Icloud replaced all my contacts with a stranger's contacts?

Hi there,
I woke up this morning and tried to make a call from my one week old iPhone 5c to find that all my contacts have been replaced by a stranger's contacts. I tried restoring a backup, logging on to icloud.com and deleting saved contacts, and the stranger's contacts remain.
Any idea what else I can do?
Please help!
Thanks,
Bridget

Someone hacked into your iCloud account. Change your iCoud password. If you use the same ID/password for your iTunes account, change that too.

Hi Suzy Q,
I can send and receive calls.
I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
It runs slow.
I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
I get a black screen on occasion.
sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

Messages has replaced all my text with a load of letter A's in boxes. What is that all about. When I type a new one it is fine until I hit enter then the same thing applies. Has anyone a fix for this?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Preprocessing xml to replace all xpath references with the referred elements

Hi,
Is it possible to sort of pre-process xml before querying such as we replace all internal xpath references with the referred elements?
So below is the xml and as we see the typeId element of second app.test.module.library.Publisher element refers to the typeId element in the first app.test.module.library.Publisher element through xpath reference . Seems this is done by XStream(which we
use for xml-java) to reduce the size of resulting xml. This is all fine and in java one can easily traverse through such xpath references, but the challenge i am facing is in sql where i use node() function to get each of app.test.module.library.Publisher
element and fetch value of selectedText element of both the children of app.test.module.library.Publisher - (typeId, regionCode).
declare @publishers xml
set @publishers = '
<publishers>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <typeId>
      <selectedId>101</selectedId>
      <selectedText>Book</selectedText>
    </typeId>
    <regionCode>
      <selectedId>102</selectedId>
      <selectedText>NWD</selectedText>
    </regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <typeId reference="../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId" />
    <regionCode>
      <selectedId>101</selectedId>
      <selectedText>UWY</selectedText>
    </regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>
    <typeId>
      <selectedId>100</selectedId>
      <selectedText>Deposit</selectedText>
    </typeId>
    <regionCode>
      <selectedId>100</selectedId>
      <selectedText>WHU</selectedText>
    </regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
</publishers>';
select typeId = el.e.value('(typeId/selectedText)[1]','varchar(max)')
      ,regionCode = el.e.value('(regionCode/selectedText)[1]','varchar(max)')
from @publishers.nodes('/publishers/app.test.module.library.Publisher') as el(e)
If you execute this, the second typeId value will be null but ideally I should be able to reach to the reference, which is typeId of first app.test.module.library.Publisher element and should be able to fetch selectedText of it, which is correct value (Book).
In other words first two app.test.module.library.Publisher elements are of same type (Book).
Since I am not able to find the way to do it, I thought I should have some way to process this xml to replace all such references with the referred element and that will eliminate the need to go for tedious xpath reference based access.
Thanks

I was able to get a result using dynamic SQL, but my guess is if you have more complicated examples it probably won't work. I also make an assumption you know the full path of the first reference you want. Anyway, try this:
DECLARE @xml XML = '<publishers>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<typeId>
<selectedId>101</selectedId>
<selectedText>Book</selectedText>
</typeId>
<regionCode>
<selectedId>102</selectedId>
<selectedText>NWD</selectedText>
</regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>

<typeId reference="../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId" />
<regionCode>
<selectedId>101</selectedId>
<selectedText>UWY</selectedText>
</regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<app.test.module.library.Publisher>
<typeId>
<selectedId>100</selectedId>
<selectedText>Deposit</selectedText>
</typeId>
<regionCode>
<selectedId>100</selectedId>
<selectedText>WHU</selectedText>
</regionCode>
</app.test.module.library.Publisher>
</publishers>'
-- So you basically need to create and execute this string;
-- but how do you work out the first bit of the string ?
--SELECT @xml.query('(publishers/app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId/../../app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId)[1]');
DECLARE @fullPath NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'publishers/app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId/@reference' -- the full path of the reference
DECLARE @shortPath NVARCHAR(MAX) = LEFT( @fullPath, CHARINDEX( '@', @fullPath ) - 1 ) -- full path without attribute name
IF @shortPath IS NULL
RAISERROR ( 'Unable to get @shortPath.', 16, 1 )
-- Start processing the XML
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX), @reference NVARCHAR(MAX)
-- Extract the reference
SET @reference = @xml.value('(publishers/app.test.module.library.Publisher/typeId/@reference)[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
-- Construct the sql
SET @sql = 'SELECT @xml.query(''(' + @shortPath + @reference + ')[1]'')'
-- Execute the SQL
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@sql NVARCHAR(MAX), @xml XML', @sql, @xml
Post back any issues you have with that approach and your real data.

How do I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it.

My MacBook Pro is a few years old and I recently got an iPhone 4S. I want to know how I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it. I tried to download iCloud but then I'd have to download and pay for a new OS.
If anyone could help me with this that would be great.

Hello Fiona,
Congratulations on your new iPhone! You can sync information to your iPhone from your MacBook Pro using the Info tab in iTunes when your iPhone is connected. Use the steps in the following article:

Is there any way to sync my lotus notes calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro?

Is there any way to sync my lotus notes calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro?

You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

Replace friends profile pictures with those in my contacts

Hi, anybody here know how to replace friend's bbm profile pictures with those in contact phone book like those before BB10?
On my 9700 & 9780, I can link a BBM contact with my phonebook contact, and I'd an option to use phonebook contact picture foe the BBM contact.
Anyone got it working or it's just another function discarded by BB10?

Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

My MX 892 isn't printing in all colors. I have replaced all color cartridges, used the head cleaner option and even tried realigning the print head. I'm still getting mostly yellow images, no magenta or blue. Any help?

I have run a few deep cleaning with fresh ink cartridges. Now the printer will not print any colors.

Icloud Control Panel on windows with multiple outlook calendars,contacts syncing with multiple i-devices

I have one windows vista PC with Microsoft outlook with two calendars and two contacts ( family and work in each case). My wife syncs her ipad 2 via icloud and I am about to buy an iphone but as much as I have tried I cannot find out how to sync from one set of calendar and contacts (family to my wife's ipad) and separately the other calendar and contacts (work) to my iphone via icloud (or any other way efficiently) off the same PC. Although I have found lots of these similar sorts of issues on the forum, to my surprise I have not found this exact issue and so I have not yet found the solution. Any help appreciated!

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
Cheers for your Help!

The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

Contacts with Multiple Backup Assistant + Contacts Entries

I have read others with these same issues. Unfortunately, the responses they are getting have to do with having multiple contacts and joining those contacts. That is not the issue. The issue is that each contact has MULTIPLE Backup Assistant + Contact entries. Meaning, when you you start typing a name to send a text message to, it shows you multiple phone numbers for that person (only, they are all the same phone number). For example, if I start typing Zoe, it will show you contacts that match, it will have Zoe 555-555-5555 listed 6, 7, 8, or more times. But wait, that is the home number, how you keep scrolling them until you get to the mobile number which is also listed 6, 7, 8 or more times. When you go into you contacts and select Zoe, and then go to Edit, you see why - There are 6, 7, 8 or more Backup Assistant + Contacts entries!!! These duplicates are what we are wanting to know how to remove. My daughter has only one phone number, but when I click on the her picture in the favorite contacts widget, it shows 2 and they are both the same. Even the BAL #225 shows up EIGHT times!!!!! When you go online (to the Backup Assistant), they are all listed there too. HELP!!!!!!!

I have no prblem syncing multiple mobile numbers so I don't think it's a universal issue with iOS. The only difference I see is I am using CardDav instead of using the Exchange option. Have you tried it that way? You can urn off contacts in the Exchange account and add the CardDav account separately.

How can I replace iCloud contacts with up-to-date contacts on my Macmini?

Originally I used iCloud when it first was released. My contacts went into the cloud. I stopped using iCloud and maintained my Contacts on my Macmini. All of my up-to-date information which includes additional contacts and revisions are on the Mac mini. iCloud wants to work with my old information but I'd rather replace the information on iCloud with the information on my computer. How can I replace what's in iCloud with my edited and updated information?

Open Address Book on your Mac, click All Contacts, select a single contact, press Command-A to select them all (they should all be highlightes), then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this on your desktop. Then delete all your iCloud contacts by going to icloud.com on your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the gear-shaped icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete them all. Then click on the gear-shaped icon again, choose Import vCard and navigate to the vCard you saved earlier to import your contacts to iCloud.

ICloud replaced my main calendar with a series of empty "Untitled" calendars

At some point yesterday, I cloud replaced my primary calendar, called "Home" and replaced it with three calendars called:
Untitled Calendar.
Untitled Calendar_ 1_-_1
Untitled Calendar.
There are no events in these new calendars, so all the events i had in "Home" are now gone.
So...
1. How do I get my data back?
2. How do I stop this from happening again?
Of note: I have other calendars on iCloud and they were untouched. What was different about "Home" that sets it apart? I shared it with my girlfriend, but in read-only mode.
Thanks,
Christian

Honest to gosh...I swear iCloud is a code name for a virus Apple has unleashed on Outlook.
All of my contacts in Outlook 2010 are gone. They simply aren't there any longer since whatever happened when I put iCloud on my Windows 7 system.
When I open Outlook, on the left of that window are the various selectable views...i.e. Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc. When I select Contacts, I have two options. I can either select "My Contacts" (which is Outlooks contacts....and that's the one that is EMPTY) or I can select iCloud contacts. The iCloud contacts is where I see my contacts.
Why did iCloud "suck" them all out of Outlook? Why did iCloud then delete them from Outlook? ....and the $99 question is how do I get them back to My Contacts in Outlook.
Look folks....DO NOT (repeat) DO NOT ever trust anyt software application from any manufacturer or service provider that has the word "cloud" attached. If you haven't already lost data to a cloud provider...you will...period.
Why wasn't I given warning that Apple was about to delete all of my contacts from my local computer, hard drive and Outlook? Am I missing something here?
Anyway...can anyone help me understand what I need to do to get the Contacts back from iCloud. That's horrible people. People are people...and sooner or later someone is going to lose your data...or worse ..steal your data.
I'm done...any help appreciated.

Icloud replaced all my contacts with a stranger's contacts?
