All but 3 contacts and some pics disappeared from my iphone 4. I am getting pics of people I don't know showing up now. Help?!

I had my phone stolen last month and had it immediately shut off and flagged as stolen. Redid passwords also. I have my son's old iphone 4 and had my info transferred to it. Verizon was able to switch it over and all my contacts and pics showed up. Now all but 3 contacts disappeared and the old photos. I am getting pics of someone else daily on my phone now. Can someone please help me!?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

  • My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad! How can I retrieve them??

    My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad. Can they be retrieved?

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

    All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!
    Message was edited by: KkAaTt

    When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
    Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
    When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.

  • My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

    My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
    I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
    The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
    I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
    General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
    Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
    Questions:
    1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
    2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
    3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
    Thank you.
    DD

    Hi Dahveed,
    Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
    In the end I was forced to upgrade.
    I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
    I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
    Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
    The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
    In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
    On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.

  • TS1702 My purchased Draw Something App has disappeared from my iPhone, how do I get it back and will I have lost my points and current game?

    I have been using my draw something app for about a year and a half and suddenly it has disappeared from my iPhone.  What do i do now? I had loads of points and was up to about 30 on my latest game so if I download the app again will I go back to the start.

    Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
    Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?

    You access it through contacts.

  • TS4009 since I updated my windows prog. to 8, all my contacts and Calendar have disappeared from outlook...?

    I downloaded a new version of Windows Outlook 8 - I can no longer access ICloud for  my Contacts, nor the Calendar from Outlook.

    solved problem, ran MS diagnostics on outlook which found and fixed one problem. Uninstalled iCloud and all associated files (calendar, contacts,) in Outlook (could not uninstall before problem was fixed - got an outlook error message). Reinstalled iCloud and synched contacts and calendars.  I'm back to where I was yesterday.

  • I am setting up my new iPad mini.  I managed most of it, but the contacts, and some of the apps didn't transfer.  How do I accomplish this?

    I am setting up my new iPad mini from my iMac.  I have backed up my old ipad so all info has been saved and sinced. I did not get my contacts and apps when the download, or sinc was complete.  How do I add them?  BTW, the instructions given while installing during the get started portion instructed me to use the start as new option.  Thanks

    You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
    In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

  • Ipod won't sync and some music disappeared from drives

    I have about 2300 songs on my Ipod classic 30gb.
    Recently I was asked to automatically update Ipod. At any rate, yesterday evening I noticed that there were a few exclamation marks on my playlist. It turns out that about 35 songs have suddenly disappeared off my hard drive. About 30 of them were all loaded around the same time (about 6 weeks ago), but not all the songs from that date were missing.
    Now, when I go to sync, my Ipod will not sync with ITunes (I first tried because the deleted songs from my drive are still on the Ipod).
    I am also seeing that my Ipod music is coming up greyed out. When I tried the diagnostic, I received what many have been writing about. A message that says "one or more sync tests failed."
    Since I have the music on my computer, and own the music of the missing songs, I reset my Ipod and did a restore. The problem is NOT fixed. I will get the Ipod to sync when the music gets loaded back on, but then, never after that.
    All the missing songs had been deleted from my Itunes playlist before doing the re-sync to make sure it was not a corruption issue.
    Meanwhile, 2 other curious things. I have an older Ipod that does show up. But I also had a friend who brought her Ipod over about a month ago. We plugged it in and it was greyed out at the time. We couldn't access it on my computer. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I am concerned. But this was before I updated the software.
    I will say that even before the update, I would get messages acting as if I did not have anything on my Ipod drive (it would say, no disk in Drive I, where the Ipod would be). This usually happened at the end of a session and I would
    just hit continue or cancel and it would just go away. The bottom line was that it always synced for me. Now, after an alleged sync, it says it's syncing, but it doesn't really do it.
    I have done extensive virus checking and my computer is not infected.
    Numerous reports on not being able to sync have appeared on the internet and I have not seen 1 single solution, except for a fix on the IPod shuffle. This looks to be a potential ITunes update glitch.
    My fear is buying a new IPod and having this thing happen again.
    Essentially it ends the life of your IPod at the songs you already have stored on it. Unless I want to just keep restoring my Ipod every time I load music, which, to be honest, is ridiculous.
    However, that is the only time this will sync.
    Anybody know what I can do?

    I just tried CopyTrans Doctor, based upon the suggestion on another thread.
    I am glad it is a trial, because it said my IPod is fine. It is not fine.
    Still trying to figure this one out.

  • All iTunes Store items and NetFlix have disappeared from my menu

    I noticed today that the iTunes Store is completely gone from my menu.
    The Movies Tab is there but just the option for "In Theaters", TV Shows is gone all together and NetFlix is removed.
    Everything else works (YouTube, Streaming from my iMac, AirPlay from all devices)
    I don't understand what gives. I am scared to do a Reset due to the fact I don't have the remote any longer and will lose the connection to my Remote App.
    Any suggestions or something I am doing wrong.

    Disregard this message, found another thread on the matter.
    Unplugging the device solved the problem.

  • Some Appointments Disappear from the iPhone

    We are running Microsoft Exchange 2003 SP2. We have a particular user with an iPad, iPhone, and using Microsoft Outlook 2007. Whenever he creates appointments with a specific person, occassionally these appointments will not show up on his iPhone or iPad (Sometimes they show on one and not the other).
    We have a specific appointment right now that isn't showing on his iPhone. I opened the appointment in Outlook, didn't change anything then hit "Send Update". The appointment then began showing up in the iPhone. About 20 minutes later however, the appointment disappeared again. I have no idea why these appointments are disappearing. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know why these appointments disappear? Thanks!

    I had the same problem, and tried setting the Calenders "sync"to All events", it seems to work.

  • HT1349 iphone weather app disappeared from my iphone, how do i get it back?

    The iPhone weather app on my Verizon iPhone disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Okay, I figured it out.  When people in this community say the app is possibly in another folder that means that your apps/icons can actually be put inside of another app/icon.  My weather app went inside of my one of my other apps/icons and it was not visible as two apps/icons - it shows up looking like one black icon and if you look inside of it there are two apps inside of it. 
    Good luck with your disappearing apps/icons! I was so sad and almost did a reset.  I am glad I didn't go through with it.

  • Contacts and calendar won't sync to iphone

    So I just updated to 2.1, and then let the iphone sync. I noticed that changes that I made on iCal were not syncing to my iPhone, so I checked the boxes at the bottom of the info scree that said "replace information" for contacts and calendar. All of my contacts and calendars then disappeared from my iPhone, and I was flashed the "inconsistencies in your sync..." message. I had seen this message a couple days ago when I edited somethings on iCal but I didn't think anything of it.
    So with no contacts or calendars I tried resyncing to no avail. I have restored the iPhone twice and still I get that dialogue box, and no contacts or calendar events synched to my iPhone.
    Please help me...I don't know why this is happening.

    yup, tried that to no avail. I made a new user account and the syncing works fine on that account but still doesn't work on my original account. Its not an iphone issue, but a user issue. I've been on the phone with apple care and they have no idea right now how to fix this. I will update if anything gets fixed. All help is welcome...thanks.
