Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help
Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!
OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this. -
Responded to pop up to download iCloud. Selected sync calender and contacts with Outlook during setup. Now my contacts have disappeared from Outlook on my pc. Any chance or recovering?
Hi
Thanks for your comment. Do you currently tether through your BB? I can get access to the internet to use my Outlook but when I try to sync by contacts and calendar, I am unable.
Is your set-up similar? -

I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts on my iPad have disappeared. I have tried a hard reset but they have gone. Is there anything else that can be done other than waiting until I get home to my main pc?
Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2. I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'. I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase. This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'. There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail. I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes. Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not. Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online. These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason. They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again. I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2. I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing. I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail. I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there. However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push. Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!! For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'. I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts. I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not. I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done. I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while. Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all. My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up ! However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad. I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted ! -
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?
DavidLog 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.

I have recently changed my Apple ID (wish I didn't as it's causing nothing else but issues so far) and my iMessages have disappeared from my iPad. I have signed out / signed in with the new account but it doesn't work. How do I get to see the same messages on my iPad again as the ones on my iPhone?
Hello, see if this might be it...
I think you accidentally hit CMD+Option+8, do it again, or open System Preferencess>Universal Access>Seeing & turn Zoom OFF. -
I have an I-phone 4S. I have backed up my phone to I Cloud. My contacts continue to completely disappear from my phone. They are backed up on I-Cloud (I have checked that they are there, through my computer.
How can I restore my contacts to my phone from I Cloud?
Thank you!If you've restored your phone as NEW and the problems persists, then you have a hardware failure. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

My contacts have disappeared from contact list, but not completely?
Hello - after battling with iTunes to finally delete an older copy, I was able to update last night, which allowed me to update my iphone 4 to OS 5. However, when I pull up my contacts, the list is empty. But then, if I switch over to my favorite/recent calls, the full record is still available. Likewise, if I start typing in a name via text, they show up there as well.
Suggestions? Please?!Yep, same problem here. Although it seemed to happen to me when I activited iCloud sync on my 4S. As above, the contacts are still available in Messages and Phone

App Store, iCal and Contacts have disappeared from applications
Yesterday, I tried to purchase By Word from the app store on my mac mini, only to find that clicking on the icon in the dock turned it into an icon with a question mark on it. I rebooted, and updated, thinking that might be the cause, but no joy - I also noticed the same happened to iCal and Contacts (Mail and everything else in my dock works fine still).
I checked in applications and the missing apps are nowhere to be found. I also ran the combo update for 10.7.3 as I read elsewhere that this could reinstall the app-store if people have accidentally deleted it, no joy.
I haven't deleted any of these apps, and although I don't use iCal or Contacts on the mini, I'd like to understand how they've disappeared.
I've not used my mini for a while, and not purchased anything from the app store for a long time, so it's hard to tell what may be a contributing factor to the disappearance (I cleared a bunch of stuff from my trash before I realised they were gone too unfortunately, so I can't even tell if they were in there or not).
in the last couple of sessions, I've installed dropbox, anti-social.cc, handbrake, updated magic prefs, run a system update (now running 10.7.3) and installed the latest version of node.js
I've never deleted any application from this machine (not had it too long), but to see if I could have done it accidentally, I removed magic prefs and I'd have had to go into applications specifically to remove them - which I definitely haven't done.
I'm the only login for this machine, it's a personal one, so no worries there. I've even checked for flashback virus and no trace.
I'm absolutely out of ideas, and I can live without iCal and Contacts, but I'd like the app store back if at all possible. I've seen some non-apple sites where people have extracted the app store from a package for individual install, and if necessary, I suppose I'll have to go down that route, but I'd rather keep things official if posisble, and get some understanding into what's happening.
If there are any logs, or other information which can help with this post, please let me know and I'll dig them out - if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be really greatful.

I went onto windows live messenger today and all my contacts have disappeared from it, but I also noticed that they had somehow now appeared in my curve 9360 phone contacts. How did this happen, and how can I get them back into windows live messenger and out of my phone contacts on my phone? This is driving me crazy, can anybody help please?
My phone is the curve 9360, OS is 7.0.0 bundle 2259 And it was purchased Easter Monday
Thanks.Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it. -

Hi - I have discovered that some songs have disappeared from my itunes library and Ipod. I have found some of them in trash even though I did not trash them, as they are some of my all time favourite songs. I have now restored these trashed songs to my library/ipod.
However I cannot find some other missing songs in trash - so I have no idea where they could be! It makes me feel very insecure about itunes as a whole. I would prefer music to diamionds - and it disturbs me when music just disappears like that! An explanation/solution would be gratefully received. I wonder whether I can ask Apple to pay for the items that have gone for good!Andrea,
have you tried to update the Ipod? If not try that, but do not restore it. If you still cannot find the songs, there is - I suppose you are using windows - a nifty little program available from Findley Designs (www.findleydesigns.com) that allows you to transfer Music from your Ipod to your PC. Download it and see if it works with one song, if it does it is about USD 14 to buy and helps if you want to transfer songs from your Ipod to your computer. If you have transferred the music to your computer you can restore your Ipod-
Good luck
Thomas
