Contacts disappear after updating to IOS 7

Hello,
iam using iphone 4s and after i updated to ios 7 all the contacts has disappear, even if i restore them from the back up or wrote them again the same thing happen always after i period of time.
i had read some topics about the same problem that happened after updating to IOS 5 and 6 but all the solutions didn't worked with my iphone, please i need your help !

I am having same problem and if you loose 450 contacts its maddening enough to consider changing to another platform.
In my case iPhone 4S - problems started after iOS7 update - on the computer all contacts appear under header iCloud (there is no longer an option of "On my Mac" that I seem to remember from earlier times).
My phone cannot access the numbers, do not seem to maintain them on the phone solidly...
Any suggestions?

    Dictation in text message = Does not work

    I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
    I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

  • IPhone 4 apps disappear after updating to iOS 5

    Two people, one of them my sister, has reported that after updating to iOS 5 some of her apps have disappeared from the phone. I had not such thing other than iOS 5 loading all of the ones in my iTunes. Just wondering if this is happening to others too.

    I too spoke to Apple in their store. They also told me it was a unique problem. They said that if it was encrypted and I didn't have the password I would have to start again "/ I have been able to get my contacts, music and apps back but the messages and pictures/videos appear to have gone forever. The advisor told me that the pictures shouldn't even be encrypted and should appear in 'iPod Photo Cache' but that folder hasn't been updated since March! I'm just relieved to have gotten my phone out of configuration mode lol!
    Thanks for the update! :)

  • Purchased ringtones disappeared after update to IOS 8.1.1 on iPhone 5c

    Hello,
    could someone help me? I purchased some ringtones from store a week ago, but after update to IOS 8.1.1 all bought songs disappeared from my iPhone 5c.
    The songs I bought before I visit in store and I can bought and pay it again. Where is the problem?
    Thank you.

    I have same issue.  I have done the checklist from iMore website -- all techniques do not work.  I followed the steps, but the "remove and sync" does not appear.  I also did "restore from backup"; still did not work.  The ringtones were NOT restored on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.1). 
    Apple will have to do another update to fix this issue and refund the purchase.

  • Purchased ringtones and alerts disappeared after updating to iOS 8.2

    since updating to iOS 8.2 purchased alert tones and ringtones have disappeared and following the restore times link does not restore them. Also, cannot update any apps from the App Store. How do I get back my purchased ringtones and alert tones?

    Greetings EmmsieK13,
    It sounds like you were trying to connect to the App Store when there were some system issues.
    You can check the status at
    Apple - Support - System Status
    Note you can scroll back on the Detailed Timeline by clicking the back button to see some previous days.
    Since the systems show they are up now, please try again and see this article for restoring your alert tones and ringtone purchases.
    Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support
    There's a section for "Restore your tones from the iTunes Store".
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Calendar events disappeared after updating to iOS 8.1

    i updated to iOS 8.1 yesterday. I had all my calendar events in my iPhone calendar app and WeekCal app this morning. This afternoon, they disappeared. I checked my iCal on my computer. The events are all there. How do I sync the events. I prefer them to go into WeekCal, but at this point, either is fine.

    Things I have already tried:
    - logging out of itunes, then restarting
    - unlinking the device via the 'view Apple ID' menu
    - updating to iOS 8.1.2
    correction to my original post, it is not all purchased movies and shows it is trying, just 9 specific ones.

  • My messages r disappeared after updated to ios 6 plz hepl me

    Try restarting your iPhone 5 by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Then give it a try.

  • IPhone contacts disappeared after update to 4.1.

    Updated my iPhone 3G to 4.1 a few days ago and now all my contacts have disappeared. I let iTunes backup my phone before the update and I can see the backup in Preferences but how do I use the backup? I'd be very grateful for some help - I recently lost all my mobile me mail and it can't be restored, so I am feeling a bit fed up. Thank you anyone.

    Regardless if you don't have a MobileMe account, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Contacts are also included with your iPhone's backup.
    If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since installing 4.1, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync your iPhone with iTunes before doing so and when prompted to update your iPhone's backup with iTunes after selecting Restore, decline this prompt or your iPhone's backup will be overwritten.

  • HT1937 MY CONTACTACTS DISAPPEARED AFTER UPDATING

    my iphone contact disappeared after updating...what should i do

    I'm not sure why you thought you could get an intelligent answer with your question that provides absolutely no details.
    With what program are you synching your contacts?
    Have you restored from backup?
    Are your contacts on your computer?

  • HT4623 After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,Can anyone help.thanx

    After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,can anyone help

    My suggestion:
    Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
    It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
    After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
    In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
    Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
    1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
    2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
    3.Sync your device again.
    It probably will help you.
    Good Luck

  • After updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    At last, the BEST solution!
    In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
    It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
    Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
    Enable Airplane Mode
    Go to iCloud settings
    Turn on Contacts
    Agree to 'Merge Contact'
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
    Turn off Contacts
    Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
    Disable Airplane Mode
    Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
    Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.

  • HT5704 after updating to ios 6.1.3 seems my factory unlocked 3gs is not working, i cant even restore..the message displayed is "itunes software update server cannot be contacted" 'm using latest itunes with winows xp system...........please please help me

    after updating to ios 6.1.3 seems my factory unlocked 3gs is not working, i cant even restore..the message displayed is "itunes software update server cannot be contacted" 'm using latest itunes with winows xp system...........please please help me

    There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
    They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
    or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
    Those iPhones are NOT locked
    Where did you get your iPhone

  • Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated.  Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.  Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

    Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated.  Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
    Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone.  Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete.  I really don't want to do that again!

    I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

  • After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my 3GS no longer syncs contacts.

    After updating to iOS 5.0.1 my 3GS no longer syncs contacts. I tried it in both directions to no avail. I created a contact on iPhone and then synced with negative results. Then I created a contact on my Mac and synced with negative results. What is up? I've never had any problems with any Apple updates before this!

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.
