Lost Contacts after Upgrade and Mobile Me

After installing the latest iPhone software 2.2 and setting up to do mobile me I lost all of my contacts and phone numbers. Can I do a restore and get all of my contact information back? My contacts were not already on my macbook pro as it is new and I am setting it up as well. NEED HELP!

When turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, there is a warning message provided that indicates all contact info and calendar events on your iPhone will be erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar.
You need to sync the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with your MobileMe online address book and calendar first.
The same applies when turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with an Exchange account.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which includes contact info. The backup is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process.
Which computer were you syncing your iPhone's contact info with before turning on over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone?
You should be able to sync the supported address book on that computer with your MM online address book, which will be followed by transferring your MM online address book to your iPhone's address book.

Lost contacts after upgrading to IOS 8.1.2

Just upgraded to latest IOS on my iphone 4s. To my dismay all my contacts are gone! I am desperate to get them back. My phone was backed up to the cloud, I assume they are retrievable there, however I can't get into my account as it says" your account has been disabled due to security reasons". When I ask for new password to be sent, it does not send to any emails that I currently have, I can't think of where it is going. As for security questions, that is not working either. I was on the phone with apple techs ( 3 of them) and they say they can't reset my email? I don't get it? All i need is to have my password reset...
thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your contacts may well return once you are able to log into your iCloud account.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

How can i retrieve my lost contacts after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

I just upgraded to to the iOS 5.1.1 and a few hours later all my contacts disappeared. I tried to restore through iTunes but that did not work. - UPDATE as I am writing this. I got through to Apple Customer Service and because I had selected the option to backup to my computer (iMac 10.5.8) it was actually saving all my contacts to my "address book" app. Since I never used that application I didn't even think to look there. I just re-synced my contacts selecting "all contacts" and I was back in business.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer! You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone. As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses. Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation. Is that what you were wanting to know?

Contacts. Can't add new contacts after upgrading to Mtn Lion from Snow Leopard.

I can't add new contacts after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain last week. I do not use iCloud. Any suggestions?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Lost 2GB after upgrading to mavericks

Seems that I need to ask Apple to credit part of my new MacBook AIR purchase ! I lost 2GB after upgrading to Mavericks. Used to be at over 6GB of RAM after booting before running my apps, now I come to the same point at 4GB !! Anyone else have the same issue. I changed nothing else !

normal, RAM USE CHANGED in Mavericks to make it better
Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.
Memory Pressure graph that tells you how stressed is the system in terms of memory.

Missing information (addresses, etc.) in my Contacts after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I can't see detailed information (addresses, etc.) in my Contacts after upgrading to Mountain Lion. This happened when I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard, but fixed itself when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion.
I can see the information when I do a Print Preview of an envelope, so the information is in the program somewhere, but can't be seen when viewing the Contact Card.

BTW, I can see all Contact Card information on my iTouch just fine.

I cant open Tools in Menu of Mozilla. Even after upgrade and re install.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Homepage lost my settings after upgrade and I want them back.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4, the Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition and most of my homepage content is lost. I had movies and a television guide and few other things that are just gone. Some things remained that I believe are AT&T/Yahoo defaults but I do not see a way to add content like I did before the upgrade. I also do not like the new toolbar and the home icon location. Used to be on the left and a specific color (red?) but now it's to the far right and almost black.

I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
* bookmarks.bak
* bookmarks.html
* bookmarks.html.moztmp
* bookmarks-(date).html
* bookmarks-(date).json
Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

Help with lost pics and contacts in upgrading and get error message when I try to restore.

I lost all pictures and contacts when I upgraded my iphone 4 (for the first time). I did not download anything because I was using a friend's computer. I read that apps not in itunes would be lost, but not pictures and I had 1500. Every time I attempt to restore, I get error messages. Please help!

If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

You can solve this problem by this method.
You may need a third party easy iPhone recovery tool to recover your contacts.

This tool can help you to recover the lost contacts directly from your iPhone. Please have a try.
If it works, try to pay for it to get the full recovery feature.
