How can I stop my iPhone 3GS contacts from disappearing?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I woke up this morning and for no apparent reason all my contacts had dissapeared. I am a casual user of my phone at best and had not done anything out of the ordenary.
There are an overwelming number of posts about this issue and I cannot establish what I am supposed to do, to stop my contacts from dissapearing.

It very well could be if you were syncing some of your contacts with the account you removed. If you were, and you removed the account from the phone, then any synced data that belonged to that account would have been removed at that time.
Okay, and additionally I am accusing the mail client of removing even contacts that I had added manually via the phone keypad, or I am accusing it of owning those contacts when I did or prehaps at some point the mail client took ownership of all my contacts regardless.
Friendly Regards

    It seems like your phone might be done for then.. I had a White 3G do this to me.. Although I DONT suggest it, smacking it around seemed to get it connected every now and then, but if it was dropped again it would stop working..
    Also, make sure your SIM card is clean & properly inserted into the phone!

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    You phone was hacked. You can not get help with it here. Hacking / Jailbreaking voids any warraty and forfeits your right to support. Discussing jailbroken / hacked devices is forbidden by the terms of service here.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?

    I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
    How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.

    The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore  to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

    How can I recognized an iPhone 3GS on iTunes 11.0.4.4 version on PC Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3?

    Plug the device into the computer and iTunes will detect it.  If that is not working, then stating as such would be a good start.

    For the Notes issue, on the iMac go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud and insure Notes is one of the items checked.
    The following is a previous discussion on setting up a separate Apple ID for using iCloud but still sharing the same iTunes if desired: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23204265#23204265
