Lost most of the Contacts

Hello.

Today, I noticed that I have lost 80% of the names and addresses I had in my file of Contacts on my iMac. I still have the complete list on my iPhone. My iCloud Contacts settings are on my phone and computer. How do I transfer my contacts list to my phone on my computer and make sure that they stay there? Thank you!

If you think you have lost them so it's simple, restore from your Time Machine backup. Also ensure your iCloud settings that the setting is correct.

  • 6 gen nano has lost most of the music when synchronized

    I had 3400 + songs on my nano gen 6.  Had not synchronized for some time, but when I did, it has deleted songs to 1002.  When I re-synchronized again, he now has only 231 songs on it.  Now when I try to sync, I get the message 'Do you want to scan & fix', if I click Yes or always without analyzing, I get the same results that is not "enough space to copy all of the files requested.

    All my music still shows in my ITunes on my computer.  How do I get them back on my ipod?

  • Lost most of my icons on the right side of my taskbar

    I lost most of my icons on the right side of the taskbar. All I have left are icons of Norton and the HP Imaging.

    Lost are the volume icon, the icon of the sound card, remove it in safe USB icon, the icon of the printer, & a couple more.

    What is even more frustrating, is that if I go to system restore and restore the old system, it wont let me restore it, but when I hit the OK, I get my icons until the next reboot, when I lost them again...

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can with line within the list of Contacts (most of the time)

    Hello.

    My wife and I have all two storm with Verizon phones and I synced our contacts on two phones using Google Sync all contacts appear to be normal and functional.

    On her phone, when I'm inside the contact list and try to call a person from there, the phone screen opens but nothing happens.

    All of these steps produce this problem:

    -by selecting an entry in the contacts list and pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact first, by selecting a number (e.g. Mobile) and then pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact, select a number (e.g. Mobile) and using the menu button and "call Mobile".

    The only way it works is if I first enter the phone screen and choose the Contacts there - then it works.

    No idea what this can be?

    We talked to someone from Verizon, and they said that we had to hold the green button or the menu entry "Call Mobile" (etc.) for a period of time - never heard of this before and it didn't work ONCE - while remaining in the store...

    On my phone, everything works as you would expect, but I ran an update as soon as I got on the phone, so maybe that's why it works for me.

    On the other hand, this update wiped out all the information on my phone, and I had to download and configure everything again and install all the extra stuff from scratch, that's why I didn't run an update on the phone my wife again.

    Thus, a question is: if I create a backup with the Desktop Manager and then run an upgrade of the blackberry software, can I restore all settings and other programs downloaded with this backup?

    Thank you!

    No.... I'm on VZW and their current production OS (. 75) and numbering by any of the ways describe you works very well. Something is wrong with her camera... What is proposed is a refill of OS in an attempt to clear up the problem.

    But first... I have to ask, did you do a battery pop reboot? We know that these devices suffer from memory leaks and other, testify to the weird behaviors. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning.

    Just a thought...

  • Empty the Dock and bring back the Contacts!

    After using my Apple Watch for a year now, I am appalled by the latest changes in operating system.

    The dock is tedious in comparison with the previous shot upward and along the method to access the information useful and shows a lack of understanding of the best type of movements required by the small screen. Information slide at the top are of little value compared to what has been replaced.

    The contacts button has lost its functionality as well. Contacts were essential. Where are they now?

    Even if it means a loss of face to admit the new OS *, asst last make it easy for the owners to return to the way the watch worked when they bought it.

    I live in hope (very little).

    You do not discuss Apple here. This is a user support forum at, and your comments on Apple should go here, http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the box in this area. Read all the comments, they usually fail. He will tell you that when you propose, but things have changed because of the feedback.

    Contacts are found in the phone application, or your Messages application, depending on what you want to do. In addition, your Favorites from the phone are found in the phone app as well.

  • How can I make my address book show each address of the contact only once?

    my address book shows all e-mails from each contact-5 emails a one touch means that the address will show 5 times

    Well, I think that it is up to you to sort your address books, locate and delete duplicates and decide which of your many address books, you want any particular Contact should be stored in.

    There are modules to help with this, but even with this help, it is quite tedious to choose between multiple entries and decide which are most comprehensive and up to date. If duplicates became spontaneously, then you may have something horrible going on, and I will seek to export data, to delete the address book assigned and recreate by importing the exported data.

    In TB38, the Contacts Sidebar has a new option 'All address books' which includes all your address books in a virtual composite book. This simplifies the search for those who do not know or remember what book they were adding a Contact.

    Under "All address books", you should be able to select any single address book and therefore only see the entries in it. Of course, if you have multiple instances of a Contact in an address book, is what you will see. It just presents what it contains.

  • Restore the Contacts from Iphone restore

    I'm very frustrated by that.  I had to do a total restore my Iphone 5 as a result of an error in the former area software and storage being gone.  I backup of the phone before doing this, but that the backup is worth nothing because to restore the previous backup would return to restore the bug in the software again.  So I basically had to a do a new restoration of the phone and gradually bring only my necessary stuff on the phone.  I can't seem to get the contacts and calendar, that I had to come back and I see on Itunes there is a place to synchronize those.  Still when I sync them they are not restored.  My contacts have some inside information, but lack of contacts.  Those who are there are missing phone # s and addresses e-mail.   I can see the calendar and contacts that they were originally on my Ipad so I know that they are at least there.  Are not the contacts and calendars supposed to migrate in Icloud and update all my Apple devices (I have a Mac Pro too) so that they are compatible?  If there are some parameters jiving not somewhere I'm lost as to what to do and what devices for all works in harmony.

    My plan is to do a backup of my phone after I put everything so that I have a clean backup, that is not a bug in there and has all the correct information.

    Hello heffmonster,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important getting your contacts on your iPhone is to you! From what you said, it seems you maybe problems with having the correct accounts added to your iPhone after you restored, since you mentioned that the lack of contacts are on your iPad. You asked if iCloud syncs contacts, and he does, but only those in iCloud. iCloud will not synchronize contacts that are related to other accounts, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. I check what are the accounts on your iPad and make sure your iPhone has the same ones added correctly. This article can help explain more about the use of Contacts on your iPhone:

    Hello Lippman, your useragent (information, the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently by mistake - shows you're on firefox version 3.6 (which is very outdated so google will probably offer a reduced feature set). some kind of adware or toolbar crushed it.

    Please refer to this article to reset the settings of the user agent in firefox: websites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version
