I accidentally selected all of my contacts in my address book and then clicked "Merge cards." I now have one contact in my phone and address book that has a million phone numbers attached to it. Whoops! How can I get my separate contacts back?
This is terrible. I need all of these contacts back. Is there a way to revert to a previous state on my phone/icloud/computer?
IF you have backups to icloud turned on, you can reset the device and do a restore. This will first delete all on the device and restore whatever you have on the backup. IF you have backups to itunes that are recent, then you can do the same thing but restore from the itunes backup.
Otherwise, if you also have the data on a computer, then if it's no longer there, you can perform a restore of the contacts file/folder from Time Machine (for macs) or from your PC backup.
If none of the above, then without backups, I'm afraid you've lost the original data.

My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud? Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

I suppose ya. If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right?
Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it -

How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!
Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Click Time Machine
Click Options
Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format. -
I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account. -
Can anybody help me how can I get a 1000 contact numbers in an excel spreadsheet into Blackberry
Can anybody help me I have just purchased a Blackberry curve 8900 and I want to know how can I get a 1000 contact numbers in an excel spreadsheet or note pad file into my phone, is there anyway of transferring the numbers across rather than me having to do it manually one by one, thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi and welcome to the forums!
Origami?
You can transfer the excel spreadsheet in to a .csv file and import to Outlook.
Or use desktop manager (see link below)
Do you have these numbers on another device?
What version of Windows, Outlook, desktop manager etc. are you using?
Thanks,

How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks
how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks
Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
I've overwritten my Mac OS with Windows Vista, how can I get my Mac OS back
I Was downloading a Windows Vista OS on my Mac and I accidentally deleted the Mac OS. How can I get my Mac OS back? Can I use the CD's accompanied with my MAC
when I put the DVD to Install the MAC system from vista...It doesnt give an option for ordinary installtion but it gives me an option for remote installtion (which it needs an network or internet connection or something like that...) what should i do ??
:(:(You need to repartition the drive. While booted from the DVD, select Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In Disk Utility, select the boot drive from the list on the left. It will have a long name starting with the capacity in GB. Click on the Partition tab. Choose "1 Partition" as the volume scheme. Click on the Options button near the bottom of the window, then click on the button labeled "GUID Partition Table." Finally, click Apply. When the partition finishes, you can quit Disk Utility and go back to the Installer. You should now see your internal drive as available for installation.

In Yosemite, How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar at the top of the screen
In OS X Yosemite,
How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar for Safari at the top of the screen ?
Thanks,I don't see the "READER button".
I see "READ LATER" but not the "READER" function.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Please continue to HELP ME with this question.
In the previous version of Safari, there was a "READER Button" on the right side of the tool bar. This brings up the selected web page in a READER mode all by itself, without the ads, etc.
Are you saying that I can get this function by clicking on the Left side of the Address bar?
When I do that, I get lots of icons, but NOT the READER button.
Thanks -
