Lost e-mail contacts when service went from DSL to FIOS

Have had a verizon.net e-mail account since 2000 when I left earthlink dial up to DSL, after being advised by Verizon that they would be no longer supporting DSL I moved to FIOS, don't use that account like I use to and after adding FIOS TV webmail changed and my contacts vanished.  Any suggestions, Verizon has given me the run around for 3 weeks and hav talked to over a dozen tech's and rep's, they claim I deleted them, I want them back, anyone know how to retreive them back? Haven't used outlook in years, and they are empty as well? I know I did not delete 13 years of email contacts, but is there a chance that they could be on another server or something? I am desperate....

Usually once items are removed from the server, they are gone for good. Sorry to hear about the loss of contacts. We would like to check though to see if they can be retrieved.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files.  I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

    i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
    and it's not reading the files.  I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them.  when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
    Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
    I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
    can someone shed some light please ?

    So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    You'll need to provide more information about what has happened.

  • I lost all my photos when I upgraded from Iphoto to Photos

    I lost all my photos when I upgrade from Iphoto to photos, can I get back? please help

    You need to provide more details about what happened.  But, here is something you can check.
    When you run Photo and it converts your library, it doesn't delete the iPhoto library.  Look in your Pictures folder - you should see two libraries:
    iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this is the original iPhoto library)
    Photos Library.photoslibrary (this is the new Photos library)
    You should still be able to open the original iPhoto library.  The iPhoto application was not deleted from your computer.  (It was probably removed from your Dock if you had an icon there.)  Look in the Applications folder, find iPhoto, and run it.  It should show your original library with all your original images. 
    It is always a good idea to back up your photos (and the iPhoto library) before trying these migrations.  Problems do occur...
    Hope this helps.

    Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538     -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
    The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
    Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
    Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
    If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

  • Mail hangs when downloading messages from Exchange

    I've had the problem of Mail hanging when downloading from Exchange 2007, though from time to time it all works fine, suggesting all the settings are correct. Sometimes it will all work after a few forced quit- restart cycles, but this isn't reliable. Following advice on this forum I've trimmed the number of messages on the server (to c. 3,500), to no effect, and have deleted the Envelope Index file (which did temporarily alleviate the problem, but issues returned 24 hours later).
    I see several errors are reported to Console which suggest a communication problem with EWS, and in particular an "id" issue, ("id is malformed" and a illegal temporary id is being used online) though I have no idea what id this is, or whether I can influence it in any way. Here are three exemplars:

    Any help very welcome!

    I finally called AppleCare again (after the first rep never got back to me), and we determined that somehow my Mail Rules had become corrupted. One of them (probably thanks to OmniFocus fiddling with my Mail rules) was caught in a loop that would keep repeating until it caused Mail to crash. I had to remove the "MessageRules.plist.backup" and "MessageRules.plist" files from my ~/Library/Mail folder, and then recreate all my rules, but that did the trick.

  • II lost all my contacts when I updated

    I just updated my iphone as well as added icloud and I have LOST ALL MY CONTACTS.  Does anyone know how to restore?

    My contacts are back.  Now when I go to 'messages' and open that, all my im's are there but they are by number and not by the names they used to be.  Do you know how to restore the names to what is was previously or do I need to go through each one and name it again?

  • Mail didn't migrate when I went from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    Just got a new MacBook Pro with Retina.  It came with Lion on it, I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.  Then, I used Migration Assistant to bring over everything from my Time Machine.  My old MacBook Pro was running Snow Leopard. 
    The big glitch seems to be Mail.  The mailboxes and folders are in the user/Library folder, but when I open up Mail, it shows I have about 400 emails instead of 50,000+.  And, none of the Rules, Smart Mailboxes, etc. are there.
    Would migrating to Lion first and then upgrading solve this?  Is this a known problem with ugrading from SL to ML?  Should I just move the Mail folders in place and try again (I've done this before and am comfortable with the command line)?
    I'm sure there are clever ways of rebuilding it all by hand, but I'd love to avoid that.
    Thanks!

    I ended up calling Apple Tech Support for help on this.  Got directed to a Mail expert.  He had me move the following files from my home Library file folder.
    ~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index
    ~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index-shm
    ~\Library\Mail\V2\MailData\Envelope Index-wal
    Then he asked me to quit Mail and then restart it again.  When it restarted, it imported the mail (which the original migration had not done before).  This solved about 90% of the problems.  In my old mail folder in Snow Leopard, I had a Mail folder called Archive.  Since this is now a reserved folder name, the import to Mountain Lion choked and it created five duplicates of this folder and its subfolders.  I just deleted these and then went to Time Machine and brought in a single copy.  The Rules and Smart Folders I had were gone and couldn't be resurrected, so had to spend some time and rebuild them by hand.  But, now it all seems to be working well.

  • Lost some catalogs when I went from LR3 Beta to Full. Pls hlp!

    Hi! I finally hunkered down and purchased LR3. I've been  working off the last beta since its release, and I was curious if theres  a way to import all my files so I dont lose any of the changes I've  made to the files? I have yet to install LR3 full, was waiting til I got  an answer. Thanks!
    edit
    Damnit Im pissed! I just went ahead and  impulsively installed LR3 and my files were not carried over from the  beta. To add insult to injury, it appears the beta magically  "disappeared", so I cant finish editing my almost-completed shots even  in the beta! WTF!? BTW if it matters, Im on win7 64bit

    LR 3 final release will not overwrite the Beta it will install in its own folder.
    You need to supply some more info about what you have done so far.

  • Need to restore from and older backup because I lost all my contacts when I upgraded my phone

    my backup that was created is saying it needs a password and I didn't give it one. Which password is it requesting? Also the second question is how do I restore from a old back up, I am needing to get my contacts back.

    If the backup is asking for a password you may have turned on backup file encryption. If this is the case, and you don't remember the encryption password you could be out of luck.
