All my contacts have just disappeared. what should i do?

All my contacts have disappeared off my phone- i have synced with my macbook but they havent come back- help!

I had this same problem.  I called Apple and they have not been helpful.  They haven't even said anything about their server but I think its the case.  It happened to me twice.  On 1/16/13 and then again 1/23/13 when the first issue hadn't yet been resolved.  Any idea who I can ask for at Apple to get this resolved?

  • All my contacts have just disappeared from my iphone 5c

    as it says, I just went to send a text message and noticed all my contacts are just numbers, went into my contacts and there are no contacts there at all, I have not used iCloud nor have I synced my phone with itunes previously, so do this mean they have all just gone! I hope note as I rely on it for my business contacts, I couldn't sync with iCloud because my MacBook Pro is 10.6 so I can't get the app, don't understand whats going on and panicking! They were there this morning and since then I haven't updated my phone or done anything out of the norm. Any help please!
    Thank you

    Click on the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner of the desktop. Select "About this Mac" and it will tell you which operating system you are using. It is a moot point now since it would seem you are not using Time Machine. If you are on Leopard (10.5.x) as your signature indicates then I highly recommend you get Time Machine up and running so that you can recover from such emergencies that you are now faced with. If you are still on Tiger (10.4.x) then upgrade to Leopard and get Time Machine working for you. It has saved me several times already and is worth the price of the upgrade by itself.

  • All my contacts have just gone on my iPhone?

    All my contacts have disappeeared from my iPhone. How do I get them back?

    Re-sync them from whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to.

  • Contacts have just disappeared

    I don't know what has happened but one minute my contacts were in my address book and the next minute I go to phone someone and I have no contacts. 
    My icloud contact sync is off, and I desperately need to know how to get my contacts back.  It's happened to me once before but I can't remember how I got them back, I remember it had something to do with the calendar maybe, but even so I haven't messed with any settings and it's super frustrating that the contacts just disappear whenever they feel like it.

    Thanks so much, funny thing when I went back into my contacts now to try that they all appeared again.......... So frustrating but thanks a mil will def keep it in mind if and when it happens again

  • My contacts have just totally disappeared. Can anyone help please.?

    My contacts have just totally disappeared. Can anyone help please.?  I'm using iPhone 4S

    If you have itunes on pc or icloud than i think your contacts should be there.
    Have you tried to sync to itunes (make sure to check Sync Contacts and all contact options on itunes info tab), activate the icloud account on your iphone's contact option and show all contacts on groups tab on iphone's contact app?
    I experienced the same problem and this helped me.

  • My iPhone 4s has the latest OS update and this morning for no reason all my contacts have disappeared.  Is there a fix or reason for this?

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • I just purchased a secondhand iPad in carboot and I didn't realised that the old account is still linked to the device now can't  activate my accnt.i don't know where  and how to contact the original owner.what should I do?is there any other option?

    I just purchased a second hand iPad in carboot.i didn't realised that the old accnt is still linked to the device,now I icant activate my account .I don't  know where and how to contact the original owner.what should I do activate my accnt?is there any other option?

    Apple cannot help you locate the original owner. If you have no way to contact him/her, and you purchased directly from the seller rather than through a site that offers buyer protection, then the iPad is useless to you and you have wasted your money. The iPad is quite probably stolen and you should turn it in to the police.
    This is why it's very risky and usually unwise to purchase out of a car boot from someone you don't know.

  • Hiii  suddenly every thing on my ipod touch 4 (applications, contacts,photos .....) were disappeared what should I do???

    (applications, contacts,photos .....) were disappeared what should I do???

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • HT4859 I updated my iPhone 4 to 0sx6 and uploaded to the cloud.  Now all my contacts have been lost.  What to do?

    I updated my iPhone 4 to OSX6 and uploaded to the cloud.  Now all my contacts are lost.  What to do?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device:
