IPhone :: After Setting Up ICloud On Multiple, All Contacts Have Been Deleted?
Apr 17, 2012
After setting up iCloud on my iPhone, my wife's and my daughters, all our contacts have been deleted. I have been trying to recover them, but I keep coming up empty.
i was trying to create a new i cloud account because my other one wasnt working good. As i deleted the current account it deleted ALL of my contacts ! way to restore theese contacts! i dont have them syncd im my mac or anything
I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.
I am trying to figure out what the best setup is for the following:
Myself: Ipad, Iphone 4s & ipod, apple tv Wife: iphone, ipod
I am trying to have all our photos, music, etc be available on the cloud so that we have access to each others music and photos but also trying to keep apps seperate on various devices. Just trying to figure out if I should have 1 or 2 apple id's and how to configure itunes to accomplish this.
I recently had a 4S (either 5.0.1 or 5.1, definitely did not have 5.1.1) replaced. The refurb came with a version that was not 5.1.1 (it was the version that still displayed 3G on AT&T and had no lock screen camera). Upon trying to setup the refurb and load the backup from iCloud, the only option was way back from November 2011, so it clearly did not want to use the iCloud backup that was a future iOS version compared to the refurb. Now that I have restored to that November backup, and updated iOS to the latest version, I see in my iCloud backups that my latest, May 24th phone is there. So how do I restore to that? If I reset the phone completely, it will revert to an iOS version incompatible with the May backup again - right? At that point, I'm back where I started... can I somehow restore the iCloud backup without a full reset?
The calendar on my mac only shows single events but I'm sure in the switch from MobileMe to iCloud I did something wrong. Basically, the calendar on my iphone has an exact duplicate for all events. Any way to clean that up easily?
I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
HOw do I recover delted sms-es if I previouly I have not syncronised my iphone with iCloud? I have heard about Spotlight. Is that an option? Do I have to download that (where from?) and then connect my iphone with the laptop?
I accidentally deleted songs from my itunes but not from the cloud. Now, the songs are on my iphone 4S with the cloud logo next to them, but the original files no longer exist, so they just sit there. I have since rebought the album, and now the track listing has the unusable tracks and the purchased tracks. I want to get rid of the unusable tracks that I no longer have the original file for.
so I recently by mistake deleted a bunch of photos off my camera roll on my iPhone 5C. I didn't back up anything on iCloud or iTunes, and I don't yet have iOS8, so I can't go to the recently deleted folder. I've googled it and downloaded three so-called recovery programs and they only recovered the photos I already had on my camera roll, so am I downloading the wrong programs? another way to recover these deleted photos.

My girlfriend is using my old iPhone 3G that I have her. I activated it through my account on ITunes as well as put the majority of my apps on her phone. She wants her own account now but my question is; will all of the apps on her phone be deleted if she makes her own account and syncs the phone with it?

When setting up my new iPhone 4s, should I restore from icloud or itunes backup? Or set up as a new iPhone? The phone number is staying the same from my iPhone 4.

Ok i'm been reading up on syncing to multiple computers (through google and apple support) and it seems slpit on it can and can't be done... I got 2 computers, my main desktop which I use to sync everything and my laptop that i would like to sync only contacts (maybe calendar too). How can I go about doing this?
