Half of my contacts were deleted when I updated to 5.1

When I updated my phone (1st gen moto x) nearly half of my contacts got deleted. I don't know how to get them back. I know I either saved my contacts to my gmail or at&t address book. I tried to find them on either of those accounts but I found nothing. I contacted motorola and they told me to delete my gmail account from my phone and clear my cache partition, but that didn't help. I also went to the at&t store but they were no help. How can I get my contacts back?

Not only did I lose my contacts, I now can no longer text pictures. There are only instructional "how-tos" in the Repair and Resolve tool here. i have tried clearing the cache with no resolution. Any help would be appreciated.

    Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone.  I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts"  Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go. 
    Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone. 

    I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

  • Some of my contacts were deleted upon setting up iCloud

    set it up on my Macbook first, then my phone. When I went back into my phone just a bit later, some of my contacts were deleted, alot of them only have a Facebook email, birthday and Facebook IM left, no phone #'s or any other info I might have had. Again, if they weren't Facebook friends, they didn't get altered. Just seeing if there is a way to get all my #'s back? Thanks

    Check under Settings > iCloud to see if the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, switch it off for 30-60 seconds, then back on again. Your contacts should start showing up shortly.

  • While updating to to 2.0 my contacts were deleted

    my contacts were deleted after i downloaded 2.0.. any one have this problem, if so is there away to get them back. i did not have them backed up as far as i know...any suggestions please...

    Hi bmfowler,
    bookmarks are linked to your profile (irrespective of what FF version you are currently on) this profile should be left intact by an upgrade/downgrade.
    First thing I would do would to be run -> %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ (standard profile location) to figure out whether the old profile (with the bookmarks) is still available. If so proceed with the

    Hope it helps.

    like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

    Sync them back to the device from the supported application on the computer that you are using. That would be either Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook, iCloud or other cloud service. That is done either through iTunes, or iCloud.

    All my calendar events were deleted when I clicked iCloud in settings. How do I get them back?

    I think I was syncing... I just flipped that switch to the right and it "turned on calendar" but when I went to my calendar everything was gone.
    When I go back now it doesn't do anything.

  • I changed my ID and all my contacts were deleted

    I changed my ID and all my contacts were deleted?

    Change your appleID back to the previous ID you used, and they should come back.  If you want to remove that ID and switch back, make sure you choose the option to "Keep the contacts on the iPhone/iPad/iPod".

  • All my apps were deleted when i downloaded ios7

    All my apps were deleted when I downloaded the IOS7 update.  I can open them from the apps icon but they do not show up on my screen.  HELP!

    i just answered another question with the same problem...
    anyway, try sync you iphone with itunes
    if that doesn`t work, try retreiving all your shops in itunes (file>dispositives> retrieve your shops) - my itunes is in portuguese, i actually don`t know exactly the words of the menu, but if you try u can find it
    if none of that works, try logging out of your itunes account on your phone... after that log in again, and try to download the apps you have purchased.
    none of that works, try restoring it with a previous backup, if it doesn`t work, do it from scratch!

  • HT1222 does my photos and contacts list erase when i update my iPhone ??

    does my photos and contacts lists erase when i update my iphone (ios update)

    Normally they do not -- but I assume that my photos and contacts can disappear at any time for any reason and act accordingly even when not doing an update. This and other forums have hundreds of posts of lost pictures and lost contacts caused by all sorts of situations and issues.
    In addition to backing up to iCloud or via iTunes, I would recommend that you import the pictures to your computer if you have one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and that you sync your contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • HT1349 some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    Some of my songs got deleted when i updated my ipod

    This is rediculous!!! What type of "UPDATE" erases EVERYTHING when it fails?????? I just "Updated" my iTouch, it couldn't backup because I don't have 60 Gigs on my computer (and I'm sure no one else in MAC land does either! ) It updated the software, i gues failed... looked like it worked, then said it's returning to factory settings, found an old back up from three onths ago, then wiped my iTouch IN THAT ORDER. Oh, well my name is still on the iTouch. THANKS APPLE FOR NOTHING!
    Are they going to recover my iTouch's data?????? This is rediculous!!! What lousy software iTunes is with lousy programmers making it!

  • My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    Her contacts would be wherever she put them
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

    just got an iPad 2 and neither Keynote nor Pages were compatible. when I updated iOS as requisited, the backup from iTunes didn't work. the iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. what do I do?

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • How to avoid contact person deletion when partner function is assigned

    Hi All.
    I need your help for a contact person issue.
    I'd like to avoid a contact person relationship to be deleted when this contact person is assigned to one or more partner functions for any customer's sales area. In ECC I can't delete a contact person that is been used as a partner function in customer's sales data (KNVP). The system shows message F2 189. But it seems not to be the same in CRM as I'm able to delete this contact person relationship despite he's been used as a customer's partner function. Furthermore, when the contact person is deleted in CRM, no upload to ECC occurs, I mean, the contact person is still "alive" in ECC and linked to the customer.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks, Prasenjit.
    Yes, we're using Web UI, so I'll try to check the partner function assignment as you told me.
    No problem regarding the concepts of contact person deletion and contact person relationship deletion, I know the difference. What I meant was that you can delete a contact person relationship in CRM (not the contact person itself but the relationship) and this relationship is not deleted en ERP due to the fact that this contact person is used as a partner function in the customer sales area. It seems CRM and ERP are working in a different way, using different checks that can lead you to inconsistencies.
    Kind regards,
    André
