Entire Contact List Disappears on iPhone 4s/iOS6 and Reappears

After switching to iOS6 my entire Contact List suddenly disappears. Mostly, a few minutes later it re-appears. If it doesn't then I need to disable iCloud Backup and then enable it. The Contacts disappear even when iCloud is disabled. I can't save any updates to Contacts either on iCloud or on iTunes. Any ideas?

This or similar 3rd party software might work.

  • My entire contact list on my iPhone 4S has disappeared

    I've a lot of problems ever since I upgraded to the 7.0 IOS.  Now my entire contact list has disappeared.  I turned off my phone and turned it back on again but all that came back was the email list from Facebook..no phone numbers and not half of my entire list.
    Anybody have any ideas on how to retrieve my contacts?

    Can't be done on the phone with deleting them individually.  You can however download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Open this app, tap the preferences (gear) icon on the bottom right, in the screen that opens scroll to the bottom and tap Remove all contacts.

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

    My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
    I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I  may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
    Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
    I look forward to an early response.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • PSE 8.0 Contact List disappeared

    I use Windows 7 and have installed PSE 8.0. I am also using Windows Live Mail for e-mail. When trying to share photos, PSE has worked until yesterday. The entire contact list has simply disappeared- apparently deleted. Also, now when I am in the Organizer Screen and try to type in a contact, PSE will not accept any contacts.

    Go to:
    Edit > Preferences > Sharing
    Select Adobe E-Mail Service as the client.
    Go to the Share tab in organizer module to test it.
    Wait for verification email.
    Enter verification code (do not copy & paste the code)
    All of the above assumes you are backing up your pics or uploading some of them them to Photoshop.com
    When you share a photo Adobe then sends your email with a thumbnail attachment which does not crash the recipients mail box. The recipient can then click on the thumbnail to see your original photo on-line.
    　 

  • HT5361 How to send a mail to my entire contact list of my Mail app ?

    How to send a mail to my entire contact list of my Mail app ?

    Hello Madhu,
    The only way to send an email without opening a client is: using server-side mail objects invoked by your app.
    This would be the workflow:
    - your user fills in form data (subject, body, mail_to)
    - your application sends form data to a server (via httpservice or webservice or AMF)
    - the server takes care of sending the mail in a way that is transparent to your user
    So: it is not possible to send emails without opening the iPhone client (I think by "outlook" you mean the "mail client" with an Exchange account) for security reasons. You wouldn't want any app to send mails without you pressing "Send" in a known interface.

  • Using Office 2011 on a new Mac. Now I can no longer access my entire contact list clicking TO/CC/BCC.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I am using Office 2011 on a new Mac.  I can no longer access my entire contact list when clicking TO/CC/BCC to select several contacts for sending an email. I am so surprised & disappointed at the many difficulties, conflicts, & lack of features on the Mac (Lion 10.7).

    Hello,
    Are you using Apple Mail or MS Office Outlook for your email program?  It has been a know issue for some time now that MS Office 2011 Outlook does not sync contacts with Apple's Address Book.   This was true under Snow Leopard as well as in Lion.   It worked well when I had Entourage (MS Office 2008) in Snow Leopard but once I switched to Outlook 2011, the sync stopped.  
    Did you just start using Outlook 2011 or has this happened after you move to Lion?  Perhaps you could import your Entourage contacts into Outlook 2011?  
    Please let us know a bit more about your situation.

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
    The iPhone is not a multi-user device.

  • HT201210 did the IOS 7 upgrade. My entire contact list is gone. HELP

    I did tthe IOS 7 upgrade. Yeesterday my entire contact list disapeared. HELP

    Are all your Contacts still present when you go to iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer?
    If so, on your phone, go to
    Settings > iCloud > turn off contacts, delete from phone
    Reset (Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears)
    Turn your contacts back on and give them a second or two to sync

  • Recover my the contact list in my iphone 5

    how can i recover the contact list in my iphone 5

    It depends on where you backed it up!
    If it's in your iCloud account, simply go to Settings > iCloud and make sure you've turned Contacts "On".
    If it's synched to your iTunes on your computer, a resync should restore it.

  • Nokia 3125: contact list disappears suddenly

    in my nokia 3125 contact list disappeared suddenly and now it saves just one contact. pls help

    This is a fix/workaround for that issue.
    If you dont have a gmail account. make one.
    setup itunes to sync contacts to Google.
    run a sync with your iPad on itunes like you normally would. This should fix that problem since the contact entries will be reset and replaced again.

    What you can do is, go to Settings-> facebook-> Your name-> delete account-> delete-> remove facebook info.
    This will remove all the fb contacts. but before you again sign your fb account into your iOS, have the option of contacts set to off.

    Hello Chuck,
    You have  2 options here that I can see. 1 is to restore your iPhone from a backup that would have had to have been created before this happened in iTunes.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If there is not one, then you can see if there are any contacts at www.icloud.com. If so then you can either export the contacts to your computer, and import them to the Contacts app, then sync them over to the iPhone

    Or, setup iCloud on your iPhone and sync them down from the Cloud.
