Downloaded IOS5 and Lost my contacts

I just downloaded the new IOS5 to my phone and now have no contacts. I have tried turning contacts on in icloud, adding Sim contacts. On my itunes it shows no contacts for some reason. I did download the new version of Itunes before this but have Backed up my iphone numerous times  before but nothing now ?

They will be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.  Sync them back.
If you have failed to sync your contacts regularly, then they are likely gone

  • Just downloaded iCloud and LOST my Contacts.

    Just downloaded iCloud and LOST my Contacts.  When I tried to send a text message from my MacBook Pro, there were almost NO contacts left.  How do I reverse iCloud and get back to my original settings?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Kelly.
    Try deleting the iCloud account from your device and trying again.

  • I upgraded itunes to ios5 and lost my contacts

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to the ios5 opperating system. I have lost all of my contacts that were in the phone. Please help me get them back.

    You have several options:
    1- If you were syncing your contacts with your computer, you can "get them back" by syncing with your computer again.
    2- If you were syncing your contacts using an email services, just connect to that email service (by entering the proper credentials within Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars) and all your contacts will be repopulated.
    3- If you weren't syncing your contacts, your only option is to restore your iPhone from the last backup created just before you upgraded to iOS 5.
    If you can't do any of those things, then your contacts are gone and you can't get them back short of reentering them manually one at a time.

  • I just updated to the IOS5 and lost ALL contacts

    I just upddated to the IOS5 and it told me to transfer my purchases to my itunes, which i did. I then installed IOS5 to my iphone 3gs. And followed the on screen prompts on the phone. But upon Exploring i found ALL my contacts were gone. Any ideas? Did I just lose my contacts forever? Are they on icloud somewhere? Any ideas about recovery? I did save all my pictures and obviously my music and apps are stored on itunes.

    I got them all back . Here's how.
    1. plug in your phone to itunes and wait for it to show up in the devices
    2. right click on your device and click restore from backup.
    3. Ta Da!
    Hope this works. Btw this wont erase the IOS5 software just restore your contacts,notes,and such. IOS5 will remain intact. 

  • I just downloaded Firefox and lost my contact to my gmail account. There seems to be a problem with cookies, but I don't understand what to do

    Do I delete all cookies? I don't understand and I'm scared to try anything in case I loose important data.

    Your contact list doesnt stay saved in your computer, try access your gmail account in other browser, if this happens too the problem maybe isnt with firefox

  • I updated to 8.0.2 and lost my contacts.

    I updated to 8.0.2 and lost my contacts. When I updated last night everything seemed fine and I had my contacts and I think I had them this morning as well. I deactivated my facebook account from my phone this morning and then when I received my first text all my contacts were gone.  If I start a new message and start to type names they appear but once selected and in messages there are no names and my contact book is empty. How do I get my contacts back?

    Photo Stream as an album entity was removed in iOS 8. It is still present, but only as a mechanism to share across devices. I understand it is being reinstated in 8.1.

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

  • Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them

    I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts.  How can I find them?

    There are two likely answers:
    1.  Your iPhone has too much storage being used.  Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
    2.  If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud).  You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now.

  • Downloaded IOS5 and iCloud but pictures taken are not on my iPad or Mac?  What os wrong?

    Downloaded IOS5 and iCloud but pictures taken are not on my iPad or Mac?  What is wrong?

    I found the reason for this and the solution couldn't be simpler. The issue is compatability. So, search for icloud using Windows search on bottom left and right click on it. Go to properties>compatability>Windows 7>apply>ok. do the same for iCloud photos. Then sign out of icloud and sign back in. Presto! You'll notice it will be a lot quicker to load too. After a year trying to figure it out I stumbled on it....It's worked ever since
