Contacts have automatically deleted

All of a sudden some of my contacts have automatically deleted my phone and a lot of contacts name are gone, it is just the number which is there, i have a 4S model, how do i resolve this issue

BEFORE you go restoring backups, try this instead:
Go to Settings > iCloud. Verify that you are logged in with your correct Apple ID. Make sure Contacts are turned ON.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Do you have any other mail accounts? If so, add them to the iPhone, and make sure Contacts is turned ON for each.
Go to Contacts > Groups. Make sure all groups are ON. Refresh the contacts by dragging down on the groups screen.
Go to the home screen. Close all the running apps (double tap Home Button, swipe up on all apps.)
Restart the device.
Go to Contacts. See if the contacts are back.

My contacts have been deleted automatically

my contacts have been deleted automatically how can I recover them? I have finished restoring my backup files from my itunes then seconds pass my contacts will be automatically deleted.

Dont bother posting to this one. I have checked plenty of other posts and there are millions of them. The basic problem is that apple don't seem to understand the meaning of sync. Sync usually means the meshing of two databases so that they match, instead this band of half witted, jean wearing, morons decided that the software should basically default to deleting one database and replacing it with another.
In every other post the answer always given is gee why didn't you have a back up, that's why I was trying to sync in the first place you dim witted moron.
ITunes *** the big one and is obviously there solely to lock people in and sell, sell, sell! This seems to be the apple mantra.

HT1766 all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program ( outlook, address book, etc) that you have been synxing. Sync them back.
If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.

All of my mobile contacts have been deleted, how do i get them back?

If you have a backup that contained the deleted data then restore from that otherwise they are gone

What do you do if contacts are automatically deleted from the iphone

all my contacts have been automatically deleted from my iphone. what can i do to get them back?

Lol no , don't own anything to sync with . Use my iPhone as a phone mostly , don't know why cos its not even good at that!! Have maybe downloaded 6 or 7 apps since I got it , I delete all mail from unknown in case of virus so don't think that's the problem. Opened iCloud account an hour ago because someone said they could be in there !! Haha think that's maybe not how it works .i have a yahoo email but never put any phone numbers there. I still have phone numbers from twenty years ago after having many phones ,have only lost the ones from the So called " Smart phone" !! Not too feckin smart if you ask me !! Think I will try the rock idea !! Thanks anyway Rojmer

Why my contacts have been deleted

This morning all my contacts had been deleted from my iPhone why did that happen and how can I get my contacts back on my phone.

Where do you backup your contacts?
If to iCloud, is there another device sharing your Apple iCloud ID? If there is, anything done to contacts by the other device will be synced to your iPhone contacts. The same is true of anything done to contacts by a computer on icloud.com. Go to icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are still there.
If you back them up to a computer through iTunes, then you can recover your contacts by re-syncing them from your computer to your iPhone.

I reinstalled whatsapp and now i cannot access my online/last online info, i know my contacts have not deleted me.

What sort of visa card is it, debit or credit ? Debit cards don't appear to still be accepted in all countries (and even where they are it seems that not all are accepted).
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
Do you have a different card that you could try, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country (they are not available in all and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue) ? If gift cards are available then you could potentially use them as your payment method.

All of my calendar items and contacts have been deleted. How do I recover them?

Please help me recover calendar appointments and contacts

If you have a backup that contained the deleted data then restore from that otherwise they are gone

Automatic deletion of texts in iMessage

I have an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iOS 5. I have noticed that as I send/receive a new iMessage or SMS with a friend on iOS 5, an older text with the same contact is automatically deleted. The automatic deletion of older texts seems to only affect contacts who have switched to iOS 5 (iMessage). I have about 20 GB space left on the phone so it's not a storage issue. I've talked to my carrier (AT&T) and Apple Support. No one seems to know what is going on. Can anyone please help?

The archives in streams are deleted by Rman. This process is driven by the value of 'CHECKPOINT_RETENTION_TIME', whose default value is 60 and should always be set to 1, unless you have a good reason to not do so.
This parameter, that can bee seen in DBA_CAPTURE, tells Rman how much additional days Rman needs to keep archives AFTER they are not needed anymore.
Rman never deletes an archive if it is still needed by a subscriber ( to a queue - aka one capture process).
execute dbms_capture_adm.alter_capture(capture_name=> 'MY_CAPTURE_NAME' , checkpoint_retention_time=> 1 );I have no clue as of why the Dev team decided that archives not needed anymore will be purged by default 60 days after. Maybe that days they smoked the carpet.

I've given my sister my old phone but where she has gone to deleted contacts and pics of photo stream they have then automatically deleted on my recent phone... HELP ME!!

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iPhone 5c... My sister is planing to have my old 4s but we have gone to delete stuff eg contacts but those contact have then automatically deleted of my iPhone 5c ... I'm not sure if this is to do with the same icloud account being on both phones..
I have backed up iPhone 5c on the computer and have backed up iPhone 4S but not sure if backing up the 4s made a difference. I am then worried that if I delete the iCloud of the 4s it will then delete all my stuff of iCloud and of my 5c
When I got the iPhone 5c I used EE clone phone app so not sure if that has affected all this
Please help
Thanks
Hope all the correct info is there

TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Best way to automatically delete multiple duplicate contacts?

I had Mobile Me go nuts on me a few weeks ago and took my 1,000+ contacts and duplicated them with every sync up to 16,400 before I caught it and shut it down.
This happened to my iCal appointments as well, but there is a simple application out there that allows duplicate entries to be automatically deleted.
Anyone know how to do this with AddressBook? I really don't have time to go through 16,400 entries and confirm each one before deleting them!!

Best is to not get them - how did you end up with duplicates?
A good solution is Duplicate annilator

Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

You posted this in the BlackBerry space, so I am assuming you have a BlackBerry of some sort... if you've used desktop manager or BB Protect or another backup application, then you can retrieve contacts from the most recent backup.
Otherwise, you may be out of luck, unless their information is in your recent call list, or recent texts.
I use BB Protect to make automatic backups of my data each week, (with no interaction needed by me, it just happens) so if something goes crazy, I have, at most, a week's worth of new stuff to enter. BB Desktop manager also makes backups, manually - you need to connect the phone to your computer via USB and make a backup, or restore from a backup.

After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account. Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones. If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.
