Iphone 5 why did you bring all these contacts in!

My iphone somehow imported all of my yahoo IM contacts and emails and even just IM names.  I am trying to find a way to mass remove them as there are hundreds and hundreds. 
How do I remvoe them and why/how did it ad them without asking me??
Thanks in advance!

What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

  • Why are you banning all these people?

    I do not understand what is going on over here. These are long time people. Who are you that is doing this? It can't be the Adobe I know and love.

    Hi Cindy
    Viewpoints? It has been obvious that any opinions we might have falls on deaf ears.
    I suppose you are referring to Adobe here. No problem
    It is obvious that all the powers that be really want is for those who are dis-content to just shut up.
    Well, I'm sure Adobe would rather not hear that folks are discontented. But I've not seen anyone saying that anyone should just shut up about issues. If you have an issue, it needs to be stated. Otherwise, how will it ever be known? After all, they are helpless to address issues they are unaware of, no?
    It is clear, really clear that the changes that have been made are the way it is.
    I'm not sure if you are referring to the new statement made about how things will be or if you are referring to the forums changeover. I suppose either way, you are correct. But then, as I see it, so much of life and your life experience is determined not by what happens, but by how you decide to react to it. That's my philosophy. I always have a choice in how I elect to react to any given situation. I sometimes can't change the situation, but I can choose to allow it to ruin my day or just become something that happened and move on. Then again, that's just me. I don't expect everyone to be like me. What a boring world that would be if we were all the same!
    It is clear that the people who are now running these forums are not part of the Adobe community.
    As far as I'm aware, the people that run the forums are actual Adobe employees. Aren't employees part of the community?
    And you want people to like it?
    I personally don't want anyone to like anything. I choose what I like and you choose what you do. All I hope for is open, honest, mature discussion to occur with no personal attacks involved.
    Cheers... Rick

  • TS4036 I received a message this morning to download new software on my IPhone. I did so but all my contacts were lost! I did not know I was supposed to have backed them up on ICloud

    I downloaded the new apple software and it lost all of my contacts! I am a senior citizen and didn't know I was supposed to download everything to ICloud. Can someone help me restore all of my phone numbers? Oddly, the recently used numbers are there. I called apple support and they couldn't help. How can it not be safe to download an apple update on an apple IPhone?

    You shouldn't have lost them but soz your gunna have to add em again

  • Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

    I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore.  I organize my photos inside albums by events.  Why?  Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums.  So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track?  I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web.  What's up?  When will this be coming back?  Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco.  I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel.  Help me out here please.  Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

    What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums.  Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • HT201386 If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago ?? Good job !

    If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago on my iPhone  ?? Good job !

    That is frustrating. You are right. The new Photos.app is not yet a sufficient substitute iPhoto.
    And there was no clear warning with the upgrade to iOS that iPhoto would no longer work. Only after upgrading to iOS 8 could we find out, that iPhoto was gone.
    In your case it may be too late now to downgrade back to iOS 7. It was possible right after the release of iOS 8, but by now Apple stopped signing the firmware, so you will find no trustworthy installers.
    I think the best route is to send feedback to the developers, so the next Photos releases will bring back more of the advanced, missing iPhoto features.  Apple brought already the Camera Roll back to Photos.

  • Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

    Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
    I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

    Also note that the option is available in...
    '''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
    Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

  • Why did you go into IT?

    Why did you go into IT?
    The reasons I went into IT are as follows:
    1.  I already knew programming before going to College, and thought it would be easy learning computers in College!
    2.  I liked programing and working with computer applications.
    3.  I wanted to travel, working all over the world, and thought that I would be able to get a job in many different countries in IT.

    I don't know fortunately or Unfortunately, How I found my self in IT!
    Since Childhood I was complete sports person. I represent U-15, U-17,U21 for Rajasthan. I splurged my whole teenage all in Cricket. In My education I had one year Gap only because of we had to visit Sri lanka for couple of matches against Gale Sports Club (Formerly known as President Academy).We were lost with huge margin. I was scattered and complete disappointed, however right after I got selected in National Squad (only for training camp).But still meanwhile I managed myself to get admission into Engineering (Yes on payment seat ). I was below average student in subjects of science but at the same time I was crazy about Maths (Only because I used-to to count Runs and Required Rate all the time ).
    So the year from "99 to "03 was the key for my career (with aspect of sports and education wise both).In First Year of Engineering I through without any Compartment. But In Second Year I got stuck in 2 Subjects But I was least bother about this as my sports career had not been affected. Yes Due to sports my Education career had always been penetrating.Guys believe me in my four year of Engineering life I only wrote one Program from myself which was Swapping the values of A and B without using third variable, that was in C++
    However,Finally by hook or crook I managed my self in 03 in Final Year(Yes Final Semester too, No compartment Had Been carry forward ) In my through Life, I only took myself away from Cricket in Final Semester because now I wanted to Through in my Education. Only because my instincts and somebody says from inside I spend 3 and half year with cricket and Education so I must through when my Ship was almost on the shore.
    Finally I got a chance to work in company where SAP ECC was about to Implement. I donu2019t know from where I got inspiration and courage to work rather than sport but yes I preferred to work there. Since now Iu2019m in SAP and I left a Cricket way back. But yes still I used-to manage to play over the week-ends, only when time allows.
    And now Iu2019m the only SAP person in my project that has handling FI-CO and ABAP stuff, yes sometimes Basis too
    Cheers,
    Amit.

  • Why did i loose all my apps and music from my phone when i updated it?

    WHY did i loose all my apps and music from my phonewhen i updated it?

    Without knowing all of the information we can only guess  .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync  and sync again.
    Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
    If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

  • Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

    I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
    I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
    Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
    I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
    Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

    Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
    In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
    But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
    The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

  • Why did you change the event calendar?

    I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

    Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.
    Regards.
