Help! Contacts are lost??
Hello,
my computer crashed, so I had to install my laptop new. Of course my iTunes also! I did the first synchronisation after this installation. All Programms are there, my calendar was o.k.... but ALL CONTACTS are lost!! I didn´t make a hook on sychronisation for my contacts! But now, there are no contacts on my iPod anymore. Were are they? Can I find them? What can I do now? I had never synchr. them to outlook.
I´m frustrated, please help me!!
No it doesn´t!
I didn´t sync the contacts to my computer (privat contacts, business laptop), I did no hook on this option! Everyting was right... only my contacts were lost. If I would sync, the dates of outlook would be now on my iPod. But here is NOTHING now!
I hope, that the data are not lost, I don´t think, that this date were lost like formating a disk. Maybe a link to my data is lost or something. They MUST be on my iPod, but this is apple, not windows, I can´t dig deeper in the System... I don´t know how to do this.
I did:
I installed new iTunes on fresh notebook
sync Outlook Calendar to iPod (this did right), nothing else to that time.
I got crazy!

The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!
that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore. -

They seemed to "successfully" to do it - from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 plus - all the apps moved, the interface, everything BUT after a couple of hours I've noticed that some contacts from the phone were missing and nowhere to be found AND now in the list of favorites ONLY SOME contacts don't have the names to them but only the numbers show up? WHAT'S UP with that?

Overnight my contact list went from 1492 to 52. With help from Apple I retrieved the missing contacts using Time Machine. The problems is that the contacts are not in groups as they used to be. Any suggestions? I really need them grouped for business reasons.
Also, there are no longer pictures associated with each contact.
thanks for any help anyone can give me getting contacts back into the groups that I had established. By the way, the group names are still there, but they are all empty.
thanks,

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

HELP! I lost all my contacts overnight/apple rep had me do restore/now gone
I am using the IPhone 3G. I had approx 400 contacts on my phone and about 600 songs on my 16GB IPhone. Last night, I synced my phone, all was fine. This morning, the summary page on ITunes showed that all my music was gone, all of my ringtones were gone, and I had 7.83 of "other" in orange. Spoke with Apple rep, couldn't figure it out, so she had me do a system restore as I had always synced my contacts to Windows Contacts. When we did the system restore, I checked contacts, and they were ALL gone. She had me go to Windows Contacts program and it was empty (?). Then, I remembered that I had synced all of my contacts with my Facebook account and you could link the two. I tried syncing my Facebook contacts with my IPhone contacts and alhough it says it's syncing, when I check my Iphone, my contacts are still missing. Any thoughts? And one final odd thing...the apple rep had me check last "sync" and said we could do a restore from a previous sync, but for some strange reason, there was only one...the one we did right before we deleted everything. We tried using that as a last ditch effort and even utilizing that one sync did not work, but it should have. I'm lost at this point, and don't know what to do...Someone please HELP??
As a workaround if you have a GMail account or get one you could try syncing with Google Contacts as described in this thread here then sync your iPhone with Google as described here

Help! My Contacts Are Suddenly Gone and my computer will only synch photos
I was talking on the phone and when I was done, all of my contacts are gone. When I look at my recent calls, it just shows the numbers of the people who called and not the person's name. Does anyone know what happened? I am moving in two days, driving across the country and I need these contacts.
What happened?
How do I retrieve the contacts, if possible?
ThanksNo I'm just an idiot. I forgot that you had to open itunes (it doesn't do it automatically). I opened itunes and synched my windows contacts and got them back. But I lost a lot of my contacts because obviously I don't synch very often. Thanks for your help folks.
I still don't understand why suddenly all of my contacts were deleted during a phone call. This is really frustrating and terrible timing. -
Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?
If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person -
Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
Solutions?No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by. -

i lost my iphone but my contacts are still on icloud how do i transfer them to my gmail account without my phone ?
You would't be able to do this with the iPhone.
You can access your iCloud online contacts with a supported address book app on your computer. Export the contacts from there for import into your Gmail online address book.
Or you can login with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer. There is an option for selecting all contacts followed by exporting all as a single vCard file on your computer. If Google supports importing vCards, you can import the contacts that way. -
Recently some of my contacts are no longer displaying in my contact list, but I know they're in memory because when one of them calls me my phone recognizes the caller. This happened a few days ago, so i must have changed some setting,but I have no idea which one. Can anyone help?
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
I switched from Mobileme to iCloud last night.
My iphone show all contacts properly.
But, I can't see any of contacts from my Mac and pc.
My all contacts are gone.
Please helpe to restore all my contacts.
I sync my ipone and mac.
Thanks,
dolphinYour signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud. -
