Have they also gone from iCloud.com when you log in from a computer.

Just completed an update and lost all my phone contacts. Can I get them back?
Just completed an update to my 3G Iphone. Lost all my contacts. Can I get them back, please???
Contacts are not a part of backup (only favourites and recent calls list are backed up). Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Addressbook etc) or with a cloud service (iCloud, Yahoo, Google).
Sync them back from the programme you were using for backing up your contacts.
If you have not been backing up your contacts to either of these programmes, then they are gone. -
I was synking my I-phone 4 for the first time. After synking I lost all phone and email contacts. How can I restore or undo the synking process?
If you have a backup, you can restore your last backup with itunes.

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!
Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you. -
HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?
How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps. -
iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone. The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
Please help. Thanks.Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?
Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps -
how can i refresh the mail, to see the latest email received from my hotmail account. If i close Mail, the program, and re-open, then I can see the latest mail received. Is there a key combo-short-cut to do this.

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?
I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts. However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen. She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?
Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone. -
I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?
Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.
If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
Otherwise two options:
Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore. But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder.
iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version:
http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
Here are locations of your backup folder.
Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup -
Move email address from one Verizon Account to another one
Can I move my email address from my verizon account to someone else's verizon account? If so, how and which group should I call to make it happen?
Solved!
Go to Solution.That would depend on who that "someone else" is and whether or not Verizon considers the relationship to be a valid (read: legal) one.
IF Verizon considers the link between the accounts valid, then you should just be able to contact tech support and get the email address repointed, but bear in mind that repoints only go primary to primary and sub to sub.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.
