Somehow, I erased all of my contacts while syncing music. Any clue on how I go about locating and redownloading them? Thanks

Hopefully you have those contacts on your computer from a previous sync. If you do, connect your iphone, click on your iphone, and then go to "info" and make sure "sync all contacts" is checked. Then sync and you should be good to go.

HT4528 I was in a pub in Scotland & used their wi-fi. An update offer that looked legit came up & I did it. Took several minutes, everything seems to be working OK except all my contacts are gone. Any ideas?

I'll give those drivers a try the next time I install Windows 8. However I still don't understand how they would be any different to what is included in Boot Camp Assistant that came with Mountain Lion. Can you or anyone else confirm that they are different?
Can you also confirm that you have the Bluetooth radios in Device Manager and that you can discover Bluetooth devices under Windows.
Last question - do you run more than 1 partition in Windows?

Which os do you have? Which version of iPhoto did you update to? Did you check iPhoto's trash? Finder's trash? Did you repair permissions and restart your computer after updating?

All notes on 4S gone. Any idea how this could happen? Have never synced notes. They are just gone.

Well, I know in iOS 5 they can be linked to e-mail accounts, not sure if you had that setup or not.
For future reference, use a program like Evernote, amazing and free, plus dedicated PC apps if you want to view notes on your computer.

Have just install itunes on a new PC running windows 8 and I am getting very bad distortion when playing music, any ideas. Music on web (youtube) is working fine.

Use a different browser.

Have you Enable the Media Sharing on your Router setup page? To enable media sharing on your Router login to the router setup page and click on the Storage tab and below click on the sub tab "Media Sharing" and click on "Specify the Folder" and then add the video folder and click on save settings..
Once done now you can try to scan for video folder on your PS3 and check.

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters. I have heard other people complain about this too. Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening? Hardware issue?

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

They may be in your backup. Try restoring from backup.

I do not receive all my e-mailson all my devices. I seem to get them all on my iPhone 5s, but not all show up on my iPad and iMac. they are all set up the same. Any Ideas on what is going on and what I can do to remedy this? thanks

I have an iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5,an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad with iOS 7.1.2. all software is up to date. My problem is I do not receive all my e-mail on all 3 devices all the time. I seem to get them on my phone , but not all show up on my iMac or iPad. Any ideas as to what is going on and what can I do to resolve this issue? thanks

On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

My IPhone 4 is stuck at Step 3 (Preparing to Sync). Any ideas how to complete the process?

My IPhone 4 is stuck at Step 3 (Preparing to Sync).

You may want to take a piece of paper and carefully slide it into an open slit by the power button. Be very careful since you don't want anything stuck in there.
You can always contact Apple for a replacement.

My download freezes on all my Macs at 996MB. Any ideas how to solve this please?

I am running a bunch of Macs. On all of the ones on which I am running Mountain Lion, the download freezes at 995 or 996 MB. This has happened since the launch of Mevricks and always at the same point, irrespective of the Mac I am trying to download to.
Has anyone any potential solutions?
Thanks,
Simon

just install HotSpot Shield App (it'is free) and it won't stop anymore at 996MB
cheers

In the calendar day view the all day events are all squished up at the top any ideas how to fix that ?

this is something new with the new OS system
thanks

More than likely, especially since hot chocolate is a sticky solution, it has gummed up the headphone port. There is something in there that senses that the headphones are plugged in. You can try to clean it out with maybe a small round toothpick, but it might not be fixable. You may have to make an appointment with the Genius at the Apple store and see about an out of warranty replacement. User damage, including liquid damage is not covered under the warranty.

HT1296 My phone is picking up all my photos from my computer when I sync it and then running out of space - any ideas how to stop that?. Want to download not upload!!!

My phone is uploading photos from my computer when I sync it - any ideas how I can stop this and remove what it's uploaded already?? Edit functions on phone won't delete the uploaded albums :-/

Connect the iPhone to your PC/Mac with iTunes open.
On iTunes do this:
- go to summary (left hand side)
- select the option photos to the right
Here you need to decide how you would like to set how your iPhone syncs photos from your PC/Mac. Its is up to you wether you only want to sync selected or all photos. Once you have made the changes select "Apply" to the bottom right.
Hope this helps

HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

Anyway to revert a sync?? just erased all my contacts

1. address book erased all my contact during a 'find duplicates' operation.
2. hoping that the itunes would ask me what to do (which direction to sync) and hoping that i could put the contacts that were still on my phone back onto my laptop, i did a small test sync (only selecting one small group of contacts)
3. utter desolation when i realized itunes did not ask me anything, it just overwrote the deletions to my iphone **except for the group i had selected**
so
my questions are :
1. can i simply 'revert' a sync?
2. is the sync data stored somewhere that i may be able to manually pluck out my contacts?
3. has this happened to anyone else?

diy_neuroscience,
Try reseting only contacts from .Mac.
If you are syncing other data with .Mac it can take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection to complete.
If it hangs on just contacts, there may be an issue with the SyncService folder, and I would recomend reading the "swarm of bees" article, and possibly contacting AppleCare or a genius bar. That article is here:
