Of Contacts

Robin Nesting in Plum Tree

At the end of last week my cell phone spontaneously deleted the address book overnight. In an effort to restore all my phone numbers I launched iSync figuring it would be that easy to get all the numbers back in my phone. I was wrong. Instead, it deleted all of my numbers in Address Book as well. It retained contact names but I lost pretty much everything else.

If I got your contact since August or got updates to your contact info since August, please e-mail me (fiberfool at gmail) with your info so I can get it corrected in my address book.

On the plus side of this I took the phone into our local storefront and had good service. They couldn’t do anything, but they did say it was grounds for calling the phone number to get the phone replaced under warranty. I called Friday morning and my replacement arrived on Tuesday without paying the extra for a quick turn around. I am now mostly moved into the new handset aside from rebuilding my contact list.

Wow, that would be horrible. Glad that you got a replacment phone but geez. I wonder what kind of evil glitch that was.

Aww. Baby birds.

Much empathy. I lost my contacts database from my *computer* in January. I recently and finally retrieved a previous backup (up to about October, interestingly).

That is awful! Technology is often good but when it goes wrong…

I love that photo of the baby birds.

Glad it is resolved.

Great robin shot - I wish the robin nesting here was in a more picturesque spot.
