Lost my contacts in ios8 update and now I can't post my question here

I posted my question here and it got deleted and they told me to go post it on the Developer forum cause it contains info about the new version of OSX coming out next month, but I'm not a developer and the developer forum sends me here if it's a question about using a product. And I have a question about using my iPhone 5s. Please don't delete this question again.
I updated my iphone 5s (64 gig) and ipad 2 (16 gig) to ios 8 last week and I stupidly said yes to iCloud Drive before I read all the warning signs not to. My photos are still there cause I didn't have them in icloud, but my contacts are gone on my phone. I updated my Mac Mini to (the new version of OSX after Mavericks and I'm hoping if I don't say the name of it this post won't get deleted) and I still see all my contacts on my computer, I'm just not sure how to get them back on my phone. Should I restore my phone in itunes to a previous backup from last month? Figured I'd check here before I went with that.
Please don't delete this post cause I can't post it in the developer forum. This is a question for the support forum. I am an end user.

An error message came up on the computer and said it couldn't complete the installation.
When I plug the ipod into the computer nothing happens.  It sill shows the apple icon on the touch and a bar.  It doesn't show in itunes at all.

    Similar problem here.  iTunes11 notified me it was available.  However, auto-update failed.  So, I downloaded for manual update.  That failed with "permission" message.  I am administrator on this machine (WIN7).  I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue.  I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message.  So, I'm completely dead in the water.  Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

    I download the latest update and now I can't find all my photos; where would they go?

    Photos taken by the iPhone, like any digital camera, should have been uploaded to your computer for safe keeping.  Certainly before a major operation like a software update that wipes your phone in the process of updating.  If they weren't, and they are not currently on your phone, then they're gone.  You can try restoring from a recent backup, but any photos taken between the last backup and the present time will be gone.

  • My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up.

    Hello there,
    My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up. Please can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Try a force-restore:
    1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
    2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
    3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad.  Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
    4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

    Hi,
    Would you take a look at the "Selecting a file location" section in the following document?
    How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
    I suspect that you are looking at the Recent section.  Your can switch to Local (for the files & folders stored on your iPad/iPhone) or Document Cloud (for the files & folders stored in the Adobe Document Cloud, formerly Acrobat.com) to find your "lost" files.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you.

  • XCode 5.1 updated and now I can't debug AIR apps on iOS Simulator anymore

    Today XCode updated itself to version 5.1, with new iOS 7.1 platform support. It updated itself without asking permission, and now I can't run my AIR apps on the iOS simulator anymore. All my apps fail with the following error:
    'Launching [myApplication]' has encountered a problem.
    Error occurred while installing the application:

    I use AIR SDK 4.0.1628 (the latest version according to the SDK download page today), and it doesn't make a difference if I choose another simulator version (7.0 and 6.1 fail the same way).
    I'm developing in Flash Builder 4.7, on OS X 10.9.2
    Any ideas of how to fix this? Will using the AIR 13 beta help?
    Thanks, Frank

    Thanks for the steer Jason that worked,
    So that would be Apache Flex 4.12 using Flex installer 2.7 will bring the same benefits of AIR SDK for Flex 13...... I basically have to use an installer from a third party to make the commercial product I pay for work to solve the precise problem its sold as solving.
    It's like buying a *******' drill you have to put together yourself.
    I'm gonna get this build finished, then sneak into Flash Builders room while it's having a sleep after a big dinner and smother it with a pillow. It's the kindest thing to do. Ha!
    @DavidDragon,
    Follow these steps:
