Help: After iOS 5 Upgrade Lost my Contacts

I’ve seen a huge spike in traffic on my site searching for iOS lost contacts.  We now have 6 different solutions to restore your contacts.

Thought I’d post something specifically regarding iOS 5, and some solutions that are out there.  Personally I had no problems upgrading, and think losing contacts may just be because the initial “sync” hasn’t gone through yet (remember an iOS upgrade resets your phone to base iOS 5, then imports your information after).

iTunes 10.4.1 and Logitech Media Keys Fixed!

A post I wrote a few weeks ago with the launch of iTunes 10.4.1 identified that my Logitech keyboard (using SetPoint software) media keys stopped working once I updated to iTunes 10.4.1.

Originally I thought it would fix the issue, then it didn’t.  In the past few days I found they would work again if certain software was open, but only if Set Point was disabled.

IE6 and IE7 limit CSS links to 30

Help!  Working in Drupal and having trouble getting stylesheets to work?  Did they break all of a sudden in Internet Explorer only?

I can’t see my stylesheets anymore in IE6 or IE7!

Internet Explorer limits the number of stylesheets included with a LINK tag

That’s right.  If you include an additional CSS file beyond 30, it will break other CSS files.

This problem is only in IE6 and IE7.  Officially I’m sure Microsoft says the fix is to upgrade to IE8.

What code causes the problem? Perfectly valid code below:

[sourcecode language='html'][/sourcecode]

Just repeat that 31 times, and you will see an error.

The Solution

While <link> tags may have issues beyond 30 stylesheets being included, you can cheat with using @import.

For example, include CSS using the following instead:

[sourcecode language='html']

[/sourcecode]

If you’re working in Drupal, there’s a module that implements this fix for you, IE Unlimited CSS Loader.
