ALL my contacts are gone after IOS5 update. WHY?

I can't find my contacts anywhere, after updating to IOS5. There are not even in my address book on my mac. I backed up my ipod regularly, and did on last backup right before i updated to IOS5. They are all gone, i don't understand why. Does anyone here have ANY ideas? (i really, REALLY don't want to type in all my contacts, i probably could not even remember them all). please help, thanks.

I tries that and they didn't come back? : ( ANy other ideas? -thanks!

Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back

I'll give those drivers a try the next time I install Windows 8. However I still don't understand how they would be any different to what is included in Boot Camp Assistant that came with Mountain Lion. Can you or anyone else confirm that they are different?
Can you also confirm that you have the Bluetooth radios in Device Manager and that you can discover Bluetooth devices under Windows.
Last question - do you run more than 1 partition in Windows?

Hi stanlaw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below should help you with this.
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
This is very disturbing.
What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

I have an iPhone 4S and while upgrading to OS 8.3, I noticed that all my contacts are gone. Can I connect to my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.3 and transfer contacts directly onto my phone?

Hey there denise.ca,
I see that you have a question about one of the functions of USB syncing. To answer your question, yes, you can sync contacts from your computer to your iPhone using USB syncing and iTunes:

I deleted icloud and all my contacts are gone

I accidentaly deleted iclous from my iphone 5 and all my contacts are gone. How can I bring it back?

Sign back in to iCloud.
Settings > iCloud

My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged. Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud). To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

All my contacts are gone from my iPhone

All my contacts are gone. Haven't backed up since before we started vacation. If I do a restore, will I loose photos that I've taken on the trip?

yes,

All my contacts are gone. Any help on retrieving them?

All my contacts are gone from my I Pad. Any help on retrieving them

Have you tried toggling contacts off and back on again? Anything trickle in, thereafter?
If not, restore from your iCloud backup. Go to settings/general/reset/ erase all content and settings. When prompted on how to setup the device, select the iCloud backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Good luck!

All my contacts are gone from my iphone and my address book!!

All of a sudden, I synced my iphone with my imac as usual and all my contacts are gone out of the phone and the address book onmy computer. Help! Thanks

Do you not maintain a backup of your important data saved to an external hard drive used for backup purposes only or to CD media?
The Address Book application includes a simple backup database option as does iCal which is simple to restore the entire database from in the event something like this occurs.
Do you have a .Mac account? If so, you can recover all contacts from your .Mac online address book. If not and you don't have a backup of this data available in some fashion, you are in trouble.

All My Contacts have gone after updating iphone4 to ios5

So i decided to move with the times and finally update my iphone as some apps would no longer work without updating to ios5.
Everything is in my phone apps, music, calenders, notes emails but the contacts have all gone. I have tried to restore my iphone through itunes but this hasnt worked i only had one restore option available which was a sync that was completed after my contacts were gone from the update.
I now realise how stupid this was to never have uploaded my contacts to so sort of app but to be honest i never gave it a second thought. Is there anywhere i can get my contacts from or are ther lost forever????
please have some magic fix for me
Pete

I've lost mine, too. However, I've found that they're all there if I go in via the phone. The contacts app just shows "no contacts". When searching from other apps (such as Reminders), it doesn't find anything, but spotlight finds them.
