Problem viewing contacts backed up from my iphone4 on my pc

I have backed up all info from my iphone4 onto my computer. How do i view my contacts on my pc?

Then your contacts are not available on your PC in a viewable format - they need to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts.
If whichever supported address book app available on your computer is not being used and is empty - contains no contacts (Windows Contacts is free and included with Windows), before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • Problems migrating contacts' phone numbers from droid HTC to droid 4.

    Hello- Advice please. Just bought Droid 4. Set up FB and Gmail accounts with no problems. Contacts migrated from Droid HTC. EXCEPT contact's actual phone numbers. Anyway of getting these numbers back? Thanks!

    that's one of the reasons i use backup assistant, for folks with phone numbers & no email from way back, before the upgrade to the droid x in dec '10.
    if the numbers were in ba, they should be there. i've used ba for years without any problems.
    ba won't do a backup if a contact is in gmail contacts.

  • I am having problems viewing movies I rented from Itunes!

    Happy holidays everyone!  So I rented 2 movies from my 2nd Gen Apple TV this morning.  The content loads without an issue but it will not validate the authorization to play the movie.  I checked the software and reupdated it accordingly.  Now, mysteriously, the rented movies no longer appear in my start up menu and I still have the same problem with not being able to play the rented content.  My Netflix account streams media with no difficulty.  Whats the deal?  Any ideas?

    Hi, I have the same problem.  It keeps trying to authorize - one time it said servers down try later.  I tried again, then it seemed to lock in authorizing mode, so I restarted.  I must have clicked on the film a number of times to view, and finally it said that it has been rented!  But it disapeared from the start up menu as rented.  Maybe something is going on because of the holidays - too many of us,  Anyone else out there?

  • Problem Viewing and Opening Files from the Creative Cloud

    I am using Photoshop Touch v1.7.5 on an iPad4.
    When I try to open an existing file from the creative cloud not all of my files and folders are displayed. My list of folders appear alphabetically and stop at those starting with the letter L. Therefore I cannot open all of my files that have previously been uploaded to the cloud.
    Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
    If it's a bug, is Adobe working on it?
    When can we expect an update?

    Here is a link to a conversation I started conceening this very issue.
    Version 1.7.5 Manual Sync Failure
    I Had concerns about this problem back in November.
    It is apparently a bug. Since Adobe has no customer support for the Photoshop Touch app, those of us who primarily make use of the creative cloud and the app are paying for a service that at the moment doesn't completely work.
    It is very frustrating that customers paying for a creative clould account and using the photoshop touch app have only this forum as a source of customer support. As a result, you can't depend on receiving information from someone who is actually an Adobe employee.
    I hope that Adobe is working to fix this problem. However, we don't really know if or when that may happen because of the lack of information that is supplied.

  • Problems viewing exported .mov file from Mac for viewing on PC

    I am working with a reporter who has a PC at home while I am editing a video for her using FCE 4.1 on a MacBook Pro, using HD footage from a Canon Vixia HF20 AVCHD camera. I burned a draft of the video we are working on for her to look at on her home PC, exporting the FCE project as a straight .mov file. But she could not view it on her PC even though she has viewed .mov files on her computer in the past (but this is the first time she has tried to look at .mov file exported from FCE on a Mac). What might the issue here be? Do I need to export the file in a different way? Might she have an older version of Windows Media Player or be unable to view certain versions of .mov files on her computer? Should I hand it off to her instead as an .mp4 file? Any help much appreciated.
    Douglas

    You'll need to copy the Apple HDV Codec to your MacBook. Since it won't be Intel native (unless you get FCP 5.1) you'll have to force QuickTime Player to run in Rosetta; it should be a setting in the Get Info window for QT Player. You should then be able to view the video (though I haven't tested this myself).
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i get my contacts back down from icloud

    I am trying to switch to a new phone but I don't know how to get my contacts on the new phone without having to type all of them again.
    iPhone 4

    If your contacts are at https://www.icloud.com all you should need to do is setup iCloud on your new phone with Contacts turned on (as seen in the lower picture in step 2 in https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html ) and they should automatically download. I just did the same recently and it worked very quickly.

  • TS4036 is there a way to restore one item in the back up without erasing the entire ios devise or can you view your back up from your computer to save to the computer?

    I erased an important recording off of my iphone 5.  It was backed up to the cloud but I don't want to erase everything else to restore this.  Is there a way to restore one item or is there a way to go into the cloud on the computer and download the recording?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    One of the cons of backups is that you have to restore the whole backup in order to restore one item.
    As you have a backup, open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. After erasing the device, it will ask you to restore a backup, so follow the steps. It's long but it's the only way to get this video back

  • Is it possible to view data backed up to iCloud (such as contacts from an old iPhone) without actually restoring the data to a device?

    Can I view contacts backed up to the iCloud from my old iPhone without actually restoring the data on a new device?

    If you have a backup, yes,  You can restore the new device from the old backup.  Without a backup, no.
    Without a backup, and without the device, you no longer have any of your data to put on anything anymore.
    You can redownload purchased content from the iTunes and App stores - just use the same AppleID as you did with the old device.

  • Unable to view local HTML content from "Help Content Only" SSL  iFrame

    Hi
    Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to view local HTML files within an iFrame when generating Help Content Only SSL content which is also locally deployed?
    I have had no problem viewing local html files from within an iFrame with a locally viewed Browser-Based Help project but despite trying a number of variations on the syntax, I simply cannot obtain the same result from a Help Content Only SSL that is then incorporated within a merged help system. I can however create hyperlinks to view local content using the following syntax (file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html - the only drawback for local preview is that you must right-click and select "open in new tab"). Essentially, I am trying to eliminate the requirement to have to right-click and open in new tab to view local html files.
    The project I am working on is deployed both locally and remotely and this whole process is necessary for emergency management and business continuity purposes.
    I hope my explanation isn't too convoluted and would be glad to clarify it further if required. I would appreciate any assistance!

    Hi John
    I appreciate you and Peter obtaining this  information from Adobe and I appreciate your continuing patience in  trying to understand what I am doing.
    I will start  from the beginning and hopefully clarify my process when deploying my  application locally (my remote process differs somewhat but is not  germane to this discussion). Obviously this will contain some repetition from previous posts but I hope it helps...
    The project itself integrates content created from Adobe RoboHelp with content created within Adobe Dreamweaver
    First, I should mention that I am using RoboHelp 8 as I don't believe I have addressed which version I am using. There's nothing particularly unusual about the project itself.
    Utilizing Dreamweaver I have created a self-contained HTML-only (no server-side functionality) website which is placed at the root level of the C: drive
    Within the RoboHelp project I create a hyperlink to access the local HTML files from the RoboHelp topic pages. The process I use to do so is from within the HTML view of the specific topic page and I use the following file path: "file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html". The only end-user requirement is that they must right-click and select "open in new tab", otherwise the link does not work. Please note, this is ONLY required for accessing the local HTML files.
    I output my RoboHelp project using the Adobe Air SSL, with the output type set to "Help Only Content" which creates the .rha files. I utilize multiple .rha files within my project as each .rha file constitutes a module specific to an individual municipality (in my particular instance)
    I use the Help Viewer Wizard from the RoboHelp "Toolbox" pod to create what I refer to as the "shell" .air file. Once the "shell" .air file created from the Help Viewer Wizard is  installed, it creates a shortcut on my desktop.
    I place an XML .helpcfg file within the directory on C:Program Files where my "shell" .air file has been installed to reference each .rha module which must be placed at the root level of the C: drive in order to be properly referenced by the .helpcfg file
    By double-clicking on the desktop shortcut created in Step 6 it opens the "shell" module which, in turn, loads in each individual .rha file which can be accessed individually from the drop-down menu in the top-right corner
    Why do I do it this way?? My organization severely restricts admin privileges on our workstations. We have one IT person / several hundred officers so I needed to create a system where the only time we need IT assistance is in the initial installation of the "shell" .air file created from the Help Viewer Wizard and placement of the .helpcfg file within the C: Programs folder. Once this is done, because the .rha files are on the C: drive, I can swap these out and update as necessary (we currently have an annual renewal cycle) and we require no further IT intervention. The local system I have just described has hyperlinks to the online browser-based help so that users can also access it and see any content updates made throughout the course of the school year
    Having said all that, based on the model I have just described, I have been trying to create iFrames from within my RoboHelp 8 topic pages (placed on my C: drive) to access the local HTML Dreamweaver site (also on my C: drive). The problem I have been having is that the resultant iFrames display only a blank white page and I have tried a number of variations on the syntax of the file path without success.
    The process I have been using to create the iFrame is as follows:
    In Design view, select Insert >> HTML >> iFrame
    In the iFrame dialog box, provide a name for the iFrame and then navigate to the local file on my C: drive level Dreamweaver HTML-only website that I want to link to.
    Click "Apply" and from the resulting dialog box states that "This action will create an external link to the help system... Do you want to continue?", I click "Yes"
    The resultant file path is "../../../../../folderName/fileName.html" which obviously won't work but I have created the iFrame and now I switch over to HTML view and insert the file path that I have been using for the hyperlinks ("file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html"). I also modify the width to 100% and the height to 1000 px
    The user is not being directed to a different domain. So, if as Adobe states, that iFrames are "supported in local AIR Help (.rha) as well" then I don't know why it will not work for me. Again, this is the file path that allows me to create a hyperlink which will access my local Dreamweaver HTML files: "file:/C:\folderName\fileName.html" so if that syntax works for a hyperlink, why will it not work for the iFrame?
    The videos I referenced are also contained within the local Dreamweaver HTML site
    My usage of the term "merged help" may have been unclear and hopefully steps 1-8 outline what I am doing
    Again, I am very grateful to all who have joined this discussion to try to help me! I think it should be manifestly evident by now that I am self-taught and basically that's the only excuse I can offer in my defense for my poor articulation. Not too many years ago I wanted nothing whatsoever to do with computers!

  • HT4859 Are contacts backed up?

    Hi
    Are contacts backed up from the iphone! From icloud iphone backup or icloude pc backup.  
    Are contacts backed up from the phone from itunes backup on to pc.
    Also when backed up in either program are they synced if so which way?  Basically I want to back up my contacts but not sync them as alter them on my phone.
    Is there another way to do this?

    Apple databases like contacts and calendars are not backed up to icloud, since the data resides in their own database on icloud.  You cannot perform a backup from a pc to icloud.  The only way for you to have your own backup is to sync data via icloud to the computer (you probably already do that) and then to make periodic backups of the computer to the external hard drive you may be using for backups.  For example, on a mac, use Time Machine.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • HT204150 To get my daughter's iphone4 setup I used my account#, and because I did this my contacts were on her phone. She deleted my contacts from her phone and they are now off of my phone. How do I get my contact back on my iphone4s??? Please help becau

    I tried to also remove my account# from my daughter's phone so that we could get one assigned to her, but there is no edit prompt, so please tell me how to accomplish this. I really need to get my contacts back if that is possible, which I hope it is.

    When you share an iCloud account any synced data such as contacts is merged.  Also, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the other.  (That's what iCloud does; it syncs changes across your devices so they maintain consistent data.)  Unfortunately, you contacts are no longer in iCloud.  Your only option is to try restoring your phone to your last backup, which may recover your contacts.
    To sort out your iCloud issue, one of the phones need to be migrated to a separate account.  On the phone that will be moving, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your daughter's data from your account, and vice versa).
    Another thing to avoid is using the same ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  If you do, you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  If you're doing this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (such as your iCloud ID).  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

    We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

    Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection.  You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine.  You can purchase the router at 3gstore
