All contacts lost after updating software, incl. icloud

After having updated software on my iPhone in Settings I have lost all my contacts in my iPhone.
I got iCloud installed as part of the updte and after that I have no access.
When I log into iCloud there are no contacts either.
What to do?

    You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer all along.  They should be in your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • All contacts gone after phone software update by O...

    Here's another one for you: after performing a software update from within Ovi Suite with automatic backup before and restoration afterwards, the following is missing from my C3-01 phone: 1. All contacts are gone (yikes!); 2. The main view settings are back to default, not what I selected. Fortunately I was able to restore the contacts from a previous backup so BEWARE: before updating, make sure you have a separate manual backup since the automatic restoration performed by the Ovi Suite does NOT deliver.

    Furthermore, the selected group tones are gone and all back to Default. It appears these are not part of a backup...

  • Logic folder corrupted and all projects lost (after update onto 10.0.6 most likely), is there anyway to restore them?

    Hi,
    Has anyone experienced Logic Pro X's Logic folder corruption after update onto 10.0.6 (released 9.1.2014)? All my projects were disappeared from the folder and cannot find them anywhere with disc recovery tools, naturally no backups for the projects and set up Time Machine  few days after 10.0.6 update (quite nice!) and did not touch Logic for month or so and now all projects gone!
    I would appreciate any help to get those recovered and yes the importance of backupping the projects is now finally understood by the hard way.
    Thx,
    Supercomp1

    Will try this approach provided by

  • Lost all contacts & messages after updating to Bel...

    Can anyone help please?? Nokia Ovi Suite said it was backing up before installing - in fact I couldn't load the new software without it. I can see the obscure backup file on my laptop. Have lost all my contacts and messages on my phone. Does anyone know how I can restore the backup file? Tried to synch thru Suite but it had same information as my phone - not the backup details, which seems completely pointless! Help please - thanks!

    Have also lost all calendar entries - which I need!
    Have you ever synchronized your phone's contacts, messages, calendar, photos, etc. with Nokia Suite before upgrading to Belle?
    If you did, then you can have them back by synchronizing again. If you didn't then I'm sorry to tell you you've lost that info, but even in this scenario you have one last chance; that is by restoring the info previously backed up from your phone with Nokia Suite. Do not restore your apps, just restore contacts, calendar and messages if they are available.
    Hope it helps.
    Cheers!!!

  • TS4036 all contacts lost after sync with icloud

    I activated the icloud using my iphone 4s. Suddenly all of my 1000s of contacts were gone. I hope they would still be there on my desktop (till recent sync). There were probably no contacts in my icloud and it wiped those on my cell. This should have been merge and icloud should have updated. Now should I turn off icloud and just sync my iphone.

    Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.

  • All contacts lost after turning on icloud IOS 5.1.1

    Today I turn on icloud on my iphone 4 using ios 5.1.1 to sync my contacts, once it done, all my contacts disappeared from my address book.
    I have done everything I can and search on the internet but no way I can get the contacts back. I already tried turning off icloud and choose Keep on my Iphone option, tried turning on icloud again but also no luck, when I log into www.icloud.com with my account, my address book is also empty.
    What must I do now? Why on earth Apple allow a software to wipe all the data (in my case - my contacts) from the user's phone without providing a convenience way to backup in a user friendly manner?

    Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.

  • All info lost after update, please help.

    So I updated my phone a few nights ago and it went fairly smoothly. It dropped my apps, but that was easily fixed by going to the app store and just redownloading them all.
    Tonight, I went to update my wife's phone. I first synced it so it would make a backup of everything on it. Started the update and it dropped everything from her phone (contacts, pics, apps, matter of fact, its like its a brand new phone...) So I thought to myself, no biggie, I'll just restore it.
    Now, I use the same computer for my wife and I's phones. I went to restore her phone and it only has restore points for my phone. Is there anything I'm missing? As many husband's out there probably know, this is going to be a fun conversation to have with my wife that I lost everything on her phone (albeit not my fault but that really doesn't matter).
    Please, please, please someone let me know if there is anything I can do to restore her phone before this update threatens a wife's wrath being brought upon a husband just trying to make her phone faster.
    Thanks.

    Even if it told me it was creating a backup? I can understand that apple doesnt care too much about multiple people using one computer (hope you caught the sarcasm), but if it told me it was creating a packup, shouldnt it have legitimately created one? It doesnt even show one in the restore from log.

  • All contacts lost after Syncing with Outlook (Windows)

    Hi folks,
    i had sorted out all of my wifes contacts on her iPhone. You know, all had proper phone numbers, street adresses, e-mail adresses and so on.
    Than i wanted to sync them to my Outlook, but i didn't want some old Outlook contacts to get on the phone, so i removed all Outlook contacts from the contacts folder (made a backup, clever me).
    Then i set the iPhone to sync contacts with outlook. iTunes asked if it's allright if more than 5% of my PC contacts are beeing changed, i clicked "Yes", figured the contacts on the phone are whats interesting to me, nevermind the contacts on the pc.
    So here's what itunes did:
    It copied two new contacts from the iphone which previously haven't been on the pc, to the pc and deleted all the rest from the iphone (except the two new).
    Since the iPhone was my only source of the new and improved contacts, all my work that i have put in there (better part of three hours) is gone.
    I am not sure if i should shout, scream or just enter it all again with dignity...
    Is there any way to restore the contacts? Or to prevent something like this from happening again?

    Yep me too. Installed 10.2 onto my Windows 7 PC. Had no issues sycning with Windows Contacts previously, now I can't get them onto my iPhone 4 at all. Tried all the suggestion from Apple Support, still nothing.
    Very unimpressed.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

    Hi,
    May i know how can i get all data back after update ios 6 and all my data lost ?

    You can restore the phone and when prompted to restore choose from icloud account. BUT MAKE SURE there is 1.) an icloud backup for your phone. 2.) you are using the same apple id.
