After syncing in i Tines I lost ALL Contacts on i Phone

When last syncing i Phone, I lost all my contacts on my i Phone. I still have them in Google (Gmail). In i Tunes I have the box checked off "Sync contacts with Google contacts" but still it does not do this. Can anyone help? Thanks

I've solved it.
When you look in "Google Contacts, you'll find different categories like "Friends, Family, Coworkers...."
Now some of your contacts may be in these categories or the whole lot may just be under "All Contacts"
The secret is to have all your contacts in "My contacts"
You do that by going to where all your contacts are located (in my case under "All Contacts")
Choose Select All and then select move to My Contacts
Sync and you have your contacts on your I Phone

  • I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

    I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!    

  • Lost all contacts and dial pad on iphone 3gs after update

    Hi, please can someone help, ive lost all contacts and the abillity to add , also my dial pad wont work, all after update , i cant even re ad contacts through my messages.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  For some reason, are you not using the device as designed?
    As for other issues... basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • After I reset the iPod I lost all of the iPod contents.  When I attempted to resynch I learned the iPod did not have enough space.  How can this be so when I have nothing on the iPod?

    You will prbably had other sync setting than the default ones
    Check if the option "Only sync marked songs" is checked.

  • After upgrade I Lost all contacts

    After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

    Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service.  If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

  • Whilst updating my boyfriends phone after backing up to iTunes it accidentally got disconnected. when reconnected it synced all contacts from my phone back instead. can this be reversed and his data retrieved ?

    whilst updating boyfriends iPhone 4 it got accidentally unplugged from iTunes's .
    when reconnected it starting syncing all contacts from my phone and did not list his phone in
    the devices drop down bar.
    help everything gone from his phone and now he has some of my contacts and his phone says
    its called Emma iPhone now instead of Tony's iPhone.
    where has his back up data got stored?

    Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Hi jandroantonio,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:

  • Lost all contacts after Lion

    Lost all contacts how do I get them down for icloud?

    Generally, this is caused when the index database gets corrupted. You can delete it and it will be rebuilt from the data.
    Make a backup of your Address Book using File>Export>Address Book archive.
    Then, go to the Finder and hold down option key while selecting Go menu. Choose Library.
    Navigate to your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the adressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Start Address book and your contacts should be back.
    If you are syncing with anything, you might want to turn that off while you do this.

  • Lost all contacts with sync?

    lost all contacts with sync?

    Same grief here - I've found this kind of problem goes back at least 4 years!
    My 'old' iPod Touch lost my stored photos and Contact list when I had to reset it.
    No problem, just Sync with iTunes.... now my photos and Contacts refuse to transfer from MacBook to Touch in any way I select iTunes Sync!!!
    The pictures I'm not too worried about but I refuse to tap in 115 sets of Contact details.
    And I'm still to find a straight forward sctual solution...

    after updating my my Iphone 4 I lost all contacts  - anyone else - how to resolve?

    If updating to iOS 7 caused your contacts to disappear, please call your AppleCare number and tell the advisor your issue. He should have you escalated to a senior advisor in which they can further assist you as far as trying to get your contacts back to you.
