Contacts Missing, Contacts Missing data, Email missing since 2.0 & MM

I've labored all day trying to get proper syncing accomplished. I thought my last effort at syncing was succesfull, hence I replied & answered my last post on this issue. Having done many erasing of contacts from MM, getting the sync pref. correct from computer to MM etc. I am missing contacts on Mobile Me from the computer sync. I have contacts that are incomplete on MM but fine on my computer. All my emails from my .Mac account were deleted except for one upon the MM upgrade. I have 200+ extra contacts on my iPhone then on my computer and MM. The emails were since deleted off of my iPhone from the .mac account too. Do we need to make any adjustments to the old .Mac acct on the iPhone when the MM was upgraded? I know many of us are having difficulties so if you have had this problem or similar ones please post your thoughts. Thanks,

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hello Shravanthi,
Have you looked at the screen in the screen painter in ERP (transaction SE51)? Maybe this will give you a clue to what data is missing.
Kind regards,

Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
Device: Apple iPhone 4
Carrier: AT&T
Country / Language: USA English
OS: iOS 4

I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

Contacts entered on iPhone 4s suddenly missing, present on iCloud - how to recover?

Wife's iPhone 4s has out-of-date Yahoo contacts, but is suddenly missing all of the contact information she has entered on the iPhone itself.
iCloud sync is currently disabled - apparently by default when upgraded to iOS 7? - but when we login to iCloud, most or all of the contacts she entered are available. (Latest sync w iCloud may be a couple of months ago; latest sync with iTunes on Macbook Pro was over 2 years ago, so no joy there.)
How to safely recover contacts from iCloud back to iPhone, without resetting iPhone?
Concerns:
(1) Clearly if we reset the iPhone, it would restore from iCloud - but would also lose text conversations, at least the ones that happened since the last sync.
(2) If we simply re-enable iCloud sync, will missing contacts be copied from iCloud to phone? or will they instead be deleted from iCloud, because they were seemingly "removed" from phone after latest sync?
(3) Do we need to delete all contacts from phone, then enable iCloud sync? But see concern #2! - and also, will deleting Yahoo contacts from phone delete them from Yahoo too?
Any advice or procedural pointers greatly appreciated - thanks!

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

TS1347 IPhone5 on 6.1.4 - missing named contacts on contact list. Can see missing named contacts when messaging, but when selected come up as only phone numbers in the sent to window. What is resolution? Can I sync only contact list from to iTunes backup?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

TS3991 Missing Contacts?

My iPhone and iPad are missing contacts that are in iCloud and on my MacBook Pro. I "Reset Documents & Data" per instructions on iCloud to no avail. Can you help?

Sounds like you have some contacts in the From My Mac groups that are not in iCloud; they may have been synced to your phone at some point. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Delete from My iPhone. Then check you contacts to confirm that some are still there. If so, check a few against your contacts on icloud.com to confirm they are not on icloud.com.
If you still have contacts on your phone that are not on icloud.com at this point you can add them to iCloud by doing the following:
If you haven't already done so, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone.
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If there are 500+ contacts remaining on your phone you will need the Pro version.) Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email and send it to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and confirm this is still set to iCloud.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the On My Mac groups to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm that they appear there.
If the On My Mac contacts are still on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone. Open the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear-shaped icon the bottom right. In the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back on. The duplicate contacts from the On My Mac groups should now be gone from your phone and they should all be in iCloud.

Mail and Address Book Missing contacts after importing a VCard

Okay, I don't know precisely when this happened, but I guess it might have happened when I upgraded to Leopard. I rarely used Address Book, but I would add contacts of some of my friends to in every now and then from Mail. Right click on the address in Mail and select "Add to Address Book".
Immediately after upgrading to Leopard I had received a massive VCard from my coworkers, which I promptly added to my Address Book. Weeks later I'm digging around in Address Book and I see only about 10% of my old addresses. ***?!
Stranger, when I go back to Mail and go to Window>Previous Recipients, among the long list of emails there, it shows that the emails that I had long ago added to Address Book ARE indeed in Address Book.
So, three questions:
• Where did my old Address Book contacts go?
• Why does Previous Recipients list my missing contacts as being in Address Book when Address Book itself doesn't show them?
• How can I get the contacts that Previous Recipients sees to appear in Address Book again?

"The ones with the v-card icon are already supposed to be in addressbook, and so, the button goes gray."
Yah. But they don't appear in Address Book anymore.
Something I noticed, in Users>Home>Library>Application Support>Address Book there is "AddressBook.data" and "AddressBook.data.previous". Might the ".previous" version be where my old contacts are residing? Might there be a way to pry them out and merge them into the other file?
Hmm.

you are sending From:
Contact: "
,as the contact, towards your SIP voice gateway. I dont know where that comes from but 092004131 is definitely not a Melbourne number (strip the 0 off).
There is a contact in there twice, with two IP addresses, the original one from avaya is:

HT204150 missing contacts in the cloud backup

Iphone has 232 contacts, Cloud backed up 20? Cloud is set up, sync is set up Push is on?? Ordered new Iphone 5 when it comes I need all 232 contacts? help???

Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
NOTE: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

Missing contact information

Has anybody encountered this problem. I am missing entire fields of information from many of my contacts on my mac runnning Mountain Lion. On most of the missing items I am only getting their name and company with the rest of the information blank. You cannot even go to edit and reenter, as the field will not come up.
When I go and look at my contacts in iCloud, all of the data is there.
I have tried turning off contacts and letting iCloud delete all of the icloud contacts off the Mac, and then turning it on again, which reimports. Same problem with no change. The same contacts are missing the same data.
This is global on all my computers running Mountain Lion. I have not encountered this in Lion.
Anyone know whats up or what to do to fix?

I have found the reason why about half of my contacts are missing all fields except name, title and company (the ones at the very top).
It's because they have "United States of America" in the Country field (automatically entered by Outlook and probably the old Mac Address Book App, too). This is the correct name of our country, Apple programmers!! It IS NOT 'United States", which is what is in their new drop-down list of countries. Apparently, if your country is not in their list, you won't be able to see any data for that person!
So I had to go thru my whole address book and change the country name in order to see my contacts.
The way I did it was I logged into icloud.com, clicked on Contacts, searched for "of America" and changed them all to "United States". At the same time, I had my local Contacts open and I watched them populate as I changed each country field.
Try just changing one, and then look at your local Contacts (if it's syncing with iCloud). It will magically populate all fields.
I know that MacWorld put out an article on how to REPLACE ALL INSTANCES of something in Contacts, but I don't know where that is. I'm sure you could go to their website and find it.
Hopefully, they won't change it back and still require us to choose from the list of country names! Then I'll have to change them all back.
I had a similar problem in Snow Leopard with those same contacts, only I could see all fields except the address fields. Lion fixed the problem. Then Mountain Lion brought it back with a vengeance!

If you are missing contacts on your Pre that are present in GMail...

I had two problems when I first got my Pre on release day. Multiple contacts "nesting" and missing contacts (not brought over from my GMail Contacts). Recently I had a reboot issue following 1.3.5 and 1.3.5.1 updates to WebOS. Palm had me run WebOS Doctor and that wiped all my info. When I came back into WebOS my two email accounts, contacts and calendar did not work. I was able to remove the emails and rebuild them back to working order. When I tried to log into contacts or calendar (GMail) all I got was a spinning circle and "Logging in". After completely removing and re-entering contacts and calendar I got all of my calendar and what looked like 20 of my 392 contacts to come into the Pre. After examination I noticed two nested (Pre calls them linked) contacts. Inside a single contact were 25 others. I am not aware of a batch file to do this so I clicked on the linked contacts icon (top right corner) and 25 times I selected "unlink". When All were unlinked (including another cache) I now had 85 of my 392 contacts. I then called Palm and got level one (of whom had never heard of this issue!!) and after an hour was given level two. I had previously spoken to Dev techs about this back when the phone was released and had not yet heard of a solution. After a lot of wrangling with level two the tech asked me if I have any contacts that begin with "special characters". I first said, "No". Then I asked if a number is considered a special character? I removed the first three of my 392 contacts as they started with a number and WHAM! ALL of my remaining contacts came screaming into my Pre!! I find it hard to believe that the WebOS is so unyielding as to not accept a contact named "800 number for Palm" or "1922 Peachtree RD" but if you want all of your GMail contacts to sync to your Pre make sure all names begin with ONLY a through z.

I am not aware of a batch file to do this so I clicked on the linked contacts icon (top right corner) and 25 times I selected "unlink". When All were unlinked (including another cache) I now had 85 of my 392 contacts. I then called Palm and got level one (of whom had never heard of this issue!!) and after an hour was given level two. I had previously spoken to Dev techs about this back when the phone was released and had not yet heard of a solution. After a lot of wrangling with level two the tech asked me if I have any contacts that begin with "special characters". I first said, "No". Then I asked if a number is considered a special character? I removed the first three of my 392 contacts as they started with a number and WHAM! ALL of my remaining contacts came screaming into my Pre!! I find it hard to believe that the WebOS is so unyielding as to not accept a contact named "800 number for Palm" or "1922 Peachtree RD" but if you want all of your GMail contacts to sync to your Pre make sure all names begin with ONLY a through z.

ITunes & iOS 5 Upgrades-missing backups, missing contact info

Using Windows XP, upgraded iTunes to 10.5.0.142 couple of days ago, then iOS 5 yesterday. When I installed iOS 5, it didn't reload my apps AND was missing any contact data beyond 2 phone numbers. In iTunes and on my pc \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup I only had 1 backup from yesterday (the day I upgraded) and it didn't inlcude my last iOS4 backup either. I had sync'd multiple times last week as I was adding contacts. WHERE DID THEY GO?
Also missing contact phone numbers where I had more than 2 phone numbers. Noticed in my Favorites that some were numbers and also tried other 'fixes' mentioned elsewhere like just editing one contact or importing SIM data -- none worked. I have been using iDrive Lite so I can recover some, but ***? Don't know what else is missing.
And, apps didn't restore at all. Have to redownload all, but at least app data seems to have been preserved. What's going on???

I have solved it by unchecking (momentaneously till apple fix it) the "Convert higher bit rate songs" option.
I know that it need more space but i don't have too much music synced so.. it isn't a problem for me..
I have this problem because i'm using the "manually manage music and videos", i'm not using the auto sync option because iTunes always try to copy my new apps to my mac even having that option unchecked...
Now we have iCloud... i don't know why apple still have not deleted this feature!
Anyway... i have solved it momentaneously.
Apple.... come on!

Missing Contacts, Found if Dialed

On my iPhone 4, when I search for some contacts that I had previously stored, or type part of their name, they do not show.
If I dial the complete contact's number and call, it will resolve and show the name, so I know the contact is in there.
I have a few email account, gmail, yahoo and iCloud. I had an Exchange account, then removed it. I added the yahoo last, not sure if either of those did anything.
I tried to troubleshoot. I went to settings, ... Contacts ..., the default account is "from my PC". I changed it to iCloud, the other option, no change.
Why is this happening and can I recover these "missing" contacts?

when you go to your contacts, hit groups and make sure that all contacts is selected, as for getting them synced to the computer, Im still trying to figure this out.. i hope this helps

My husband has a 4s. He hadn't synced phone in a long time. I did the sync on his ipad first, then i phone. am now missing contacts from iphone. any way to restore back to the way it was b4 I performed sync?

My husband has a 4S. He hadn't performed a sync in a long time. I sync'd his I Pad first, then the I Phone. His I Phone is now missing quite a few of his contacts. Any way to retrieve?

If the iPad and iPhone contacts are being synced with the same supported address book app on the computer, they should now be the same on each device.
Is Sync Contacts selected under the Info tab for the iPad and iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Which supported address book app on the computer are contacts being synced with?
Are the missing contacts available in the supported address book app on the computer?
