Has anyone experienced a virus which corrupts your email contacts? My wife's iPhone 4s contacts and her contacts saved in MS Outlook have been corrupted, typically by the email address changed by one letter (for instance, cindyjo...@isp.com becomes condyjo...@isp.com). Some contacts also get

Not that simple, it's also affecting her iPhone, which has a totally separate contact list (two lists actually, gmail contacts and iPhone contacts). In addition, her iPhone periodically drops all the gmail contacts and calendar events. Deleting the gmail account from the phone and then adding it

Outlook is here to stay. I can get Office through work employee discount for about $25. I'd like to migrate all contacts over to gmail, right now iCloud has about half her contacts captive. My wife probably has 3 or 4 thousand contacts. That's part of the problem I'm sure. I think she is a

Plug it into the computer you sync it to with iTunes, and click the “Backup” button. Better yet - if you click the box to do a secure backup, any account credentials that might exist on the iPod will be backed up as well. When you restore it from the backup they will be there, too. Dan On
