Contact List lost when upgrading to iOS 6

I upgrade my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 this morning and now my phone contact list os completely gone!  It looks like everything else is still there and no other problems, but I have no contacts loaded at all.  Unfortunately, I don't use iTunes as my wife's iphone is synched to that and I never did an iCloud backup.  Any suggestions from anyone (other than telling me to back up from now on)?  I spoke with Apple Care and they could not help restore it.  Any suggestions from Veriozn users?  Thanks!

You can still use iTunes even if your wife uses it but I understand. Next time if you do an update you can back it up on the cloud or tunes.
I didn't backup and I was fine except my apps I need to delete and put back because it kept on saying waiting but when I download a new one it would go right away.

  • How do I remedy lost old burned in CD music onto a cpu lost when upgrading to iOS 7.1?

    I recently and hesistantly upgraded my iphone 4s to the new iOS 7.1  I was nearing maximum capacity on my phone (32g), via indications from itunes and was looking to minimize things I did not need to clean things up and make room for more music.  While I typically upgrade iOS wirelessly, I happened to be tethered to my cpu and in itunes this time and have had a bad result from that process and looking for the easiest and safest way of retrieving the music that shows on my phone as there but un playable.  Somehow while I have successfully created capacity on my phone, my itunes account now shows a significant amount, if not all, of the music I manully burned into my cpu and merged into itunes from my CD collection no longer resides in my itunes account.  Again I see it on my phone under music, butr the text is greyed out and if I click the song it tries to play but then smiply skips through songs with teh same appearance unitl it finds one that I bought from itunes and plays that one?
    How can I re activate or re instate my mysteriously lost or un playable music both on my phone and back into my itunes account with out losing it, or other music for that matter, again or having to manually load it back in (not something I'm likely to do).  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I just wanted to add this information to my post:
    I have purchaed, free and paid, 618 apps.
    In my phone apps to add to my phone when I plug it in my computer only 266 apps show up.
    In my itunes "puerchased list" only 266 show up.
    Thank God I have not updated my ipad. There I went to my "purchased" under the ALL list in the app store and there I do see my 618 apps!
    Where did my other 352 apps go? Which many were paid.
    I want my apps back.
    Thanks,

  • HT1222 does my photos and contacts list erase when i update my iPhone ??

    does my photos and contacts lists erase when i update my iphone (ios update)

    Normally they do not -- but I assume that my photos and contacts can disappear at any time for any reason and act accordingly even when not doing an update. This and other forums have hundreds of posts of lost pictures and lost contacts caused by all sorts of situations and issues.
    In addition to backing up to iCloud or via iTunes, I would recommend that you import the pictures to your computer if you have one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and that you sync your contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

    Do you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
    If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
    * Ctrl+j
    * Tools > Downloads
    * History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
    Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
    Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
    For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
    Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site.

  • Why display hanging and software problem when upgraded to ios 8

    Why display hanging and software problem when upgraded to ios 8

    Hi Redhazel,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where you're experiencing a poor image quality with your iPhone's camera, please follow the troubleshooting below.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • GMAIL Lost after upgrade to IOS 8.3

    I have lost access to my GMAIL accounts after upgrading to IOS 8.3 !
    IOS Settings does not provide me a way to enter a new application password for the account - there is NO PASSWORD box displayed anywhere in the GMAIL configuration. So I tried deleting the account and re-adding it but i get stuck in an endless loop of two-step confirmation and it "appears" to add the account (prompts me for which features - mail, notes, calendar, etc.) but then when all is said and done NO GMAIL ACCOUNT shows up in my list of accounts.  WTH?
    And trying to navigate Apple's support screens has become an exercise in frustration and futility!
    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this mess?

    Just wanted to add to this thread.  I found out that this might be related to using the iCloud Keychain on iOS and with a computer using Mac OS X.  Due to how iCloud Keychain stores all passwords across all synced devices, which can be both iOS devices and Mac OS X computers, the methods for accessing and updating those passwords has changed.  Not sure whether this is intentional by Apple or not, but it seems that the ability to update passwords stored in iCloud Keychain is not something you can do through iOS (or at least, I have not been able to find a way to access the keychain and view/update any of the passwords stored there).
    If you have a computer set up to use iCloud Keychain, you can use the Keychain.app to view/modify any passwords that are stored there, which "should" update the passwords stored on the iOS device, if that keychain item is actually synced to the iCloud Keychain. (Tested this and confirmed)
    The problem appears to arise specifically if you only have one iOS device (or only have iOS devices) using iCloud Keychain.  The option to update passwords seems to be missing.  Not sure it this is new to 8.3, but this is the first time I have run into this problem, and cannot seem to find any reports detailing this problem anywhere else.  In fact, to a greater degree, most articles/sites that discuss the iCloud Keychain only refer to the usernames and passwords stored by Safari, which are not the only passwords and information stored by the iCloud Keychain.  This issue being a prime example.
    I did notice that when re-adding my gmail account using my iPhone, the login page was actually just a webkit presentation of the gmail login page (webkit being the underpinnings of Safari, used for displaying HTML, but not actually the full app or Safari), which is where I entered my username and password, which I am assuming is now stored in my iCloud Keychain.  I even checked in Settings>Safari>Passwords&Autofill>Saved Passwords, and my gmail username and password are NOT listed there, so iCloud Keychain is storing some items somewhere else, which is not accessible by the end user through the UI.

  • Over 1100+ BBM Contacts PIN Missing when upgrading from 9780 to Z10

    Hi
    Please help, I've lost over 1100 BBM Contacts, when upgrading using the Blackberry User ID, and when I reload them on my old 9780, it's not there anymore, these contacts are so important, I collected them for sales for over a year's period, very market specific and high net worth individuals which are very hard to come by.
    now I only got 75 contacts on my Z10
    Chronologies
    At the start, there was 12 categories consisting each 100 contacts on my 9780.
    First I signed in with my blackberry id on my new Z10 and transferring data from the 9780 using Blackberry Link.
    and then it doesnt work, there's only 75 contacts on my z10 (I've used a dakota with the blackberry id before which has BBM 7 installed, and then switched to iPhone when the Dakota was missing, I'm guessing the 75 contacts is from when I used the Dakota)
    and then I wipe out my Z10 with factory reset, I installed BBM 7 on my 9780 in the hope to restore my contacts when it auto updates my blackberry ID.
    again I login with BB ID to my Z10, still got 75 contacts on my Z10, I wipe it clean again.
    then I decided I wanted to revert to an older version of BBM and use local backup on my 9780, so I deleted my BBM 7 from my 9780... and reinstalled it from the Blackberry World...
    And then there was no contacts on my 9780 except for the 75 contacts.
    Is there any way I can restore my 1100 BBM Contacts? I've always set back up remotely when using my 9780 with BBM 6.2
    Thanks, really need it

  • I can't see my contact's image when dialing using ios 7, it's now blurred!  Help!

    Since updating to ios 7, when I dial out, my contact's image would show up on screen.  This made it helpful so I was sure I was calling the right person.  NOW,  it is blurred under the dial pad... can I change the opacity, or fix this some how????  Oh please help.

    I noticed that too. I don't have too many pictures in my contact list. So it really didn't cause too much of an issue for me. I haven't found a way to remove the opacity of the screen. I did notice that the picture now shows up in the favorites list.

  • Web configuration lost when upgrading to advanced server admin

    Hello,
    after setting correctly the basic configuration,and setting the web servives, we did the upgrade to advanced option and then we focues to other apple problems like getting network connection, starting xgrid,etc), and then is when we realized that the web settings, server name, etc were lost when we moved to the advanced server admin.
    grrrrr!
    any idea?
    thanks

    I would most emphatically recommend that you get your boss to sign off on you having no liability nor culpability for any results of work he expects you to do "on the side".
    People study and learn for years - and appropriately so ! - in order to accomplish this kind of work effectively and efficiently.
    If you are learning and have a non-production environment to work with and potentially wipe & reinstall where need be, then by all means, go for it (start learning).
    But otherwise your boss should accept that s/he is getting what they're paying for, and since it is nothing, they should be prepared for that.
    It is neither technically nor professionally advisable to foist a task such as this on someone and expect the result(s) to be that of a trained professional in that field. The fundamental concern is the disconnect there, and the unacceptable risk this situation could put you in, either now or in the future.
    To the matter at hand, I generally recommend strongly against an upgrade, as compared to a (verified good) backup, wipe and reinstall and configure from the outset as "Advanced."
    For computer management, you will want to run your server as an Open Directory Master,
    and as such, you must must must have verified working DNS lookup(s) for your server's FQDN, prior to proceeding with re-installing & reconfiguring it.

  • I currently having problems when dialling with my 4S either from the contacts list, or when using the phone through bluetooth to my in-car system. The phone becomes confused regarding what method / route of connection handsfree, normal use or speaker.

    Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
    What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!
