IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!
iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!
Hi Bob,
I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
**********DON'T DO IT***********
Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
Good luck!!!!
Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
Plug iPhone into Computer
Launch iTunes
After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
Let the iPhone restore completely
DO NOT CONNECT TO iCLOUD -

ive lost all my contacts after updating to 5.1, then i restored and now ive lost everything
Check for locally created backups on your PC using the free version of the iPhone Backup Extractor software. Then just retrieve your data and import it back to your iPhone. Cheers!

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?
The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
I updated my iphone 4s to get iclouds and lost all my contacts. When I tried to sync my phone to itunes, it said I needed to update my itunes for it to work on my phone. There was no place to update so I installed itunes again. Still no contacts !!!! I've tried all the troubleshooting and still can't get them. They are not in www.icloud.com either. Help!!!!!!
iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me?
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

I just updated my Iphone 4s to the new operating system but lost ALL MY CONTACTS on my phone. The contact list on my phone is completely blank. PLEASE HELP!
Hello 6underwood,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
Best of luck,

I updated to the new software today and now in having several problems! Lost all my contacts. Anytime I try and back up to iCloud it says it can't be complete and now I get a cannot connect to store message. Help!
Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

Please help!! I lost all my contacts on iphone after I sync'd
hey guys,
This afternoon I sync'd my phone to move some new downloaded songs, I pulled my phone off the docking station and I lost all my contacts.
please tell me they are somewhere in itunes. I have no idea how to move them back.
anyone have any ideas.Hello miwung,
roaminggnome is correct in that you should be syncing your contacts with whatever contact management software you are using on your computer.
You can sync contacts with Windows Contacts, which comes pre-installed with Vista.
To sync both contacts and calendars you'll need either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. All of these programs need to be opened and setup (at least create one contact) prior to syncing per:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1347
If the contact information is in one of those programs, the content should be synced back to the iPhone the next time you sync.
If you weren't syncing to one of those programs. It is possible that the contacts may be in your iTunes backup.
If you haven't tried another sync since you noticed the issue, leave the iPhone disconnected from the PC for now.
Open iTunes.
Open Preferences from the Edit Menu.
Click on the Devices tab.
Check the list of backups. If there is one there that corresponds to the time when you last synced with your contacts on the iPhone, and the sync was not interrupted in progress, it may contain the contacts.
If you tried reconnecting and re-syncing after you noticed the contacts issue, the backup may not contain any recoverable data.
While you're in the Preferences, put a check in the "Disable Automatic syncing for iPods and iPhones."
Connect the iPhone.
Right-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Restore from Backup."
If the contacts are restored, make sure you sync them to a contact management program from now on -- and you may want to check with that program's website on how to backup the data in the program as well.
Good Luck,

I lost all my contacts. some please help
Please I need some help. I lost all my contacts. How can I get them back
Hello,
What version of OSX, or is this just on the iPhone? -
i updated my phone and have lost all my contacts i have restored and all my apps are back but no contacts! help!
What application were you syncing your contact to before you updated? Check the settings on the info tab and sync them back.
If you were NOT syncing them to an application (Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, Address Book on a Mac), you can try forcing a restore from your backup again. If they don't come back, they are most likely gone.
