Contacts keep vanishing

I am having the same problem EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE UPGRADING FROM IPHONE 4S TO IPHONE 5S 64GB. 
Few facts:
-I don't use icloud
-I haven't backed up my phone since I purchased it
It first happened when I restored my new phone. The first two times at the same exact time it seemed around 7pm i lost my contacts. they never came back. I had to do a restore.
Now, throughout the day, evenings i lose my contacts, i go to favorites it still shows numbers, contacts is empty, i flip back and forth a few times on those two tabs and names start to come back in the favorites. few minutes they start to come back, not at all once, few at a time and sometimes the ones that come back go back away for others but after about 10 minutes or so id say they all come back EXCEPT NEW contacts, street addresses, modifications I make to contacts.
Can anyone help?
Anyone else having the same problem?

Hard to say.
Do you sync your contacts from a mail account or possibly iCloud? If so, would it be possible you're sharing an iCloud account with anyone?

  • Office Start Menu Shortcuts Keep Vanishing!

    I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office 2013 Professional with all current updates installed.  I prefer to run with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook on the 'Start Menu' and until recently, this has been working fine.  For the last couple
    of weeks however the shortcuts for Word, Excel and Powerpoint keep vanishing!  Strangely, the Outlook shortcut always remains!  I can go to the all programs display, select them and use 'Pin to Start' and they obligingly appear, I move them into
    the correct group, they stay there for a while and then vanish!  It has even done it in front of my eyes!  The Start Menu appeared to slide off to the right and then slide back.  When it slid back into view, they were gone!
    Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any idea what the problem may be?

    Hi,
    Was your computer in a Domain?
    Please check if there is any schedule or GP to regularity reset Start screen layout.
    Also, consider the corrupted user profile issue, you can check whether this issue also happened on another user account.
    This issue can also be caused by corrupted system components, you can try to use this command to restore healthy:
    Please make sure to run CMD as Administrator:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Update this thread after you check my suggestions.

    If you are that unhappy then I highly recommend doing what you suggested....  rather than just talking about doing so in a User Supported forum... as frankly there is no one here, to whom such a decision, would matter.

  • Birth dates for contacts keep changing

    I have this weird situation where the birthdates of my contacts keep changing. I noticed this a while back and reset them all, and today I noticed they have changed again. A contact whose birthday is say the 24th of a given month is now displayed as the 22nd. My time zone setting in System Preferences still remains the same - Pacific Daylight - Vancouver, Canada. Anyone got ideas on this?
    Thanks
    Bren.

    Just looked at my iCal and noticed someone's birthday was wrong by a day, so I checked the Address Book contact and sure enough, the birth date has changed again. Could this now be back-loading from my Mobile Me account? Would the answer be to delete the library file again, and reset the sync to Mobile Me from my laptop to make sure that file is current too? The worst part about this is I'll need to get in touch with a lot of people to confirm their birthdays as Address Book has changed it more than once.

  • Wounded Veteran. My notes, Favorites and most of my contacts keep disappearing! Help!!

    I have the iPhone 4S and ever since I downloaded the iOS7 my phone has not worked well.  My contacts keep disappering, same with my notes and I need my notes to help remember.  Other times I'll be watching a video and the volume will just stop working.  Sometimes, apps will just freeze up when I'm using them or the phone will just freeze up.  However, the biggest problem is the disappearing contacts and notes.  I need both of them and when I need them they always seem to disapear. Please Help!

    it would be better for you to speak with iTunes Store support. They will need to  ask you questions so this issue can be sorted out immediately.

  • HT1386 My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

    My contacts keep deleting themselves and syncing with someone else?

    Well, if you no longer sync contacts with iCloud, that means that anyone else using your Apple ID for iCloud will no longer have access to your contacts.

  • Help! My deleted contacts keep re-appearing...

    Hi,
    My brother gave me his BB 8900. I've deleted his contacts every way I know how, and his contacts keep re-appearing on the phone.
    1. I've deleted the contacts through the Desktop software
    2. I've a clean list of my contacts on Gmail and Yahoo address book for syncing.
    3. I've deleted my bro's contacts on the back-up folder contacts.
    4. I've no entries in my SIM Phone Book.
    5. I set the Address Book Wireless Synchronization field to No.
    I get to the point where everything looks clean on handheld and phone ... and 30 minutes later the unconnected phone has somehow restored the (600) deleted contacts into the address book
    Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks.

    Interesting. A clean start could help because I don't know whats causing it.  You've done some good troubleshooting so far.
    I recommend wiping the device so you can setup from scratch.  This guarantees nothing from your brothers settings remain.

  • Tabs keep vanishing

    I hate FF4 (so far). I liked the old tab system. This "App Tab" thing is horrible and they are slowing down my system. Also, they keep vanishing and I have to keep redoing them. The previous 3.x version of FF always remembered the tabs. And these new "App Tab" things are much more... hmmm... what's the word... alive? The old tabs loaded with whatever URL you had used. These new "App Tabs" WHEN THEY ARE THERE, change to whereabouts on the website you are. I hate this, too.
    Ultimately, though, the main problem is these horrible, tiny, vanishing tabs. I want tabs which stay!

    Might be corrupted Safari preferences ..
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    You need to be using the same icloud account on both devices if you want your data synced between them.

    why dont you put all of your contacts on your sim card ? then if they do get wiped then you can transfer them from your sim to your phone but this is just a way to speed up the process
    Not possible.
    The iPhone does not save contact information on the sim card.

  • Why do contacts keep duplicating in my address book?

    why do contacts keep duplicating in my address book?
    i started to download maverick, paused, then finished, decided i didn't want it and deleted it from applications.
    meanwhile my address book listings within each group are duplicating, the names are being deleted, and i am left with a list of some emails and some names within each group.  i have tried to correct them one by one but they revert to the email or duplicate.
