I recently lost all of my contacts on my I phone? Anyone have a solution? And why did this happen?
I recently lost all of my contacts on my I Phone . Does anyone have a solution on how to get these back? Why did this happen?..
Also, I cannot get my Iphone calendar to show all my outlook calendar events from my PC. How to get this to work?
What were you syncing them with? They are meant to be synced with a contact manager on your computer, or a cloud service.
If you were not syncing them to anything, they're gone.

I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update. Where are they and why did this happen?
I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update. Where are they and why did this happen?
What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup. -

I updated my iphone (G3) and all the apps are now gone! What can I do and why did this happen?
Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync to? Were the apps in the iTunes library on your computer BEFORE you performed the update?

I lost most of my bookmarked websites when firefox updated a few months ago. Why did this happen?
I had many websites bookmarked and could access them several months ago on firefox. However, recent updates does not show most of my bookmarks now?
If the developers knew why ''stuff'' like that happened, they would fix the cause. Lost bookmarks is why the developers created an internal bookmark backup system 5 years ago; if a users bookmarks get lost, the user can restore a bookmarks backup file from up to 5 days before the loss happened. And because some users were too slow to seek support or were too slow to recover those backups within 5 days, the developers doubled the number of saved bookmark backups to 10 days worth in Firefox 4.0.

I lost my data, is this going to happen again? Can I. Get the documents from docs to go that I had from somewhere, I looked in my ICLOUD and they where noy saved there.
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her. -
Any ideas ?
On her iPhone, she needs to change a setting:
Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive/ Start New Conversations From:
and then select her phone number, not her e-mail.
You both should probably delete any conversations that originated from her e-mail address if you want to avoid perpetuating this confusion. -
I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC, will the contacts come back to my iPod or will the sync delete the contacts from my backup file?
The contacts are part of the backup. So restoring from a backup that has the contacts should have the contacts. Make sure that you have autosyncing turned off, otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes may overwrite the old backup with the new contents of the iPod that does not contain the contacts. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods...

I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?
Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account. -

I recently restored my itunes library and many songs imported from CD are now marked mpeg audio stream. I can't play them. Other imports are just fine. Why did this happen?

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
I recently rented a movie in itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it's not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get my money back?
Are you sure you don't have a 5G iPod video? If so, rented movies are not compatible with that particular generation/model of iPod.
Otherwise, it sounds like the rental is in HD. It should have came with a Standard Definition version instead.
