Lost- email, bookmarks, calendar, settings

Comrades, I was just trying to connect to my local wireless network (apple) and had to re-enter my network password. No big deal but I got a prompt that my keychain could not be found when I checked the "remember password" box... . A little odd, then -skip ahead to restart- I log in as usual but all my settings are gone as well as mail accounts, calendar entries etc. as if I were a brand new user though all my files and apps seem to be intact. I ran disk utilities and repaired the disk and permissions but that did not help. I have been syncing with .mac to my mini I'm hesitant to do that now until I figure out what happened. Any ideas about where to go from here?
thanks

Thanks for the quick reply Neil! I've opened the drive icon-> users-> and I see my user name and files. Do I select them all (desktop, docs, library, etc) and drag them to my user name with house icon in the side bar? I tried that but with no obvious result before or after restart. I must be misunderstanding you. Please try again. Patience... my brain is only about the size of a walnut.

  • IPhone 4 not recognizing links in email or calendar - settings issue ?

    My phone recognizes the presence of phone numbers in email body or Calendar notes, but does not execute the command when I try to activate the link.
    Does anyone share this problem ? Is there any easy fix ?

    Reset the device. if that does not work, restore the device.

  • Lost Email and Calendar

    When I first setup my 8130 using Desktop Manager, I was receiving emails from all 3 of my accounts. When I switched to BES, only that account comes through. THe other 2 are still listed on my account.
    With BES, how do I set the Calendar to sync all data? Right now I only get about a 30 day period.

    Does your BES IT Policy allow for personal accounts? Some IT policies (depending on the corporation) may block BIS access. Or you may just need to resend your service books again from your BIS web site.
    For the calendar issue, if you go to the Calendar and go Options > General Options > Keep Appointments. What is that set to?

  • I lost email and settings function is frozen

    I lost email and the settings function is frozen.

    Try resetting the iPad:

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not.  Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

    I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone.  However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine.  That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone.  When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.'  Help!

    Hello Marsha,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here.  If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below.  Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

    How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

  • I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

    Hello!
    I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update.  It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
    I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
    I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
    My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
    Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

  • Why I'm lost my Bookmarks Bar when I upgrade my mobile me to icloud? How can I get it back to my iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2?

    Why I'm lost my Bookmarks Bar when I upgrade my mobile me to icloud? How can I get it back to my iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2?

    last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
    if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • IPhone 3G Email and Calendar times off by one hour (slow one hour)

    My times which I send/receive emails or put appointments on the calendar are 1 hour slow as compared to my computers. I have Mobile Me and Mobile Me (on the computer) and my Outlook emails and calendars match and my current time is correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time is correct but the time a email is sent or received and all appointments on the calendar are both off by one hour (one hour slow on the IPhone 3G).
    I have set time automatically in "settings" to on, and under "email contacts and calendar" I have time zones disabled. I have tried each possible combination of these settings but cannot get the email/calendar times to match between my computers and the IPhone 3G regardless of how these are set.
    I have numerous computers and all times are correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time (the clock) is correct, but times in emails and calendar appointments are all off (slow) by exactly one hour no matter what I do.
    Anybody else have this issue, and/or know what the solution might be?
    Thanks

    I have tried that and it did not work. I am now trying it with everything set to enable DST, and see if that works. Everything, so far, seems to be in sync. The phone would be right for a second when you went into the calendar and then change to be an hour off. Strange. I think the settings I have now (all, Windows, MobileMe, and the IPhone 3G set to DSL on, the same) may be working. Only time will tell.
    Thank you.

  • My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

    I do not have any VPN enabled?

    Do you happen to have an Android?  If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in.  See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage  from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.
