Contacts missing from Iphone 3GS after syncing

I synced my daughters iphone 3GS and then my iphone 3GS to the same itunes account on my pc. Most of my contacts were gone when I got done syncing but I had my daughters contacts. How do I get my contacts back? Ive synced my phone again to the same pc and it doesn't give me any options to fix my contacts.

I did set all my email contacts to be on the phone, and checked the iCloud. Re-synced the phone with itunes on my macbook. I have turned the phone off and left it turned off for 10 minutes and then turned it back on.
The contacts I am seeking are still missing.
One in particular I know had no email address associated with it.
I'm about ready to quit my iphone.

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud

Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

Contacts missing from iphone and outlook 2010

I have an IPhone 5c running 7.1.2 version and I sync it between my outlook 2010 contacts. I use Windows 8.1 and both my iPhone and laptop use my home wifi. I can add in new contacts to my iPhone and or laptop and they sync fine. Then a few days later the contact is gone. I can tell because when I start to email someone from my iPhone and type in their name the missing contact will come up with the circled I (more info) and ask me if I want to add it as a new contact. This is very frustrating, I have over 800 contacts all related to business and random contacts just go away. I have turned off icloud sync, turned it back on, refreshed it and nothing works. when it disappears it takes it off of my laptop too...

I did set all my email contacts to be on the phone, and checked the iCloud. Re-synced the phone with itunes on my macbook. I have turned the phone off and left it turned off for 10 minutes and then turned it back on.
The contacts I am seeking are still missing.
One in particular I know had no email address associated with it.

Contacts missing from iphone

I have had this problem before, and was able to solve it before, but this time have tried everything listed in previous forums and nothing is working. Not only are people's names, addresses and phone numbers missing in my contacts, but in my "telephone book" as well. Does anyone have any suggestions, and can clearly point me in the right direction on solving this problem.
Thank you in advance.

How do I transfer contacts/music from Iphone 3GS to Iphone 5?

I have I Tunes, but the back up only transferred my contacts from Outlook.

Connect the old phone to iTunes, do a backup. Connect the new phone to iTunes, restore from backup. See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

ICloud wiped calendars from iPhone - also not syncing contacts

I migrated from mobileme to iCloud - all functions appeared to be ok and syncing between iMac, MacBook Pro and iCloud viewed online via browser.
Mail is syncing with my iPhone and iWork is syncing and working fine.
But it does not appear to be syncing my contacts with the iPhone - I made a couple of minor alterations to contacts as a way of checking - amendments appear on both iMac and MacBook Pro and iCloud in browser, but not on phone
But most importantly - all my calendars have been wiped from my iPhone.
Mail, contactsm calendars, reminders, bookmarks, notes and find my iPhone are all turned on on my iPhone
I have:-
1) Ensured I had a Wi-fi connection
2) turned iPhone off and on again
3) held home and power buttons to reset iPhone
4) turned calenders (and contacts) off in iCloud sync and turned back on again after a few minutes
5) gone to settings for mail,calender, contacts and changed the sync setting from events 3 months back to all events and tried refreshing calendar again.
6) I have checked the iCloud sync settings for calendar and contacts in system preferences on both my iMac and MackBook Pro
7) Have done a full restore of iPhone software
8) gone through 2 - 5 again having done the full restore
9) deleted the account on my iPhone and then re-entered account
10) gone through 2 - 5 again having re-entered account details
Cannot think of anything else I can do - visted local Applestore, but they were unable to help without a Genius Bar appointment which I have for four days time. If anyone can help more immediately than this, then I'd be grateful.
thanks

randers4-
Thank you for all of your help.
But, it's still not working for me.
Firstly I'm new to Icloud. I have a feeling that I am missing something basic between Icloud and Iphone. I am at the point were I'm not even sure what to ask. Sorry for all the "possible" over info, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
Goal:
-Changing from Iphone 3gs to 4s
-Download all info from Icloud to the new 4s
-only 1/2 contacts from 3gs are uploaded to Icloud, hence, 4s doesn't have the contacts
-problem: my computer is so old it (itunes)will no longer sync to either Iphone.
- "Test contact" performed on Iphone 3gs and it did upload to Icloud. So it's on the Icloud website contacts page when I log in.
- I have clicked import SIM contacts and uploaded to Icould. However I'm not sure if it really did it. It did say complete, but who knows.
Iphone 3gs 6.1.2
Groups:
All Exchange √
All Icloud √
Family √
Friends√
Setting> mail contacts calendars>
mail = default Icloud
contacts = default Icloud
Setting > Icloud> = all switched to ON except Notes.
Setting > Icloud> Storage Backup>Manage Storage>Backups>Backup Options = All apps ON, Camera Roll ON---- But no Contacts is there---I find this strange.
About 1/2 of my contacts are missing.
All Exchange contacts are in Icloud
All Friends and Family contacts are in Icloud
If I click on All Icloud the Freinds and Family groups check mark automatically too. So they look to me like they are "under" Icloud All group.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind Regards

I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update. Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone. I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on.
When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook. Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
"The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
Hope this helps

I upgraded to Mt. Lion and now I have duplicates in notes and contacts on my iPhone 3gs. Is this a sync issue? I have 4 e-mail accounts and the iCloud is one of them.

Maybe my title says to much. I have multple contacts, notes, sometimes just two, sometimes 14. I upgraded to Mt. Lion and that may be an issue or maybe syncing is the issue. It is making me crazy/er! I have 4 e-mail contact lists and that may be part of the issue with e-mail but why duplicate notes? I am stumped. Please give your thoughts for a solution. I have deleted the duplicates from iPhone (3gs, iMac, and iPad2).
Thanks,
Jim

I forgot to say that the duplicate entries return after I have deleted them. Strange to me is why do some contacts show up as many as 14 times. I am suspecting that there could be an issue with iCloud or iTunes. Truly a mystery to me for now.

How to transfer contacts from iphone 3gs to iphone 5

How do you transfer and upload contatcts from iphone 3gs ver 5.1.1 to new iphone 5?
Anybody any solutio (s) ?

Transfer music, photos, contacts, SMS and more from one Apple device to another. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS.
Step 2: Connect your current iPhone to iTunes and sync it. Verify that your original iPhone is backed up. For more information on how to do this, see iPhone: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
Step 3: Connect your new iPhone 5 to iTunes (on the same computer you used to back up your current iPhone 3G).
Step 4: iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup or set up your new iPhone as a new phone. When prompted, select the backup of your current iPhone. If iTunes does not prompt you to select a backup to restore when you connect your new iPhone, use iTunes to restore iOS on your new iPhone and try this step again. Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new iPhone, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
Step 5: After iTunes finishes restoring the backup you selected to your new iPhone, the iPhone will restart.
Step 6: When your new iPhone appears again in the iTunes window, select it.
Step 7: Click the tabs (Info, Music, Photos, and so on) and verify or change the items you want to sync.
Step 8: Click Apply to sync your new iPhone 5 with iTunes.
Step 9: Verify that your saved contacts are present on your new iPhone.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.
