I keep losing some of my contacts. I put them in and they disappear. Help.

I have a few thoughts that you may consider:
First - How many Contact Groups do you have? Go to Contacts - Look at the top of your screen. Does it say 'All Contacts'? If you have more than one Contact Group, you'll see an option button in the upper left corner that says Groups. This means that you have more than one - press the Groups button - the screen scrolls & you'll see all the Contact Groups you have. To see contacts for a specific group, press that option - or press All Contacts to view all that are stored on your phone/email/iCloud, etc.
Second - If you don't have a computer to host your iTunes account, it sounds like you need to be sure you've activated iCloud, and that "Contacts" is turned "ON" - Go to "Settings" - "iCloud" - "Contacts". It'll walk you through the basic set up, and you can choose which information you wish to have backup to iCloud - contacts, mail, calendars, apps, photos, etc. You get 5.0GB free; and the option to purchase additional space if needed.
I hope this is helpful to you. I know transitioning can be painful and confusing.

Icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back and they leave again. How can I keep them on the dock?

icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back, and they leave again. How do I keep them on the dock?

Did you request that they be left in the Dock? To do this you activate the application and its icon will be in the Dock, click and hold on it, a pop-up menu will show near the icon and in it will be a menu with "Option" in it. Click on "Option" and you will find an item that will say "Keep In Dock", click on it and the icon will stay in the Dock. If you have done all this and the icon still goes away someone else will have to help you.

Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

When an app is downloaded to your phone what is downloading is an installer. Once the installer downloads in installs the app and then is deleted. You can see a reference to this if you watch the App's icon in the App Store after you tap on download. It will first say downloading then that will change to installing. The amount of free space on your phone must be enough to accommodate the installer and the app plus have some left over for system work. You're just too close to the minimum for everything to work.

I am losing some of my contacts entered beyond a certain date repeatedly and automatically. I tried to disable sync with iCloud, but it didn't help. Please help me

I am losing some of my contacts entered beyond a certain date repeatedly and automatically. I tried to disable sync with iCloud, but it didn't help. Please help me. I use an iPhone 5s with the latest software version.

I understand now that apple forums do not work and are a waste of time

Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me. They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I guess you mean unlock the device. To lock it would mean to be possible to se it only with one carrier.
So no, unlocking the device must be done by the original carrier, you should contact them to do that.

That depends on what you mean. If you mean two iTunes Store accounts, no. Only one Apple ID can be logged into the iTunes Store at a time and if automatic download, iTunes Match or re-downloading of content is used the ID can not be changed for 90 days.

But i have a question here in that case what happens to all the applications that have been purchased on my Id ? Wont i be needing them to be purchased/downloaded again in the new id?
If you previously had been using the same Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases for both of you there is no reason to change what you've been doing. If this is your wife's first iPhone, and you want to share the iTunes Store account just don't use the new Apple ID you created. As long as there are no purchases on it there's nothing to worry about.

Can you help. I have been playing Modern War for some time, but for the first time i purchased a money item for the game. Unfortunately the item was never received. I have contacted funzio the games creators and they have told me i need to contact Itunes direct. Is that correct

You can contact iTunes support via this page and see if they can help (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

If you erase the hard disk and you install a new Mac OS X copy, Time Machine will start a new backup and will stop using all backups you made in the past.
One option you have is to reinstall Mac OS X and restore a Time Machine backup, but restoring only some files: for example, instead of restoring everything, restore only your user files, and not your applications, so you will have more free space. Also, doing this, Time Machine will continue backing up to your old backup, because Time Machine will detect that you have "the same computer with the same files and the same Mac OS X version", but it's not.
If you have more questions about Time Machine, see this site > http://pondini.org

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

Some excel items have appeared on my desktop and they cannot be deleted, does anyone have any idea on this?

Hi, cannot drag to trash, get a message saying the item cant be moved to trash because it cant be deleted. I really dont know what theses are. The icon shows as excel but they are certainly not filenames I have used. I cant open them either and they dont show in finder under desktop but they are clearly sitting there!

Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to sign in to my iCloud account. It tells me it recognises my Apple account but it isn't my cloud account. Please keep answers simple as I've looked at other responses and they completely lose me.

Simple I was led to believe I could store stuff in iCloud without the need for a Mac thereby making space on my laptop. You live and learn.
You can, iPhones/iPads and Macs work, as do PC's once there is an open account.
This is typical Apple to be honest. The only reason I use iTunes is for my iPod. Perhaps I need to find another mp3 player.
You do not need iCloud for iTunes, I am sorry that you misunderstand but iCloud and iTunes do not require each other.
I'm certainly not paying the inflated prices that Apple charge for their laptops that are quite frankly no better than my Dell.
I've had Dells, they are worth what you pay, no more.

TS4050 I keep losing most of my contacts from all my devices. I enter new ones and the next morning they are gone again on all my devices, iPad Mac and iPhone 4s

I had 874 contacts yesterday and they were all synchronized with all my other Mac products. This morning only 134 are left on all devices. I entered another 34 more entries into the iCloud contacts and they synchronized with all the devices and this morning they are all gone and back to 134 yet again.
Anyone any ideas.

Thank you - I have done this now but resetting and restoring from another device didn't really help. However, syncing via iTunes was a bit more successful as it occurred to me that many of my contacts are in MS Outlook on my PC and I was able to copy them over. There are still some contacts missing and I am continuing to try and figure out where they originate from to try and get them to show up.
