4s - contacts, notes lost
I have an iphone 4s. I have icloud. My contacts button has been on. Same with my notes and calendar. They're all missing. Apple support has been unable to solve. Why even pay for this extra storage? I don't even see my photos in https://www.icloud.com/
I stopped backing up my photos in icloud but I used to. Where are they? This is quite maddening. I've taken these precautionary steps. Why are these new OS updates making my, otherwise fine, piece of 2-year-old hardware suck?
Doesn't the NSA have a back? As well as undisclosed private companies? Can I obtain my info from them?! Only half kidding.
Thanks
Your contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.

Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

Lost contacts, notes and reminders
HI! Today I lost contacts, notes and reminders on my iPhone. I checked on my iCloud account and everything is there, then I checked iCloud settings on my iPhone and all options are off except for Find My iPhone. I did not turn on everything because I am worried that I could lose information on iCloud. How can I restore my contacts, notes and reminders to my iPhone from my iCloud account?
Hello jguevara.diaz ,
I see why you did not want to turn those on. Fortunately, you will not lose your information on iCloud by turning ON contacts, notes and reminders.
Have a good one! -
I have a 3GS iPhone, version 3.1.2. I have never plugged my phone into a computer or synced with iTunes. If I do so now, I will I lose everything? What steps need to be taken to ensure that all of my data, contacts, photos, etc. are not lost?

Contact notes: MFE lost formatting after edit with...
The text in my contact notes field loses the formatting. End of line is not being kept in the device. In Outlook the text remains normally formatted with proper end of lines.
I have this problem with MFE (I use the last versions of MailForExchange). The problem does not happen with Roadsync.
Tested with E65, E71.
In Outlook, I store lot of text in the Notes Field of each of my Contacts. After syncing with the mobile device, I check the content in the device and the text appears as one sentence. The End Of Line EOL (input by enter key) is being ignored.
If I create the contact on the mobile device and edit the contact notes only on the mobile device this does not happen. As soon as I edit the notes field in outlook and after the next sync, the text appears as all lines together without EOL.
Switching back to Roadsync and resyncing all data: all contact notes are properly displayed in the mobile device too.
Does anyone know how to avoid that Outlook messes up the formatting of the contact notes in the device?i saved some information in the task boxes, which somehow do hold the original format. it is a better than nothing option since the contact details permitted in n71 are so sparse.

Upgrade to iOS4.2.1 has lost all my Contacts, Notes, Calendars!
Hi,
I sync'd my iPhone 3G with iTunes yesterday and was prompted to install the latest 4.2.1 phone update. I did this and now all my contacts and notes have not been restored!
During the update, the phone was backed up and, after the update, there were messages saying that Contacts, Notes etc were being restored but when I opened my Contacts, it was empty!
I've tried selecting the "Restore" button and it went through the restore process and again said it was restoring my contacts - but they are still empty!
Can't believe iTunes would not have backed up my Contacts before wiping the phone! This seems to have been a fairly major update as it took over an hour to do the update and return (minus my contacts!). I had literally hundreds of contacts and notes on the phone so this will be a nightmare if I don't get them back
Anybody know how I can recover my Contacts and Notes?The software update process does not touch any user data or settings. Fact is, merely updating your software should not have deleted your contacts. Something else is going on here. First of all, the only signed firmware available for your phone is iOS 4.3. So, how were you able to update to iOS 4.2.1, since that is no longer available from Apple? First thing done when you update software is an iPhone backup. Included in that backup are your contacts. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC, right-click your phone in the left device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select the backup made when you started to update your phone. Note: this will also install iOS 4.3 on your phone.

Hello,
my computer crashed, so I had to install my laptop new. Of course my iTunes also! I did the first synchronisation after this installation. All Programms are there, my calendar was o.k.... but ALL CONTACTS are lost!! I didn´t make a hook on sychronisation for my contacts! But now, there are no contacts on my iPod anymore. Were are they? Can I find them? What can I do now? I had never synchr. them to outlook.
I´m frustrated, please help me!!No it doesn´t!
I didn´t sync the contacts to my computer (privat contacts, business laptop), I did no hook on this option! Everyting was right... only my contacts were lost. If I would sync, the dates of outlook would be now on my iPod. But here is NOTHING now!
I hope, that the data are not lost, I don´t think, that this date were lost like formating a disk. Maybe a link to my data is lost or something. They MUST be on my iPod, but this is apple, not windows, I can´t dig deeper in the System... I don´t know how to do this.
I did:
I installed new iTunes on fresh notebook
sync Outlook Calendar to iPod (this did right), nothing else to that time.
I got crazy!

Activesync issues with large contact notes field
I'm running into an issue where changes made at the end of a large note in a contact do not get synced, while changes at the beginning do.
Can anyone else confirm? Is this an activesync or apple implementation issue?
I ran into something similar on the blackberry side - would only evaluate first 1k chars. Fixed with a software update.Please let me know whether you experience the following issue, and submit feedback (or if you are an Apple Developer, a bug report). This issue is not related to synchronization.
Title/Subject:
Contacts 7.1 replaces one contact's Notes with another contact's Notes
Summary:
This issue's significance is severe because data is permanently lost: After searching for contacts and editing one of the contact's Notes, all found contacts' Notes are replaced with the changed contact's Notes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the Contacts 7.1 app in OSX 10.8.2.
2. Search for a string that appears in several contacts' Notes field.
3. Click on one of the contacts in the search results.
4. Ensure that "Edit Card" mode is NOT enabled.
5. Alter the found string in the contact's Notes field.
6. Click on a different contact in the search results list.
Expected Results:
The change is saved and the changed contact disappears from the search results list.
Actual Results:
All found contacts disappear from the search results list, and all found contacts' Notes are replaced with the changed contact's Notes.
Regression:
This issue did not exist in OSX 10.7's Address Book app. I have not had the opportunity to test earlier releases of OSX 10.8's Contacts app.
Notes:
Example:
Suppose a search for "P1" finds three contacts:
Name: Alan | Note: Ask permission. P1
Name: Betsy | Note: Backup files. P1
Name: Charles | Note: Call. P1
While "Edit Card" mode is NOT enabled, in Alan's note, change "P1" to "P2". Then click on Betsy in the search results list. Betsy and Charles' Notes are erroneously and permanently replaced with Alan's Note:
Name: Alan | Note: Ask permission. P2
Name: Betsy | Note: Ask permission. P2
Name: Charles | Note: Ask permission. P2 -
How to recover notes lost in syncing error
I was trying to sync my notes to my Gmail, but kept getting an error message. I deleted the google account and re-added it, but all of my recent notes disappeared and are nowhere to be found, either in google or on my mac. How can I recover these notes?
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone. -
Firm ware rebuild, notes lost, how can I find them?
Had to have Apple rebuild my Firm ware, then was told to sync the phone as new and not off previous backup. All settings are then of course lost, including notes. Can I get these important notes back without rebuilding from the previous backup?
If there was a bug in the actual OS then yes, it is possible that restoring from back up will put that corrupt file back on...but that is why the poster said after you get the notes you need, then restore again as a new iPhone...
When you're in iTunes on the info Tab you can choose to sync certain items with that computer so that you don't lose them again...things like email accounts, calendars, contacts, notes, bookmarks etc...
if you have these already set to sync in this tab then you should have them on your computer already and just need to sync them back... go back to that info tab and re check all the boxes of items you want synced
Notes and calendars and contacts sync to Outlook -
I recently updated my IPhone 4 software to IOS 6.1 When I turned the phone back on my contacts were lost? only a few that were in favorites were still there. I was getting messages that I have to delete some backup storage (which I did) and the contacts still do not appear.ellen2140
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?
No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS1. Log onto Outlook Web Access
2. Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3. Select "See All Options"
4. Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not. -
Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.
