HELP!! Lost some of my contacts after update to iOS 7.1.2

I lost most of my contacts after updating to iOS 7.1.2 last night!  I can't see the contact in my contact list but when I text/call they are there...what is going on and how do I restore this to see all contacts?

It never happened to me, but try to Reset the iPhone by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears and ignore the red slider.

    Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

  • I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

    I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

    If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

  • I lost all of my contacts after update

    I lost all of my contacts after installing new software. How can i retrieve them back...or can i retrieve them??

    If you have an Icloud backup, sign in to your account. It will reload your contacts. If over a computer, use a previous device backup, or in the sync menu of your devce, go to mail and contacts and select the info you want to copy to your iphone, if you have the contact info on your computer. If by chance dont have icloud, or a previous backup to itunes, then I'm afraid that your contacts are gone. This is why I went to Icloud as soon as I got ios 5. Hope this helps

  • Yet another case of lost contacts after updating to iOS 5

    I'm an iPhone noob cos my personal phone is a htc desire s and the phone I'm having problems with is my mother's.
    So since I didn't see anything about iOS 5 having any major issues, I updated from 4.X.X to 5.1.1. During the process, iTunes said 'backing up phone' or something like that, but after a while it said something like  'restoring phone to factory default' and I found this weird but thought nothing of it.
    After the update completed, I checked that the pictures and messages were there but didn't notice if the contacts in messages were there. Few days later my mother tells me that all the contacts were gone.
    Been trying for the past 3 hours to fix it. Syncing did nothing and for some reason, iTunes only had no previous backups!! I also didn't enable iCloud when setting up the phone for the first time after updating it so the disabling and enabling iCloud didn't work. The messages didn't show my contacts so I couldn't use the 'editing a contact' method. There aren't any contacts on windows contacts or anything else and the phone is rarely connected to the computer (apple noob here).
    I'm really out of ideas, many important contacts on the phone that she needs back. Any help is appreciated!

    Yeah I thought I should have before doing the update but with no warning on Apples behalf of the chance of files going missing I thought I would have been safe, especially as I backed up my iPhone before hand.
    Other people have been able to access their photos by using software like iPhone Explorer but even by looking in the file structure of my iPhone, none of the photos are there. I guess this just means I'll have to forget about the photos, and start again.
    I think it's just weird how I still have 45 photo stream photos on my device, just none in the camera roll. :(

  • HT1386 i lost all of my contacts after updating my phone

    I have a iphone 3gs and I have never updated my phone until today.  I thought I synced everything but I have lost my notes and contacts can anyone HELP me get them back

    If you haven't been using your phone as recommended by synching your contacts to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service then they're gone.
    Now would be a really good time to read the User Guide and learn how to properly use your phone.  Used properly, you should never have data loss again.

  • My iMessage isn't working on some of my contacts after updating ios 7

    And my contact has also updated to ios 7

    This just happened to me when I changed my password in preferences. Click "sign out" and then quit the application. Then go to iforgot and reset your password. Once you have reset your new password go back to imessage and click "sign in". Use your new password and you should be good.

  • I am missing some of my contacts after upgrading to iOS 6

    I am missing some of my contacts in my iphone4 after upgrading to iOS 6. They are still in the memory but how to retrieve them.

    What do you mean "they are still in the memory"?  What memory?
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6). 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.

  • Lose contacts after updating to IOS 7.1

    contact disappear from list no rhyme or reason since downloading IOS7.1 to an IPhone 4s.  Need help to stop this

    Hi virginia297,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Did you lose one contact or all of them?  The article below provides some troubleshooting steps.  I've highlighted two common steps for you.  Click on the link below for more detailed information:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
    If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
    Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
    Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
    Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
    Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
    Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on:
    Tap Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Contacts off. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
    Wait a few minutes before turning Contacts back on.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Help I recover sms and contacts after updating sof...

    hi, after I have adjourned the software of my n70, I don't understand the why of the loss of my smses and my contacts in index book. I don't succeed them more to find. do you know how to tell me if they are saved in some briefcase or me I have definitely lost them? thanks

    I´m not sure what "adjourned" means, but if it has got something to do with software update, I regret to have to tell you that your contacts and sms are gone for good, if you have not followed the advice before updating, to save all data using the Nokia Content Copier within PC Suite...
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

  • Lost all contacts after updating to ios 8.2

    I updated my phone to the new ios 8.2 and after installing the update my contacts were gone. I didn't have them backed up to icloud. How do I get them back?

    If you did a clean install then you have to manually import contacts from the sim. Try this guide to import sim contacts easily on ios 8.
    OR
    Try going into settings ---> Mail,Contacts,Calendars ---> Import SIM Contacts.
