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 data deleted after upgrade to iOS8

    I am deeply sad. All data has been deleted after upgrade to iOS8.
    What I did:
    1. Connect ipad to PC to transfer records from voice recorder.
    2. iTunes offered to upgrade system.
    3. I confirmed.
    4. Some unknown error occured in the end of upgrade process.
    5. When iPad started, iOS8 was there. All data disappeared.
    6. I am sad. All valued data I need is lost... (no backup has been done before upgrade).
    Pls advice is it possible to get data back.

    Yes. I did backup.
    But don't know how to get it.
    Actualy, all I need is 2 records from Recorder programm. Before upgrade I downloaded records from itunes; screen → http://joxi.ru/caQdVIwyTJDKAjTtsuk
    Now it is empty, no records.
    I see that backup of this programm data available in storage. But don't know how to get it from there; screen → http://joxi.ru/taUdVP3JTJAaYtIkBaI
    By the way iTunes tells me that backup copies available for today only → http://joxi.ru/7KUdVP3JTJBAXfQZjgI

  • ALL contacts deleted after APP updates

  • 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 Photos Deleted After Upgrading to Mavericks

    Since I have upgraded, I cant find any of my photos and iPhoto cannot find any libraries...
    Any ideas where my photos are???

    Ok, the exact same thing happened to me - all my apps got deleted! I wasn't impressed. But I figured it out in the end! Go to the App Store app, click on update, then hit the purchased icon. All the apps you've ever had onyour phone (purchased or not) will be displayed. Click on each and every app individually, and every app will be installed back on your phone! Previous usernames and passwords will be remembered - it's like they never got deleted in the first place! Hope this helps!

  • All apps deleted after upgrading to iOS 5

    I upgraded to iOS 5 today, everything went fine, but all my apps were deleted and I don't know why.
    I've tried restoring from back up, but the most recent back up is without the apps.
    Is there any way to fix this? I have my pictures, music, and everything else, but no apps.

  • Outlook 2011 on my iMac crashing after upgrading iPad with iCloud and syncing

    Plugged in my iPad to iMac.  It asked to upgrade iPad to 5.0.1.  Install seemed to go fine. I then synced calendars and contacts thru iTunes.  When I later restarted iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) Outlook 2011 crashed as soon as messages window opened.  Other Office products-Word and Excel still work fine.
    I Time Machined my Database-same crash.  Time machined the entire Outlook application-same crash.
    Reinstalled Outlook application from my original Office DVD.  Now get a "Microsoft Office cannot be opened because of a problem" error message with no attempt to open program. 
    Any suggestions out there?

    It isn't possible unless your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) or higher.  Also, you cannot sync iCloud contacts and calendars with Outlook 2011 for Mac, it that's what you have.  It will only sync these with the built-in OS X contacts and calendars apps.  (It will sync contacts and calendars with Outlook 2007 or higher for Windows.)

  • Hi All,How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary keys

    Hi All,
            How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary key fields .Please provide me the required procedure .
    Thanks&Regards.
    Bharat.

    Hi Bharat,
    First thing is you need to have the access key to change any standard dictionary object/standard programs/ standard transactions.You may get this from your basis person after getting approval from your respective manager.But changing or modifying the standard object is not recommended, but if there is no alternate to meet the business requirement then we have to follow this way only.
    Next, you need to check whether this table's primary key is being used in any other table as foreing key or not. If there is, then you must remove this relation and then you can delete the unncessary primary key field from that table.Finally you can add the two new fields and set them as primary key, save, check for any errors and activate.
    Hope this helps.
    Please reward if useful.
    Thanks,
    Srinivasa

  • How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

    How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

  • After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

    After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
    I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option
