Turn off icloud and get old playlists back

my kids pushed something and turned my icloud on and i dont know where all my playlists went and the only way to watch my movies listen to music is to download them i dont know why its doing that or what they pushed. need help

Unfortunately, no.  This only stops your contacts syncing with iCloud; it won't restore them to your phone if they're gone.  Unless you backed them up somewhere, you'll have to recreate them.

  • My iPhone 6plus will no longer connect to my Dodge UConnect system. Phone calls get a beep "phone call completed" message. Music will play though. Just can't make calls. Tried turning off iCloud and repairing but nothing works. It did work a few days

  • Can't turn off iCloud and F'd up my Calendar

    I have an iPhone with my Work calendar Synced with my work computer (outlook Calendar). Also, I have iMac 27" i5 with my Home calendar (iCal).   This has worked fine and separetly for the last 3years.  My home calenders allow me to organise my life with payments and is very important. My work calendar, well that speaks for it's self.
    I install iOS5 on iPhone and Lion on the iMac which unbekownence to me have iCloud syncing on and doing stuff that has totally corupted my iMac Home Calendar.
    My home calendar has my work calander mixed in with my home calendar and reminders popup every few minutes that I have already dissmissed.  They won't stop popping up.  The same one over and over and they go back a month or more.
    Additionally, when I try to add an event it sometimes puts it in very day instead of a monthly re-ocurring event and then it won't delete the event when I try to fix it. 
    I've tried to turn off iCloud, and it does all the right things and appears to turn off but then when I go back in it is on again.
    The Work Calendar (Windows 7 Office 2010) doesn't show any symptoms and has kept working as it should on my work computer as on the iPhone. Neither appear to be effected
    I've tried all the delete files and reinsralls but iCal seems to just get more confused. It renames calendars and is totally out of control to the point of no return.
    I can't find any where which shows how to delete iCal and do a fresh install of iCal and not have iCloud sync.   I have searched Google for months and months with no joy.
    What I need is to stop iCloud and **** it off permently as it appears to be a problem for how I use my apps.  I do not want to use iCloud for calander or anything just yet.   I need to get my original .ics backup in iCal that I have and working on it's own and with out the cloud or syncing.
    Help anyone ... 
    P.S.   I have only one profile, Admin.
              I've tried another profile and it replicates and operated worse than the Admin account with iCal.
              Also I have time machine back to August 2011.  I've tried all the Google fixes and none have worked

    Hmmm!
    Sorry for taking so long to get back.  But the thing was none of the instruction where able to get the iCloud turned off. If anything it is for someone who moves between the Local and the iCloud than turnng off iCloud.
    I want to turn off iCloud syncing in my System Preference and iCal.  iCal is syncing with iCloud and I do not want that.  My iPhone is syncing with iCloud and I don't want that either. I never enabled these options and had to find out where they were before I could even start trying to turning them off.
    My iPads do not I’m unsure why
    Is it possible to un-sync and turn off all iCloud activities on my iMac with Lion 10.7.3?   
    I think I made up a word (Un-Sync) to re-turn back to the original state before the first sync

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?

    I am unhappy with iCloud for a number of reasons. I want to go back to backing up my music to an external HD, storing music on my devices, and turn off iCloud.
    How do I turn off iCloud? I have iTunes on a PC.
    THANKS

    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

    Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
    Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

    I am having same issue on my iPhone 5s. Whenever i am trying login to iCloud from my device setting it's asking for apple id password & every time showing incorrect password verification failed but in fact the password is correct.

  • New macbook and getting old playlists to show up

    I have 2 external HD's with music in itunes folders one is a small 150 GB and the other a 650 GB. The largest external is my old computer (now in an external firewire case) with OS 10.5 and itunes and all my good playlists which had some songs linked on the 2nd 150GB external. When I boot from the 650 gb on my macbook i see the playlists but now with some missing audio when I boot my new MacBook from 650GB external while the 150GB is attached via USB.
    So now my question, after buying a couple of utilities which do not merge everything to the one large external, how do i get all the songs and the 650GB playlist from my old HD to show up on the booted macbook and not when I' m boot from the 650GB external. I have on both external HD approximately 200 gb of music, audiobooks and audio class course material.
    I need the playlist (at least) from the 650GB external and then all the itunes backed up on that external. I really don't need to access the stuff everytime i boot up or attach ipod. But i would like the playlists to be there so when i do decide to update the playlist on my iPod 80 gb i can and just so i don't worry. LOL.
    any help GREATLY appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem.
    The first time i turned the machine on, I got part way through setup assistant and it froze. I turned it off (by holding the power key down). The next time, I got only slightly into setup assistant, and it froze again. The third time, all i get is the crazy picture of how to replace batteries in a wireless mouse. I've tried to restart from the CD and with a variety of restart options. All I get is the battery replacement diagram. Any help out there? Extremely frustrated!

  • I was updating to IOS 8 thru iTunes on my 4S and it came unplugged. Now it wants me to restore settings. Is there a way to undo this and get 'old' phone back with all of my info/pics/contacts/etc?

    I was updating to the IOS 8 thru ITunes on my 4S when it came unplugged from the computer (dumb dog). Now the phone just has an image of plugging in to the ITunes icon and when I plug it in it says its in recovery mode and needs to be restored to original settings and I will lose all of my contacts/photos/etc. Is there a way to reverse this and just get my 'old' phone back with all of my stuff? I only have the free ICloud storage so I know most of my stuff will be lost. Yes I know..,hindsight is 20/20 on buying the backup. Help please!

    In short. No, you cannot unsync.  If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up. 
    Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there.  Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

  • I WANT TO GET RID OF FF4 AND GET OLD FF BACK HELP

    I feel firefox 4 has ruined a perfectly good computer! I dont have time to list all that is screwed up! It's every thing from no sound to not being able to open folders ie. troubleshooting info. I want the old fire fox back! Google chrome dissapeared and won't run after saving download to reinstall. Everything is a mess, I did system restore, no use! Every thing fell apoart after new ff4 was pushed on me.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • TS4337 Ever since I updated the OSX (V 10.9.1) iCal can't be used, when I open it a message pops saying: The server responded with an error, couldn't move calendars to iCloud because an error occurred. I turned off icloud and the same keeps happening.

    Mail is not functioning right, as well as iWorks. And everything started to break down since I updated the OS please help!

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Can I turn off iCloud backup and keep my old backup?

    Basically I am sick of being asked for money for more storage space. I cannot seem to get my iPhone backup under the 5gb free space, so the only option I see is to turn off iCloud backup. Can I do this without deleting the old (original) backup?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Restoring from iCloud - when can I turn off iCloud from old phone?

    Hi - I upgraded from 4S to 6 and I'm restoring from iCloud backup - it's taking a while to download all the apps and photos as I expected.  While it's downloading/restoring from iCloud can I turn off iCloud service from the old 4S or do I have to wait until it's complete on the 6?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • I turned off icloud on my calendar and it deleted my entire calendar.  Is there a way of getting that back?

    I turned off icloud on my calendar and it deleted my entire calendar. I did this because I wanted to add a sport site to auto add my daughters hockey schedule.  For some reason it was not accepting this URL?   Is there a way of getting my calendar back?

    Perfect, that worked.  But I still cannot get this certain URL to work.  It gives me an error message 1.  Any ideas on that?
