After updating to ios 6.1.2 my contacts only show facebook contacts.  I know my contacts are there because I can text by name.

I updated my phone last night to ios 6.1.2.  When a text came in I saw it only showed a number but no name.  It was a friend that should be in my contacts list. I then checked my contacts and it only shows facebook friends with no phone numbers.  I then tried to send a text to a friend by name and it linked the name to the correct number but then only showed the number on the text and not the name.  How do I get all my contacts back?  I have many professional contacts that I need during the week.  I'm pretty sure they are still there but just hidden somewhere.

nope.  I think the update erased the contacts.  The update was for an exchange calendar bug.  This may have affected my contacts.  I use windows mail version for vista.  It just seemed simple to read mail without setting up outlook.  So I guess ordinarily I would just get them off the computer thru itunes but without a program to sync to I guess they are gone.  Some are still there with phone numbers but I guess only facebook friends.  What a mess.  I guess they are all gone.  I had originally thought that they would be backed up.  Now I guess I am building two or three years of contacts again.  Wish I'd kept my old phone.  Would have been worth the money to just keep that as a back-up.

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

    After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
    AJ

    Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • After updating to iOS 8.0.1, my iphone 6 shows "No Service"

    After updating my iphone 6 to iOS 8.0.1.1, I can't connect to ATT cell tower and my phone shows "No Service".  I tried to reboot phone, turn on/off airplane mode, take in/out of SIM card.  But none of these helped.
    Has anyone experience this issue??

    Confirmed solution from Apple:
    You need to do a full OS restore through iTunes on your phone. You can then restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup to be back in business. It *****, but that's the only solution right now.

  • After updating to IOS 8, my cellular enabled iPad will show "no service" unless turned off and completely rebooted.  Does anyone else have this issue?

    After updating to IOS8, my iPad 2,  which has both AT&T cellular and wifi, needs to be completely turned off and rebooted to get cellular service. Does anyone else have this issue ?

    Hi Hi Steve Giusto,
    If you are having issues with Xxx_state issue here_xxX, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    HT5137
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • TS1398 After updating to iOS 7 my iphone 5 won't show any wifi networks or connect to any wifi even after resetting the network connections. HELP!

    After updating my iphone 5 to iOS 7 my phone won't show any wifi networks or connect to any. I reset the network connections and still nothing.

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

  • My iPhone 3GS won't isn't recognizable after updating to iOS 6.0.1. I have a MacBook and an iMac. Both are also up to date. iPhone 3GS turns on, and charges from wall. Does not get recognized by either computer. Help!

    My iPhone 3GS has worked like a charm. I stupidly agreed to do the software update today, and now both of my computers ignore it. Both computers are Mac. Both are updated. This is extremely frustrating, since I need my phone today for work purposes, and since I can't add music to it...it's basically useless. I use it as an MP3 player to play music during wedding Cocktail Hours.

  • After downloading a book to the Iphone it did not show up on the IPad, although both are enabled.  I can locate both devises using the same Apple ID.  Is WiFi necessary to synchronize books through the iCloud?

    If both the iphone and ipad are locatable with the same apple id, should I expect the books purchased on one will appear in the book shelf of the other?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to make a purchase from one device download to another, you need to enable automatic downloads on that device at settings > store.

    Hi,

    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

    Probably the app developers fault but then Apple needs to warn people about compatiblity of apps... I will add a review note to TOP 3 to warn people
    If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
    I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.
