Contacts lost post iOS 8.1.2 upgrade

Majority of my contacts on my iPhone 6 have disappeared after upgrading to IOS 8.1.2, and have been replaced with some other random contact details, with unknown mobile and email addresses.  As I'm using iCloud to Sync my contacts, so my Mac Mini (OS X Mavericks) , iPod touch (IOS 8.1.2) and iPad 2 (IOS 8.1.2) have had their contacts updated to the new random list.
1. How can I recover my original contacts prior to the IOS 8.1.2 upgrade?
2. Is this a known bug with IOS 8.1.2, or has my iCloud account been hacked?

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

  • HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

    I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8).  I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
    I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
    If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

    I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups.  I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc.  So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

  • Post IOS 7 and app upgrades, "jittery" scrolling

    Ipad3 has lost smooth scrolling in aps and browser since I upgrades some common aps and installed ios7.0.2 last  night.  Rapidly scrolling up and down,  there is up and down jitter or "snagging" of the scrolling screen. It's subtle but uncomfortable to view,  since it's "bouncing" and no longer smooth. It happens with all scrolling aps, like iBooks or pinterest! and in the safari web browser.  Is there any solution?  Known cause?   Have others experienced this jittery scrolling?

    Thank you for that suggestion;  however, I already have that turned on, as I found the parallax is really obnoxious  when using the ipad (as opposed to the phone).
    The jitter is new since putting iOS 7.0.2 on last night.  There are other scrolling bugs in iBooks...sometimes it will not  fast- scroll at all.  When it does, it snags and jitters. 

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!

  • My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2

    My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2, someone with the same problem? Just think when I enable the 3G, soon followed falls again.
    I have already put another chip carrier and the same problem happens, my phone is factory unlocked.

    Had same problem with iphone5 6.1.2 update. First tried reset network settings and didn work... Support recommend me a restore and ended up in recovery loop with iTunes error (-1)
    Been at my carrier store (Optimus Portugal)... and iPhone sent to warranty. After 2 macbooks, 1 imac, 2 appletvs, 2 iphones, 1 ipod... I find disappointment with apple reliability....
    At least the support guys at Optimus Portugal were very helpful and friendly, but I'll be 15 days without iPhone...

  • Lost all my contacts on i4 , the same day I upgraded Outlook for Mac

    i lost all of my i4 contacts today. it happened soon after tI upgraded my Outlook for Mac to 14.1.4

    If you have your contacts in Outlook or Address Book you should be able to sync them back.  If you only had them on your phone, and if you backed up your iPhone by syncing with iTunes before you went to the Apple store, you might be able to extract your contacts from this old backup using 3rd party software such as: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/.

    After iOS 8 update on iPhone 5C some album art lost - now running 8.0.2 still same issue- all music from iTunes Store.
    I have reset the Phone - not sure what more I can do.

    You are not alone:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Battery is draining twice in a day on iPhone 4S post iOS 7.1 upgrade

    Battery is draining twice in a day on iPhone 4S post iOS 7.1 upgrade

    I'm having a similar issue with my 4s. I did the update yesterday, restoring as a new phone. That afternoon, immediately after finishing the update, the battery was draining at about 1% a minute, with the only usage being listening to an audio book through my bluetooth headset for about 15 minutes, and simply carrying it in my purse for about 30 minutes.
    I tweaked all the usual battery maximizing settings, charged it back to 100% and it was behaving normally the rest of the evening. I did not charge overnight, and it was at 47% this morning -- typical for when I forget to put on airplane mode and it spends the night searching in vain for a cell signal.
    While driving to an appointment I charged it on my car charger. It got to 97%. While waiting at my appointment for ~ an hour I listened to an audiobook through the headseat and played a couple of games. Battery got down to 5% in that time, and the phone was hot. Not excessively so, I don't think, but definitely way above normal.
    Given that I installed the 7.1 update by restoring as a new phone from the get-go, would your recommend I do it over, or try something else?
    Thanks.

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

    How can I edit or delete a custom label in the contacts list on iOS 7 on iPhone 4S ?

    I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
    IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
    IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
    But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
    I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
    I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

  • IOS 5.0.1 upgrade on iPhone 3GS,

    Prior to iOS 5.0.1 upgrade on iPhone 3GS, I could readily connect to and use a variety of wireless networks at home, work, and on road.
    Since installing the upgrade as prompted on device, I find WiFi is unstable to unusable.
    Unless the device is sitting practically on top of a router, I cannot maintain connections.
    If I am more than 2 ft out of direct line of sught of router, I lose my connection.
    I have to date read and completed the following online suggestions with no success:
    1-Restarted router - NO CHANGE
    2-Reset Network Settings on device - NO CHANGE
    3-Toggled in and out of Airplane mode - NO CHANGE
    4-Completed various options for start/restart of device - NO CHANGE
    5-Disabled all other services using battery at same time (Bluetooth/Location Services, Mail, Reduced Backlight even) - NO CHANGE
    6-Forgotten prior networks - NO CHANGE
    7-Attempted to assign Static IP to device on router side - NO CHANGE
    8-Restored from backup - NO CHANGE
    8a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    9-Restored to Factory state - NO CHANGE
    9a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    10-Changed Router security from OPEN to most SECURE - NO CHANGE
    10a-Repeat 1-6 again - NO CHANGE
    11-Setup new router - NO CHANGE
    11a-Repeat 1-6 and 10 again - NO CHANGE
    During all of this multiple iOS 4.x devices and iOS 5.0 devices have been on the routers connecting as always.
    The device in question functioned perfectly up to the point of iOS 5.0.1 so I know this is not a iPHONE hardware issue nor is it a ROUTER hardware issue.
    I have seen this posted frequently and do not believe this to be an isolated state I am in.
    Any thoughts and suggestions before moving to another manufacturer all together and get out of this Apple mindset.

    Nothing personal (or maybe just a little personal), but simply copying my post from a day earlier as your own is not helpful to the Apple communities or people that coming here looking for support.
    It does nothing more than add a duplicate post and decrease the chances that someone might actually include a reference to my original post, which came from MY OWN HARD WORK in troubleshooting my issues.
    If you are having a similar issue, post the issue after doing your own leg work and describe in your own words.  Don't simple steal someone else's hard work to troubleshoot the problem as your own effort.

  • Contacts lost all data suddenly.

    My Contacts lost all data suddenly today. I upgraded to 10.8.2 this afternoon. Could that have caused it?  Can I do to retrieve my data?

    I found the hidden data file but get messge "There is no application set to open the document "AddressBook.data." and I have not been able to choose one that works.
    My latest attempt was to go to ~library/Application Support/addressbook. Instuctions said to remove "AddressBook.data" and "AddressBook.data.previous" to another spot for safety, then copy "AddressBook.data.previous" back into the file.  Nothing happened. 
    Any other ideas?

    Since iOS 7.0.4 upgrade Mail freezes daily mid-sentence on my iPad Mini. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hello henkeblomqvist,
    Congratulations on youre new iPad mini, and thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iPad.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:
