Mail addresses deleted with 10.7.4 update

The 10.7.4 deleted my address book contacts.
I have Time Machine, but don't know how I can use this to restore my contacts.
Any help?

OK. Open AB. Select the TM icon in the Dock to enter TM, or choose Enter Time Machine from the menu icon submenu.
From there, you should be able to choose a timeline backwards and find the contacts, select all and choose restore.
Another option is to enter TM, select keys Shift-Command-G, and paste this into Go to Folder box:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
You can restore the whole folder from the timeline where they existed.

HT4847 I had a previous e-mail address associated with my Apple Account. I change this, but Cloud did not update with the change. Now I can't log-in under the old I.D. and when I try to provide a password or get through by providing my BD it says it is

For some reason when trying to get ito Cloud, I can't get into my previous e-mail address to make changes, which I must do to delete it. Cloud does not recognize my old password and the system does not seem to associate my BD with it. I knowlonger have the old e-mail address associated with Cloud.
I have a new e-mail associate with my Apple account and a new password. The problem is trying to get Cloud to recognize my new I.D.

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id Help please.

Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime. ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID. You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID. I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct). I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information. How do I delete this account and start anew?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com). Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account. If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID, it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address.
How do I:
1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one.

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail? Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID. Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID. I do not. I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.
You can make any changes and view all your info here:

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

gjortega,
Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.

How do I monitor my child's history. He claims it was deleted with the recent new update from Apple. Is this true?

How do I monitor my child's history on the iPad? He claims the history became deleted with the new Apple update. Is this true?

However, after the update on 4 devices in my home, not one of them lost their website history. Not one device, so it would not be a common issue for the update to delete ones internet history. So to the OP.......I would be a bit skeptical about your son's claim the update removed his internet browsing history.

I have been using my husband's apple id in my old PC. When I purchased a MacBook Pro, I created my own. Because I wanted to have access to my old purchases, I changed my husband's original ID's e-mail address to my e-mail address. Now I can't update s/w.

I have been using my husband's apple id in my old PC (ID A). When I purchased a MacBook Pro, I created my own Apple ID (ID B) and started using my laptop and updating the S/W with this ID.
Because I wanted to have access to my old purchases, I changed my Apple ID's e-mail to another e-mail that my husband uses (ID B->ID C).
Then I changed my husband's original Apple ID's e-mail address to my own e-mail address (ID A->ID B).
Now I can't update any s/w through the Apple Store and I get the message that "Sign in to **********@hotmail.com to update applications for that account.". The e-mail address is ID C. How can I associate my laptop in the AppStore with ID B which is the one that have all my purchased applications and contains my own e-mail address?
I would appreciate your reply.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

High CPU usage for Mail/Address Book with Exchange/GMail

I reinstalled 10.6 on my MacBook Pro because it since the upgrade from 10.5 performance has been generally lousy and I wanted to make a fresh start. I am finding that my performance problems with Mail (which connects to both Gmail and Exchange) is still poor At all times, even when Mail is not processing any connections to either mail server, it consumes about 25% CPU just being idle. Oddly, Address Book uses 25% minimum CPU at all times. Also, in Address Book, I see the contact list for my Exchange account has the progress meter spinning at all times, even after a full reboot of the computer. My Mail and Contact lists are fully synced up at this point so I am not sure what all the overhead is for. It really drags down general performance of the machine, especially when I attempt to load any complex pages in Safari where I constantly see the pinwheel. This is all pretty troubling since this is a fresh install of the OS and I actually have same problems as I had with Mail before plus I now have new problems with Address Book that I DIDN'T have before. I haven't even turned on Time Machine because after the way it affected performance on my previous install for 15 minutes out of every hour it will surely render my machine useless.
In a word, "Help".

My problem doesn't align exactly with yours, but I'd suggest you try this anyway (especially if you aren't using RSS within Mail - this is sure to blow away any Mail.app RSS feeds):
+So, if you see the Mail application growing in size until it aborts, it appears that the most direct fix is to quit Mail and delete the ~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds and ~/Library/Mail/AvailableFeeds-journal files. No reboots or other actions are required.+

How do I change the e-mail address associated with Facetime on my iPhone?

On my iPhone, under Settings -> Facetime, if I switch this to "on", I am immediately prompted to provide a password assocaited to an old e-mail address. How do I change this e-mail address?
My app store account is correct, and I don't think this old e-mail is lurking anywhere else on my phone.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but I did not see this space to enter a new e-mail as Facetime was set to "off" and every time I turned it on it wanted me to provide a passowrd for my old, non-existent AppleID.
I just noticed, however, that if you just let it fail to log in with the old e-mail three times, THEN it give you a chance to provide a new e-mail via a new prompt "SIgn in with your Apple ID?", which worked.
So lesson learned: let if fail first, then you can fix it,but not before it fails. :-/

I have changed the user-id e-mail address. Bought a new MacBookPro, updated my Appleid and some purchased apps do not appear.

I have changed my AppleId's e-mail address and thus the Appleid user name. I bought a new MacBookPro and updated my Appleid info. The problem is that it does not list all the Apps bought. I have only one iphone connected to it. My daughter has an ipad and had purchased a lot of apps using the old user-id. She had the ipad linked to another computer. However, the ipad does not switch on and from Apple Support they told me that it would be better if I restore it using a Mac. So my question is: if I restore it using the Mac, how would all these apps be synced since they do not appear on my iTunes on the Mac? Shouldn't all the apps appear since I have bought them?
I would appreciate a reply.
Kind Regards,
Dimitra

I have the same issue. The new address is fine when I use iTunes and on my iCloud account, but my iPhone has my old e-mail address and when I try to change it won't accept my new or old password to be able to do so.

Mail & Address Book with Exchange = Problems Problems Problems

Hi All,
There is a serious issue with Mail/Address Book in Lion with Exchange Server 2010. I have had nothing but grief since upgrading and I have been able to recreate my scenario on two macs using two different profiles so I know it's not related to any settings or anything. None of these problems appear in Outlook 2011.
Basically, to sum up the massive list of problems:
The connection to Exchange drops all the time. I have to use to function "Take my accounts online" about 60-70 times per day.
Trying to send new e-mail often results in a pop-up box indicating that the server isn't available to send (with the options to Try Again With Selected Server or Try Later)
GAL look up for names takes forever. Sometimes the GAL will come up right away, but often times, there's the spinning progress indicator that can take upwards of 1-3 minutes to find the name in the GAL. Same in Address Book, spinning indicator trying to retrieve the GAL.
When sending e-mails, Mail seems to "duplicate" the last name of the person I'm sending the e-mail to if I've already sent them an e-mail in the past (even if I clear the previous recipients list). For example, "John Smith" would appear as "John Smith Smith"
Trying to move messages often fails. I suspect this is due to issue #1 above.
Like I mentioned, none of these problems occur in Outlook. Granted, I would much prefer to use Mail as the search functions are much faster and the program is snappier.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Mail on Lion + Exchange 2010 servers? At this point I'm wondering if it's potentially a configuration issue with our exchange provider (and if so, what would it be?).
Cheers,

I'm having this same problem with syncing address book to exchange contacts. I know I have the correct exchange server specified because I have it in both Apple Mail and on my phone. Also, In the past i have been able to sync address book, but at some point that stopped working. Exchange is syncing perfectly ota to my phone, but I hate to go into OWA to add or change contacts.

E-mail address "overlay" with "drag & drop"

The following errors occurs doing a "drag & drop" from the Address Book or using the "Contacts Sidebar". Unless you "drop" at the end of the line, sometimes it "drops" exactly where the cursor was (because sometimes I see a red cursor and sometimes I don't so have no idea of exactly where it will place it) "overlaying" the e-mail addresses on the line (but sometimes, it put each one of the e-mail addresses on a new line). Either append them to the end of the line or on separate new lines or don't allow the "drop" but please don't "overlay" ("insert" between) whatever is already there!
Also, when I tested "dropping" multiple e-mail addresses from the Address Book, a comma was NOT inserted between the multiple e-mail addresses thus making the entire line of e-mail addresses "invalid". And, it suffers from the identical "overlay" problem described above.
If you have any difficulty understanding the problem, I will gladly provide you anything you need. Just ask.

It appears that the add buttons always copies each E-mail address to a new line so it does not suffer from the lack of comma separators or "overlaying" existing E-mail addresses.
However, that doesn't eliminate the two defects unless Thunderbird disables the "drag & drop" of E-mail addresses which are popular on other E-mail clients. In fact, that is how I noticed the problem: assisting someone with migrating to Thunderbird from another obsolete E-mail client. He is extremely reluctant to giveup his old way of doing things which was "drag & drop" from the Address Book but I am trying to get him to change.

Wrong e-mail address associated with security reset

I upgraded from an iPhone 4s to 5s. I cannot purchase anything until I verify my identity. I forgot the answers to the security questions. When I went to have the questions sent to my e-mail address as a reset it got sent to my ex-husbands e-mail address. When I go under my apple ID settings, his e-mail address doesn't show up as primary or alternate e-mail address. How do I change where the e-mail is being sent? Thanks for any help/input!!
