Help! Big problem with new iphone update: infos & contacts disappeared from my iphone!

Hi,
I tried to update my iphone, it seemed to work but to let my iphone completely empty: no more phone numbers, pictures, etc.. in it. I thought I could pick the info on my itunes in computer but apparently the update broke the itunes program as well: it says that some elemets are missing... does someone have an idea??? THANKS SOOO MUCH!

Contacts and calendar events aren't backed up? That's a complete load of hokey. They are backed up, and I ran into a similar problem and recovered them FROM the backup. Here's my post:

Hope this helps.

    I bought new i phone 5 3 days back, after that asked for new update which is 6.1.4, after updating my iphone i am not able to use cellular data services. I called up data provider, they says its the problem with new software update. There is no option add APN. Now when i switch to safari its showing you are not subscribed for cellular data. But I am able to use data on other phone.
    Will you please help me in this regard?
    Another issue, since i bought my new iphone there is dust inside back main camera.
    Your advises are highly appreciated.

    Hey Shaiju isac,
    I'd take a look at the following article, it'll guide you though steps to you troubleshoot cellular data issues on your iPhone:

  • HT1689 All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.
    The phone strarted "blinking" all of a sudden, and when it returned to normal all contacts were missing.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if I can somehow restore the contacts? (No, I did not syncronize them with my PC or store them online..)
    Thanks!

    I would try a reboot and pray that it helped.  But if you didn't back the phone up to itunes or icloud or if you don't already store your contacts in gmail, then they are probably gone forever.

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5?

    Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • Big problem with photos after update to iOS 4.3

    Hi everyone,
    I have a big problem with the photos on my iPhone 4 after updating to 4.3
    There is not enough space for them, anymore. Before the update I had about 9000 photos synced with iTunes -and I had about 10 GB free. Now, iTunes can't sync the photos anymore because there is not enough space on the iPhone??? The same amount of photos does not fit anymore. I suppose there is an error in the Itunes photo compression module. Anybody else with the problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?
    Thanks, Olaf
    Update: The same number of photos is taking up three times as much space than before.
    Message was edited by: olafoio

    Me too, but I have the solution.
    There seems to be 2 problems. First, for some reason your data is taking up more space post update, so if you were close to filling your device, you now overrun. This isn't well handeld by iTunes, but doesn't seem to be the biggest problem as I'm sure that would sort itself out if you could just get it to sync.
    The root problem is the 2nd one - the missing file. Mine was a photo, but it took me ages to find it and you're not going to like how I did it. I started to untick things to sync one by one (music first) and attempting the re-sync. I found that it was a file in my photos that was causing the problem, so I removed those and then re-loaded everything back up and I'm now OK again. I use Aperture to sync with.
    I had the same problem with the last OS update and it's a pain because it takes ages to sort with a nearly full 32G device.
    Now onto my iPad for an update, but that's proving to be a non-starter as the thing wont back up due to "another session in progress". More rooting around to solve that I guess......

  • Big Problem with new PB SD-DL (shuts down each time)

    Hello I have a big Problem with my new PB 1,67 SD-DL.
    If I use it with the Powersupply there is no problem but if want to use it without the powersupply it shut down each time!!!
    Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 3 minutes or 10 minutes... (remaining battery time 3 hours)
    If I reboot it tells me that the system clock is before 2001 and I have set the right date.
    What should I do? I have already made a PMU Reset but nothing happens.
    The PB is 3 Weeks old and I have calibrate the battery correctly.

    You state that you've already tried resetting your PMU. Perhaps you should try resetting your NVRAM & PRAM. Frankly, I think this is a long shot, but it's worth a try.

  • When setting iCloud my contacts disappeared from my iPhone

    I sync my iphone 5 with outlook as well as my ipad mini.
    I created an icloud account to be able to use the find my iphone app.
    It asked me what to do with my contacts and I chose merge.
    My contacts have disappeared from my iphone an there are no contacts in icloud.
    My ipad mini has the data since I have not configured icloud in the ipad.
    What do you suggest to get the contacts back to my iphone?
    And what do I need to do to configure icloud on the ipad without deleting the contacts
    Thank you
    ATM

    Thank you for your suggestion. I tried that and when I slid the bar to off , I was asked what I wanted to do with the  icloud synched contacts, leave on the iPad or delete or cancel. I selected leave on the iPad and then the synch symbol came on screen, it stayed that way for over 30  minutes, in that state. I then rebooted the iPad and it came back , I went to the screen and the setting for iCloud contact was back to on. The contacts were still not there. My mail was still not working. I turned mail off and on , I received some email but not all as I compared to my iPhone and I tried to send an email it still did not send. I went back to the settings iCloud and turned contacts off again, I answered leav on iPad again and this time left it like that for an hour and had the same results.

  • Please Help : Big problem with applets

    Hi,
    I have a big problem which I have not been able to figure out. The applet I have enclosed works fine on some computers but not on others .
    I am running :
    java version "1.3.1_02"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_02-b02)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_02-b02, mixed mode)
    The applet runs perfectly Ok at university but not on other computers.
    The objective of the applet is to display 3 shapes on the screen once. On the university computer it works, however at home and work the 3 shapes are continuously displayed on the screen ( like they are in some infinite loop). I have been struggling with this for days any help would be greatly appreciated.
    It would help me if some of you could run this applet and let me know if the shapes are displayed once or if the shapes are continuously updated on the screen ( assuming that the applet window is not resized covered over etc. )

    O.K. You will not believe this, but the problem will be solved if you change the following line from:
        setFont(new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,24));to:
        g.setFont(new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,24));Now, since I am also learning JAVA, the way I went about solving was to create your applet from scratch, using cut and paste, and running it piece by piece till I ran into the flashing display. Took me a while. I am enclosing my version of the program for your comments.

  • Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

    I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
    Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different.  I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review.  I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking.  Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts."  When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000.  Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently.  I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later.  In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me.  When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again.  Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts.  I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400.  Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them.  Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
    My question:  How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook?  And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders?  The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me!  I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi lastskier
    Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
    My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
    1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
    2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
    3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
    4. Run the install and reboot.
    With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
    Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
    If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
    You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Big problem with new WD Caviar Green HDD, please advise!

    I bought a new Western Digital Caviar Green HDD 1TB, ( WD10EADS ) it is a SATA 3Gb/s interface HDD, 3.5-inch form factor. the RPM = IntelliPower (NOT 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM which means Rotate automatically depends on the needs of fetching data I suppose?)
    I acknowledged that this series of HDD which three of 6 have the same Power Management which Read/Write = 4.9W / Idle = 2.8W / Standby = 0.4 W / Sleep = 0.4W
    They are differ from the other 3, which 500GB one is 4.1W / 2.2W / 0.8W / 0.8W and 1.5TB is 4.73W 2.75W / 0.72W / 0.72W; 2TB is 6W 3.7W 0.8W 0.8W
    Which mean the Standby and Sleep mode are the same state.
    Now my big problem is, I bought an external dock SI-7908UI for this WD Caviar Green HDD.
    ( http://www.ssi.com.tw/product_content.aspx?id=92 )
    So I first put the HDD into the SI-7908UI Dock ( USB 2.0 / eSATA / Firewire 400 /800 )
    I tried many way of sequence of who power on first? WD Caviar Power on first? or Mac mini Power on first? I found that the best way is Mac mini Power on first, then Power on the external HDD.
    OK, before I address my big problem, I should let you know, I found that there is NO S.M.A.R.T. working when you put a S.M.A.R.T. HDD outside the Mac or PC. In Dock, the S.M.A.R.T. won't work, That's how I saw in System Profiler, the FireWire tab says " S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported "
    and I did test a Non-Green Maxtor HDD, the S.M.A.R.T. doesn't show either. You'll need this info before the real problem I'm gonna say in the following.
    NOW, about 10~15 minutes after my Mac mini boot, if I didn't fetch anything from my external HDD, it would goes to sleep itself, that confirmed that the Specification Sheet was true, the Idle = 2.8W and I believe it goes to Idle, NOT Standby or Sleep, which I also believe the Standby or Sleep signal is supposed to be given by Mac OS, but it sounds like Standby or Sleep, BECAUSE the WD HDD suddenly not rotate and the sound it appears that it goes to SLEEP, am I right? I keep Mac awake by browsing the web so Mac mini won't go to sleep (I set 10 minutes in Energy Saver and I checked Put the HDD to sleep when possible)
    Well, That is my big problem when WD Green HDD goes to sleep, because I CAN'T wake it up, NOT eject or Shut down the Mac mini. (OK, I'm NOT sure if it goes to Sleep or Idle)
    First I thought it freezes the whole Mac OS, then I found I still can move many things, such as I am doing right now, post this big problem here. but I am sure the others are freeze! and no matter how many time I click Shut Down or Restart or Force Quit, the Mac mini didn't respond.
    I tried to figure it out because I don't want to Shut Down by force.(5 seconds Press the Power button)
    then I found that if I power down the external dock 7908-UI when Mac fail to shut down/restart/or eject the external HDD, It worked.
    And the Mac OS will appear a window says that "I shouldn't unplug an external device without Ejecting it first" something like that. and suddenly it shuts down very quickly, everything back to normal, it shut down successfully.
    What am I gonna do with this? Am I going to power down my external HDD first every time I want to shut down/eject/restart? Because the Eject the external HDD will cause freeze too! Freeze Finder I suppose.
    Is it caused by 7908-UI ? or Caused by WD Caviar's Green Power management?
    Because I don't trust 7908-UI, it doesn't look like a trusted brand, I've never heard of this SSI company anyway.
    What am I gonna do? Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please realise that I am not the right person to be asking. I pointed you to a thread where, as a Moderator at the Bombich forums, I felt the need to warn users of CCC that a WD drive might cause problems. The thread mainly just copies what WD have said.
    Obviously your drive will respond/awake/spin up when you access it manually. Some of the problems are...
    •  Most users want to be in control of whether and/or when a drive sleeps -- WD's auto-sleep cannot be disabled and so precludes that.
    •  Most users want their drive to obey settings in Energy Saver -- the WD auto-sleep mechanism doesn't allow that.
    •  Most users want a scheduled cloning/backup to take place during the night. The cloning app starting the backup process should cause the target drive, if sleeping, to wake/spin up so that the process can take place -- it does for all drives except WD drives where the auto-sleep mechanism used doesn't allow it. LaCie drives, for instance, have auto-sleep +as an option+, during which the drive will respond to Energy Saver settings and to software such as a cloning app.
    Please, Mauricette, put you questions/concerns/problems to the reseller or to WD, both of whom took your money without warning you. I am NOT a WD expert! ...or lover! ( )   I became more than disenchanted when I saw that a) WD do not point out the limitations of their external drives at point of sale, and b) WD put the blame for these inadequacies/problems/limitations onto Apple, ignoring the fact that no drives other than WD drives have them.

  • PLEASE, PLEASE HELP: Big problems with my Zen Touch. (Firmware/driver issu

    So here's the deal:
    Last night I thought I'd finally take the time to upgrade my Zen Touch to 2. from .3 or something like that. I noticed that there was a warning saying that this was no small upgrade, and that I should back up everything I have on it.
    I'm glad I did, because now my MP3 player situation is seriously screwed up, big time. During the upgrade process, my computer froze, leaving my Zen Touch without firmware (ok, so firmware version 0.0.0). Upon turning the device on, it boots up in recovery mode. This allows me to either format, clean up, or "reupload" firmware. I've tried all of these options, but the fact is clear that my computer simply will no longer recognize my MP3 player.
    It does, however, recognize it at as a generic storage device. However, this isn't enough for me to reinstall the player's firmware unfortunately.
    So basically, I can't update driver or firmware right now, because my computer won't acknowlege my Zen Touch!
    Somebody please, please help.
    I've already tried using the setup file from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm.
    Seriously, please help!

    Sort of success!
    I now finally have firmware 2. installed on my Zen Touch! Yeah! I'm not entirely sure how I did it, and I'm not bothering to find out, I'm just glad I finally got it on there.
    But some problems still remain. After all this fiddling with my driver and firmware and whatnot, my computer just doesn't see my MP3 the same way as it used to. Before, it was great, all I had to do was plug her in and I could bring up Zen Explorer in Windows Explorer, or organize my stuff in Creative MediaSource.
    Now that's not the case. The only way I can sort of add stuff to my player now is by going into Windows Explorer, which is still more or less acknowleging my player as a "portable device". Granted, there is a dri've called "My Zen", but it doesn't bring up Zen Explorer like it used to when I click on it. Furthermore, when I go into MediaSource, I can't select it as a location, there just isn't anything there.
    It almost seems as if my computer thinks I'm just using a portable hard dri've. Is there anyway I can tell it that it's an MP3 player, too?
    Thanks!

  • Big Problems with new macbook

    I was wondering if anyone else was having serious fuctional problems with a new macbook---I bought mine a few months ago and sometimes, for hours at a time, it refuses to turn on. I have gotten it repaired several times. I bought an apple because I heard they didn't have these sorts of debilitating problems. Is this common? Does it go away? I have had it repaired at the Apple store twice and the isue always comes back after a week or so? Did I just get a lemon? What would you apple devotees do in this situation?

    Kathleen, these problems aren't normal. Usually the quality of Apple products is top shelf but every now and again a stinker will get through. I think you got a lemon.
    Call AppleCare and tell them of your continuing problems, be polite but firm. If the first person you speak to isn't able to help ask for a manager. Once again be polite and have them look up the repairs on your Mac. They should agree to excahnge your troublesome Mac with a new one.
    Don't wait longer...your Mac is almost new and the problems aren't going to go away...they'll more than likely get worse.
