I downloaded the new OS, and my contacts have disappeared. How do I restore them?

I was not backup on icloud or my macbook.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

I just downloaded the new itunes and i cant figure out how to update the apps on my iphone when im on my computer?

I just downloaded the latest itunes and i cant figure out how to update my iphone apps on my computer now. I go to the toolbar on the top and press search for updates and it tells me that the latest version of itunes is already downloaded or that there are no updates available at this time. Previously, i would be able to go to the apps page on itunes and then press search for updates and then download all. Then I would sync with my phone and both phone and computer would be updated. Now I can only update on the phone and I know Im going to encounter where it tells me the info for downloading is too large to do it on your phone, hence my first question.....where do I go to update my apps on my computer????

While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates.
Clicking on each of these gives you a different view.
When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
Hope this helps.

My contacts have disappeared; how do I get them back?

2 days ago, when I returned to "mail" from contacts, my access to contacts had disappeared from my menu, and I can't get back to contacts. I want it back. Thank you.

It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong. They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in. To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

My task bar and start menu have disappeared how do I recovery them?

The task bar has disappeared on my HP Touchsmart 610-1280qd. I have searched at all of the edges like suggested but mothing showed up. Any suggestions?

Hi Alburko,
A good place to start to learn about how Windows 8.1 works is the Learning How to Use Windows 8 Features and Apps HP Support document.
In Windows 8.1, there is no taskbar on the Start screen, but there is on the desktop. Click the Desktop tile on the Start screen, and it will take you to the desktop, which will look a lot like previous Windows operating systems. The desktop has a taskbar and a Start button, which is in the lower-left corner, but the Start button works differently. When you left-click, it takes you to the Start screen or the last app used. When you right-click, you get a list of commonly used options.
A good way to search for anything, either on the desktop or the Start screen, is to press the Windows + Q keys, type the thing you are searching for into the search field, and select it from the list of results.
The Start button is back in Windows 8.1, but keep in mind that the entire Start screen is a lot like the old Start button in Windows 7. Click the tiles to get the programs and apps that you want to use. To get the Start button on the Start screen, hover over the lower-left corner until it appears, or right-click in the lower-left corner to get a menu of options such as Control Panel or Task Manager.
The easiest option: Simply type the name of what ever you need on the Start screen. This will open the Search charm, with a list of search results. Click whatever you are searching for.

I downloaded the new maverick and now i can't open iPhoto and can't install the new version. Help?

Iphoto has a circle with line through it. its iPhoto 9.2.3. I go to the app store and try and download the new version and i get these windows. if someone can help that would be great. also i had problems installing maverick I'm backing up my hard drive and going to try and reinstall maverick but i dont know what else to do i have all my daughters baby photos on there. is there anyway i can transfer my library to a different app and open it that way???

The error message means, that a different AppleID has been used to buy iPhoto '11 or to accept it to the AppleID, when the Mac first has been set up.
If you are now using a different AppleID then the one you used, when you set up your Mac, launch the App Store and sing into the AppStore with the old AppleID (in the "Store" menu).
If your Mac has been set up by someone else, ask this person to sign into the AppStore and update iPhoto for you. If you bought the Mac second hand and cannot contact the previous owner, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder and buy it using your AppleID.
If none of this applies, and you bought the Mac as new, and never used a different AppleID, contact the store that sold you the Mac. They may have sold you a refurbished Mac, with the iLife apps still tied to a different AppleID.

HT4623 I started to download the new software and had to stop in between. I started it back up again and my phone now has a picture connecting to itunes. The phone will not let me do anything else what do i do

I started to download the new software and had to stop halfway. I started to finish it later this evening and then while it was doing that it went to a black screen saying to connect to itunes. What do I do?

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

My Mozzilla crashed: "We're Sorry....Firefox had a problem..." I download the new version and it is still giving me the crash report.

I tried to loading in "safe mode" but I still could not open Firefox.
I never received a crash i.d.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Now what?

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad: File>Transfer Purchases

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
Does "shut down" mean it crashes? Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

So I download the new iTunes and now...

So I download the new iTunes and now if I go to the iTunes store, I can't seem to get back to my music. Does anyone know how to do this without having to close iTunes and re-open it - which is a silly way to have to do things. Has anyone else noticed that the more successful Apple gets, the harder it is to follow the logic of their software? Is it all the new developers who have forgotten how to write stuff that people over 25 years old used to use Mac? It is driving me mildly crazy.

Yes at the top right is a button labelled Library. This will close Itunes Store and take you back to your music.
Sone other tips are
Enable the sidebar by view Show Sidebar - makes it more like itunes 10
Enable Staus Bar to see inf about your songs etc at the bottom
