Hey all, my iphone 4 contacts keep disappearing. I do not use MobileMe.

Hey all,
As above, I do not use MobileMe as I know it could be related from viewing other articles...
I can get them back by resyncing to my mac, however, as soon as I view my contacts, its seems the phone does a process and they all disappear again.
I tried, erasing all content and data on my phone and re-setting up as a new phone.
I tried, simply restoring from itunes completley.
I tried, importing from sim card, but nothing really appears.
Any help would be greatly appriciated....suggestions, anything.
Thanks

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

ICal duplicated on iphone and itunes but not on laptop... (not using Mobileme)

I recently got a new laptop and exported my calendars from my old laptop to new.
I then synced my iphone via itunes which resulted in all calendars being duplicated!
The calendars on my laptop are not duplicated.
The calendars on my itunes sync and iphone are duplicated.
I do not use Mobileme or Entourage.
I can't seem to get them to sync, but I can clear them off the iphone (by replacing info on phone during sync). However they still remain on the itunes sync.
Can anyone help? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Contacts keep disappearing and reappearing on my iPhone

I have an iPhone 4S, 32GB, with Sprint. I have the iOS 7.0.2 on my phone.
Since the first iOS 7 came out, I keep losing contacts in my phone. People's entries will disappear right out from my phone. I usually have to go to settings, re-enable each group, and restart the phone a couple of times before the issue is fixed. I just had a friend call me and couldn't tell who it was. And it appears that the contacts that it is choosing not to display (in either the phone book contacts, or under the contacts app) are random. Has anyone else been having this issue with their contacts? And are there any fixes to this. It is very frustrating not knowing who belongs to what phone number. I'm going to have to start writing everything down in a paper address book.
Also, I've noticed that my cellular signal has been super, super slow since the update as well. I don't know if this an issue related just to Sprint, or if this is general for all of the carriers.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the time and considerations.

reset all settings
settings- general- reset - reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes
Peace, Clyde

My contacts keep disappearing

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 (I have an iphone 4s) my contacts will disappear every so often. The first time they disappeared was of course when I upgradd to 7. Apple, how hard is it to keep the contacts and retore them after an OS upgrade? And now, my contacts seem to disappear every week, with NO input or change instructed by me. I have just reclaimed my contacts tonight after what is perhaps the 4th time they have disappeared, by going to settings/contacts, email, and selecting download SIM contacts. Come on Apple! This is stupid!

I have the same issue on my 4S and they disappear randomly. I have tried to hard reset with the home and sleep button and that does not work. Restoring is the only way it works but I dont have my MAC all the time and I do not use icloud. Is there is any solution to this? my warranty is over and there is not clear solution to this other than taking it into APPLE to complain but it is no longer under the 1 year warranty.... ***** help..
This started only when i upgraded to iOS7. Not cool Apple....:-/

Why do my recent phone contacts keep disappearing and re-appearing?

I recently bought an iPhone 4S and synced my contacts from my previous smart phone.
Now, the contacts I add get saved, but they keep disappearing and re-appearing automatically. This has been happening for almost a month now.
It is very embarassing when my new Manager calls up and I ask who he is.
Please help.

So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

IPhone 4s contacts randomly disappeared

10 minutes ago i was texting my mate and all of a sundden all my contacts just disappeared, i dont use iCloud or any other back up storage services as i dont believe that a £500 phone would have these problems. My iphones is only 6 months old and already behaving like a 3 year old on crack! Does nayone know how to fix this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Yes, I already tried toggling on/off iCloud under my settings several times and several days. Each time, this does not resolve the problem.
Yes, I have already checked my iCloud account online on my laptop and can clearly see all my contacts there. I also checked my Verizon Backup Assistant online via my Verizon online account and my contacts are all there. That said, I cant find the instructions on how I can transfer the contacts from either one, back to my iphone 4s. :/
Since, I posted my problem; by some mysterious reason all my contacts re-appeared completely intact back on my phone with no rhyme or reason. I was happy, since I got them all back on my phone without me doing anything. That said, THIS week it has happened AGAIN! I wasn't on my phone, it was just sitting on the coffee table, and I got a text message from a friend so I picked up the phone only to see all my contacts were gone and their names weren't showing up under the texts/messages app or my recent contact phone log or voicemail anymore. It has been 4 days now, today and they have not re-appeared again like they did last time.
Yes, I tried doing all of the toggle on/off on iCloud again; and I also toggled the on/off on my contacts under all my gmail accounts too, and still nothing.
As for the hotmail, issue.....no I am not using a 3rd party hotmail app (never have). Up until my most recent software update, I was using the "Outlook" option given when under "Settings->Mail,Contacts, Calendars-->Add Account". However, since the update when I use this option, it doesn't "pull/sync" my emails to my phone. I instead use the "Other" option now, and that fixed the email issue. So I have come to my own conclusion that the email issue, was unrelated to the My Contacts issue, discussed above.

Wounded Veteran. My notes, Favorites and most of my contacts keep disappearing! Help!!

I have the iPhone 4S and ever since I downloaded the iOS7 my phone has not worked well. My contacts keep disappering, same with my notes and I need my notes to help remember. Other times I'll be watching a video and the volume will just stop working. Sometimes, apps will just freeze up when I'm using them or the phone will just freeze up. However, the biggest problem is the disappearing contacts and notes. I need both of them and when I need them they always seem to disapear. Please Help!

it would be better for you to speak with iTunes Store support. They will need to ask you questions so this issue can be sorted out immediately.
