Lost contact information when upgraded
When I upgraded my phone to the ios6 my contacts disappeared from my phone and instead gave me my facebook contacts. My old contacts are on my icloud. How can I transfer my old contact numbers from my icloud account on my computer back to my phone.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.

Why didn't my iphone save contact information when updating?
Why didn't my iphone save contact information when updating??
Can you give us some more info? Were you upgrading to a newer version of iOS? Did you backup your iPhone before upgrading? Did any other info disappear during the upgrade? Which system are you running, and which iPhone model are you using?
Are you using iCloud to sync contacts? If so, check Settings > iCloud to make sure you're logged in and Contacts are enabled. -

Lost contact information in the last few days.
When my daughter and I upgraded to smart phones from basic phones, we went to Backup Assistant to get our contacts. We both got ALL contacts from both accounts. She went in and deleted all the contact information she did not need (my stuff), but now I don't have that information on my phone. Is it related to this information deletion, or is something new going on? Is there a way to separate our contacts? Also, she has a 5C and I have a 4S
MomB96,
Yikes! We need to make sure you guys have your own contacts in your own phone. Do you two share the same Apple ID on both devices? If you sign into My Verizon, hover the mouse over 'My Verizon', Select Back up my contact, this should bring you into your contacts that are backed up from Backup Assistant. Are your contacts still listed there? Please keep us posted.

Lost contact in maverick upgrade, how do i get them back on my mac
I lost my contacts in marverick upgrade, how do I find them and migrate them back? I can't get them back through icloud either
I guess I have a bigger problem with contacts. I can find a vcard on the drive, I right click and say to open in contacts and it won't even open the contacts. It won't allow me to import (that option is grayed)
When I open the contact app is only has this:
<null> (0 cards)
at the bottom I have the + but it doesn't allow me to add anything.
It will not allow me to export a vcard
I go to edit template and THINK I am making changing but nothing happens. It is like the program got corrupted? Is that possible? I can't get anything to come down from the cloud, I can't import from my exchange server, I can't get anything from google or any account -
How can I get my lost contact information back?
I have to get the replaced iPhone due to the problems that I had with the old one. Everything was backup on my PC. Last night, when I was trying to sync it and get the info back, I got my texts and pictures back but all my contact information and apps that I've purchased. and since it was sync I assumed the previous information are lost. I know I have the backup from the day before chaning my iphone saved on my PC but I don't know how to get them back. I have above 300 contact info. Please advise.
If the apps exist in the iTunes library on the computer, connect the new iPhone and tell iTunes what to sync.
If the contacts are synced to a supported application or cloud service, as they are designed to be, then set that up on the device.
If the contacts were simply stored on the device, then they were restored when restoring from backup. -
In the middle of using wi-fi on my MacBook Pro, I lost contact. No other apple devices (iMac, iPhone or iPad) are affected. When I click on the empty wi-fi icon (top right of the screen) it gives the message: Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. has anyone any clues?
Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. has anyone any clues?
Unfortunately, this message is almost always an indication that the internal AirPort card on the Mac has failed and will need to be replaced. This is a job for repair shop.
If you have a recent Mac, a Hardware Test may reveal this as well:

IPhotos has lost my Photos when upgrading to Yosemite
When I upgraded to Yosemite like many people I have seen on forums there was a issue with upgrading the iPhoto library when upgrading to 9.6. Finally it looked like it had worked but now all of my photos do not appear in iPhoto. The files seem to be there still as the iPhoto library file is still1.26TB in size (i have a lot of photos). I have tried doing a full rebuild of the Library but it did nothing. I also purchased iPhoto Library Manager but this does not help either. Please can anyone help?
I am using iPhoto 9.6, OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) on a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). The Library is stored on a "My Book Thunderbolt Duo", 8TB in raid 1 configuration.Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -

Lost bootcamp capability when upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10?
When upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 while dual booting with Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition, I can't access the Windows partition any more. When I restart my computer and hold the alt key the only drives that are shown are my Mac OS X and Recovery (usually there is the bootcamp drive there too). Does anyone have any solutions? I can still access my windows 7 files from within my Mac partition weirdly enough. And if there aren't any solutions, is bootcamp broken on Yosemite? Is it safe to redo the process and put a fresh Windows 7 or Windows 8 partition back on bootcamp again? I'm not tech savvy enough to understand all of the coding components so if you want to walk me through it you can, or just provide a simple explanation, any help is grateful. Thanks for your help.
Welcome To Discussions Dedesu!
Here is some additional info.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some additional online Apple retailers, like Amazon, FastMac, etc, and as posted, eBay.
As also posted, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs. They will not work.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info here Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Panther Install & Upgrade Hints
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

Last night I back up my phone to my computer as always and once it completed it was not responding. I tried to restore the infromation as of the back up last night but it ask for a password which I do not remember placing. I was able to store as of the date I purchased the phone 2 years ago. Also, I am not in the cloud.
How do I get this password so I can get my information back???
Thank youUnfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library. -
Lost my plugins when upgrading to Photoshop CC ):
Are there any work-arounds to using my Photoshop CS 6 plugins in PS CC? I lost Perfect Resize, Perfect Photo Suite, Nik Color Effects Pro, Lucis Art Pro ( CS 5 only), Topaz Labs Suite when I upgraded to Photoshop CC. If there are no such work-arounds maybe CC is not such a good deal.
You didn't lose anything.
Photoshop CC is an entirely separate product from its predecessor, and is installed in a different set of folders. In fact, unless you uninstalled the old version it's still there and can still be run.
Reinstall your plug-ins after finding out whether there are updated versions specifically for CC. Failing that, you can try copying individual plug-in files into the Photoshop CC plug-ins subfolder (but DO NOT copy all the files from the old version). Some plug-ins require additional files beyond just the .8bf, .8bi, etc. files. But you know what each requires - you got it in the first place. Photoshop CC is no different, really - just in a different place.
Did you have any Extra Plug-ins Folder defined in Photoshop CS6? That's no longer available but there is a workaround.

Lost Contacts on Version Upgrade
I allowed the system to upgrade the ITunes version to 4.1 and without thinking it ask to sync with outlook which I never do -
For some reason it bombed out and when the sync was done - my contacts were gone. I tried to restore from a backup but its giving me an error message - "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup could not be saved in the computer"
My first choice is to find the most recent backup and just restore -
I may have an old system backup from a month ago - but how can I find the iTunes file to restore??
Any help.The below is from: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Where backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files.
I hope you are not dependent on your backup to save your contacts. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported contact management application like Outlook, Windows Contacts, Exchange services (like google or your companies hosted exchange server). -
Lost contact ringtones ater upgrade to IOS7
Hello, All!
After upgrade to IOS 7, i've lost all custom ringtone settings for the contacts. It reset to the default ringtones!
I have iPhone 4 and Google contacts (CardDAV).
For me it is not big problem, custom settings for very limited contacts, and only few minutes to restore it back.
But my wife has many accounts with customised ringtones, it will may take lot's of time to restore...
Because of this, she don't want to upgrade.
Is there a way to keep it, or maybe Apple can fix this in nearest future?
Also, one idea, to have groups for custom ringtones and so forth, because for some users it may usefull.
For example doctor has patients and groups patients with diffirent ringtones. It is not so easy to setup it one by one
and control it in future (if hundreds of patients). Esiest way, to setup groups and put contact there... If somethink special for this
contact, it may customised in contact settings...
Thank you!I have also lost my connection to my mail server. So since Sept 29th I cannot get my email on my phone!!!! I hate Verizon!!

Lost wireless connection when upgrading to 10.6.8
Friend upgraded to 10.6.8 and has lost the ability to establish wireless connecttion again after re-start. I was able to re-estable Airport connection to the router, but it will not go to the final internet connection process. I ran Assistant and it goes all the way through till it needs to connect to the internet and a message comes up to restart router. I do this but noting happens. Gets stuckrepeating the restart router message. Any suggestions?
I had the same proble when I upgraded last weekend, I use an Airport Express, and it took me several trys to finally get internet back and finally the last patch to get the wireless printer to work.
GawebsterYou may want to have a look at this posting. Many owners of Xerox printers, mostly with Fiery print controllers, are having the same error with the lpd backend. The easiest solution for many was to retrieve the 10.6.7 version of the lpd backend from their time machine backup and replace the new 10.6.8 version. If you don't have a time machine backup (crazy practice when the app is built in) then a kind user has posted the file for others.
