I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)

I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version and my fan keeps coming on. I have been away for a week so it has not been used and yet when I started it up the fan started straight away. Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks

Yes, look in Activity Monitor (Applications /Utilities /Activity Monitor.app) and see what it eating up all the %CPU. If anything is over 40%, post the name here to get advice or just kill it straight away with the red 'Quit' button.
If nothing is using up CPU resources, but the fans are going full blast, do an SMC reset. Read the instructions here:

I changed my password on my phone becuase my old one became comprimised and now i cant remember it and so i cant access my phone. is there anything i can do without erasing all my data?

i changed the password on my phone and now i cant remember what it was and im locked out. is there anything i can do that doesnt erase all the data on my phone? help please..

In that case, you will have to install iTunes on the computer, put the phone into recovery mode, and restore it as a new device. It will be wiped. Everything on it will be lost.
There is no way to bypass a forgotten lock code. If there were, it wouldn't be much good.

I just downloadeId the ios 6.1 and all of my contacts disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

Assuming that you backed up prior to deleting your contacts, navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new.

I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac. All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account. Anyone have the same issue?

Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

TS4002 when I was assigned my ".me accounts.... I used the name of the company that I worked for. Then I received a iCloud account. The problem is I want to change the two original names but can't because they're greyed out. Is there anything I can do?

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

Stupidly i reset my ipod while it was updating ios6. it now wont come up when i plug it into my computer and just presents a white screen all the time. is there anything i can do?

I reset my ipod using the home and sleep buttons while my ipod was in the middle of installing ios6 it now will not respod to being connected to my computer and only presents a white screen. is there anything i can do?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Hi gene98,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.
