Where are my contacts stored???

I want to do the ios5 update but have been told that I will lose my contacts and am unsure if they are stored on my PC or in itunes anywhere if not how do I back them up ??
would be grateful for any help with this.

They are in wahtever program that you have selected to sync with (Outlook or address Book for example).
You should have been syncing with your computer from the very beginning.  Have you failed to do this?

    I had my iPhone 4S stolen last week and I am going to sync it to my computer to get everything back on it.
    If it is stolen , how are you going to sync it?
    You mean you got a new iPhone and you want to sync it to your computer?
    Plug it in.

    New computer??? Or new iPhone?
    I know how to copy my music library to my new computer but struggling with copying the contacts etc. Where do I find the contacts folder on my old computer?
    I suggest you simply copy your entire User folder from old computer to new computer. This way all your data (Music, photos, contacts, emails, calendars, documents, etc.)  goes across.

  • Where are printer drivers stored in OS 10.8?

    I am trying to set up a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 as a new printer on OS 10.8. The printer setup locates the printer and automatically selects Epson Stylus R3000 with the notation "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download and add this printer." However, clicking on Add leads eventually to an error message: "Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R3000 because it is not currently available fromthe Software Update server." This result blocks me from setting up the printer.
    I know the driver is part of the Epson driver software package that is installed with OS 10.8. I would like to select it manually. My question is where are printer drivers stored? How do I select a driver?
    Thanks in advance!

    While a bit of a stretch, you can download the entire Epson printer package from Apple and install it. This will include all drivers for all Epson devices as opposed to the one just for your system. The package is 1GB in size, but will include everything supported.
    The package can be downloaded here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
    This following knowledgebase article says your printer is definitely supported, so the driver should be in that package: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson

  • Where are my contacts?!

    This used to be real simple.....
    Ok I was having a problem with my iPhone not syncing my music properly so I was advised to to a restore which I did. I did it as a new phone, not from the back up.
    I now can't find any of my contacts. I thought the iPhone automatically backed up. I was backing up to my computer. I found my address book on my computer and it has one contact out of 100....sigh... I have numerous back ups of Time Machine and manual ones but I can not find a file that has the past 3 years of contacts.
    Thanks for any help,
    OK I was able to download all my contacts from Gmail but just want phone numbers and there are many I don't want at all. How can I edit and now back up these contacts on my Mac so I have a secure copy somewhere I know?

    "Right...but a back up is a back up...it should still exist...right?"
    No.  Itunes generally keepos the past backup.  Contacts aredesigned to be synced to your computer.  I'm not sure that they are backed up at all, *** you should be syncing them to your computer.
    "I have not "not" been backing up which is what confuses me....did I have to make a conscious effort to back up everything? Used to be the default?"
    Backing up and syncing are not really the same.  You should never have any information in only one place ( e.g. your contacts should never just be on your iphone).  The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.  You would have to make these selections when you set up the iphone sync.
    "Asuming I some how decided NOT to back up how would I do so now?"
    Where are the contacts now?  If you do not have them anywhere, then they are gone.  Have you tried to restore from backup?
    "Do I have to do a complete back up or can I restore bits and pieces like an address book?"
    No.  It is all or nothing.
    "Backed up" is not accurate.  Your contatcs should live on your computer and be synced with your iphone. You should also back up your entire computer regularly.

  • Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

    Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
    I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   .  .  . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
    . . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
    Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
    But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below:  (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
    I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
    I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
    Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin'  my head at this point.

      This was the correct answer:
           Laubender     Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM  (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)   
    @Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
    The path for these would be:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
    or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
    If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
    All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
    Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
    You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

  • Where are the presettings stored exactly?

    Hi everyone
    Where are the presettings stored exactly? They must be safed in some kind of *.ini-File, in the system's registry or at another point.
    We need this information to automate the setup on every working station. Domain solutions as an alternative are unfortunately not possible yet.
    Adobe Distiller Version is 10.1.824
    Thank you.

    The user-specific settings files (editable) are stored in

  • Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

    Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

    but then why does the FAQ state this:
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
    Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files?  Would be nice if they specified what they mean

  • Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager.

    Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager?
    I created a profile attached to a user group and then made the mistake of removing the group without first deleting the profile.
    Now the orphan profile can't be managed (it's no longer visible) and is still being pushed out to users.
    The group I deleted had another group as it's members.
    Example:
    Active Sync User Group was a member of VPN Group.
    VPN Group was deleted (it had the VPN settings payload)
    Profile with VPN settings are still pushed out to Active Sync User Group even though VPN Group no longer exists.
    I'm hoping I can manually remove this profile but I'm thinking it may be contained in Postgres. If that's the case I would appreciate any suggestions/methods to access the database to make modifications.
    Thanks

    The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.
