All my contacts disappear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what happend ?
can i restore all my contacts ?
help me pleaseeee
pc   Windows XP Pro  

I got up this morning to see if maybe it re-appeared during the night. . .
Nope.
I have a .mac account, and I was able to sync to my idisk and get an old version of my address book- but still, I've lost a bit (I've now set up the .mac sync to go automatically, once weekly, to keep it more up to date should this happen again).
Yup- I'd definitely back up the old address book somewhere, and not just on the computer you're syncing to. That was so weird. The contacts were there when I started out to the airport last night, and sitting, waiting, watching "Monk" on the iPhone- I got a call. When I went to call my husband, all the contacts just vanished. Numbers were there, in 'favorites', but no names, info- same with 'recents'. And all my contact info- pics, emails, addresses- gone.
When I went to sync later (and, I thought it synced together?), everything was gone. . . from the computer, and the iPhone.

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.

  • HT1386 After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.  Need help!!

    After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.

    You don't.
    You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
    And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

  • I synched my iPhone and all my contacts disappeared

    I have been using Outlook for my contacts with GMail as my mail providor (I have a lot of different email addresses all going in to the one inbox) for a long time and suddenly one day, all my contact disappeared off my iphone - now when I go in to Settings for the GMail account, Contacts is not an option for synching.

    You should have an option to select gmail for contact sync in iTunes no matter what. its part of the programming in itunes. Might want to reinstall itune again if this is not a option.

  • HT1689 All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.
    The phone strarted "blinking" all of a sudden, and when it returned to normal all contacts were missing.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if I can somehow restore the contacts? (No, I did not syncronize them with my PC or store them online..)
    Thanks!

    I would try a reboot and pray that it helped.  But if you didn't back the phone up to itunes or icloud or if you don't already store your contacts in gmail, then they are probably gone forever.

  • All my contacts disappeared - Anyone else seen this?

    I had a scare the other day when all my contacts disappeared. I tried to call someone and I had NO contacts. I quickly logged into Mobile Me and saw my contacts still there so at least I knew that it wasn't a problem with the syncing server. After a couple of minutes, the contacts all showed back up. This happened in the same day that my phone crashed for no reason. After holding the power and home buttons down for a couple of minutes, I was able to bring it back. I wonder if there is some random silliness going on in this phone's hardware or software.

    I had something of the sort happen the first time it synced with Mobile Me, but not since.

  • All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch!
    I was not syncing, I don't use the Cloud, I was just checking if i had any messages on Viber...
    All of a sudden, Viber didn't display any names any more, so I checked my contacts, and it just displays that my contacts are empty...
    Is there any way of getting them back?
    Thx for your answers!!

    Restore from backup. See the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup
    To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • HT1222 When I updated my iphone through itunes with 5.0 software, all my contacts disappeared.  This never happened before with updates.  How can I get them back.

    Why did I loose my contacts when I updated by iphone with 5.0?

    A number of reasons can be addressed. Did you sync your contacts over to the supported application on the computer, or into iCloud? If so, then just sync them back.
    Not all contact information is includded in the backup. If you have iCloud turned on, then turn it off and back on again. See if that helps.

  • HT201210 All my contacts disappeared...and my phone was sync 'ing' for over 1 1/2hours this morning and nothing was changing...

    my phone is acting up.....have lost contacts for second time in two months, also when I take a picture it goes black and back to 'homescreen'....
    I had my phone hooked to computer this morning sync 'ing' for over 1 1/2hours.......

    If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
    You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
    You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
