Why do I still have all contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud?
Why do I still have all my contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud? I cannot access my contacts on icloud.com. Me.com contacts are also no longer available and redirect to icloud.com
Please always post your system when you have a query: the answer to many questions is different depending on system, and this is one of those questions.
Let me guess: you have Snow Leopard or Leopard (or even Tiger) and when you migrated from MobileMe and were warned that you needed Lion you ignored it.
You cannot sync contacts to iCloud on anything earlier than Lion. When you migrated your contacts were removed from MobileMe but because you don't have Lion the process could not place them on the iCloud server.
There is no workaround for this other than downgrading from Lion - not a process you want to undertake lightly. If you have an iPhone you can sync your contacts using iTunes.
If my guess is wrong, and you do have Lion, that's a whole different can of digital worms.

After downloading ios 7 do I still have all previous info?
Good evening, have iphone 4s, and ios 6. When I download ios 7, do I still have all contacts, and photos, etc? Thanks.
make sure you export your photos to your computer, backup your contacts and create a backup of your phone and you should be fine. My phone is the same as it was except for the new iOS

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?
If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

i lost my bbm icon, but everything was backed up, can i still have all my old bbm contacts if i reinstall my bbm?
Hi there samrafamily, you can indeed get your old BBM contacts back if you simply reinstall BBM.
To ensure you get your icon back, go to Options > Applications, find BBM in the list of applications, then delete it (press BB Menu > Delete), then simply redownload it from http://blackberry.com/bbm.
Good luck and let us know if you have any other problems!

Why can I still see deleted contacts?
hi everyone,
I've noticed that I can see contacts that have been deleted (from all my devices and they do not appear in the Contacts on my Mac or on icloud.com) when I'm composing a Message (whether iMessage or SMS) as well as in the search screen.
For example, if friend AA has changed phone numbers and I delete the old one, both numbers (new and deleted old) will continue to come up!
Is that normal ?There is no other way to permanently delete the deleted numbers. Only restore as new. If you don't want to do this, make a fake contact with the old number. Then sent a message to this old AND new number. Then delete the fake contact. The deleted number will still remains in the cache memory of Messages App but you can recognize the old number to avoid sent messages to this number.

Why do we still have the starred playlist?
now that we have the new checkmarks instead of the stars, why do I still have a starred playlist? I cant get rid of it... I just "saved" all of my starred playlists, and now I've essentially got a "legacy" starred playlist and a "new" starred playlist (which is the new checkmark system) please get rid of legacy features, it only complicates software.
Hello!
When you click the plus sign, you are adding a song to Your Music.
When you add a song to Starred, you add the song to the playlist.
It's similar to liking a video on YouTube.
Hope this clears things up for you! -
If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer. -
If I create a new Apple ID and rescue my old one will I still have all the credit I did on my previous Apple ID ?
You will still have them on the old one i guess

so my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just want to know if i can still have all my old songs and such without buying it all over again or something so please help me oh also my ipod broke so i dont have anything that has my old songs except for the itunes ppl who know all of my songs
You buy one download and one download only, it is your responsibility to backup your music.
it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -

I keep my itunes on two external harddrives. And I sync one or the other to my computer when changing up my playlists on my iPod. Well I usually download my music to my computer and then move it over to the harddrives and then I erase the music from my computer's harddrive, but only the music! Well on accident I erased the whole itunes folder from my computer. I still have all the music on the external harddrives but the library registry on the computer has been emptied! Plus my computer will not recognise my iPod anymore. So I need to sync my iPod with my computer and I need to fill up the registry or what ever it is called in my iTunes library on my computer so that I can change around my app and music selection on my iPod. Can anyone help me. Please!

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.
You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:

Can you save your itunes and songs onto an external hard drive so that incase your computer crashes you will still have all your music?
The procedures below are for "moving" your library but as long as you don't delete it from your internal drive you are basically backing up.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Simple answer: Copy your whole iTunes folder to the external drive. For subsequent backups you might want to learn about cloning and using a tool that only does incremental backups of recently changed items rather than copying all your files each time. -
Can anyone help me? I just want to know if I just put my iPhone 4 which has been fixed can I start it as a new phone and still have my contacts and photos as it won't let me log in with my iCloud address
Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or you can use third-party software like Phone to PC to transfer your music.
