Contacts wiped out on iPhone

I have an Iphone 4S running 7.1.1. Just now I lost all my contacts; I have no idea why. The folder says 'no contacts'
My Favorites are all listed just as numbers, no names. Contacts are fine on my iPad Air and macBook Pro.
Any ideas what went wrong and how to get them back?
Thanks
Shelley

I thought I did them on itunes but they are not showing up there either. I wasn't on icloud prior to the update. I tried a restore through itunes and that didn't work. Have been going through the boards trying to find a solution but most answers are to the ios 5 update and are not working for me. I'm beginning to think that I am going to have to do them manually. I don't understand why it wiped out my regular contacts but not the facebook ones.

Contacts wiped out on iphone 5 after ios 6 update, how do I restore.

Help, I stupidly installed the ios 6 update on my iphone 5 without researching it first and now my contacts (except for facebook contacts) got wiped out and my text messages do not tell me who they are coming from. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos, etc. by syncing with iTunes. Is there any way to restore what I had?

I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos when I synced with iTunes. Maybe I clicked the wrong button, but I just wanted to download the photos from my phone to my computer. Is there any way to restore my previous information?

Did you sync to itunes from a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
syncing to itunes doesn't just wipe out all your data.
If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup.

Contacts Completely Wiped Out -- on iPhone and Computer!

My contacts have been completely deleted and I do not know how or why. I have my iPhone sent for Push synchronization and today I went to look up a contact and they are all gone. They are also all gone on my MacBook Pro. I haven't checked my Mac Pro to see if they are there, but since they were all set to sync, I assume they are gone. What could have happened and how do I get them back? Thanks.

When i synced my ipads and iphone all the contacts were wiped out of the devices. Even though the contacts are intact in my Outlook folder.

My contacts wiped out when another phone was added to account

Sister got an iphone and wiped out my contacts when her phone was added to the apple acco

laceyones, that doesn't sound like fun! I have seen this happen before when people share an Apple ID. I would suggest you set your sister up with her own personal Apple ID. In regards to restoring your contacts, restore your contacts from Backup Assistant Plus, if you had them backed up. You could also possibly restore your contacts from your iCloud or iTunes backup.

.me mail wiped out from iPhone. Restore desktop Mail from Time Machine how?

Wife using her iPhone (OS 4.0.2) for some reason choose delete all on the mobile me account, which wiped out all of our old email on our iMac. Very important email from many years !
Fortunately, We are running Time Machine on a NAS, so getting the files back isn't a big deal. What I don't know is what I'm supposed to copy over. If I look at users-->library-->mail-->Mac(username)-->INBOX.imapmbox-->messages.. I can still see all the same messages that are showing up in time machine. Is there another file or trick I need to do for the mail app to get all of these messages back in the inbox and everything back to normal ?
Thanks !

Start Mail and while looking at the mail window, start time machine.
It should come up with the "star field" and you will have all the accounts and mailboxes available as far back as your TM backups go.
From there you can restore your mail.
Cheers

ICloud wiped out my iphone contacts

I decided I didn't want my iPhone contacts and calendar on iCloud and when I tried to erase them from iCloud everything was erased from my phone and Mac too. Is there any way to get them back?

iCloud contacts are stored in iCloud. If you sign out of iCloud (remove the account from your phone) you are asked if you want to keep or delete your contacts from your phone. Which option did you choose?
Deleting the iCloud account does not delete your contacts from iCloud. If you sign back into iCloud all contacts stored there will reappear on your phone.
iCloud is not a separate place for storing duplicated info. It is the master place your contacts and calendars etc are stored and each of your devices/computers uses that master data.

HELP!! Updating to IOS 7 wiped out my iphone. I do have an iCloud and an iTunes account, but the problem is that about 2K photos wouldn't back up to either the iCloud or iTunes without doing some updating. So I did and now I am screwed.

The backups mentioned above only back up NEW photos I took and put them on my cloud. My PC wouldn't recognize my phone without updating to IOS 7. I did some chores and came back to my phone and I have an error message on my iPhone screen. When I log into iTunes, it asks me to restore my phone, but I know that will wipe out the photos for good. Is there any way to get these old pics off my phone before restoring? Very special pics of my little boy on here.

Read this... import photos to your computer...

Download of music keeps saying error 10000, song corrupted but I already had this song on my iphone. Accidently took it off when i syncd new itunes onto my iphone and wiped out my iphone music organization etc.

Hi community,
I recently lost the computer i had my itunes on. I also recently got an iphone. Everything was perfect and set up but then I had to create a new itunes account on my Dell desktop. Anyway, when i created the account and connected my iphone i told me something about my iphone only having what was on my itunes on the computer. I thought that was fine because all of my music is my purchases. But i turns out that a whole chunk of my music wasn't there and my playlists got screwed up. Playlists fine but I went to download the music and every single one of 33 songs says, Cannot download file corrupted, error 10000. Is this a problem with my computer? These files were fine before i connected my iphone to this computer and itunes setup on it. And I have them on my iphone but can't figure out how to move them from recently added to a playlist for running etc. Thank you!

so i went ahead and did a restore from the new PC and then a restore from backup. looks like that fixed everything... a few playlists were messed up and so far as i can tell, maybe just a few minor issues.

Z10 BBM contacts wiped out

BBM on my z10 randomly wiped all of my contacts and history approximately 12 hours ago. I am still connected to my BB ID and everything is working, so I'm unsure what can be done to restore my history/contacts. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is the 2nd major BBM issue I've had since switching to the new device. On February 22nd, I also experienced the forced setup and "temporary server issue" which wouldnt let me restore the service for almost 10 hours. Disappointing delivery on the new device so far.

Have you tried removing the battery to reboot the device? I've seen that a couple of times but a battery pull has always fixed it.

HELP!!!!! Contacts wiped out by OS4 upgrade.

I upgraded to OS4 yesterday and now my contacts are completely empty. I tried to "import SIM Contacts" and there is no longer anything there. I also tried then a "Reset all settings" as suggested, and that did not help. I REALLY need those contacts back. Is there another way to retrieve them that someone can help me with?!?! Please?!?!?!?!

Ok I still need more info from you.
Are the contacts that were lost synced to address book or some other program on your mac? if so, are these contacts still in address book or some other program?
Or were the contacts only made on the phone and never synced to any mac?
Importing SIM contacts is no good to you as the contacts on the phone are not stored on the SIM card.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??
