I have an iphone4S when i first got it everything was fine, my husband accidentally erased my mail and contacts from apple account and now ive lost 500 or so contacts how do i retrieve my contacts step by step please.

Hi guys,
I bought a Ipad, Iphone and an Imac all at once, learning it is a bit overwhelming. so in practicing my husband removed what he thought were defunct accounts that apple had automatically on the phone. When he did so all the contacts from my iphone disappeared. I do not know how to retrieve my accounts, nor to be able to restore my lost contacts, over 500.
If you guys can help with restoring the lost accounts, that be great, and also step by step restore my contacts to my iphone.

thank you guys i have worked out this little number. becausse i didnt want to lose any old data, i didnt ohoose to go through the steps to wipe Icloud. I prayed the old data was still there and backed up my data from icloud.
In 30 mins or so, checked it and it was all there!
Many thanks for answering my queries. you rock!

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

I have just moved my site to Rage. Everything was fine until one of my Album pages would not publish. Any suggestions?

I am constantly getting an alert on my iPhone to enter my Apple ID password. I enter the password that I have always used when I first got my iPhone 4. Why is this?

I am constantly getting an alert on my iPhone to enter my Apple ID password for iCloud. I have been getting this since I got my iPad Air. I enter my Apple ID password and I get an alert that the password I entered is incorrect. Why is this happening? I have used the same password since I first purchased my iPhone.

I accidentally erased all my text messages from a person and I don't have icloud on - is there a way to retrieve my messages?

I accidentally erased messages from one person on my IPhone 4. I had icloud deactivated and i haven't backed up my phone in a long time. Is there any way to retrieve my lost messages??

No.

I have a 5th generation IPod touch, and today when i turned it on everything was fine. Then suddenly the screen froze and changed colors and lines started coming from the sides of the Ipod until the reached the middle. Now it won't turn back on.

I tried restarting it by using just the power on button at first. Once that failed I held the power and home buttom for ten sconds and that didn't work. I then plugged in the ipod to see if it needed charged, and repeated the same two steps at before but to no avail. Finally, I opened up itunes and plugged my ipod in, but nothing came up. I then tried to turn it on for a third time, but nothing happened. I just confused on what happened. Could it be a bad display, or did the whole thing just die on me? Help please.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I downloaded Mozilla when I first got my Mac.Is it a better than Safari?I tried Safari and I did not care for it. So can I still use cmd t or cmd n for opening multiple sites?

I downloaded Mozilla firefox when I first got my mac as I did not like safari.Thah being said,which is better? and lastly can I still use cmd t or cmd with firefox for opening multiple sites? Thanks,Ralph

You need to visit this page and learn all about Firefox's awesome features, don't ignore the add-ons, toolbar>customize or persona's they really personalize Firefox.

Also you need to make sure your browser plugins are current for your whole machine, Safari included.

I hope one day Apple will make Safari as awesome as Firefox and allow the choice it has, but not today.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted Face Time and I said no. Now I would like to have it. How do I do that. It is not currently available on my phone.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted face time and I said no. Now I want it and would like to know how to do it. Friends who have it say it should already be on my phone.

FaceTime is part of the OS. I don't understand why you would be asked that question. The only phones that do NOT have facetime are those intended for some countries in the Middle East where it is illegal. Facetime has been removed from those phones and can not be added back.
Where did you get the phone?

Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7. I'm sure it did when I first got my computer. Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.

I have new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air without any problems.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

My new (2 months old) 5s fingerprint recognition sensor does not work. It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone.

It worked well when I first got it but now to get it to work I have to redo my fingerprints every few days, which completely negates the convenience and cost of the phone. I have tried all the tips and they help a little but it always stops working and I have to redo my fingerprints. Does Apple read these comments? Is there an app that might help?

Apple does not read here.

I also have iPhone 5s on day one and it's working since. When it's not registering, I just clean the Home button and it works straight away.
Did you try when registering fingerprint using all angles? It should learn the more you use it.
Did you clean the sensor with a soft cloth?

The sound was working when I first got it but something happened and I can't listen to iTunes, DVDs or audiobooks.

I'm having problems with the sound on my iPad - it was working when I first got it but something happened and I couldn't find anything in sound under settings. Anyone have any ideas about what to do?

Maybe you have muted your iPad. The button above the volume up and down on the upper right hand side can either be programmed to Mute or Lock Orientation. See if you have it programmed to Mute.
Also check control center. On your home page, swipe up from the bottom of your iPad screen and control center opens. There's a sound icon in a circle, which could be on. Tap it to see if you're muted there.
