Contacts have vanished off phone because I set up iCloud.

Hiya. I set up my iCloud acct today and my "Contacts" have completely vanished and I can't find them anywhere! Have searched support page and user manual to no avail. Please can anyone help?

I was browsing and I saw your post. The way I got my contacts and addresses back was by going to SETTINGS on my iPhone, then to mail, then to my email account and truned all of the settings to ON. I then went to iCloud on my computer, signed in and turned all of the setting to ON. Next, I went to iCloud on my iPhone and turned all of those settings ON. My contacts and addresses reappeared. I had to experiment to get to this solution. The Apple instructions did not explain enough for me to conf
This worked for me, but then again, I tried so many different things, that I may have left something out on how I got iCloud reconfigured to work properly. Good Luck.

    Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • HT204150 My contacts have disappeared off my phone

    My contacts have disappeared when enabling the I cloud. How do I recover them?

    Test to be sure they are still in icloud.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Contacts page.  If gone, then they are really gone.  If not, then my instructions above should bring them back.  You could also scroll to the bottom of that page in Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  Then enter ID and password again to reconnect.  That has to bring them back.

  • My contacts have disappeared off my iphone 5s

    Hi
    My contacts have disappeared from my iphone 5s for no reason and dont know how to get them back, could you please help?

    Are these iCloud contatcs?
    Are all your contacts available when you sign into iCloud.com with your Apple ID from a web browser on your computer?
    If so, you can force a re-push from iCloud.com:
    On your phone: Settings > iCloud > Turn Contacts off > wait fro it to finish then turn them back on.

  • Contacts have vanished

    My wife has an iPhone 4S, which she has never synced to a computer, nor to iCloud. She was at a high school play last night and texted her sister to see where she was sitting. Then she turned off the ringer and put it in her purse. When the play was over she got a text and noticed it was just the number, and didn't have a name with it. Then she discovered all her contacts were missing. Today, she noticed the battery was dying extremely quickly and she's started getting strange texts from people she doesn't know.
    I synced it to my computer to create a backup, but the contacts seem to be gone forever.
    I'm concerned about the strange texts and the quick battery consumption. Is there some way her phone could have been hacked? I've heard of an old SMS hack. It just seems like too much of a coincidence that she would suddenly get texts from a couple of different numbers that she definitely does not know right after the strange disappearance of all her contacts.

    Same thing just happened to me on the same phone!  Someone please help us!!!

  • Used contact categories - now all my contacts have vanished?

    My question has to do with Contacts. This is my first blackberry which I've only had a couple of weeks, I was adding some new contacts and came about an option which enabled me to categories my contacts into 'personal' and 'business'.   I selected personal because the contact I was adding was a personal contact. However, when I now open my contacts from the main menu all of the business contacts I have added to date have disappeared.  I have tried to retrace my steps and undo what I have done but I can't figure out how I have managed to this. I have ‘de-selected’ the personal category in the personal contact I added but all my other contacts are still missing.   I’d appreciate your help. Many thanks in advance.

  • All of my photos have vanished off my iphone, after turning on My Photo Stream. Needless to say I am totally ticked off. Where are my photos?

    The product is my iphone model MC137LL, running iOS 6.0 . The carreir is AT&T 13.0

    WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

  • I can't get my hotmail on my phone anymore after setting up icloud

    I had to get a new iphone 4s and when I went in to set it back up again with icloud my hotmail account somehow got messed up.  I used to get all my mail on my hotmail account, and now I can only get them on my mac, not the phone.  my .me mail shows up on my phone? Something isn't synced right.  I tried to delete and re-add the account to no avail  

    Did you check the box that says 'Synchronize Apps'? This happened to a friend and after she enabled this synchronization she was able to use her apps as she did before.

    No unfortunately you can't use the 3G with iCloud.

  • I have a separate iTunes account then my mom, but some of my contacts transferred to her phone. What's happening?

    My mom just got a new iphone 5. We were looking through her contacts tonight an noticed that some random contacts from my phone made their way onto her phone, and also a ton of emails address and facebook contacts too. We are not sure why a random sampling of my contacts got onto her phone because we have separete accounts from each other. At a certain point in time I did used to have the same account as her. How to I get my information off her phone?

    I understand I can just delete them, but I am not sure how or why certain contacts got on there and how to prevent this in the future. I have an icloud account but i only use it connected to my ITunes account for calendar and email.

  • How can I restore my contacts, when I have two phpnes on one account? In icloud are the contacts of the first phone, and in my computer is the back up of my second phone

    How can I restore my comtacts from pc back up when I do have two phones with one account?the i cloud has contacts from one of the phones, and the pc back up from the other?

    Hi Silky-Milky!
    If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:
