Lost settings and content

I recently had to send my macbook away with an apperently loose logic board, but when it returned I'd lost all my iweb settings and content, I now don't seem to be able to do anything with it.
I have a feeling I may have to reinstall Life, but will that mean the other applications will change?
Also when I start up instead of the apple logo I get a file icon with a question mark in the middle. Can anyone help or is it Applecare issue?

SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!!!
get this file using the spotlight and BACKUP it. if its not there - youre website is gone, FOREVER!!!!! :-(: Domain.sites
get your itunes library, photos and whatever other files you need and then re-install everything using the DVD that got shipped with your macbook!

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

Wrt54g lost settings and wireless not detected

Hello,
I recently had a problem with my wrt54g so i popped in the installation cd and went through the basic setup again. Now my wired desktop works perfectly but none of my wireless devices are finding the router. I also went into the config webpage and noticed all my settings had been reset. All my port forwarding for the PS3 and XBox 360 had disappeared!!! I couldn't believe it since it took me forever to get the initial settings to work right.
Now my laptop, ps3, xbox360 all cannot detect the the router. However, the wired desktop pc works fine. Is there any way to recover lost settings and how do I get the router to be detected by my wireless devices?

I think your router got resetted and that is why you lost all the settings on the router...Change the wireless settings on the router(ssid , channel , wep)...Click here to change the Wireless Settings on the router...Also check the related articles in the given link...

we have almost similar problem. i also did restored my iphone5. and it keeps restoring after it finishes. what i did was, i disconnected the phone from iTunes and pressed the home & power button, hold it till the apple logo appears. but i will warn you. after i did this, my phone did worked after, but now im having problem with siri and voice command. both keeps on making calls, playing music even the phone is just inside my bag or not using it. when i use the phone, it keep on going home, enabling siri, going to music wihtout touching anything. such a pain in the neck

How long does erase settings and content take?

Let me try this again. My question is...... "How long does the erase settings and content process take?" I have an iPhone 4s 16gig.
Its been on the screen black screen with rotating circle for about an hour already.
Hope this doesnt get my post erased again.

You're over 2 months late on this reply, and also wrong. Erase All Content and Settings on any phone from the 3GS forward simply writes over the encryption key, thus scrambling all of the data on the phone. It takes under 10 seconds. On the iPhone Classic and 3G it could take several hours, but not phones with hardware encryption line the 3GS, 4, 4S and 5.

HT201274 Erase all settings and content

If I erase all settings and content on my iPhone, and it's connected to iCloud, will it erase everything on my other devices as well?

It will erase your iCloud account so any changes shouldn't be reflected in iCloud. But to be safe, just go to settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account before erasing the phone. (This deletes the account from the phone only.)

I reset my settings and content, the itouch just conged. what should i do?

What does "conged" mean?
If the iPod does not respond or turn on:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Erase all settings and content

How do I erase all settings and content if I forgot my pass code ?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPodvia iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Or
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

Erase all settings and contents

how long should it takes to erase all settings and contents on my 64 gb???it's been 1 hour HELP PLEASE i used 33 gb of 64gb

Something has gone wrong, on an iPhone 4S the erase all operation should be almost instantaneous.
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

Lost settings and preferences on startup

I had a very unusual problem this AM. On computer start up all my FF settings, preferences, tool bar settings, homepage were lost and FF reverted back to it's default settings. My bookmarks were still there. I've never seen that before. I did a system restart and still the same thing. So I had to reset all the settings and preferences. Nothing odd with my IE9 browser. I did a security sweep and everything was normal. Anybody seen this before?

Hey there, do you also still have your history, cookies and passwords intact? If yes, this sounds like someone activated Firefox Reset on that computer. In any case, you should be able to find your old profile on your computer still as Firefox reset just creates a copy and leaves the old profile as it is. You can use this article to locate your profile, and it also links to the profile manager to switch profiles: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

Lost settings and import tab on with itunes 10

We've lost the settings and import tabs that are supposed to be at the lower right in itunes. Any idea how to get them back. And/or how else to import music from an old computer to a new one using home sharing.

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

Have lost settings and data

Hi, i've got a refurbished G4 running OS x.4.10 and until recently it's been working fine but i logged on the other night to find that the desktop had reverted to default settings, iphoto had started from scratch (and lost all my photos) - the same with mail (lost all emails and settings), address book, stickies and other dashboard items including previously downloaded stuff - not good.
Fortunately i backup everything so i've not lost much but i'd like to know what has happened and how i can get the lost data back without having to upload it all again from my external drive (which could take hours).
As far as i know, i've not done anything unusual to cause this to happen - the previous days work involved downloading a couple of files from apple.com and changing some settings for address book - other than that i was just typing a word document and sending e-mails.
If anyone can help by suggesting what went wrong and how to avoid it again i would be very grateful, also - can i get my settings and data back without having to upload it file by file (i don't think my sanity could cope with that).
Adam.

Hi Adam,
If the Netinfo database becomes corrupt your account files can become "lost". They can be recovered if you have a recent backup of the database. It's backed up when the cron jobs run (when the computer is on over night or manually via Terminal or a maintenance application). The following article explains how to do it.
