Old Conversations and Contacts Missing

OK so I downloaded the new Skype for windows desktop but there is a issue. I went to go to message my friend but he wasn't in my contacts. I know I had him. So it made me re-send contact request and I don't know when he will aceept it. Also with another contact all of our conversations are missing so I do I get those back?

Your contacts list is tied to your Skype (or Microsoft) account. If you previously used the metro version (uApp) of Skype, using a Microsoft account, and now uses Skype for desktop, with a Skype account that is not linked, these are separate accounts and will not have the same contact lists. Merging the two accounts will also merge the contacts lists. Log onto your skype account here, and choose account settings and merge (add MS account).

Latest Skype update - issue with lost conversations and contacts

Can anybody help with this problem?The new Skype layout looks like a classical Microsoft Office sotware (scroll-down menus from the top bar) and in spite of what was announced before installing the update, the damage to the history of conversations and contacts is massive!!!

MMy iPhone was synced with my computer and the cloud. After re syncing, pics and contacts remain in cloud and computer but won't sync to my iPhone. Even my IT guy at work is stumped! I would love to have all my pics and contacts back on my phone. I have not yet updated my iPad d air because I'm afraid the same thing will happen.

Clearing Old Emails and Contacts

I have an old Bold 9870 and now use a Z10. I need to clear all the emails and contacts from the Bold so I can load a new Sim and let someone else use the phone. I cannot see how to clear all the emails from the server or how to prevent the new user reading all my emails and coantacts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks Steve

You'll need to do a security wipe on the phone.
On your homescreen, follow Options>Security>Security Wipe OR Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running. Once on the Security Wipe page, follow the instructions to clear the phone of all personal data.
Let us know if that helps you.

3GS + OS4.0: Contact fileds missing and contacts missing

Since I upgraded to OS4.0 on my iPhone 3GS, two things have gone wrong:
1. Many of my contacts have disapeeared from the Contacts list. I can only find the missing contacts if I search for them in Spotlight Search. The other thing that has changed is that now all contacts that have not disappeared from the Contacts list appear as as belonging to a group called "All Contacts". What can I do to recover all the contacts that Spotlight Search can find somewhere in the phone but that do not appear in the Contacts list? There is no use in recovering a previous backup in Itunes, because I didn't do a backup before this issue. All the contacts are in the phone, except that maybe 75% of them are lost somewhere and only available through Spotlight Searck.
2. Since the update to 4.0, everytime I want to add a new contact, I only have two fields available: Mobile (phone) and Home (email). All the other fields (such as Home phone, Work phone, etc.) are missing. Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Daniel

Yes, I've tried all that.
And I was already thinking of restoring as new, but I was afraid I would lose something on the way. Is there a way to restore as new and then go back to any OS version previous to 4.0? Will all my apps, music and contacts be available after restoring?
Thanks,
Daniel
The basics from the manual are reboot, reset, and restore.
Have you rebooted the device?
Have you tried resetting all settings?
If neither of those works, the next step would be to restore as new and then re-sync your contacts, media, and apps.

Favorites and Contacts Missing from Phone App

When I go into the Phone App on my Iphone 6 I only see Recents, Keypad and Voicemail at the bottom. I used to see Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail. Favorites and Contacts are missing.
I still have the regular Contacts app and can see my contacts are in there so the issue is just related to the phone app.
This is what I see...

If the reset does not cure the issue, check Settings > General > Usage and make sure your available storage is at least 15% or so of your total storage.

How do I find Outlook identities with all my old emails and contacts?

I recently had to reinstall the OS on my 27" iMac due to the Mavericks update greyed the screen on start up. I went through all the proceedures with a senior Apple technician so that I now have the OS working fine. All the old data was saved onto another iMac 21" using a firewire cable before the OS reinstallation of the 27" iMac and then tranfered back after (all being taken step by step with the Apple tech). I have not been able to find the Oulook identities of the previous email account, therefore I have just set up a new one. I have been intyo Microsoft Utility Database and the only identity to choose from is the new one, obviously I have no contacts or my old emails. I do have a Time Machine back up from a couple of months prior to this happening if that is an option.
Can anyone help with this please?
Many thanks

I have had a look in the time capsule.....bad news on that front, it is empty although it had been regualry updating every hour when it was connected previous (had a bit of a move around with both the office and home). This had happened before and Apple replaced the Time Capsule with a new one along with a new hardrive in the 27" iMac, I wonder if that same problem had not been resolved now seeing the Time Capsule has nothing backed up. My word this is frustrating, the hours I have spent on the phone with Apple tech and still having issues, anyway one thing at a time.
Thanks for the help!

How can i retrieve my old email and contacts lists after software update?

After updating the sfotware on my 3gs phone, i have lost all my contacts, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc. Is there any way to retrieve them?

Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
Has the device been used as designed? If so, simply re-sync them.
Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

Email and Contacts missing in iTunes 11 for OSX Mavericks

I just upgraded my mac to OSX Mavericks. Prior to upgrading I had Mountain Lion. In iTunes, I used to be able to choose which email account I wanted to sync with my iPhone / iPad etc. After upgrading, this option is missing.
According to Apple : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
Apparently I am expected to update this info on my devices using iCloud. Does anyone have any instructions on how to do this? Is there some other way I can update my devices ? Most of my email accounts are for work, and I think it may be a violation of my company's security policy, if I am supposed to upload my passwords etc to iCloud.

I found this other link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847?viewlocale=en_US
So if I use a non-icloud email address (eg: work email address, gmail, yahoo etc), that means I need to enter the passwords and settings on each iDevice I own?? Why would they do this? It makes no sense, and is so tedious.

Transfer mail and contact from an old account to a new one ?

Hi,
The employe from the company where I got my internship are currently using mail address that are like [email protected] and the company wants them to
use the new mail address [email protected] (in both case the employee are using outlook).
The problem is that they would like to keep their old mail and contact. I know you can do a manual archive but can you import it in a new account ? Will it also
save the contact of the user ? Since it's a new account with a new domain, I really have no idea how to transfer mail and contact from the old account to the new one.
Best regards,
Dimitri

This step-by-step article describes how to copy or how to move your Personal Address Book (PAB) from one computer to another
computer.
On all installations, including those with no e-mail accounts, Microsoft Outlook creates a default Outlook Address Book. The Outlook
Address Book consolidates all your Outlook Contacts folders. The Outlook Address Book is a virtual address book instead of a physical address book because Outlook does not store the Outlook Address Book as a file that is separate from your data store. The
Outlook Address Book provides a view to your Contacts folders.
Unlike the Outlook Address Book, a personal address book (PAB) is a physical address book that Outlook stores on disk that is separate
from your data store. You can add one PAB to an e-mail profile, and use the PAB to store additional contact information.
You can use the PAB to store personal addresses or to store other contact information that you want to keep separate from your other
Outlook data. Additionally, you can use a PAB to share addresses with other users. The PAB uses a .pab file name extension, and Outlook creates the PAB file when you add the PAB to your e-mail profile.
How to identify the PAB file that your e-mail profile uses
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
Under You can choose a directory or address book below to change or remove it, click Personal Address Book, and then
click Change.
Note the path of your PAB file that is in the Path box. You will require this information to find the PAB file in step 3 in the "How to copy the PAB file to
a second computer" section of this article.
For example, C:\Exchange\Mailbox.pab indicates that a PAB named Mailbox.pab is located on a Microsoft Exchange folder on your drive C.
Click OK, and then click Finish to close all dialog boxes.
On the File menu, click Exit.
How to copy the PAB file to a second computer
Quit all e-mail programs.
Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
In the Folders pane, expand the folders to locate the PAB file whose path you took note of in step 5 in the "How to identify the PAB File that your e-mail profile
uses" section of this article.
Copy the PAB file to a 3.5 inch disk, and then use that disk to copy the PAB file to the second computer. Note the path of the PAB file on the second computer.
For example, if you copy the PAB file named Mailbox.pab to a folder that is named Address Book on drive C, the path of the address book is as follows:
C:\Address Book\Mailbox.pab
Alternatively, if your two computers are on the same network, you can copy the PAB file from the source computer to a network share on the second computer.
For more information about how to perform this task in Microsoft Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or your online Help.
Note You can save the PAB file in any folder on the destination computer as long as you remember the location.
How to configure your second computer to use the new PAB file
If you do not have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you must add the service before
you can add the new PAB file to your profile. To add the Personal Address Book service for the new PAB file, follow these steps:
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Additional Address Book Types box, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
In the Path box, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second computer" section
of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click OK.
If you receive the The E-mail account you have just added will not be start until you choose Exit from the file menu, and then restart Outlook prompt, click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit, and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
If you have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you can change the service to use the
new PAB file. To change an existing Personal Address Book service to use the new PAB file, follow these steps:
On the second computer, start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order list, click Personal Address Book, and
then click Change.
On the Personal Address Book tab, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second
computer" section of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click the PAB file, click OK, and then click Finish.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Quit and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
Note There can be only one Personal Address Book service per e-mail profile. There is not a method for merging
one PAB file with another. You can use the Outlook Import and Export Wizard to merge the active PAB entries in your Contacts folder.
Additionally, you can add both recipients and distribution lists to contacts that are in the Personal Address Book interface in
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
For more information about the Outlook Import and Export Wizard, click Microsoft
Office Outlook Help on the Help menu,
type Outlook Import and Export Wizard in
the Search for box
in the Assistance pane, and then click Start searching to

Missing past emails and contacts

with the new security process, when i logged into my email account, it looks like a brand new account. Everything is missing such as emails received/sent and contacts. i need to get access to these emails. thank you.

Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

I upgrade to Iphone software version 7.0.4.All of my photos and contacts are now missing.

I upgraded my iphone to the software version 7.0.4
since the upgrade all of my photos and contacts are missing.
Any suggestions on how to retrieve?

So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried resetting the phone.
I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I n

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.
