What happened to my contacts????

I have had SKYPE for over 10 years...same account. I built a list of contacts and also over the years set up family members computers so all one of us had to do was open the skype screen, see who was logged in and click the video call button and have a video call. I last used it on this computer (Vista) a few months ago and it worked great. Now, everything is different...unrecognizable and unnavigatible!!! What have you done??? I had to change my password because my old one did not work, there is nothing the I can see that would allow me to get all my invited contacts back...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING MESSING WITH A GOOD THING TO THIS DEGREE??? and yes you better believe I am yelling! If I can't figure this out, how is my 80 year old mother 3000 miles away going to configure her skype screen? The big QUESTION is: How do I get back to what I had without having everyone I know re-accept an invite? How do I even get to where I could send an invite...even if I wanted?

If you continue to use the very same account to sign in to Skype the contact list will remain the same. Your contact list is stored on our server, so it won't be affected by you upgrading your Skype client to a newer version.

Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

What happened to my contacts list in Yosemite mail

I use to have a pull down list of contacts that I could pick and choose (holding down the Command Key) several addressees. I can't find that pull down list. Selecting the + only allows one selection at a time, not several.

Dick2111,
I appreciate your response, but I would hardly call it an acceptable work around. Your work around only applies if you "pidgeon hole" folks into distinct groupings or contact lists. I enjoyed and fully utilized the pull down menu in Mountain Lion. I would enter the BCC field, access the pull down menu of addressees, and double click on each one that I wanted to copy into the BCC field. Then, with Maverick's, they diminished the ability to double click and finally came up with a "work around" my having to hold down the Command key as I selected individual contacts to move to the BCC field. That was totally acceptable and I appreciated the escalation and work on the Engineers part. This work around was only produced after my trouble call was elevated to Senior Engineers. Now even the Command key option is gone with Yosemite, and the only response I got from Apple Customer Support was to report it via the "feedback" page. That to me is not unresponsive, but pretty close to it.
It might be an "oversight" but to me is either sloppy programming or perhaps deleting what is thought as infrequently used features to incorporate new features without "growing" the size of the Operating System.
I know i am wrong, but right now I feel it is part of the overall migration plan to an eventually have just one operating system for all Apple platforms, which (tongue in cheek) means if ya can't do it with your thumbs, it can't be important. I am not sure if there are any third party programs out that address this issue, but I'm not a real fan of replacing Apple core programs with 3rd party stuff, but I may have no choice. Bummer!

IOS 4.3.1 - What happened to Gmail Contacts Push?

Can someone at Apple explain why: In iOS 4.3.1 the 'Contacts' option has been removed from Gmail account setup? Instead we now have to connect the iPhone physically to iTunes via USB and enable Gmail contact sync via the 'Info' tab? One can only speculate that Apple have finally realised that pushing contacts from Gmail ate into their MobileMe revenues to such an extent that they have elected to penalise Gmail (or should I say 'Google apps') users to impair Google and reposition MobileMe which is way overpriced?
Or am I completely wrong?

So in order to configure push Gmail we have to use the MS Exchange wizard? NOT THE ONE CALLED GMAIL?
Push access for received email has NEVER been supported with a Gmail account on the iPhone until Google supported accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app.
What is the MS Exchange Wizard?
Meanwhile there is a sync to Gmail option under the iPhone iTunes Info tab?
This option has ALWAYS been available - since day one - long before Google supported accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. Some may prefer not accessing their Gmail account as an Exchange account. Some with a Gmail account don't store their contacts with their Google online address book. Because Google now supports accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app which everyone with a Gmail account may not want to use, Apple is supposed to remove the option to sync Google contacts direct via the iTunes sync process?

HT4972 I updated my 4 to the iOS5. What happened to my contacts? How can I get them back?

What happened to my contact pictures in text messaging?

A couple of nights ago, my list of text conversations are not showing the contact's picture. When I go into a specific conversation, the picture is there, but not when I am in the whole list of conversations. Has anyone had this problem? I have tried resetting my phone to factory settings several times and that has not helped. Any suggestions?
I know that it is not a crucial part of a phone's operation, but gosh, it is really convenient to pick the person you want to send a text to by choosing their picture from the list of conversations...

CS4 - What happened to InDesign Contact Sheet Tool?

I used this feature all the time. I guess one is supposed to use the "output" feature instead, but it's useful in many cases to have an InDesign file.

David,
The script takes advantage of InDesign's templating features to do exactly what you want.
The first thing you'll do is create an InDesign template of exactly what you want your document to look like (without the images). In that template, you can set the page margins (the script honors them), and set the styles that control the appearance of the image frames, caption frames, and caption text. You also place static text, such as your copyright and ordering message, as well as your logo and anything else you'd like to have on the page.
To set the style of the image frames, create an object style with the name "images". Some of the features of an object style are control over the fill, stroke, corner options, transparency, drop shadow, feathering, bevel and emboss, etc.
To set the style of the caption frames, create an object style named "captions".
To set the paragraph style of the caption text, create a paragraph style named "labels".
If you don't create these styles, the script creates them for you, so you can adjust all the frames and text just by modifying the styles.
You can also tell the script to directly save the resulting sheet to PDF, and you can set which PDF preset to use when saving.
By mid-day tomorrow, I'll have an example on my site that includes a sample template file and sample output using that template file.
Thanks
Bob

If you have contacts syned between iPhone and MBP and iPhone quits working what happens to contacts

If iPhone and MacBookPro contacts are synced on icloud and the iPhone quits or resets itself what happens to the contacts on the other device?

I thought mabee they would sync and use the ipone as the newest change.

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you see all your contacts on a computer at...
iCloud.com

I just set up my Iphone and I set up Icloud. Now I don't have my contacts in my phone. What happened to them?

I just set up my Iphone and after doing so set up Icloud. Now I don't have any contacts in my Iphone. What happened to them?

If you just set up your iPhone, where did the contacts on your iPhone come from?
When you manually turned contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account, if the Contacts app had any contacts you should have been provided a merge, replace, or keep prompt.

What happened to my contacts????
