I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account.   In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere.  Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc.  The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up.  You restore the data from the backup.  (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

  • Since installing OS X 10.9 some (not all) of my mailboxes have lost the contents of their mail messages. Can I restore them?

    Since installing OS X 10.9 last week, my Mail app is malfunctioning. I can no longer read the contents of old mail messages in some of my mailboxes. Others are fine. Can I restore them?

    As EtreCheck just provides a snapshot in time, it is not terribly useful for figuring out what is slowing the system down unless you have known bad actors running on your Mac that show up in the report.
    You need to watch Activity Monitor when it slows down and see what is chewing up CPU and Memory.
    If the Memory Pressure gets into the Red while using it, then it is likely not enough RAM for what you are trying to do. With the check you posted above, you weren't having any memory issues at that moment.
    You've got a handful of startup items which I know nothing about. Try disabling them and see if things are better.
    User Login Items:
        WBE Desktop Notifier
        WorkspaceUpdate
        iTunesHelper
        AdobeResourceSynchronizer
    And
    [loaded]    com.starfield.backupservice.plist 3rd-Party support link
    You can test by booting into Safe Mode. If it works reasonable well there, it is likely one of the startup or login items.
    If not, I would agree with others that it is the lack of RAM.

  • I deleted my contacts by mistake and can't restore them from time capsule

    Please Help!!
    I deleted around 4000 contacts by mistake with a script deleting the annoying duplicates that come with cloud syncs.
    I can't restore them from my time capsule, I have read other posts and they suggest to copy the contacts folder in a back up from my time machine, Time Machine volume -> Users ->Yued1 -> Library -> Application Support -> CONTACTS, coping the folder in to my desktop and deleting the one in my computer all with out internet connection so iCloud won't cause problems, export the contacts, connect to the internet and then once connected let iCloud do its thing and then import the exported contacts, it all sounds good but when I mount my time capsule volume I get the folder backups.backupdb>Yued's Macbook Pro>(The backup folder of the date I choose)>Macintosh HD>Users>yued1 but Inside yued1 there is no Library folder, I did the command in terminal to show all files and folders, terminal accepted it relaunched finder but still won't see library, the only folder in my time capsule with library, is inside Macintosh HD but doesn't have a contacts folder inside application support.
    I have OS 10.9.4 processor 2.2 GHz i7 and 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I don't know what time capsule I have except that is a 1TB from 2011
    I really appreciate your time helping me out. thank you!

    Thanks for your help,
    It takes forever to go from one window to another back in time, once I get to the one I want and click restore It goes back to my desktop as it would when restoring something else but the contacts stay the same...

  • I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time.  How do I do that?

    I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time.  How can I do this.  All of my songs have check marks by them.  Help!

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

    As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

    how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

    Question?
    I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

    Hello,
    if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
    1. Backup your catalog first
    2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
    3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
    4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
    As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

  • Oracle Error 01034 After attempting to delete a large number of rows

    I sent the command to delete a large number of rows from a table in an oracle database (Oracle 10G / Solaris). The database files are located at /dbo partition. Before the command the disk space utilization was at 84% and now it is at 100%.
    SQL Command I ran:
    delete from oss_cell_main where time < '30 jul 2009'
    If I try to connect to the database now I get the following error:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    df -h returns the following:
    Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
    /dev/md/dsk/d6 4.9G 5.0M 4.9G 1% /db_arch
    /dev/md/dsk/d7 20G 11G 8.1G 59% /db_dump
    /dev/md/dsk/d8 42G 42G 0K 100% /dbo
    I tried to get the space back by deleting all the data in the table oss_cell_main :
    drop table oss_cell_main purge
    But no change in df output.
    I have tried solving it myself but could not find sufficient directed information. Even pointing me to the right documentation will be higly appreciated. I have already looking at the following:
    du -h :
    du -h8K ./lost+found
    1008M ./system/69333
    1008M ./system
    10G ./rollback/69333

    3.8G ./tmp
    150M ./redo/69333
    150M ./redo
    42G .
    I think its the rollback folder that has increased in size immensely.
