Help

I'm guessing if your contacts are gone from the cloud, they're gone unless you can get them back with a "restore backup".  If they are still on the cloud, plug your IP/iPad into iTunes, open Contacts and select "On my Mac" on the left side of the window.  Then sync and your contacts should appear on your IP/iPad.
At least they did for me using this routine.

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • Upgraded to v6 iphone software, all my contacts have gone, and I can't connect to my email.  Other web pages seem ok.  Help!

    Hi
    Can anyone help me?  Since upgrading to v6 of the iphone software the other day, all my contacts have gone, and I can't connect to orange contacts restore to get them back, or access my email. Other web pages seem ok.
    When I try to connect to the orange backup app, the connection just times out and says connection error.  When I try to access my email it says verify i have put the correct a/c info into mail settings.
    Both things were fine before I updated.
    Help!

  • All of the photos in my text messages have disappeared and been replaced with a question mark image. Where did they go?

    I updated my ios two or three weeks ago, but suddenly beginning this morning all of the photos in my text messages have disappeared. They have been replaced with question mark placeholders. I can't access any videos/photos that either I have sent or others have sent to me. I did nothing to instigate this change (no software updates, etc.) and have already tried resetting my phone multiple times.
    Thank you!!

    I have the same condition on my iPhone only. I also have an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iMac that share the same iCloud account. Messages with photos seem to work fine on all devices except my iPhone.  All of a sudden all the photos in my iPhone message streams have disappeared and been replace by question mark placeholders. I rebooted all devices, shut down messages, and rebooted, restarted, with no luck. Very bizarre and extremely frustrating. Any suggestions?

  • I had several tab groups, but the last time I opened Firefox they'd all disappeared, and been replaced with an advert - can I recover my tab groups somehow?

    I've set Firefox so it re-opens my old tabs every time I run the program, and also installed Tab Groups. Usually it opens all the tabs in all the groups with no problem, but this time they'd all disappeared and been replaced with a single advert. Is there a way to recover the old tab groups?

    It's likely that by the time there is an answer the data to allow recovery will be long gone, but this really make me angry. I have been operating with the same tabs for months now, and by using tab groups... poof, now all gone. I use tabs precisely because digging around to find all these pages is a time consuming task. some I don't use for a week or two, but when I needed them, there they were. '''BIG BLACK MARK''' awarded to Firefox on this one! My trust level of this software, which had been very high just went to below IE, which is really saying something.

  • My @me account has vanished off my iPad and iPhone and been replaced with @icloud. How do I get my @me mail back or how do I view it?

    Can anyone give me some advice. My @me.com email account has vanished and been replaced with @icloud.com and I am at a loss how to view my email or put the account back onto my iPad/iPhone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    You can manage your email accounts in
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    However, you should still get all of your emails, contacts and calendars on your @icloud.com email account just as you do on your @me.com account.
    But if not, you can add and remove accounts listed above.

  • All my contacts are gone and won't sync up with cloud

    After I installed mountain lion on my Mac book pro . My contacts have disappeared and won't sync up from iCloud .
    They are on my other devices and on the c.loud

    I am having the exact same problem.  Not only will the contacts not sync, but when contacts is open, it slows down the ENTIRE computer.  I installed Mountain Lion last night and the contacts list is the only thing that I have spotted that is having a problem.  I even tried exporting the vCards from the iCloud website and contacts still won't accept it.  I hope they come out with something to fix this quick.

  • HT204150 All my contacts have disappeared from icloud and all my devices

    I've just tried to use contacts on my iPhone (4S) to discover they have all disappeared. Checking my other devices, I discover they have disappeared from them also.
    Is there any chance of getting them back?
    I have tried recovering from Time Machine to my Macbook but it won't let me.
    Can anyone help, please?
    David

    Log out of iCloud and make your Home/Library visible as follows:
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Then go to your Home/Library/Application Support folder and select the AddressBook folder.
    Go into Time Machine, go back in time till you're sure you'll have all your contacts and resotre the AddressBook folder.
    Open Contacts and see if your contacts are back.  If so the the first thing to do is use the File ➙ Export ➙ Contacts Archive... menu option to make a backup of your contacts. 
    Then log back into iCloud and see if your other devices will repopulate with your contacts.

  • Why have my contacts disappeared and been replaced with some Facebook friend names?

    A few days ago, all of my contacts disappeared and were replaced by the names of SOME of my Facebook friends.  None of these have any telephone contact information, it's all email addresses associated with those Facebook friends. For instance, my husband's name, emails and phone numbers were all deleted from my contacts - help!

  • All my contacts have gone on my iPod from my iPhone how do I stop it

    Go to Seetings>iCloud and turn off Contacts. You can still locally use the iPod for contacts.

  • 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.

  • HT5625 My setting icon is gone and all my contacts are gone and cant sign in to any mail and icloud what do i do?

  • 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.

  • I received my new Iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deletec all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?

    I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?  I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"

    The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
    You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it.
