BBM Keeps Deleting Contacts

I deleted an important contact by mistake. How can i restore it? My contacts were not backed up

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
When I read your subject line, I was very worried that we may have some system-level issue. Then, when I read the body of your post I realize that this is 100% user error...rather misleading that subject line is, don't you think?
The answer is -- no. Restore requires a data source that was created prior to the problem happening. Since you admit to not taking proper backup precautions, then there is no backup source to be used for a restore. So there is nothing to be done.
Good luck.

Iphone 4s keeps deleting contacts and calendar events

I've had my phone for about 4 months now, and twice within this short time my phone has randomly been fine and then I'll text someone and the next thing I know all my contacts are gone as well as everything put into my calendar. What can I do? I have stuff backed up on iCloud, and I noticed the first time this happened my contact photos eventually came back within a week, but I still had to program all my contacts again so I'd have them. Anyone have any suggestions or know why this might be happening?

Nope, and this isn't the first problem I've been having with this phone. For months now I've been unable to use itunes on my computer to sync with my phone because it keeps coming up as not being able to read it and asking me to reset my phone to factory.

IOS 7 Keeps Deleting Contacts!

I'm not one who normally jumps into forums and posts about problems. Normally, I'm very patient and understanding of glitches and system upgrades. This is the VERY FIRST TIME I've posted in the Apple support forums.
This is VERY VERY VERY frustrating!!! I've had the new iOS 7 installed since the 19th of Sept. Everything was fine until day before yesterday! The functionality of the new iOS is nice, but the look is HORRIBLE in my opinion! It just doesn't look like an Apple device any longer!
Regardless of the look of iOS 7, I plugged my phone into the charger two nights ago, set my alarm and went to sleep. Woke up, all my contacts were gone! GONE!! I didn't DO anything!!!!! 900+ contacts from several years of data!
Rebooted, nothing. Sat at my desk at work, stewing over it and about two hours into my day, they were inexplicably back! Went to sleep last night, woke up this morning, gone again!! Checked all my setttings, everything appears to be as it should be. Got to work, back again, but now I'm missing approximately 300+ contacts of my 900+ total. *** APPLE!!! So much for trusting APPLE devices any longer! This is such crap! Quality control has gone STRAIGHT DOWN THE TUBES!!! I've been with iPhone since the first release and have sworn by it! But, things seem to be getting worse and worse! What a CROCK!!! Yeah, I backup, but that's not the point! This is a problem!
We pay WAY too much money to be dealing with such problems! 3 iPhones in my household , 3 iPods and an iPad, along with full service through AT&T (since day one)! I WILL WALK AWAY from my contract (regardless of cost) if problems like this don't stop! Once I leave, Apple, I WON'T be back!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!! Steve J. would be appalled at how POORLY things are going! Yes, I pulled the Steve J card because I truly believe his legacy is falling apart! Look at the complaints! I will NOT be taking any steps to purchase any new Apple devices for the foreseeable future! iPhone 5 can kiss off! I was thinking about a new Mac, but not any longer!
If I wanted reliability issues, I would have purchased a MICROSOFT centric device! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED LONG TERM CUSTOMER AND SOON TO BE EX-FAN!

This morning my contacts dissapeared and i discoverd it when i reached my work and wanted to call my wife to tell i arrived i do this becous i live in Iraq. Now my wifes number is not the biggest issue, but if i get in need to call some of the life lines i have here in case of any trouble, i vould have been in derp **** this morning. I have lost all relyability to Appel and wont ever buy an apple Iphone again, and i never use to be cheap when i buy appel products.
Now this morning i arrived safe and sound and i whent direcly in here when i reached wifi but found no solution. How ever i started playing around, restarting but no luck. I then whent to icloud settings and merged the contacts but still no luck, so i swiched the contacts of in i cloud again and what do you know 30 min later my contacts were there again.
Dont rely on your iphone keep you important contacts in your Nokia 3310 ;)
Im sorry about all the misspels i hope i made sence

Phone keeps deleting contacts.

I have an iPhone 4 (without the latest iOS update), and I keep having issues where while using different apps, my phone just suddenly closes them unprovoked. When I turn the phone off and on to fix that, my contacts disappear. Is there a fix for this or should I bring it in? Thank you!

Help! My deleted contacts keep re-appearing...

Hi,
My brother gave me his BB 8900. I've deleted his contacts every way I know how, and his contacts keep re-appearing on the phone.
1. I've deleted the contacts through the Desktop software
2. I've a clean list of my contacts on Gmail and Yahoo address book for syncing.
3. I've deleted my bro's contacts on the back-up folder contacts.
4. I've no entries in my SIM Phone Book.
5. I set the Address Book Wireless Synchronization field to No.
I get to the point where everything looks clean on handheld and phone ... and 30 minutes later the unconnected phone has somehow restored the (600) deleted contacts into the address book
Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks.

Interesting. A clean start could help because I don't know whats causing it. You've done some good troubleshooting so far.
I recommend wiping the device so you can setup from scratch. This guarantees nothing from your brothers settings remain.

How do i keep my contacts if i delete my icloud account from my phone?

i am trying to delete my icloud account from my phone but how do i keep my contacts? my broher is on the same icloud account how do i get his contacts off of my phone

First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information.

Deleting Contacts on phone (but keep them on my mac)

Is there a way to delete contacts on my iPhone but keep them on my Mac (Macbook Pro) or vise versa. I use iCloud, so Im not sure. Some people I no longer need to contact via phone, but would still like to keep their contact info, in case I ever need to contact them.

Drag them to your "on my mac' group in address book, contacts in this group won't sync with iCloud.

My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

Well, if you no longer sync contacts with iCloud, that means that anyone else using your Apple ID for iCloud will no longer have access to your contacts.

A deleted contact keeps popping up when I compose an email

I have deleted a contact on my bb and my outlook. Wheni compose an email the first two letters of his email pop up.
Exmaple. in the compose an email field I want to write an email to GD-George Dunn so i type GD and the email address of a deleted contact Gemma Dirosso ([email protected]) pops up first. I had deleted her on my bb and outlook yet only her email address pops up. So i cannot find her on my contacts, so by rights her email info should be gone but it isn't. so i cannot delete it as it is no where to be found on my bb and outlook
Any body have any ideas??

Why does my iPod keep deleteing my contacts

My iPod keeps deleting my contacts

Does any body else have access to your iCloud account since they can be deleted by going to icloud.com on a computer browser, signing in and deleting them.
