When i put my own contacts into my iphone 3gs and deleted existing ones, the same happened on my mums iphone 4? my iphone was hers previously, but has been unlocked by o2, we have different networks and were 12 miles apart when i did it!

My mum upgraded last week from iphone 3gs to iphone 4, I got the iphone 3gs unlocked as of this morning and proceeded to remove her contacts and put my own in.
Several hours later she came home from work to find her contacts on the iphone 4 had been replaced with the same list i had put on mine!
We have different networks, different itunes accounts etc, I can't understand why or how this has happened or most importantly how to fix it as she has lost all her numbers and is understandably very very cross....

contacts are not visible in back up, but if she restores from that back up - contacts will come back to phone. Then all her apps and music have to be synced back again. She will also have all other personal info return to the phone, but all that info will be as old, as back up itself.

  • I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

    I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
    thanks

    The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
    When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.

  • I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

    Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

    Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
    First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
    That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
    For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
    iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
    Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
    Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
    Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.

  • Can PSE6 and CS3 exist on the same Windows computer?

    Sometimes CS3 is too much for the task. Can the 2 peacefully co-exist on the

    I know there are conflicts with Elements 4 and Bridge but have not heard any problems with 6 and Bridge or PhotoShop.

  • Can EJB and BC exist at the same time in one project?

    having to use ADF's BC and EJB to access data in both way due to the special requirements, but I am always getting the deployment failure.
    can Ejbs and BC components exist at the same time in one project?

    thanks for your reply.
    I considered to separate the BC and EJB as the separate project. I just use the EJB component to implement the dynamic tree menu, whether a little make a mountain out of a molehill if you as a separate project.

  • TS2755 I have an 11 yr old and want to use the same apple id because I don't want to allow her an email address now. Is there a way to still use IMessage or does it connect all texts to both phones? How about pics? Thank you.

    I have an 11 yr old who I want to use my apple id on our Iphones jointly. We do not want her to have an email address currently because of some issues. Anyway, does both phones being connected to the same apple id mean that when IMessage is used that we both get the same messages? Also, what causes our pics to each other not to go through the system? Thank you for any assistance!

    IF both devices have the same Apple ID signed in ; it will believe the devices are meant to both recieve them. My biggest recommandation is you can create an email address for your daughter and in the future when she gets her own email address she can chang ethe primary email address to the up to date one.

  • How can I reinstall the earlier version that should have been replaced by the new version but has been wiped off of my 10.4.11 and left me with only sufari mac

    I attempted to install the new version of Firefox as it would not load my Hotmail account. I clicked 'replace' only to be told the new version could not be installed; I now have no Firefox at all to run on my (10.4.11) Mac Book Pro.
    Can anyone let me know if I can reload my previous version of Firefox to use for internet purposes?
    Thanks.

    Current Firefox versions require an Intel processor, which you have, '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8, you have OSX 10.4.11.
    *OSX 10.5 and lower version numbers are no longer supported by Apple, you no longer receive stability or security updates from Apple, and using those old versions expose you to significant security risks online.
    *Additionally, more and more software will not work with the old versions of OSX.
    *See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-10-4-or-powerpc
    *See - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0/system-requirements/
    One suggestion in the first article above is to continue using Firefox 3.6.28 (no longer supported) and could expose you to known security risks online while using Firefox 3.6.28. <u>All Firefox versions that will run under OSX 10.5 and lower make you vulnerable to attack by hackers when you are online.</u>
    Your best option:
    #upgrade OSX to 10.6 or 10.7 or 10.8
    #<s>try using TenFourFox, a third-party build of Firefox for older OSX versions ('''''may not take away the associated risk of using the older OSX versions''''')
    #*See - http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    #*Plugins not supported (extensions are supported), and there are options on this page as to how to install replacements for Adobe Flash and Quicktime, if you use those Plugins - https://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported</s>

How can I fix this. Telstra said it itunes problem which I agree, Problem was not there before io6 up grade. but messages from hubby mates dont come to my phone,  is it only strangers whose number we dont have and the numbers that we both have which would be our kids.  If I send message to hubby it bounces back to me as well as he gets it.  HELP Jenny

    This is what happens when using the same Apple ID on multiple devices for iMessage.
    Options are:
    Use different Apple ID's for iMessage, can still use the same Apple ID for purchases.
    Turn off iMessage.

  • CUP - Unable to assign and delete role at the same time

    Hello everybody,
    I have an issue with CUP.
    Regarding a change account request, if I assign roles, it works. In the other hand, if I delete roles (also with a change account request) it works too. But if I mix both of them in the same request (assigning and deleting roles) it doesn't works. Only the deletion works. Some times we have no error message and some times we have:
    Error provisioning your request. Request no: 94. Error occurred in the system(s) : n/a, error details :
    DR1CLNT200-ZTEST01-USER CREATE-Function template /VIRSA/BAPI_USER_CHANGE could not be retrieved from DR1CLNT200
    Do you have please an idea to solve this issue?
    For information the CUP used is a 5.3 SP 5.0 version.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Ben,
    There may be a possibility of such a behaviour in SP05 as many of the changes in code has been done
    till now which may result into such issue and we can't confirm your findings by re-creating it. However, you can check few things functionally which may resolve this issue:-
    1) This error usually comes when the role selected is already assigned to the user or user doesn't exist in the system for which change request is created.
    2) when this error encounters the system, please take the system logs for that time from 'Monitoring' tab under configuration in 'English' and there the error cause can be found out or please paste the logs so that we can analyse.
    3) Also, you can refer to SAP Note:- 1168508 where many of the role related issues have been resolved after SP05, therefore, for smooth functioning of GRC-CUP 5.3, it's better to upgrade to the latest SP i.e. SP18.11(available at SMP).

  • Can someone help me get my IPOD Touch 3g started? It will only flash the Apple logo off and on. Has been through restore multiple times on different computers, and still will not start.

    I have tried restoring the ipod on different computers, one Vista, and one 7. On both, the restore process seems to complete just as it should, until the point where it says "your IPOD will now restart and will appear in listed devices. This IPOD never restarts. The Apple logo just stays on for approximately 30 seconds and then the screen turns off for five or ten seconds and the logo comes back on, over and over for approximately forty five minutes or so, Occasionally the "connect to USB" will come back on, but that is rare. When that does happen, the I-Tunes recognizes it again as an IPOD that needs to complete the restore process. VERRRRRY AGGRAVATING!!!

    Time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My computer will no longer bring up itunes. It says, "file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!

    I cannot bring up iTunes as it keeps saying, "the files 'itunes library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • HOw to create a text file in the given path and delete it after the use?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a text file at the given path and delete the created file after the use.
    I am using following code.:
    import java.io.*;
    // write binary data as characters

                                                                System.out.println( "Append IO error:" + ioe );
    My problem:
    1)
    I am not able to write to the file. I want to know, where i am going wrong.
    It is giving error message like
    "Canot resolve Symbol: temp,"
    But, FileWriter Constructor should accept a File type parameter.
    here temp is a file parameter.
    If i am not using file=new file();
    i can't delete the file after the use. i.e if i use
    PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
    how can i delete cute.txt after the use?
    2)
    I am not able to write to the text file. file is created but, a blank file.
    "Hello" is not written into the text file.
    can anyone help me in this regard
    Thanks in advance
    Ashvini

    Thank you Ram,
    But, i want to create a text file in Append mode.
    for that i used
    FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); But, it is not accepting FileWriter constructor in
    this format. if i use
    FileWriter fos = new
    FileWriter("c:/ash/cute.txt",true); it works fine. !!!!!Here's the javadoc
    public FileWriter(File file,
    boolean append)
    throws IOExceptionConstructs a FileWriter object given a File object. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning.
    Parameters:
    file - a File object to write to
    append - if true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning
    Throws:
    IOException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason
    Since:
    1.4
    Are you using jdk.13 or lower ?
    >
    ONe more doubt, Does flush method deletes a file?
    if not, then i need to use
    File temp=new File("c:/ash/cute.txt");
    FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); //which
    is again a problem
    if(temp.delete())
    out.println("File is deleted");
    }I don't know whether i am taking it wrong ! or
    anything wrong with my coding ! but, after creating
    and writing data into a text file. I must delete it
    as it contains confidential informations.
    Regards,
    Thanks.'flush' writes to a file immediately. Else you should explicitly call 'flush' to write contents from buffer to underlying source.
    javadoc again
    PrintWriter
    public PrintWriter(Writer out,
    boolean autoFlush)Create a new PrintWriter.
    Parameters:
    out - A character-output stream
    autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the println, printf, or format methods will flush the output buffer
    cheers,
    ram.
    Question; What do you gain by opening a file, writing to it and deleting it in the same program ?
