Is there a way to view contacts in backup files? Switched carries and stuck without old contacts.

I just switched carriers from AT&T to Verizon. I had the iPhone4 on AT&T but couldnt get service where we just relocated to. So, we made the switch today. I backed up my old phone one last time early last week, put it on eBay and sent it out the door last thursday. So to my surprise, i am just finding out that the verizon phone is not able to restore my old data from the backup i made (i should have looked into this a little more obviously...). I didn't write down any of my contacts from the old phone thinking they would all be backed up once i got the new one. Now I'm stuck without years of contacts! So, is there a way to view the contacts somehow in the backup files that iTunes created the last time i backed up my AT&T phone so I can at least manually enter them?? I sure hope there is something I can do. I'd hate to lose that many years of valuable business connections.
Thanks for any info in advance. It is much appreciated.

If you  followed the instructions in the manual you would have configured Contacts to sync to an app on your computer such as Outlook or Address Book. Then all you would have to do is set the new phone to sync with the same app on the computer. If you didn't do this you are probably out of luck, although there are some 3rd party apps that can extract data from the backup if it is not encrypted.

    Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Unfortunately not as it is a quite dramatic change causing the metadata being refreshed. I would try to open though the package file in a text editor and find them before doing the change, then after you made the change to the FF connector try to reconstitute
    / replace the autimatically generated columns with the old names.

  • Is there a way to load a tab group that I named and closed WITHOUT using "restore previous session", "recently closed tabs/windows" which doesn't restore it..

    grouped some tabs, named them and closed them; did some activity afterwards; closed FF and restarted;
    tried options mentioned above, but they did not restore that tab group - seems to be already classified as "not belonging to previous session", or whatever;
    the name of the tab group can still be found in the sessionstore.js file tho;
    is there any way to search for named group tabs and load them?
    If not, pls implement that - otherwise the use of grouping tabs does not make sense to me, and I would not see any reason to use it;
    Please restore the "Bookmark all tabs" functionality in the bookmarks menu. Users need to know that this option is available, and should have easy access to the functionality of a software product to be able to use the options, not to have to turn to google every time to figure out if the browser that they are currently using is able to do this or that, and if yes how they can invoke the desired functionality.
    Thank you.

    did not have that extension installed, but did it now and can't find anything there that would concern tab groups. (also referred to as Panorama). This session manager seems to provide a lot of stuff that the browser is supposed to do anyhoo, but with more options of configuration. Hope extension and browser won't cause a mess while attempting to do both the same thing.
    Yes, I know that Bookmark all tabs is still available via right click - after a google-search told me so. My feedback was - why remove functionality from the menu? It's really not overloaded - and I'd expect a menu listing me the complete set of functions a software allows me to do, unless it busts the menu. So I was just asking myself - how come it has been removed? Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Is there a way to view our contacts when offline o...

    I am not at home, but I need a phone # off my contact list. Is there a way to view my contact from my account? Since our contact are on a server, you'd think that would be possable.... but then again, we're talking about skype here.... not much common sense in managment! 
    Thanks!

    Your contact list can only be accessed using Skype application installed on your computer/device.
    However, if you Skype account is linked with Microsoft account, then you can login to Outlook.com on the web and tere you should alos be able to see your contact list.

  • Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

    Is there a way to view apps as a list instead of icons?

    Doesn't anyone else have this desire?
    It seems most people are used to seeing lists on all desktop computers. I almost never see anyone viewing files as icons when doing serious work. I'm stumped as to why this would not be an option for the iphone.
    Can anyone offer a reason why Apple would confine us to icon view for apps?
    Imagine if you could only view your contacts as icons? Or your itunes tracks?
    Come on, what gives?

  • Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

    Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

    None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.
    Send feedback to Apple.

  • Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence?

    Is there a way to view all cameras in the timeline at once without creating a multicam sequence?  Is there some kind of window I can open where they will show up?  I am scrubbing a timeline and I would like to see all the cameras at once.

    The multicam monitor only shows multiple clips at once when they are part of a mutlicam sequence. is there some reason you don't want to use them inside a multicam sequence for previewing?
    Here is a possible workaround, if your workflow circumstances will permit it:
    Apply a pip preset effect  to each clip in the timeline. Use UL, UR, LL, LR presets and up to four video tracks will display at once. If you need to see more than that, you'll need to tweak their position parameters by hand. When you're done previewing them all at once you just need to delete their effects from the Effects Controls panel.
    I know it's not that neat or quick, but it will let you see everything at once in the program monitor.

    I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines.  IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer? 

    For instance, DigiDNA's DiskAid will let you extract your messages from the phone in human-readable format. Like .pdf.

  • Is there a way to view image numbers in iPad photos, either of images taken with the iPad or of images copied into Photo (or camera roll) on the iPad?

    Is there a way to view image numbers (metadata) on the iPad Photo app, distinguishing those taken with the internal camera from those downloaded from external camera or copied from an email?

    sberman: My iMac is running iTunes 11.0.2 already. As well, the Photos tab in the iTunes window shows that "Sync Photos from" is un-checked. And in the box to the right of it is the greyed-out empty folder that I previously synced to in order to remove photos from the Camera Roll.
    Ralph9430: I did a reset (Home + Sleep) earlier when I was trying everything I could think of. I have also re-synced a couple of times. No luck.
    Thanks anyway. I was hoping someone out there would tell me they've experienced the same problems (non-functioning DELETE button, and persistent data in Photo Library), even if they haven't found a solution. Then I could assume it's a iOS 6 bug. All I can think of to do next is a full iPad restore.

  • Is there a way of making contacts in CS4???

    Is there a way of making contacts in CS4??? I can't find it and I have to go back to CS3 every time I have to give proofs to my clients. I hope is not taken out from the program.
    Thanks,

    Hey Dan,
    I've found the "PS CS4 goodie" folder on the adobe site and installed the contact sheet II option into the automate area - you should be able to do the same and save the actions set you use in CS3 then bring the set into CS4 and get what you need with out having to keep going back into CS3. It's just not practical for me to have a set of contacts in pdf format, it's definitely a step backwards for me.
    I'd hoped for an improvement, currently I drag the custom sized sheets I've got it generating as tiff files onto another tiff template I've set up, so I can include a title etc on the actual print out - but this is time consuming. I hope you dont mind me asking but how did you edit yours with actions? I'd love to automate the process but not sure how as each title is different as per the job, and I like to add page numbers.
    Apologies for the rambling rant, hope you get sorted Dan.

  • Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

    I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

    You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

    If I attach all my iOS devices to my computer, is there a way to view only the apps in my iTunes library that are NOT being used by any device?  To make it easier to know which I'm not using, so I can delete them off my computer and free up some space?

    In Settings:
