Why did contacts disappear on iphone 5s

I have an iphone 5s. The phone had both a gmail email account and an Exchange email account from a previous employer. Since I am no longer with the other employer I removed the exchange email from my calendar in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars. I did not want to see recurring meetings popping up any more on my calendar.
Unfortunately, I have no lost hundreds of contacts. How can I get these back?
I no longer have access to the exchange server.
But I regularly backed up on icloud and itunes.
Thanks,

I am having this issue too.. anyone got any solution? I tried things but nothing is working.

Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

Why did contacts disappear after backup

I backed up the ipad, and after that, all of the contacts were gone. They are still there, because if you start to type a name in mail, the address automatically completes. But you cannot see the contacts in the contact list.
How can they be restored to be viewable?

This is the mail app remembering addresses and it has nothing to do with your contacts in the contacts app. This works independently of the contacts app.
If you backed up the iPad and the contacts disappeared, that's not a good thing because the way that you retrieve the contacts is to restore from a backup.

do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
do you regularly make backups? if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again. Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone? If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

Camera service has disappeared on my ipad 2, how do I find it and why did it disappear?

My camera icon is still visible but when I click on it, the service (take pictures) has disappeared, how come? where or how do I find it? why did it disappear?

It should be 'on' - if it was 'off' then the app woud be hidden and you wouldn't be able to access the app from your homescreen.
Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why did edit disappear on latest update on my iPad mini ?

Why did edit disappear on my iPad mini after the later os update?

That depends on how it is configured in the app, PJL. You can set it up to include the trash icon and go directly to Trash. Both my gmail and icloud accounts are set up that way.

Help! Why did everything disappear?

I was changing the fill on a shape I drew on a new layer, when suddenly everything I had done before disappeared and I now have only one layer with one frame. What happened?? And can I get everything back? I had a layer with a static photo, a layer with a symbol and simple motion tween (swoop in from left), and a third layer I was working on. There were 36 frames in the file. Now, Layer 1 (with one frame) has the photo and the shape showing. I've been all over the forums and support looking for a clue. Can anyone help me? Thanks!!

Hi Matt!
Thank you so much for replying to my question I¹ll be able to go back to
my Flash project later this evening, and I¹ll be able to answer these
questions. Is there some reason that two or three layers would disappear
and only Layer 1 would remain? Is there a ³flatten² type command like in
Photoshop? Thanks again!

Were you working on the tween inside of an object? It sounds like you have
an object that has 36 frame that's sitting on frame 1 of the timeline. Whe
n you were manipulating your tween, or shape, or whatever on layer 3, you
clicked out of your object and are just looking at your main timeline.
If you deleted the graphic object, you may have deleted the work you did...
Can you name the files in your library, the type of object they are, and a
description of what each object contains?

I installed this same digitizer in my T|X some weeks ago. Some discussion of my experience may be found in this Usenet posting and subsequent thread.
The stock digitizer in my T|X had always had some significant alignment issues (for which PowerDigi was able to compensate very nicely) and sensitivity which was uneven, but which usually required a heavier touch than I liked.
Eventually, it began to develop a “dead spot” near the upper left. My T|X was under warranty, so I probably ought to have sent it in to Palm to be repaired, but I wasn't willing to be without it for the required amount of time, and I've heard enough reports of other T|X owners getting unsatisfactory results this way. I'd heard enough good reports about the PDAPARTS.COm digitizer, that I decided that the only acceptable way to repair my T|X would be to install one of those.
After however many weeks it has been, I am still very pleased with the results. It continues to work flawlessly; it is much more sensitive, so it doesn't require nearly so heavy a touch, and I very much like the hard feel that it has, compared to the spongier feel of the stock digitizer.
My wife's T|X still has its stock digitizer, and it has so far not shown any of the same problems that mine did, or for which the T|X has become notorious, but the feel is noticeably inferior. She's content with it the way it is, but I think that if I were to ever buy another T|X for myself, I wouldn't wait for the stock digitizer to fail. The PDAPARTS.COM digitizer is simply superior in every imaginable way; and, in my opinion, a T|X with the PDAPARTS.COM digitizer installed is sufficiently superior to one with the stock digitizer (even if it isn't defective) to be very much worth the expense and trouble of installing it.

Why do my contacts disappear (using iphone 4s)?

Why do my contacts keep disappearing! I use ICloud to save my contacts but I have Verizon wireless backup. Could these two interfere with each other and make random contacts disappear??
The only thing in common on the contacts that I have noticed is that I have not used them recently.
Help!

This happens because when you sync them with iCloud they are moved from your phone to the iCloud server. If you turn off iCloud you are disconnecting your device from the server so it can no longer access your contacts (or other iCloud data).
If you no longer want to sync your contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone. That will keep a copy of your contact on your phone.

Why are contacts disappearing from iCloud?

I was using a friend's computer to send an email and logged onto icloud.com. I was typing an email to a contact who I knew was in my address book, but for some reason the to field in mail wasn't able to find that contact. I then went to the address book on icloud and again could not find the contact there. I had my phone handy, so I went on my iPhone and I could see plain as day that that I had that contact on my phone. And then after I accessed that contact on my phone, it magically appeared in icloud.
Wierd right?? but the wierdest thing of all is that contact had been in my phone for at least a month and it was also in my computer address book, so what is going on??
It seems like there is something really wrong with the syncing mechanism and I wonder if I did not have my iPhone handy would I have been able to find that address??
Anybody else with the same problems?? Any solutions??
Thanks

I get the exact same behavior. It is maddening. I find if I use the "sources" function, it happens more. I ended up wresting with it via the album view and it seemed better, but much less convenient. I've had this occur on the iPod app on my iPad, as well as on my iPod touch. Editting playlists is very flaky.
In addition to seeing this, I just had the playlist that I spent a good 30 minutes making, working with the disappearing bug, itself disappear after two days. The whole playlist vanished.

Contacts disappear from iPhone and then reappear

Contacts disappear on my iPhone but are still on my Mac Mini. When I enter them again on the iPhone they magically reappear. Why is this happening?

I synced my iPhone today and lost all contacts on the iPhone and my iMac address book. My iCal is still working, though. I spent an hour on the phone with an Apple Care tech and I was unable to recover anything. We even checked my old 20 gig 2nd generation iPod by going to "disk mode" but I didn't have any contact data stored in it. Is there a "disk mode" for the iPhone?
I didn't back up my contacts in Address Book (go to File - Back Up Address Book) so I know I'm out of luck and that I should probably go get Leopard for the "Time Machine" application. At least Apple gets to make some more $ off me.

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

New contacts disappear in IPhone 5

I'm adding new contacts to my iPhone 5 and after 2 min they disappear. Somebody has experience this situation?

I have been having the same problem. I had a list of money owed to me by my cousin and after he would pay some off I would put it in my notes. I had that list for months. All if a sudden it was gone one day, out of many other notes I had around it too. Before and after. I accused him of deleting it. But today I made a check list of things I needed to do, and throughout the day I was simply deleting things off the list, I don't normally do that I usually just leave a dash or check mark. But I deleted a few, still had a bunch of things on my list. Open the phone later to check and the note is gone, so are a bunch of notes. All the way back to the previous month. As if I had not taken any notes this month. Luckily my iPad is synced up with my iPhone 5 on the cloud and I have my other notes there for this month. However the list with my cousins expenditures were gone on the iPad as well as my phone. What a glitched out app. Don't know what to do about that, may start using google docs or something.
