Contacts disappeared from phone after iOS 4.2 update

I updated my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 4.2 and after some contacts disappeared from my phone but are still on my computer. I've tried resetting sync history, I even restored the phone and the same contacts still won't show up. I have a PC that runs Windows 7, I've been using it since September and I never had this issue before.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you also try to use the option to replace all contacts on the phone with the ones on the computer during the following sync? You can find this option in the info pane, advanced section.

  • Any idea on why contacts disappear from phone?

    Any idea on why contacts disappeared?

    Because either they were removed from the phone, or you updated and forgot to restore from a backup that had the contacts.
    What did you do just before they disappeared? Any editing of settings, updating, etc?

  • IPhone 4 Severe Battery Draw from 3G after iOS 6.1 update!!

    iPhone 4
    8GB Sprint
    iOS v6.1
    After updating to v6.0, my average battery life was cut by at least 20%.  Very noticeable.  I updated to v6.1 with hopes that this widespread issue was resolved only to find out that if my 3G is turned on, my phone is getting extremely hot and will die from a full charge after three hours.
    Has anyone else ran into this?  I have a colleague with a 4s who is having the same exact issue.
    Cheers

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.

  • Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation

    Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after  maverick installation. What should I do to recover?
    I did try co reinstall windows but it make the installation new (nothing remain from the previous). Old windows partition seems lost.

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

    Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

  • ICloud Contacts disappear from Outlook

    After the ios7 upgrade, my contacts disappear from Outlook.  They are still on iCloud and on my iPhone.
    I have tried the following:
    icloud control panel and unclicking the check box next to contacts and restarting machine and outlook.  Does not bring them back.
    icloud control panel and exiting icloud panel and then restarting machine and then logging back into icloud and reloading contacts.  Brings them back for one session.  Once I exit and get back into Outlook the contacts are goine.
    repairing icloud control panel (uninstalling and reinstalling) and reloading contacts.  Brings them back for one sesson and then disappear again.
    Any ideas.

    Any thoughts on a fix?

  • Cannot connect to FB from "Settings" after IOS 6 - the FB-app works correctly

    Cannot connect to FB from "Settings" after IOS 6 - the FB-app works correctly - but logging in from the settings to be able to "match" my contacts just doesn´t work. It just keeps "porcessing", when I try to login. Any good advice?

    I found a fix. I hope this helps.

  • HT1689 All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.
    The phone strarted "blinking" all of a sudden, and when it returned to normal all contacts were missing.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if I can somehow restore the contacts? (No, I did not syncronize them with my PC or store them online..)
    Thanks!

    I would try a reboot and pray that it helped.  But if you didn't back the phone up to itunes or icloud or if you don't already store your contacts in gmail, then they are probably gone forever.

  • All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch!
    I was not syncing, I don't use the Cloud, I was just checking if i had any messages on Viber...
    All of a sudden, Viber didn't display any names any more, so I checked my contacts, and it just displays that my contacts are empty...
    Is there any way of getting them back?
    Thx for your answers!!
    Peter

    Restore from backup. See the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup
    To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".
