Disappear and Re-appear Act

I have a iPhone (new model) and just downloaded the latest 2.2.1 update.
This morning my contacts (all of them) just disappeared! Then after turning the device on and off I saw an "emergency number" message that went no place. Turned off and on the device again. Then the contacts and groups re-appeared!
However, I am concerned about this "magical" process. I am going on a trip and don't want to have dead iphone with me. This process did not impact function of the device.
Anyone else experience this and if so, what was it?
Thanks,
Bob

I would say maybe you should do a restore on your phone but make sure all your contacts are sync'd to outlook or your e-mail client first. make sure you also do a backup of your device through iTunes. Then do restore I would and hope and pray the contacts stay after that

  • Why do my recent phone contacts keep disappearing and re-appearing?

    I recently bought an iPhone 4S and synced my contacts from my previous smart phone.
    Now, the contacts I add get saved, but they keep disappearing and re-appearing automatically. This has been happening for almost a month now.
    It is very embarassing when my new Manager calls up and I ask who he is.
    Please help.

    So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
    This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
    I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

  • Disappearing and Re-Appearing Dock

    I have a Macbook Pro that runs 10.4.11.
    I just installed several updates last night including some sort of security patch and new version of iTunes and ever since then, my Mac has been randomly freezing with the hourglass icon (rainbow disk keeps spinning indefinitely) and the dock disappearing and re-appearing at variable intervals.
    I have already restarted the computer a few times, but the problem persists.
    I don't have the OS disks with me at the moment, since I am out of town.
    Are there any other known workarounds?
    Thanks, in advance.

    Hi,
    I attempted the Disk Utility Repair but it did not work.
    So I disabled the application 'StickyWindows' and this resolved the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Image icon on internal frame disappearing and re-appearing

    I have just upgraded to jdk 1.4.1-b21 from 1.4.0_01-b03 and have noticed that after adding an Internal Frame to a desktop and moving the mouse over the image icon in the left hand corner the image disappears. The image re-appears again, once I presume, when the desktop and its frames are repainted.
    Is this a bug or has something changed between the two jdk's.
    Thanks.
    Steve.

  • Mail disappears and re-appears in inbox, drafts and sent not working

    I'm doing some troubleshooting for my Mum. She's running Mail under Tiger, and she's been reporting that some times she opens up Mail, and all her mail is missing, but if she tries again later, then it might re-appear. It happens to different mailboxes, but mostly the Inbox. It's an IMAP account, but the problem is definately not that (I've actually changed the mail account hosting, and it's made no difference).
    On what I assume is related, and mail she sends, does not appear in the Sent mailbox (it sends fine), and drafts don't save at all.
    The only issue I can think of is the way Mail was put on this iMac. Basically it was my sisters iMac, which she passed on to my Mum when she got a new MacBook. She passed it on, already running Tiger, but for some unknown reason, she had deleted Mail from the Mac. I put it back on, by using a the setup disc for my own iMac (both PowerPC) - and extracting Mail 2.0 using Pacifist, which I then just copied across to the the Applications folder. Could this be the origin of the flakey mailboxes? And if so, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    she had deleted Mail from the Mac. I put it back on, by using a the setup
    disc for my own iMac (both PowerPC) - and extracting Mail 2.0 using Pacifist
    Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s the cause of the problem. Mail 2.0 is the version that came with Mac OS X 10.4.0. You haven’t said what’s the version of Mac OS X running on your Mum’s computer, but the version of Mail on a PowerPC-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is what your profile says you have, should be at least 2.1 (2.1.2 if you installed the latest Security Update)...
    You should be able to fix the problem by reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X she’s using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PowerPC)
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)
    After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    Additionally, if she had installed any Security Updates released afterwards that included updates for Mail, you’ll have to reinstall that as well:
    About Security Update 2007-009
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 PowerPC)
    Security Update 2007-009 (10.4.11 Universal)
    You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Graphics on web pages disappear and text appears jumbled up on page. Have tried resetting FF and removing & reinstalling FF, both with no effect. Fix?

    Issue occurs with at no particular time. Repeatedly happens on Weather Underground (www.wunderground.com), sometimes on MLB.com and one occurrence with Facebook.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Finder keeps on dissapearing and re-appearing

    I am having weird issues with my finder icon in the dock.
    When I start up my machine and click the finder icon in the dock. The finder opens up and then disappears, And begins to continuosly disappear and re-appear endlessly. I tried re-installing my system software, and preserved the user settings, but this did not seem to help the situation at all.
    Any suggestions?

    Reinstall your system software and don't preserve the user settings. The way you did it, you are simply retaining the problematic files. The idea is to move them out of the way.
    Alternatively, try this: make a new user (using the Accounts pane and your mighty administrative powers), and log in as that user. If the Finder is not crashing there, migrate your stuff into that user.
    The third possibility is that you could try to figure out what file is actually causing the problem. But this is actually much more work than the other two. Bad Contextual Menu Items, or StuffIt, are common culprits, but if no such solution suggests itself, the other solutions are easier.

  • The volume bar on my iPod touch 4g keeps disappearing on re-appearing, can someone help me?

    The volume bar keeps disappearing and re-appearing, when it disappears and cant listen to music or videos, even when i plug in my headphones, if the volume bar disapears it eont re-appear, it disappears and re-appears by it-self.

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore the iPod from backup

  • My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?

    My safari menu bar is missing.  The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?  Thanks. 

    I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to.  I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
    I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
    And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

  • Agent disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months.

    We had a server (Windows server 2003 64 bit) which was installed and was working fine. Suddenly it disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months. We noticed it only when it came to pending management that the server disappeared
    from Agents managed TAB. When we checked the server and found that SCOM was uninstalled or disappeared or what ever. We re installed SCOM now and now from past 1 week we see that the agent is fine.
    We are using SCOM 2007R2 CU4 in our environment.
    I want to know the reason for this. Post installation of SCOM after this incident we checked the event logs and found the data for the last working of SCOM in that server and found the below events. I was not able to get that much old data in the SCOM Management
    server. But got the data from the Agent.

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, that you re-installed your SCOM, and now everything works fine. You want to know that why your SCOM run into problem 6 months before, right?
    According to the event logs in your agent, we could not tell what happened to your Operation manager. What I can see is that the management group was removed from the agent then. And there are some errors when moniored by the former management group.
    I would like to suggest you check out what actions have you do on your former management group 6 months before. Maybe we can check the operation manager logs on your management server.
    Regards,
    Yan Li

    deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random

    I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
    I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
    Come on Apple, fix this.

    4) the dock disappears and reappears on its own even though "hide the dock" is not checked
