Contacts missing after IOS 5 update

I updated my Iphone 4 to the ios 5.  Everthing is there except my contacts.  I checks settings /iCloud and contacts is checked.  I think if I uncheck, my contacts will return?  not sure.  I am afraid to sync again, because I don't want to backup iphone with missing contacts overwriting my last backup etc.
How can I get my contacts back and sync with the Cloud?
Help..
Thanks

Ok. So after too much of a fight with the iPhone, here is what i think got back the contacts on my phone.
Step 1: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch off everything.
Step 2: Go back to main setting page.
Step 3: Make sure you see "Inactive" under iCloud.
Step 4: Hit the home button
Step 5: Close iTunes and start it back up.
Step 6: Unplug your iPhone from the computer and plug it back in.
Step 4,5,6 is to make sure you are starting a new session.
Step 7: Sync iTunes.
Step 8: Check your contacts. They should have come back up
Step 9: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch on everything.
Choose the option "merge" when you get it.

  • 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????

  • Videos icons missing after ios 8 update

    Hi! So after the ios 8 update, the icons in the official video app have a computer with a house inside instead of the nice picture they had. Some still have the same icon.
    How to fix this?
    thanks

    I have this same problem with a few home videos on both my iPhone and iPad. It's the same five videos on both. After upgrading to iOS 8 on both devices, the icons disappeared. I'm searching for a solution.

  • My App store icon is missing after ios 7 update.

    I updated to ios 7 and now my App Store icon is missing.  There is one page that only has one icon on it, so I am not sure if other stuff is missing too.  Other problems I have had:
    All of my contacts disappearing and then reappearing.
    My privacy settings for photos being changed
    not able to add events to my calendar
    When I search for something in safari, I click on a result and it will not open the link.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

  • OMG HELP!! CONTACTS MISSING (after prompted "wireless update")

    a few months ago i was promted to do a 'wireless update', and a new 'wireless update' icon appeared on my menu.  i ignored it until yesterday and decided it couldnt hurt to 'update' something...... WRONG.... after the 2 hour or so 'updating' looked like everything was pretty reset, all my icons in different locations, homescreen was default.  I also noticed that NONE of my address book contacts were there.  BBM contacts were, but no address book... ive searched the internet for solutions and have found none, nor have i even found any of this same issue....
    If this 'update' deletes all contacts for some reason... shouldnt that be made pretty clear before allowing you to 'update'??? PoFS.... HELP PLEASE or i'll be short a 'smart' phone by the end of the week!! thanks!!

    Hi, and thank you for the response.  I know now that i should have done a back-up... too little too late, as they say.... But i am sure now, after checking, that there are no filters set for the address book.  Under my 'recent calls' list, for the calls that were made prior to the update, it still shows the names of my contacts (with numbers), and will call them from that list.. but still no address book entries, and as i checked the "number of entries" in the options menu for the address book, it states there are "0".  and also still shows exceptions for the ring tones under those names..... "BRILLIANT" is all i can think of right now... so much for 'smart'phone....

    my iphone 4 issues are as follow after ios 5 update:

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
