TS4147 iCloud update today removed my main contacts and placed them in the icloud folder along with my other contact groups.. now they are all mixed together.
Outlook 2010. I had a main id plus several other address books. I updated the iCloud control panel today and it merged all of my address books into an iCloud address book, it removed my main contacts and mixed them all into the other address books.
Restore your backup.

I applied the update today to an Iphone 5 and it totally trashed the phone. Total restore WOULD NOT bring it back- it is a nice paper weight- Error 6. Any body got a clue? Have tried restore several times- yes- disconnected all usb devices THX
Did you try all 7 trouble shooting steps outlined Apple Support Page you linked from?

I don't think I see my situation addressed. I have one mobile me account and a separate appleID for purchases. I have 4 devices and my wife has two. Right now they are all using the same mobile me account to sync just the calendar and address book.
1.) I want to add email syncing for my 4 devices and email syncing for my wife's two devices separately, but we want to sync and share the same calendar and address book. Is this possible?
2.) I also have 5 different calendars, one for work, one for home, one for... etc. Is there a way to have different devices only sync certain calendars and not others or is it an all or nothing deal?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
STo begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Generally speaking it is not a good idea to share an iCloud account between different people, it often results in contracts, calendars et cetera being deleted by others. Saying that however you can add secondary iCloud accounts to your devices at settings> mail, contacts, calendars. Secondary accounts do not have all the features of a primary account, but are often very useful. Because you can enable or disable each individual feature of an iCloud account, you can cover almost any situation by using secondary accounts. -
Hi All, I have question about the iMac operating system. I have the last updated. The problem when I manage the place of the folder windows they are all mixing up. I mean they not on the place where I left them. how to set they stay on the same place? I know there are different possibilities to set.
I tried but it not helped for me. What I can do? How and where can set this they stay on their place?
Thanks.
laciOption 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have iCloud set up to sync both my iPhone and iPad. Today, my notes were not synching at all, in the past they have perfectly, so I flipped the Notes switch under iCloud settings off and back on to 'refresh' it, now all of my notes are gone. Is there a way to restore them?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
How long ago was this, some users have reported them coming back after a short time. -
I set up my new iphone 4s and assigned ringtones to my contacts on my phone. A day later each contact showed "multiple ringtones". How do I keep that from happening? I did not physically sync my phone and am set up on icloud to sync. thx.
I had this problem due to Linked contact cards so that each contact was composed of more than one entry. Apparently the Contacts list can get corupted and have more entries than you think. I found the answer in the Linked /Unknown discussion on this community. My reply that I poste dthere fixed the problem.
This is what I wrote:
================================================
I had a problem where I could not get the assigned ringtone to ring correctly. Tried removing and restoring the contacts from MobileMe several times and resetting sync to copy the computer contacts to replace the MobileMe contact. Still no luck. Then I looked at the All Contacts number and it was larger than the total number in my Contacts list on the computer. So there were extras I couldn't see. When I turned off the MobileMe Contacts, some where still left anyway.
I then tried to cleanup the list by looking for hidden contacts. I tried the contacts "cleaner app" I had, called Group, which removes duplicates, but it did not find anything. Then I tried your recommended Cleanup app (seach in App Store for Cleanup), and, lo and behold, it found a lot of contacts that should not have been there still. Cleanup removed them all, leaving the list squeaky clean.
Then I turned on MobileMe Contacts again, and after the Contacts list populated, the number agreed with the number on my computer. And the switching of assigned ringtones now works correctly.
So, I basically did what you recommended, but since I am not using iCloud to sync, since I haven't switched to Lion, I did the same thing using MobileMe.

In a previous version of Firefox, when I brought up history using Ctrl+Shift+H, the library would show my history collapsed into Today, Yesterday, This Week, etc. In the current version of Firefox I am using, it shows each individual entry. Is there a way to change this view?
There are two panes one on the left one on the right.
*The right-hand one shows content of folders from the tree on the left.
*Clicking the black arrow-head on the clock denoting the top of the History collapses or expands that part of the tree.
*Clicking the clock itself displays the top content on the right i.e. it will display the folders for Today etc.
*Click any folder and the content of that folder then displays on the right.If you have used the browser quite a bit you probably need to scroll the righthand pane to see all the content.
The bookmarks are also within folders that behave in a similar manner. With certain viewing options you will even see that type of behaviour when looking at some Windows files and folders. -
TS1702 I think I updated too many apps at once and now they are ALL waiting. How do I fix that?
All my apps are waiting. How do I break out of that status?
Try update using iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

when I updated my Apple tv it now shows about 10 computers on my network which I only have one tv...how do I get rid of the other "computers" listed as they are all the same, this was not happening before I updated the Apple TV
It looks to be a bug. A reboot to computer and/or Apple TV may resolve it.
You can provide feedback to Apple and file a report.

Remove emails off iPhone and leave them on server.
Is there a way like on Blackberry to remove emails off iPhone and leave them on the server? I dont' like that all my emails in the server are on my phone and wonce I delete them, they are gone.
Check your account setting and see what the server is called...if it's something like imap.mail.yahoo.com or imap.aol.com then you have IMAP accounts configured.
IMAP mails stay on the mail server belonging to Yahoo and AOL and each device you read the mail on communicates with the server and moves the items around, into the Trash and marks them as Read etc. ON THE SERVER.
Therefore when you look at the server from another device, you will see it exactly how you left it last time.
POP is different. Each device holds a local copy of the e-mail and can be different to all the other devices, so deleting it on one means it will still be in your Inbox when you look for it on another device, until you delete it on THAT device..
Both Yahoo and AOL support POP accounts as well as IMAP but you'd need to tell your devide which server to use.
POP servers are pop.mail.yahoo.com and opo.aol.com
Those servers are for INCOMING mail.
Outgoiong mail servers are usually called SMTP.aol.com and SMTP.mail.yahoo.com etc. -
The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!
that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore. -
I recently updated from my iPhone 3G to iPhone5. Now, every time I check my contacts, they are all duplicated. How do I resolve (stop) this?
Are you syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account or with an email account that supports syncing contacts over the air in addition to syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?

How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing
How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing
I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.
