Contacts crashing after IOS 5 Update

Never had this happen and my iPhone 4 is a year old.  Now the accessing contacts crashes every so often, esp, after a sync.

Ok. So after too much of a fight with the iPhone, here is what i think got back the contacts on my phone.
Step 1: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch off everything.
Step 2: Go back to main setting page.
Step 3: Make sure you see "Inactive" under iCloud.
Step 4: Hit the home button
Step 5: Close iTunes and start it back up.
Step 6: Unplug your iPhone from the computer and plug it back in.
Step 4,5,6 is to make sure you are starting a new session.
Step 7: Sync iTunes.
Step 8: Check your contacts. They should have come back up
Step 9: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch on everything.
Choose the option "merge" when you get it.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

  • IPhone 4 crashing after iOS 6 update (low memory)

    After updating my iOS 6 update on a iPhone 4 the system is crashing every time I use an app. I´ve already tried to reset all apps and it still remais to crash. Have you any idea of what should I do to solve this.

    Hi,
    Try to deactivate the FACEBOOK INTEGRATION (go to settings).. After i removed it to my iphone 4 All apps are now doing fine... No more crashing of apps :-) hope it works for you...
    The problem is with facebook, go to settings / facebook / your user name and delete your account, the do a hard reset (home+power for some seconds).
    dont need to delete the facebook app! just delete your integrate account from settings

  • Many apps crashing after iOS 5 update and more. Think Apple will give me a trade-in?

    I just typed about a thousand words and lost them. I noticed that my owned hardware list hadn't been updated in years and tapped on it.  The back button returned me here and all that was left was the title of the post and the tags. NOTE: SPELL CHECKER DOES NOT WORK IN SAFARI SO THERE WILL BE TYPOS.
    I don't have the strength to type them again. Basically my 64 Gb iPad 1 is unusable in many ways after the update. I have lost too much work and play because of it.  It never gave me any trouble before and if I had the scratch, I would be typing away on an Android tablet right now. Long time user since iPod Touch G1 and have owned too many to list.
    Big one, you can no longer charge with older or 3rd party cables.
    WiFi dropped completely in further corner of the house until I turned on the dynamic indicator for the flaky location system that shows that I'm in every town around me, and some not around me, but not my town.
    Filling in dialogs in Safari is torture, cursor often disappears. Tap around to find it and Safari crashes.
    Key lag at times is so bad it gets a word behind. Scrolling in any app is jittery and jerky at the same time.
    There are so many more. I typedmup 3x more but lost all of it. This thing is so flaky I have been using my HTC EVO more and more and liking it more and more. If it had a min 7" screen there would be no contest.
    I don't want to give up my iPad, but it is always annoying me with its bad behavior, what good is it to me any longer?
    Do you think it is too old to take to the Apple Store and ask for a trade-in? I once toasted a $500 Touch with a firewire sync cable and Apple gave me another, no questions asked. Do you think?
    Just look at all the typos! I am a technical writer and it is embarrassing. Stinky keyslab+dead spell checker makes me look illiterate. Yes, the spell checker is turned on. I have spent many hours in the Settings applet in the last few weeks.

    I have iPhone 4 just updated to IOS 6 as well. App Store App updates are freezing on WIFI. I've twice had to delete the app and re-install. Installs of apps are also failing, causing the app to be unusable. At that point because it is a 'new' install the app can't be deleted. So the app can;t be deleted or installed.
    IOS 6 on iPhone 4 also seems a bit laggy.

  • Contacts missing after IOS 5 update

    I updated my Iphone 4 to the ios 5.  Everthing is there except my contacts.  I checks settings /iCloud and contacts is checked.  I think if I uncheck, my contacts will return?  not sure.  I am afraid to sync again, because I don't want to backup iphone with missing contacts overwriting my last backup etc.
    How can I get my contacts back and sync with the Cloud?
    Help..
    Thanks

  • IPad2 Safari crashed after iOS 5 update

    After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 5, my Safari crashed, at first it worked OK, but once I closed all existing tabs, it freezed, then crashed.
    I clear all the cache, closed the app, and reboot my iPad2 (power + home for 10 seconds), and re-open the Safari, still no luck!!
    It freezes as before, and no response even I try to touch any part of it. Try to launch it by opening a link from email, no luck! Blank screen, then crashed, back to home screen.
    Any suggestion and solution??
    Many many thanks!!!

    Did you try closing Safari before you reset the iPad? Close the app and then clear the cookies and cache again, restart the iPad and see if that helps.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • TS1702 AppStore crashing after iOS 6 Update?

    The AppStore on my IPod Touch 4th Generation, crashes whenever I search for an app or if app information is loading ever since I updated to iOS 6. I need to know how to fix this issue and why it is happening. Thank you

    Known problem. See:

  • Korean Font crash after iOS 7 update

    I reported this problem to iWork two days ago, but no response.  Korean font does not work across all iWork--Pages, Numbers, Keynotes--and on iPad, iPad2, and iPhone4.  It works fine on MacAir, Macbook Pro and iWork beta at icloud.com.  It must be iOS7 conflicts with Korean font in iWork.  I tried device-reset and eraze-and-redownload-iWork--all in vain.  This is most disappointing if not downright irritating.  Please do something to resolve this problem. 

    It drives me crazy also. Use iAwriter app for a temporary. I've used many document apps but most of them had same problem as iWork apps. Juding from the fact that even google docs has same problem, i assume it is iOS 7's general trouble to document apps. But somehow iAwriter does not has those issue at the moment, so i'm only using that one now. Try that one for a moment although it is bit annoying the delay of bug fix. It is such huge falut that never been exist. Typing letter is impossible...? No single one apple staff has tryed typing Korean. That demonstrate a lot of current apple's situation i suppose.

  • HT201210 My iphone 4 crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update

    My iphone 4 (7.1) crashed after iOS 7.1.1 update. iTunes is unable to recover it. Has anyone encountered similar issues?

    Hello Rajesh,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with you iPhone repeatedly becoming unresponsive.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

    after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

    Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
    After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
