar in the process of trying to set up Wireless Sync, and they said I never succeeded in setting it up (which I suspected), so they don't think that was the problem. Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong and how I get my future appointments back?

My iPhone5 has lost some, but not all messages. How can I retrieve them? I did try to reset, but it did not work.

An iPhone cannot "dump" or "lose" those features.
They can be turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions or blocked by an Exchange Admin when an Exchange profile is loaded.

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

It does not. It has listed :ATX Connector 24 (20+4) Pin X 1 PC, P4-12V 4 Pin X 1 PC, SATA 15 Pin X 2PC, IDE/Molex 4 Pin X 6
You need something with 2x PCI Express 6 pin connectors.
If you have enough 4 pin connectors left over after hooking up the rest of your computer this might still work though, if you use some adapters. They require two 4 pin connectors to power one 6 pin. I recommend looking inside your computer and figuring out which connectors you will need.

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

Officejet 6500A Plus Suddenly only prints red for most but not all occasions.

In the middle of printing a report it switched to RED ink. I bought and replaced black cartridge... though it still had ink. (NO SUCCESS) It prints BLACK for copies, for documents on Pages (I Mac) and from wife's laptop that is connected. SOMETIMES IT PRINTS BLACK when I click on PDF and Print.... but not all the time. It ALWAYS PRINTS RED when I print an e mail. No TROUBLESHOOTING suggestions seem to fit this irregular problem

PDF's are typically send to the printer as graphics, which may cause them to be printed with the color cartridge rather than black. If your cyan cartridge is low (or not working) the print will appear red. To address cyan not printing properly the document here may help.
Depending on your OS you may be able to set the printer to print in Grayscale and Black ink only.

Extract all "business fax" phone numbers from all users contacts and public folders

Hello,
I'm looking for any method to be able to extract "business fax" phone numbers from every user's contact list and public folders contacts.
Is this possible, perhaps with PowerShell?
We are using Exchange 2010, but this forum posting site only lets me choose Exchange 2013.   Is Exchange 2010 still supported?

I recevied a reply from the Script Center, telling me to post in the Exchange Developer forums.
From the Exchange Developer forums I received replies that basically told me I need to figure this out myself and they are not a free consulting service.   Here are the exact words....
Reply:
You need to understand that either you have to try to learn Exchange and scripting or you need to search for solutions.
In most cases with EX2010 there are many utilities build into the EMS that can do almost anything you need however, you need to learn Exchange to be able to even know what to ask for, This is not a free consulting forum. It is a forum for
professionals who use scripting in their work or who are currently learning how to use scripts.
If you are basically versed in Exchange you wil know that the EX2010 home site has all of the resource links. You should always start there.
You need to either get a good book on Exchange administration or sign up for a class in Exchange. It is not possible to guess at how to manage an Exchange installation. Exchange is one of the most complex system Microsoft has ever created.
It may even be more complex that MSSQLServer. You must be trained at some minimum level to work effectively with Exchange.

Missing (most, but not all) masters from managed project

I just found that I have a one project in my library where most of the raw master files (NEF) are missing. The project contains 160 photos, but only 14 masters are present and these are randomly distributed in the project (not sequential files). My entire library is managed (not referenced). All photos were imported at one time.
All the edited versions appear in the browser with no problem, including the "full" version and the Quick Preview ("P"). Oddly, when I press "M" to view the master image, it displays correctly with no adjustments, but the message "Master Image not Found" appears where it would normally say "Master Image." I only noticed the masters were missing when I tried to export a version and got the follwing message:
"Versions with unavailable master files cannot be exported. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."
I searched in the library and vaults for original the filenames, but they do not exist in either location. If all the masters were missing, I would have concluded that I imported that project as a referenced file and later deleted the masters, but 14 of the 160 are still there.
I have two questions:
First, does anyone have any idea how the master files could be deleted so I can avoid this in the future? I am beginning to think this is simply a corruption of the database (not reassuring).
Second, is there any way to recover the versions that clearly exist in the project so I can reimport these as masters? While viewing them in the browser, I can zoom in to the original resolution on both the master and the edited version, but can't perform any further edits to the image (although I can add metadata). I'd be happy to retrieve a JPEG version, even though it appears I have lost the original raw file.
By the way, I have already performed all three library repair options on Aperture launch (Repair Permissions, Repair Database and Rebuild Database).
Thanks for any help,
Dave

From the OP's other thread:
I have three vaults (on three HDs) backing up one Aperture library (two onsite and one for offsite backup). Two of the vaults simultaneously became corrupted and I could no longer back up to them.
That plus the live library seems like 3 to me.
You wrote:
With managed-Masters one can back up a broken Library to a dozen perfect drives and all that results is a dozen identically broken Libraries.
Which is why backing up without verify the backup is a meaningless exercise. This goes for any backup method, How do you know your TM or CCC backup or simple copy of your masters is good?
If the Masters are backed up prior to Aperture the problem resolves (versions still lost).
And this is true also for managed libraries.
If (backed up) Referenced Masters are used and the Library becomes corrupt the problem resolves (versions still lost).
Not sure what you are trying to say here.
Proper use of Vaults also save Versions, but only prior to the time that the Library became corrupted - and we do not necessarily know the instant a Library becomes corrupt.
Proper use of vaults also saves masters if the library is managed. Ans see above for why we verify backups.
Look I agree that the masters need to be backed up in other than the vault (or TM or CCC or any one place). I use the Aperture backup dialog in the input window:
But once the masteres are backed-up referenced masters has no inherent saftey advantage over managed masters. In fact if all you do is backup before import and then place the masters on their own disk they are slightly less secure as they are only in two places.
In my operation I have my masters in three places, the import backup location the library and the vault I create from that library. In fact I have multiple vaults so in fact I have my masters in a minimum of 5 places. And its all fairly transparent.
So continue to sing the praise of referenced masters, for some and in some situations they are the way to go But from a security standpoint they have no advantage over managed masters.

Most but not all iCalendar History has Gone

iPhone 5 (iOS6) has about 10 calenders on it.
Various Macs subscribe to all or 1 or 2 of these claendars = OK (Even those on different accounts.)
iPhone 4S (iOS7) subscribes to all of these, but as of a few days ago, suddenly almost all events before Apr 7, 2104 have disappeared.
Strangely 8 events back to Mar 29, 2013 survive (they are from 3 different shared calenders). There should be several events per day back to Oct 1, 2012.
As far as we can tell all events after Apr 7, 2014 and those in the future survive.
The iPhone4S does not have licence to edit the events that it views.
I have tried plugging it into a Mac, going to iTunes and synchronising - no change.
I am reluctant to Restore as (I assume) many other things will be rest.
Thanks in advance for help. Nic

You are correct. Ideally, it should not have happened but these things sometimes happen. As with any OS update, it is always recommended you backup before updating. Things can go wrong and others have experienced more severe issues after updating.
MISSING DOTS
I have just realised that even though there are events on a day and they can be seen, the dots do not appear under the days in calender view before 25/2/13 (on the iPhone5) but they do on the iPhone4S.
It most likely has not refreshed to show your changes yet. Quit the Calendar app (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up) then relaunch it.
