Why do my recent phone contacts keep disappearing and re-appearing?

I recently bought an iPhone 4S and synced my contacts from my previous smart phone.
Now, the contacts I add get saved, but they keep disappearing and re-appearing automatically. This has been happening for almost a month now.
It is very embarassing when my new Manager calls up and I ask who he is.
Please help.

So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

  • Contacts keep disappearing and reappearing on my iPhone

    I have an iPhone 4S, 32GB, with Sprint.  I have the iOS 7.0.2 on my phone. 
    Since the first iOS 7 came out, I keep losing contacts in my phone.  People's entries will disappear right out from my phone.  I usually have to go to settings, re-enable each group, and restart the phone a couple of times before the issue is fixed.  I just had a friend call me and couldn't tell who it was.  And it appears that the contacts that it is choosing not to display (in either the phone book contacts, or under the contacts app) are random.  Has anyone else been having this issue with their contacts?  And are there any fixes to this.  It is very frustrating not knowing who belongs to what phone number.  I'm going to have to start writing everything down in a paper address book.
    Also, I've noticed that my cellular signal has been super, super slow since the update as well.  I don't know if this an issue related just to Sprint, or if this is general for all of the carriers.
    Thanks everyone, I appreciate the time and considerations.

    reset all settings
    settings- general- reset - reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
    if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes

  • My address book contacts keep disappearing and I haven't upgraded only updated.  Any ideas?

    My address book contacts disappear from the address book application, but when I check the library the files seem to be there.  If I click on one of the files that should contain contact info, they are blank.  I've restored the files twice from my time capsule and it works for awhile and then suddenly they seem to be missing again.  I haven't upgraded to OS X, so the online support on address book does not help.  I've only been maintaining the automatic updates.  Any thoughts on my magically disappearing contacts?  It makes synching my ipod a dangerous act.

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore the iPod from backup

  • My forwart text feature on IOS 8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know how to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone, is there another way to fix this feature?

    my forward text message feature on IOS8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone. Is there any other way to fix this?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?

  • My contacts keep disappearing on my Iphone4s

    When I go to send a text or call I type the contact name the number its under and I recognizes the contact, but when I actually text or call the contact name disappears and just shows the number saved. I went to my contact list and most every contact name and number is gone. I typed the contact name in the search bar of my contact list and none of them show up. I reset my phone to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't help. Can someone please help me fix this problem, it is very frustrating.

    Do you use iCloud and sync contacts?
    If so does anyone else use your Apple ID?
    If so do any of them use your Apple ID with iCloud?
    If so then they got your contacts on their device and deleted them, which deleted them from iCloud and deleted them from your phone.

  • 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 .

    Macintosh: How to Reset PRAM and NVRAM
    This document explains how to reset the parameter random access memory (PRAM) and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) on Macintosh computers.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models

    I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
    I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

  • Disappearing and Re-Appearing Dock

    I have a Macbook Pro that runs 10.4.11.
    I just installed several updates last night including some sort of security patch and new version of iTunes and ever since then, my Mac has been randomly freezing with the hourglass icon (rainbow disk keeps spinning indefinitely) and the dock disappearing and re-appearing at variable intervals.
    I have already restarted the computer a few times, but the problem persists.
    I don't have the OS disks with me at the moment, since I am out of town.
    Are there any other known workarounds?
    Thanks, in advance.

    Hi,
    I attempted the Disk Utility Repair but it did not work.
    So I disabled the application 'StickyWindows' and this resolved the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • My phone contacts keep appearing and disappearing again!

    I have an iPhone 5s currently running on IOS 8.2. Up until 1.30/2pm yesterday it was working completely fine until I tried to add a contact from a group message (which I has been part of for a while now and have never had problems with before) when all the other contacts in the group suddenly stopped showing their names and just showed the numbers. When I went on to the contacts half of them had disappeared, as had all the recent contacts and favourite contacts from my home screen. All my phone messages that used to show the senders names just showed their numbers so I had no idea which messages were from who. After a while they eventually all came back but it proceeded to do this again as soon as I started using it again with them constantly disappearing and reappearing. I tried plugging it in which helped when I first tried but not the second time later on and I tried turning it off and on but the contacts still didn't reappear. What is wrong?? Please help!

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    Are you using iCloud to sync your contacts? If yes, try to switch off syncing in Settings/iCloud, say yes when asked if you want to keep the contact info on the phone, reset the phone, go to Settings/iCloud and active contact syncing again.

  • Wounded Veteran. My notes, Favorites and most of my contacts keep disappearing! Help!!

    I have the iPhone 4S and ever since I downloaded the iOS7 my phone has not worked well.  My contacts keep disappering, same with my notes and I need my notes to help remember.  Other times I'll be watching a video and the volume will just stop working.  Sometimes, apps will just freeze up when I'm using them or the phone will just freeze up.  However, the biggest problem is the disappearing contacts and notes.  I need both of them and when I need them they always seem to disapear. Please Help!

    it would be better for you to speak with iTunes Store support. They will need to  ask you questions so this issue can be sorted out immediately.
