ALL contacts deleted after APP updates

Hi
All my contacts were deleted after some applications were updated on my Iphone. How do I restore from my computer backup only the CONTACT information, as my phone has photos which have yet to be backed up onto the computer. I cant backup my phone now as my contact list is empty. Advice anyone?

Golly, you've been a contributor here for a while now, so surely you know that this is a user-to-user community, not a place to YELL at your carrier or BB. I realize you are upset, but YELLING at the kind volunteers who might want to help you may not result in them wanting to help you (if you want help...your post is more of a commentary than a request for help).
Good luck.

  • Help - All Contacts deleted after deleting mobile me account on iphone.

    I don't know what has happened but all my contacts have gone from my iphone. The only thing I am conscious of doing is deleting the trial mobile me account from the iphone following the expiry of the trial period. Is there any backup on my computer to recover these? I can't see anything obvious in iTunes. Is there any other way of getting them back?

    If the internet connection to your MobileMe online address book is lost for whatever reason (in this case you cancelled your MobileMe account so there was no longer an internet connection to your MobileMe online address book), the contacts on your iPhone don't disappear. The contacts are cached locally so if your MobileMe online address book is not available for whatever reason, you still have access to the contacts to place a call, send an MMS, etc.
    When deleting the account from your iPhone, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe account are deleted from your iPhone - the cache in this situation. When you first turned Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, what happened? If you don't remember, all existing contacts on your iPhone were erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book. After this, the contacts were being kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book but not technically stored locally on your iPhone. When you deleted the account, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe online address book were deleted with the account.
    Since all existing contacts on your iPhone were deleted when first turning Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, where did your MobileMe online contacts originate from? Did your MobileMe online contacts originate from the Address Book on your Mac? If not, they should have and should have been kept synchronized between your MobileMe online address book and your iPhone. If so, your contacts should remain in the Address Book on your Mac and you can sync your iPhone direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • All contacts deleted after last sync

    After the first sync since I got the new 2.0 update on my iPhone last week, suddenly all my Contacts were gone!! I checked, and the reason was that for some "God knows why" the Address Book of my Mac had lost all of the contacts too. I have got Entourage as well, which is synchronized with the Address Book (had it like that for more than a year, and worked fine, always "syncing" fine between them and with the iPhone). I checked that all the right options, buttons were correctly clicked and still nothing. Restarted the Mac again and the same. Fortunately, I managed to export into a text file the contacts from Entourage and import the txt file to the Address Book and after 5 mins, fine. I have synched my iPhone now and it has got the contacts back again, although I have lost the customizing, like photos for each contact, ringing tone, etc...
    What has happened!!
    Hopefully is nothing to do with Apple trying to push the MobileMe or something!!!
    Has this happened to somebody else too??

  • All Contacts Deleted After Upgrade to 4.2 and Sync

    I just upgraded to iOS 4.2 on my iPhone 4. I have my contacts set to not sync to the computer, instead relying on backups of the phone. After the upgrade I got a text and noticed that the name was not displayed, only the number. When I looked in my phone favorites the names displayed for a split second and then went to numbers. It appears that either the upgrade or the sync deleted every one of my contacts. When I tried to restore from the most recent backup (today) it was the same story, no contact information. I have to restore the phone to the backup before the upgrade, from October.
    I don't want to sync the contacts to the computer because it will mess up several of my wife's contacts. Is there a way to import the contacts from the October backup in to today's backup where it mysteriously deleted them? I only have them stored on the phone and in phone backups. Also, shouldn't it warn me if a sync is going to change or remove a significant amount of information stored on the phone?
    Thanks in advance...

    Seeding as iOS 4.2 is not available to the general public and is a beta problems may occur when installing. Since it is only available to developers, one would assume you're a developer and the dev forum would be the right place to post issues.

  • All pictures deleted after software update?

    I NEED HELP
    after having done a regular software update, my macbook didn't start up anymore.
    so I had to reinstall everything.
    the programm iphoto and the pictures that were in it were gone atferwards.
    so does anyone know if I my photos do still exist? where can I find them? What can I do to get them back? shouldn't they still be somewhere on the laptop?
    CAN U HELP ME?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    When you ”re-installed everything“ did you wipe the disk first? What re-install option did you use exactly?
    Regards

    P.s. Block capitals are hard to read and on the forum they look like you're shouting.

    If you have been regularly syncing/backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you may try restoring it from the last backup.

    Make sure to turn OFF automatic syncing in iTunes before connecting your iPhone.

  • Wallaby animation isn't working correctly after app update

    Hi DPS fellows,
    This afternoon I've updated my Adobe Content Viewer and all my wallaby animations began to work in a different way.
    It's just fades in instead of doing the animation.
    Most of them are just animated letters for a headline. The animations consist in each letter appear at different time, sometimes coming form right, some form left or from the top of the page, but after the updated, they just appear in a fade in. Before tha worked pretty fine.
    Does anybody here knows how to solve that?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi!
    I have a German manual with a step by step list. How you can use Path-Objects (Text and Frames) for an Wallaby HTML5 animation. And used in the Adobe DPS Folios.
    If you want to have the manual in German, I can send you this e-mail tomorrow!
    Bye!

  • I'm beginning to believe you cannot delete unwanted app updates.  Is that a correct assumption?

    Am I correct in assuming you cannot delete unwanted app updates?

    They should have a "More" link on each. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore update from the context menu. This is all you can do.
    If you erase the software from all disks, then you should not be bothered about them at all.

    Try a reset or restart.
    If the app is still missing, download again via iTunes or connect to the computer and sync it back from iTunes on the computer.
    Frankly, in the time it took to sign up and post here the app could have already been re synced from iTunes on the computer.

  • Deny/Stop/Delete an App Update

    There is an update to a particular App that I do not want to install (the reason isn't that important, but it's because the new version will be loaded with ads).
    Is there a way to deny or delete and app update, so that it doesn't come up on the "Updates Available" screen on your iPhone/iPod touch, or iTunes?
    thanks!

    Unfortunately, unlike on a Mac computer, it's impossible to remove a software update from the list, it will just keep nagging you to install any updates that are available.
    I suggest leaving a note to Apple here:
