Inactive memory is your file system cache.
The cache is trying to save you from expensive disk I/O (where expensive means in time and battery life).  Running that disk a lot drains your battery faster, and it is orders of magnitude slower than data already in RAM.  Unused RAM is a waste of money.
Is your system running slow?  If so, then start looking at all those 3rd party additions you have loaded.
Do you really need "2" virtual machines?  VirtualBox and Parallels?
As mentioned above, get rid of the anti-virus software.  It is just eating system resources.
Do you need MacFUSE.  It has been responsible for performance issues for some users (all of which may depend on what kind of file system format you are trying access).
Do you need to run your own Samba server?
You have OpenVPN and TunnelBrick.  Are they both needed?

  • Restore contacts from the iPhone to our iMac?

    Recently the hard drive in our iMac crashed and needed replacements.  We want to restore the contacts from the iPhone.  How do we make that happen?

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you would have to enter a unique contact in your computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge.

  • Iphone 4s trying to restore contacts from old iphone via itunes backup

    I recently upgraded my old iphone 3gs to a 4s. I know way behind the times. I backed up the 3gs to both the icloud and to my mac via itunes before I went to the store. Next day all my contacts are gone, try to sync to the icloud only to find out the they must of overwrote my icloud contacts via a backup from the 4s some how. Again think no problem I will just restore via itunes, when I restore though it starts up like it is brand new asking how I would like to set it up. I choose via itunes and it asks me to connect to itunes. I am already connected and the screen doesn't change on the 4s no matter how long I wait. I desperately need these contacts and am looking for some help either using itunes are getting more creative by manually pulling them out of the backup some how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One thing to try, is to create a new login account on you computer.
    Log into that account and open address book.
    Create one contact in address book.
    Now open itunes.
    Once through the initial setup, connect the iphone.
    Now go to the info tab and check to sync contacts.
    You should get the option to merge data.
    If this works, there is still something corrupt in your address book.
    Try exporting all you contacts then delete all out of address book.
    Quit address book and reopen.
    Create a new test contact, then try syncing with iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

  • How can I restore contacts from a previous back up?

    I accidentally erased my contacts from my iPhone. I can see previous backups on my iTunes preferences. But the only option is to delete them. Does anyone know how to restore one of those backups?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  have you failed to sync your contacts to your computer?

    how do i remove my linkedin contacts from my iphone?

    I went to the Apple Store and asked. Basically on the screen that pops up on iTunes when you plug your iPod in, you click "Restore". This puts the iPod back to the original factory settings. This will erase everything on your iPod including music, photos, calenders, and contacts.

  • 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:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

  • Can I restore contacts from an earlier iCloud backup?

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me...!
    My son had contacts syncing via iCloud on his iPod so ended up with all the contacts from my iPhone.  At his request I removed all my work/social contacts, just leaving on his iPod the few for family members that he needed.
    I've just realised that of course my iPhone has now synced with the updated contacts on his iPod and all 250+ work/social contacts have gone.
    I have tried restoring and merging from iCloud but the latest backup only contains the family contacts. 
    Is it possible to access an earlier version of the iCloud backup, or does it only store the very latest version?
    Thanks for any suggestions you may be able to give me.

    How about if I go into iTunes - Info - Advanced - Replace information on this iPhone (and select Contacts)?
    It says:
    During the next sync only, iTunes will replace the selected information on this iPhone with information from this computer.
    Where does that contacts info come from? Is it downloaded from iCloud or does iTunes on my MacBook Air store an earlier backup of this data?
    Grasping at straws here!
    Thanks for any help...

  • When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays in correctly

    When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays incorrectly,
    .I usually use this tab for doctors and allergies

    I just attempted the share myself with a contact and found it did not transmit the notes field either. I've only used this method for sharing maybe twice since I've had my iPhones. I don't remember if it ever worked before, and then I wouldn't know why it wouldn't. Sorry I couldn't help any more than that.

  • Sir I have lost my all contact from my iPhone 4s, can we get them back

    Dear Sir,
    I have lost my all contact from my iPhone, Can we get them back. If yes then HOW ?

    Thanks

    There are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
    The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
    If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
    If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there.  If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • How to save contacts FROM an iphone 3GS

    My main computer with which my iphone has been synced (grammar?) has irretrievably died. I have backups of most of my music, apps etc. can be downloaded again but I have about 500 contacts on my iphone which I need to keep and save on my new iMac. Not surprisingly when I plug in the iphone iTunes asks me if I want to erase it and sync with the new computer. Presumably if I do this then all my contacts will be lost.
    Is there some program I can use to save my contacts from the iphone to the Mac and then re-sync them back again onto the iphone?
    Thanks

    The iphone, by design, will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. That's what the message means you're getting. Since you've backed up your itunes library & added such to your new computer, this won't be a problem. Regarding your contacts & other data, do the following:
    If you restore all of your data(photos, music, apps) to your new computer, including your itunes library, you'll be OK. Remember, the itunes library sync is one way, computer>phone. Same with photos not in your camera roll, one way, computer>phone. Just do the following:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in Address Book & iCal. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    Your phone should look exactly like it did when you started, but now you're syncing to your new computer.

  • HT5824 HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.

  • How do I download my contacts from my Iphone to Icloud so I can add them to my Ipad

    I have all my contacts on my Iphone, I have recently set up an I cloud account and want to transfer my contacts from my Iphone, to I cloud so they can be uploaded onto my Ipad?
    Can I do this or is there a easier way?

    I never said that it would, I am correcting the entry errors right now.
    Now that you have set iCloud as the default account for new contacts (as previously you were not entering them in the iCloud account) can you enter 1 test contact into your iPhone, wait a short while then go to www.icloud.com and check that it is there, if it is it not please refresh the page. Once it appears on the iCloud website it should also appear on the iPad.
    Try that and post back with the result.
    Note: Contacts that are in Hotmail or Facebook are not in iCloud and will need you to either transfer them to iCloud (bad idea for Facebook) or add the same accounts to the iPad as are present on the iPhone.
