Where Did My Contacts App Go?

Hello everyone,
I am having an interesting issue with the Contacts application on my Mac Mini.
This app used to work fine. However, sometime in the past month—after setting up iCloud for Calendar and Reminders—the Contacts application simply disappeared. I have searched the entire hard drive via Spotlight to no avail.
In the pre-Mountain Lion days, I would simply use my installation DVD and reinstall the app from the “optional installs” image. Unfortunately, I do not have such luxuries with the Mini.
I would really like to have my Contacts app once more. Does anyone have any idea what happened?

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

Where did my purchased APPS go in the App Store?

I went into the App Store by using the icon on my iMac's desktop at 11:50 am cst and clicked on Purchases at the top and it had a list of all my apps purchased with the dates. 20 minutes later, I go back to the App Store, using the icon, and now none of my purchases are there? Where did they go? I even went in through iTunes, and none of my purchases are listed anymore. I need to redownload an App that I purchased.
Thanks

I contacted technical support and this was their reply:

Where is the contacts app

Where is Contacts app?
How to add it to Home screen?

By default, it's in the Utilities folder. Once you find it, tap and hold it until the icon starts to wiggle. Drag it to where ever you would like it. Note that you can also access contacts through the Phone app.

Where did my iLife apps go?

My Mini froze up, and nothing would fix it except for wiping the disk and reinstalling everything. Unfortunately my iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD apps are now gone (Along with a huge iPhoto library). I managed to recover my iTunes library from my video iPod with TinkerTool, but where did my iApps go? I've never paid for iLife because I had everything I wanted from the beginning (OS X 10.0). The disk I bought to reinstall everything was OS X 10.4 (Yes, I had to run Software update all day yesterday).
Am I going to have to shell out $79.00 just for iPhoto? I've never even opened iMovie, iDVD, or Garage Band (Only vaguely even know what most of them do, and Garage Band is a 100% mystery to me. Sounds like a useless, cheap, disk space hog to me).
Is there anyplace I can just get iPhoto without all of the other useless stuff?
I can't believe Apple would charge extra for something that is more useful than iTunes, and that I got free from the time it first came out.
TIA,
George Pepper BM MM

The version of iPhoto you own is the version that came with your system - it is on the original system restore disks that came with your computer and you should be able to install it from there - what OS and version of iPhoto came with your computer? click here for the MacWorld article on installing applications from your restore disks.
As to your purchasing iPhoto alone - no - it comes only as apart of new computers or as a part of iLife

Where did my Nanosaur app go?

Spotlight finds the Nanosaur 2 folder in Applications. There are 4 files in it -- 4 pdf files actually -- but no application!
Where did it go and how can I get it back? Thanks in advance.

Mac OS X's Firewall basically blocks out the majority of the ports if not all from being hit. Your Sharing System Preference lets you specify certain ports to open. However, if you want better protection, get a router that stop ping and denial of service attacks before they hit your machine. Of course that says nothing of whether or not your internet service provider has the same level of protection, but it is a step in the right direction.

Where Did My Contacts Go...

So here is the deal...I needed to wipe my mac and do a clean install of ML cause my imac was acting up a little bit. I backed everything up using Time Machine but did not restore it cause my mac has been running smooth as ever. When I synced itunes with my iphone, itunes erased all my contacts. I thought I followed all the right steps with syncing with a new itunes account but apparantly something went wrong cause all my contacts went missing(and I also noticed it didn't back up all my apps...a few were missing).
I have my contacts backed up on ~Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata folder in TM, I just can't get them back into the Contacts application. I tried a drag and drop, I tried to import, and I tried to copy all the files from the TM backup to the metadata folder in my hard drive and nothing worked.
Is there anything else I can do?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Go up one level: you need everything in that AddressBook folder. Make sure Contacts is closed; copy the backup folder over, and relaunch Contacts.

Where did "edit contacts" function go on the contacts menu for 2.1 firmware upgrade

Hi,
My wife's HTC Eris just got the OTA 2.1 firmware update. When editing a contact in the past with the phone, she would select the contact, then hit the menu button. That would bring up several options, including one to edit the contact. The the edit contact function has disappeared from the choices with the 2.1 upgrade. Any ideas/suggestions?

The edit is still there...in the People app...
select contact
pick the "rolodex" icon
menu->edit
However, if THAT contact is a Facebook contact, then you can't edit it.
You can view your sync'ed contacts ar the ROOT People screen [ MENU --> VIEW ]

Where did the builtin apps go?

I just received my iPad2 a few days ago and have noticed that it does not have several of the built in apps I have on my iPhone. So far I have noticed the following apps missing. Is this expected?
Calculator, Stocks, Weather and World Clock with Alarm, timer etc...
Do others have the same issue?
Regards Kevin

Yeah I am aware there are many avaialble. The single one app that I am astonished Apple did not include is the calculator. Of all the simple basic built-in apps to get rid of. Calculator is one of the most basic apps. APPLE WHY DID YOU REMOVE THESE APPS FROM THE IPAD?

Where did the iASL app by BKS go?

The iASL was there and now it's gone. I had paid for this app to work with my daughter, who's going deaf, and now the app store doesn't seem to have it anymore. Where'd it go?

Is there an answer to this missing app? The app seems to be well documented on the net but I can't find it in the iStore. TIA.

TS1702 Where did my purchased apps go?

The last screen is gray when looking at my purchased apps on my IMac. It shows apps that I purchased but it looks different than the other screens. These apps do not appear at all on my IPad. However, they once did. How do I fix this problem.

Are all your other Home screens full? If so, watch for the next app you download. If you have a problem you could organise a number of apps into a folder as a temporary measure to free up some space on the last working Home screen page. See Ch 3 of the User Guide.

Where did my IBook app go?

I cannot find the IBook app button.
I know this is such a silly question, however after I downloaded the IBook app I assumed it would be on the home page with the other apps. I do see it listed when I click the settings app button in the left side panel.
Could someone please explain what I'm doing right, wrong, or indifferent?
Thank's so very much.

No, I don,t. In fact none of my apps are showing. The home page is only showing the apps that came with the IPad. I have the IPhone and assumed the home page on the IPad would fill up with apps as I added them just like it, however I can't find any photos showing that.

Where did my BB App World icon go?

Ok, so I've downloaded the latest update for the BB App World, and after it rebooted I can't find the BB App World icon anywhere!
Can anybody please help me with this? It's not on the homescreen or any folders. I've looked for it 3 times. It just vanished.
Help!!!!

Hey Rick20K,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
With performing an app load I do suggest performing an enterprise activation if you're having trouble receiving emails.
I honestly perform an enterprise activation after every update.
If the application is still not appearing try re-downloading the application from www.blackberry.com/appworld and once completed, restart the BlackBerry and it should appear on your home screen.

Where did my contacts phone numbers go when i backed up to the cloud?

When I backed up my iphone to the cloud my contacts phone numbers disappeared from my phone and the cloud.
Can anyone help?

Is back up and sync the same thing?
No. Syncing transfers iTunes content to your devices. Backing up stores all data (minus iTunes content) that you have on your phone, and can be loaded onto a different device or reloaded onto an existing device.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Let the device power down and back up. Go through the setup screen and DO NOT select restore from iTunes backup. Instead, choose iCloud backup, sign in with your Apple ID and select the correct backup.

TS4002 Where did my contacts go?

Last week all my contacts showed up in my list. I tried to delete a user I didn't want and now a lot of my contacts aren't there. Does anyone know how to restore them?

Can you see your Contacts when you login to the icloud.com website? When they are there, I suggest to switch of the icloud contact in the iphone settings and switch them on afterwards again

Where did my contacts go in Adobe Send?

what idiot designed this this new send program? it is not user friendly at all. All my contacts are gone i have to type in everyone I need to send too!!!!!.

Hi dane41,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
There's a plugin that gets integrated with your Outlook email account which enables you to send the mails through Adobe Send from Outlook instead of logging on to the web service on browser and send files.
You can use Adobe send outlook plugin to access your email contact list and send.
You can download it here:Send Large Files Online - Share, Control, Track & Manage | Adobe Send

Florence
