I lost all my contacts out of the blue.. how can i recover them??? please help
i suddenly lost all my contacts.. dont knw what happened... I read a lot of answers but did not understand how to recover.. please help
Two way:
- If they are in the calender ap/program on the computer just sync them from there back to the iPod.
- Restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that autosyncing is off otherwise, when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod without the contacts. To turnoff go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices anbd change the box that says: Prevent iPods....syncing".

The problem originated from Talktalk's Assist & Go software interfering with my browser settings. This caused Firefox to repeatedly crash with message (see below)I then got error "ssl_error_ssl_disabled" when trying to access my webmail- I followed the help instructions and deleted the cert8.db file whcih allowed Firefox to start & me to access my webmail.
But all the browsing history has disappeared, I had about 6 months prior to the crash, how can I recover it, is there a backup?The problem originated from Talktalk's Assist & Go software interfering with my browser settings.

HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?
All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?
joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

Hope this helps,

Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?
When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

Since I upgraded to Elements 13, I have lost all my filters from 3rd party. How can I install them in version 13 that still are installed in version 11 and 12?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

got new mac, all songs purchased on the former one are no longer in the library - how can I get them, please? thx
They aren't there because you didn't transfer them.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
In future do not rely upon being able to download again. The policy could be discontinued without notice and then you'd be in a mess. Even now you still can't redownload everything. Transfer properly next time and make backups. -
After the itunes made the last update of IOS version, all the musics I had and the playlists I created, dissapeared from the itunes.
Can i recover them from the Iphone?Did you mean update to iTunes?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

i updated my phone and have lost all my contacts i have restored and all my apps are back but no contacts! help!
What application were you syncing your contact to before you updated? Check the settings on the info tab and sync them back.
If you were NOT syncing them to an application (Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, Address Book on a Mac), you can try forcing a restore from your backup again. If they don't come back, they are most likely gone. -

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device. -

I have lost all my music in my itunes library, how can i recover my music?
how can i recover my itunes library after it has been deleted?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

For the second time in two weeks, my Iphone 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers still remain without any of the names, What is causing this to happen?
1. I assume that that suggests that it is not normal for a browser window to respond with minimisation? It is just weird when a window just disappears, no reason given (and since there is no obvious loss of internet it can take you by chance)
2. Good that you ask. No, it hasn't. I meant to say when I first posted.
3. Thanks, I gather that. It is just that Mavericks is so different from what I am used to. Sigh...
4. It has calmed down but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. Forgot to mention that I had my first ever crash of Final Cut Pro since I have been using it nearly daily for four years. I even had Chrome crash on me in mid-upload (drat, drat, drat!). I don't click or plough on- I stop, think and consider. Hence me posting. Mavericks is just not as "smooth" as Snow Leopard to me.
5. Yes, I understand. I just wish it would show me both instead of just the one with the "1".
Tell me about it! It is impossible, I came here to answer via the link in the emailed notification, was already signed out and signed in and was returned to the front page. Had to go back to my Mail, click the link again and this time, luckily, I was signed in. In other words- the session is impossibly short and signing in doesn't return you to the browser window you were but rather returns you to the front. Meh.
