  • HT1688 I upgraded my Iphone 4s with the new operating system.  After the upgrade was performed all my contacts were lost.  How do I recover my phone contacts?

    I upgraded my Iphone 4s with the new operating system. After the upgrade was performed all my contacts were lost.  How do I recover my phone contacts?

    Synch them back from whatever contact manager or cloud service you stored them in.

  • My computer had issues and I dumped it.  Now I need to sync my iphone.  Am I going to lose all my contacts and ringtones?

    I was having computer problems and dumped my computer and started over from scratch.  I had to download itunes to this comptuer again.  But now when I go to sync my iPhone with my computer, it appears that I'm going to lose all the information on my iPhone.  How can I keep this from happening?  I'm not real computer literate so need simple terminology and directions.  I've been trying to search for the answer to my question and I've found some answers, but I need more precise directions.  Such as:  one answer says to sync to the windows contacts and make sure there is at least one contact in your windows contacts so it will merge rather than wipe out your phone.  I don't know where windows contacts is to be found so don't know how to add a contact in it.  What about the ringtones I have?  It wants to wipe them out too, but I don't want to purchase a new ringtone to have in the ringtone area (where ever that is).  Anyone who can guide me in simple language would be a blessing.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, there are useful links in there even if you don't have a device.

    Your data is already gone.  Why did you not take regular backups of your data? Now you know why you should.

  • After making a phone call, I went to make another and all my contacts were gone. How can i get them back?

    I made one phone call this morning and after hanging up i went to the contacts library and all my contacts were gone. I have unfortunately not got a backup (this isn't my phone its for a friend) and so I have no backup of my contacts. I have already tried importing contacts from the sim but only a very small few contacts are on the sim so im still missing over 90% of my contacts. How can i fix this? This phone is an iphone 4s running ios 7

    nope just set it to do so for future purposes but i have no recorded backup of any contacts

  • I just upgraded to firefox 6 and now cannot connect to the internet. IE still works fine but firefox won't connect. Any suggestions on how to get the new firefox to connect to the internet?

    I just upgraded to ff 6.0.1 via an automatic push. Since then, ff hasnt been able to connect to the internet. Error message:
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
    IE has no trouble connecting to the internet.

    After upgrading, your firewall may not be recognizing the new Firefox version and is not allowing it access to the internet. On your firewall progam's allowed applications list, remove Firefox, then re-start Firefox, try going to a website, your firewall will detect the new version of Firefox, then give the permissions needed for Firefox to have internet access.

  • Hi...I can't get a new window to come up when I click on the + sign at the little tab on the right side of the existing browser window. I also can not get a new window to come up when I click on "Control + T". Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I would like to be able to open a new window by clicking on the little plus sign at the right side of the existing open browser window. I used to be able to do that and something unknown happened that has taken that ability away. Thanks!

    You need to access the router and change the wifi network name from the default which right now is the router name (linksys, netgear ect).
    You want to use WPA2 encryption and you want a password that for now is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. (no , in there). Put the same on the guest network.
    Don't setup the "N" network yet, just use the b,g,,n for now just to get it working.
    Save those settings on the left pane on the router page on the bottom.
    Go find the wireless with the name you put in, whatever you used.
    Settings, wifi
    Under choose a network the wifi you have just setup should be listed.
    If its not there do this
    Settings, cellular data.....is this an tion, is it on? Turn cellular data off if it's on. Then go back to settings, wifi and try that again.

  • My ipod nano (3rd generation) won't sync to my computer anymore. I share the computer with other family members and there ipod's sync fine to their iTunes, but mine won't work. How do I fix it? :)

    .

    Why won't it sync anymore? Does iTunes still see the device? If so, are you getting any error message during the sync process?  Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.

    Hi heartotexas,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To resolve this error, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

  • I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.
