Contacts app goes directly to "Groups" and I have lost all my contacts? How did that happen and now do I get them back?
I added a contact last night to my contacts list on my iPhone 4S. Today I have no contacts at all. When I select my Contacts app it brings me to a screen that says "Groups". Under that there is only the name of the contact I added last night. I have never synced my iPhone to a computer so they wouldn't be there and I looked in iCloud and the contacts are not there either. Anybody know what happened here and if I can get my contacts back?
Thanks.
I did too is everyone had this problem too?

I updated my iphone yesterday. I have the 4S. I have my daughters and mine contacts now. I don't want hers. How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?
This happens with you are both syncing data such as contacts on your devices with the same iCloud account. This will result in the data being merged and synced back to all connected devices. To correct this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.
To do this, on the device that will be changing iCloud accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud, so the other phone won't be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different ID, then turn data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account. At this point you will have two separate iCloud accounts on each phone with identical data.
Next, you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the unwanted data (for example, deleting her contacts from your iCloud account and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each device and things should now be fixed. -
My messaging,App Store, ITunes icons have totally disappeared, I have tried looking in other folders etc and resetting my homepage however I still cannot seem to find them, any ideas about how I could get them back? ( I phone 4s)
If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

I had a TON of browsing history in those tabs and there is NO WAY I could recreate it all manually. Is there any possibility that FF could get them back even though the "Restore Previous Session" menu option is greyed out? BTW, I've had more hangs and crashes with 8.0.1 than with any previous version of Firefox.
Did that inadvertently (can someone at Mozilla tell me if the download procedure has changed? I only wanted to download the new version, not install it right away, but it got installed with no input from me. I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT. Starting to lose my love of firefox.)
Everything is just GONE. Thanks, firefox team, for nothing. -
I have a ipod nano 5th generation and I just fully synced it with my library. I lost all of the playlists I had on my ipod. I just had those playlists on my ipod and not in my itunes library. I also lost some of my music as well. Is there a way to get all of this back or undo it?
Either call Apple customer services and see if they can replace your original discs,
or buy a copy of iLife '09 or '11 {'11 doesn't include iWeb, I understand} from Amazon MP (etc),
or buy them individually from the App Store {iWeb will not be available on the App Store and nor will iDVD}
If you want the retail disc I'd hurry - Apple no longer sell iLife on disc, and prices are starting to rise on Amazon already. -
I plugged in my iphone to download photos tomy mac and it downloaded 5,000 images which included multiples of my photos, aol home email pages and all other kinds of things that I did not want and don't know where they came from. How do I fix this without spending hours individually deleting pages of stuff?
Restore from your back up that predates this event.

I've been away from home the past year, and thus havent logged into my profile during that time on the family iMac. The other profiles on the iMac are all normal, but while my profile username and avatar were the same, when I log in none of my data is there and it's like logging onto a new profile for the first time. I have a back up of my data, however my main concern is my itunes music as for some reason when I backed it up a year ago, it didnt get most of music. I'd just like to know how this happened and if there's a way of getting my data back. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

A recent download - which I automatically said OK to, has somehow made every image in my library into low res. when I try to use one as a screen saver, it is low res - when I try to print one, it is low res. was this some kind of setup to get me to buy a newer version of iphoto??????
Of course not - in fact it is not something done by iPhoto - it is most likely a user error
What exactly did you do? What did you download? there is nothing in iPhoto that ever changes the resolution of any photo - in fact you can not do it if you want in iPhoto - you have to export photos to a location outside of iPhoto to change the resolution
have you loaded your backup from before you did what ever you did? That is probably the fastest and easiest way to resolve the problem

i updated my phone and have lost all my contacts i have restored and all my apps are back but no contacts! help!
What application were you syncing your contact to before you updated? Check the settings on the info tab and sync them back.
If you were NOT syncing them to an application (Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, Address Book on a Mac), you can try forcing a restore from your backup again. If they don't come back, they are most likely gone. -
I updated my Iphone4 and had the m.calendar app with all of my daily temperatures saved, since the update after even after synching the iphone to itunes I have lost months of tracking I am devastated!! can anyone help get it back
I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me?
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

i changed my app store from canada to india and for that i'd to update my payment option details for app store and was charged with Rs. 60 twice. once the day i added the card details. and then another one 3 days later. why did that happen?
i read soemwhere that it automatically gets credited back within 3-5 working days.
waited for more than 7 days but no credit was given back.
m feeling bad that i got charged without making any purchase.Each time that you add or change the card details on your account (and possibly also if you change your name and address, as the card needs to be registered to the same name and address as on your iTunes account) you will be charged a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that the card is active, but it should disappear within a few days or so (the amount of time that it takes will vary by card issuer) : store holding charge.
Give it a few more days, and if it still hasn't disappeared then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
