A button "add" (+) in phone contacts and a calendar disappeared

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 4 the button "add" in phone contacts and a calendar disappeared. Updating to iOS 5 and 6 didn't help. I can't create contacts myself, only if I call number first and then choose Add to contact. I can't create an event in my calendar at all. What should I do?

settings - icloud - contacts & calendar to ON.

Have him sync his phone to iTunes on his own computer/account, and it should put everything back for him.

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? Thanks

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??
Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
Thanks

If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

Install iOS 5 onto both and you can use iCloud to sync contacts and calendars between the 2 devices.

Me too, I want to be able to synch other devices with my laptop but on trying it has deleted all contacts on my blackberry and will not synch either calendar or contacts.

My iPhone 5 freezes EVERY time I try to open a contact or add/edit a contact and freezes up pretty much on everything I do.

My iPhone 5 operates at about the speed of dial-up internet. Every time I try to do something I have to wait. My harddrive is not even close to being full and I always close out of my programs so I am confused. It is mainly a problem with contacts (adding, editing, viewing, anything). I also occasionally hardware reset (power and home button same time) to try and help but to no avail. Is this an Apple issue that a trip to the Apple Store will take care of? I am just sick and tired of having upgraded to an iphone 5 only to step backwards in speed and performance, plus switching over deleted over half of my contacts even though I had icloud set up on my 4 and also on my 5 so it should have been seamless. Is my phone a lemon?

If you have force quit all applications, performed a hard reset, software is at 6.1.4, then the device needs to be restored as new. I recommend to sync, transfer, and import all data to your computer and restore as new at this point. It is the same steps the Apple Store is going to do, its a software issue, not a hardware issue right now.

How can I add my icloud contacts and calendar back to my iphone?

As of last week, my iCloud contacts and calendar disappeared from my iPhone 4S. I was trying to do something with adding Outlook to my PC to access calendars for my children's school, and now I cannot get my iCloud contacts as a group (tried turning setting off then back on in Settings) and my iCloud calendar doesn't show up (tried turning this off then back on in Settings also - won't add it back) on my iPhone (iCloud account is intact on PC). It's as if iCloud isn't even an option any longer. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello sstoller,
It sounds like you now have no iCloud Contacts or Calendar information on your iPhone.
There are articles for each I'd recommend checking out.
Get help using iCloud Contacts
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
They both have troubleshooting sections to step through.

Icloud deleted 2nd phone contacts and apps

I connected to iCloud when upgrading my iPhone 4 to v5 s/w.
I also upgraded my wife's iPhone 3 to v5 s/w. She uses the same iTunes account to download apps, songs. All her stuff was backed up to iTunes during the upgrade.
I went ahead and connected her phone to iCloud. As recommended by the "no warning about the problems that lie ahead" encouraging message.
It has replaced all of her contacts with mine. It has replaced all of her apps with mine.
iTunes knows that we have 2 phones and handles it fine.
I assumed (foolishly) that iCloud would do the same.
Please advise - is there a way to get her contacts and apps back??
Thanks
Steve

No it doesn't!!!
I had my iCloud setup by the Geniuses at WillowBend Apple Store in Plano, TX
and yet one day my work calendar disappeared...wasn't on iCloud...wasn't in the backup
Apple engineers spent a day and restored everything but the last 2 months of data (irreplaceable data).
Despite calls several times a week to my appointed 'senior advisor'....no response as to where my data went and why it did that...
the obvious answer is that iCloud is not dependable..it is buggy..and either there are only two possible reasons Apple will not respond to my inquiries....they know why the data was lost but won't reveal it or two, they don't know and that scares them even more....but, it is a crappy thing not to even respond to me in over 2 weeks.
But heh...as long as Tim Cook gets a tingle up his leg opening nice beautiful Apple Stores....who are we to compalin

Phone contacts and Mac contacts

My husband needed Verizon so just recently got the iPhone although I've had mine from the beginning. The Verizon people transferred all his contacts that he manually entered to his old phone, to the iPhone. We also have a huge list of contacts that are synced to all our computers and MobileMe. I know many of his will be duplicates of our Mac contacts but that's okay if I can make his contacts a separate group which he'll select and I will de-select ... but will this be possible when we first sync?
Has anyone tried merging two sets of contacts and then separate them via groups? Is there another way?
Thanks!

Since you've been so helpful maybe you can steer me in the right direction for me to truly understand the difference (if any) between syncing (between mobile me, my phones, pads and macs) via iTunes settings & device settings and via the mobileme sync preferences & sync now. I've never understood it and I just want everything to have the same contacts and calendars on it but it seems the mobileme sync preferences thing always give me (more than 25%) error messages or tons of duplicates even after I reset sync data. Is there anywhere that explains it? I've been trying to understand it for years!!
MobileMe is a conglomerate of services, one of which is synchronizing between all your iOS devices (iPad, iPhone) and your Mac. It keeps your data "in the cloud" (a buzz term that has been thrown around lately that really means remotely on Apple's servers, not locally on your computer). MobileMe allows you to have all your data current by comparing it with it's master copy on their servers.
iTunes is used for synchronizing your iOS devices only. For those who do not have MobileMe, they can use iTunes to sync their contacts over the USB cable. All data is stored locally (not in the cloud) on that person's computer. If you are using MobileMe already and sync your iPhone in iTunes, it will not even look at your contacts or calendars as it knows you are using MobileMe for this. Think of iTunes and MobileMe as a one of the other thing - not both (in terms of data syncing).
When you "sync now" from the MobileMe preferences it is just referring to syncing your Mac, not your iOS devices. Syncing of MobileMe data on iOS is handled directly through the device itself. As for the 25% error message, that is a threshold that you have set up to alert you that it is about to change a significant portion of your data and a friendly warning asking if you're sure you want to proceed. Before I can suggest how to proceed, which has the most accurate, up to date data? Your Mac or Me.com?

HT1414 Is there any way to restore i-Phone contacts and photos from an earlier (not most recent) backup?

When I updated my i-Phone's version, I lost all my contacts and photos. Although I had a back-up of them, the backup disappeared when another backup was done automatically when the phone synced automatically at a later date. Is there any way to access an earlier backup, even if it is not showing under Devices in iTunes or in the Backup folder in the appropriate Apple folder under the computer's Documents and Settings?

Please start your own thread rather than by replying to a threadjacker in a post that's been dormant for over six months, especially as you couldn't have been updating to any version of iOS 5. Use a properly descriptive subject line, explain the problem you're having, what error messages you've gotten and what steps you've taken to so far to troubleshoot.
Best of luck.

Phone Contacts and Facebook

Hi everyone,
My contacts on my Z10 don't sync with Facebook correctly. When I try to add their Facebook name in contacts it doesn't sync. I have tried looking for the option in settings but can't seem to locate it. I performed a system wipe the other day due to an issue with the camera, and I'm sure the information wad syncing correctly beforehand. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey dave-willis-cc,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, are you looking for Facebook contacts to appear in your main contact list? If so, go into Contacts and swipe down from the top and go into settings. You can turn Facebook contacts on or off here.
If this is not the case, please let me know.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Lost my phone contacts and email usage while downloading itunes transferring music from itouch. How do I fix it?

Why did I lose my iphone contacts and can't get or send mail after synching my itunes from my itouch? How can I get it back? Especially the mail.

Check to see if you have a back up of the phone prior to when you lost this content (edit>preferences>devices). If so preserve this back up by putting a check mark in the "prevent ipods, ipads and iphones from syncing auto" box before plugging in your phone, then do a restore using that back up.
