Not all contacts have synced? Is there still some bugs to be worked out? How can I cause iCloud to re-sync my contacts?

My sisters information in particular is showing up on none of my devices. Is there some way to make sure that it resyncs with my contacts??

For this situation, you can only try the iPhone contacts recovery software to have a try.
This post on the blog you can refer to get your contacts back.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/11/recover-lost-contacts-after-upg rade-to.html
Please follow the way 1 to get your lost contacts.
Way 1: Directly Recover lost contacts from iPhone
1. Run iPhone Data Recovery for iOS.
2. Connect your device (eg. iPhone 5). Choose“Recover from iOS Device”.
3. Start to scan your device(eg. iPhone 5) for lost data on it. Please click “Start Scan” to begin scanning it.
4. After the scan, you can preview all data found on your device(eg. iPhone 5) in the scan result. Click the categories on the left side of the window like camera roll, contacts, messages, etc. You can preview all the details of them (except for videos). Mark what you want and click “Recover” to save them on your computer with one click.
Good luck.

HT5621 d is still registering the old ID and I can't work out how to change my icloud Apple ID.

I have changed my out Apple ID for a new one. This has been successful for iTunes etc but not for iCloud. I can't seem to work out how to change my account which is the email address used for my old Apple ID.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), 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. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

HT4914 I have Itunes Match but still get ads on Apple radio. How can I fix

ITunes Match is enabled but still get ads on Apple Radio channels. How can I fix?
thx,

Hey there Chriskir,
It sounds like you would like to delete all the songs from your iPad but still be able to access them in iTunes Match. You can delete all the songs from the Music section of your Usage in Settings by swiping your music left:

Since iOS 5activation not possible. Tried it for a few hours but doesn't work. How can i solve this problem?

When I try to activate from my iPhone it says: iPhone could not be acticated, actication Server is unavaillable. When I connect to iTunes it says: No Sim-Card insert. But my Sim-Card is insert! How can i solve this problem? It's freaking me out. I try it since yesterday without any success...
Please help.

If you have to ship your phone back to the US, then you will need to ship is to a friend or a relative who actually lives out there. You CANNOT ship it directly to Apple as they will not accept it. Send it to a relative or friend that you have there and if you don't have any, then you are out of luck as there is nothing that you can do.
That is why is was not really a good idea to purchase an iPhone is the US when you are ultimately going to use it in China. With no international warranty on the iPhone you are stuffed really. You should have bought it in China and then you would not be facing this problem.
Nothing you can do except get on a plane and fly to the US or send the phone to a friend or relative.

30 second rewind there on some books, missing on others. How can I activate it for all books?

Greetings all.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks while I drive. Many of my audiobooks have the 30 second rewind feature, while some don't. I love the feature and use it frequently.
I have tried to figure out a correlation between various Option settings in iTunes and this control appearing on my iPod Touch, but have not been able to do it. Does anyone know which option controls this feature, or is there something else that I am missing? Thanks.
Details:
iPod Touch, 3rd Gen.
iOS 5.0.1
iTunes 10.5.3
iMac
OS X 10.6.8

I think I found a solution to this. Right-Click on the file in iTunes, go to Get Info. From there, go to the Options tab. Set the "Media Kind" to "Audiobook." It fixed the issue for me. After syncing, you might have to leave the track and come back to it, but that should work. This is a Windows solution, but I bet if you explored, you could find the "Media Kind" field in Mac OS X as well.
Good luck!

IF I DON'T HAVE A FIND MY PHONE APP ON AN UNUSED WORKING IPHONE HOW CAN I WIPE IT CLEAN OR SHUT IT OFF OR TRACK IT DOWN?

If i had my old iphone 3G stolen from me all it's used for is for music (ipod) and I don't have a passcode on it or a Find my phone app on it is there a way for me to wipe it clean or turn it off completely or maybe even track it down? please help me if possible i have important pics and infos on that old phone that i need deleted.

According to the information you have provided, based on my knowledge, it seems the only option would be to trace back where the iPhone had been.
Do you know where it was stolen? Have you contacted the police?
Unfortunately, if you haven't set up Find My iPhone, obviously, the service will be of no use.
P.S. When asking question, please type without CAPS, because that often gives a bad 'image' on the writer. I understand the urgency, however typing like that is not neccessary.

FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

(with the added advantage that since you ain't booting anything off the drive, can turn the Mac on or off at will without risking data corruption on the drive)

HT1692 After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?

Still no success.
My problem, in part, is that I have 2 iphones. I transferred one to another computer that now syncs with iCloud. The other phone I was updating today on my old computer. It was recognised by iTunes, and automatically synched. Then I updated it to a newer version of iTunes, and lost my contacts on that iPhone. I have trawled to Windows Contacts but to no avail.

Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows. That will get back your music. I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

I have HughesNet satellite for an ISP with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to back up my information all the time?

Thanks Roger W1,
Yes, I was using iTunes to sync over cable without problems since orinigal purchase in 2011 and using 10.6 w/o problem. There was an "update" in Nov 2012 that crashed the sync service. I went to the Apple Store and reviewed the problem with the Geniuses there. It was discovered at that time that the update included mandated use of iCloud but enough of the un-updated code remained that he was able to patch functions to allow Microsoft Office to still sync over iTunes.
This March (+/-) there was another "update" to 10.6 that totally destroyed the patch that was in place so there was no sync service available between Microsoft and iTunes what-so-ever. Then recently, because of some unknown process, all my notes, contacts, and calendars were erased in both my Apple utilities and Microsoft utilities.
After many hours of frustration I was able to recover most of the information to the Apple utilities only, but those were unstable. At my visit to the Apple store it was suggested that an upgrade to 10.8 might solve the stability problem. That it did but being connected to the iCloud all the time keeps using up all my Internet time and I have nothing left to check emails or do research.
This, to me, is not my problem but one created by Apple. I have searched the Internet and support groups and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
The "aircraft mode" turns off all other communication functions and is not acceptable. Neither is disconnecting/turning off Airport on my MBP.
Thanks,
Jay

I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?

Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.

>All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store.

How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

IE11 favorites 'pinned to start menu' bug - not all of these sync between Surface RT and Surface 2

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surf2-surfgetstart/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/
Recently bought surface 2, originally pinned everything on Surface RT in windows RT, later upgraded to windows 8.1 RT
Noticed only some of my favorite websites that were pinned to start sync'd over to the Surface 2. They were also out of order, but still in the same section of the start menu
Didn't get anywhere on the other forums. Any tips here that might help?
How does the start menu sync work?

I'm pretty sure both of my surface's are already trusted devices.
I sign in to both of them every day.
First, the sync is not instant. There should be a way to force the sync... like a sync button.
I tested this by moving some pinned things around AND changing the start background and then waiting for the other one to catch up with the start menu changes.
The Journals / website pins to start are definitely bugged between the two devices. Not all of them sync. I'm now in the process of doing a work-around. Instead pinning them to a favorites bar folder AND the start menu... until this is resolved.
It's pretty annoying and hope that Microsoft is looking in to it.
EDIT:
More info about the bug. I re-pinned the website to start on the Surface 2 (which didn't originally sync over from the RT). Now when I move it around on the Surface 2, it moves the same website, but different name on the start screen on the Surface
RT.
So it is detecting that it is the same website pinned, but the names are not syncing over. It is like it is hidden, although it's not like there is a box missing... it re-organizes / collapses the order down to appear that it isn't missing multiple
boxes.
EDIT 2:
When working on the work-around, after adding the website to a favorite bar, then going to the device that didn't sync, opening the page, then re-pinning it to start on the bugged sync device, it will insert the pin in the exact same spot on that device,
even if you name it something else - you'd think it would go to the end, but it knows where it is supposed to go... even though the sync is bugged.
I ran the troubleshooter linked here, but it just made a log. I put the result in the other forum:

What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad.

Not all contacts have synced? Is there still some bugs to be worked out? How can I cause iCloud to re-sync my contacts?
