Please turn your caps lock key off. Using all caps on the internet - with email or when posting to a website such as this is considered as yelling or shouting and in addition is harder to read.
If you are syncing contact info over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MM account.
Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing with your MM account.
Wait a minute or so followed by turning Contacts back on.

  • I lost all my contacts in iphone 4s

    I lost all my contacts in iphone 4s, how do i get them back ?

    If you didn't back up your phone before upgrading and you use iCloud, all your Contacts should be in iCloud. You should be able to sign in to your iCloud account and your Contacts from iCloud should populate to your iPhone.

  • Please help!! I lost all my contacts on iphone after I sync'd

    hey guys,
    This afternoon I sync'd my phone to move some new downloaded songs, I pulled my phone off the docking station and I lost all my contacts.
    please tell me they are somewhere in itunes. I have no idea how to move them back.
    anyone have any ideas.

    Hello miwung,
    roaminggnome is correct in that you should be syncing your contacts with whatever contact management software you are using on your computer.
    You can sync contacts with Windows Contacts, which comes pre-installed with Vista.
    To sync both contacts and calendars you'll need either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. All of these programs need to be opened and setup (at least create one contact) prior to syncing per:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1347
    If the contact information is in one of those programs, the content should be synced back to the iPhone the next time you sync.
    If you weren't syncing to one of those programs. It is possible that the contacts may be in your iTunes backup.
    If you haven't tried another sync since you noticed the issue, leave the iPhone disconnected from the PC for now.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences from the Edit Menu.
    Click on the Devices tab.
    Check the list of backups. If there is one there that corresponds to the time when you last synced with your contacts on the iPhone, and the sync was not interrupted in progress, it may contain the contacts.
    If you tried reconnecting and re-syncing after you noticed the contacts issue, the backup may not contain any recoverable data.
    While you're in the Preferences, put a check in the "Disable Automatic syncing for iPods and iPhones."
    Connect the iPhone.
    Right-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Restore from Backup."
    If the contacts are restored, make sure you sync them to a contact management program from now on -- and you may want to check with that program's website on how to backup the data in the program as well.
    Good Luck,
    Charles H.

  • Help I have lost all my contacts from iphone 4

    Can anyone help me get my contact numbers back?
    They disappeared whilst changing sim card from old phone to new one?

    iPhone Contacts aren't stored on the SIM so it can't be anything to do with that.
    What are you syncing your contacts with? iCloud, iTunes, Outlook, Exchange etc.?
    Where are your contacts backed up?

  • The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

    The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.

    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

    My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

    Lost all my contacts in Mac address book.  Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working.  Please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
    You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.

  • Updated my iphone 4s for icloud and lost all my contacts. I tried to sync to the itunes on my computer and it said i needed to upgrade my itunes.  I had to download another itunes and my contacts were still not there.  I've tried all the troubleshooting

    I updated my iphone 4s to get iclouds and lost all my contacts.  When I tried to sync my phone to itunes, it said I needed to update my itunes for it to work on my phone.   There was no place to update so I installed itunes again.  Still no contacts !!!! I've tried all the troubleshooting and still can't get them.  They are not in www.icloud.com either.  Help!!!!!!

    iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

  • I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

    I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

    If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!
    Best Regards

  • I had my computer worked on.  When I got it back I had to reinstall itunes.  When I synced my iphone, I lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    I had my computer worked on recently.  When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes.  I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
    Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service?  Then they're gone.

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
