How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

I have an iphone 4s   IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
Where did they go? How do I get them back?

If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • I would like to know how can I delete all my contact that have been linked from yahoo and facebook? Help!!!!

    Please help me It is drivng me crazy having all these contacts

    Go to SETTINGS, then ACCOUNTS AND SYNC select facebook and uncheck sync contacts and then do the same for yahoo.
    back up contacts w/ backup assistant that is under accounts and sync.
    then go back to SETTINGS then APPLICATIONS then MANAGER APPLICATIONS then ALL select PEOPLE then clear data. this will erase your contacts so make sure you have it backed up.
    then go to SETTINGS then ACCOUNTS and SYNC then backup assistant and sync now and this should put all your contacts back on your phone without being relinked to facebook or yahoo at least i remember it being something like this when i was trying to get rid of facebook being linked to my contacts on my Tbolt.

  • How do i find all of the music i downloaded from my iphone after my iphone was stolen?

    I am now an Android user and I have just DL'd iTunes onto my Windows laptop. I need to find all of the music I paid for through iTunes. Currently it is downloading some music that was in the middle of the DL when the phone was stolen but that is all I see. I'm not terribly familiar with iTunes.

    I should also state that I never used iTunes outside of my iPhone. I didn't own a computer at that time and the phone was my only connection.

  • How do I recall old text messages that have disappeared from my phone?

    I want to recall a text message which pre-dates the text messages existing on my Samsung S5? I presume that all text messages are held by EE for a certain period of time, and I would like to know how to recall a particular one.

    Unless under settings you have made sure that they are backed up, then you will not be able to get them back. Have you checked the settings for messages? I know this is possible with the Lumia phones, but no idea with Samsung.

  • How do you find out the contacts that were updated via Facebook and twitter in the settings without having to figure it out manually?

    How do you find out the contacts that were updated via Facebook and twitter in the settings without having to figure it out manually?

    There is no such list of what is downloaded to each phone except in the backup. So if you have a recent backup of each phone you should be able to find an app that reads the backup files and would tell you what list is saved of the content on each phone.

  • I have an idea for an iPhone app that I believe would be marketable. However, I have no talent towards writing software. How does I find a reputable programer that would be will to develop and split proceeds?

    Find an app you like.  Contact the developer of that app and see if they are interested.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from Itunes?

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

  • All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

    Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server.  Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page.  If they are gone, then they are really gone.
    Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago.  Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones.  My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
    What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted?  (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

  • How do i get back my playlists that have disappeared!!! they were backed up both on my laptop and the cloud

    Are you signed into itunes with your email address?  Purchases that are made through itunes are tied to the email address on your account.  If someone else logged in then your purchases wouldn't show. 
    When you go to the itunes store look at the black/gray bar at the top.  On the left is the email address that is signed in.  If it's incorrect just click on it and select "Sign Out."  When you sign back in all should be well.

  • How do I get old purchused songs that were deleated from my account and my liberary?

    How do I get old purchused songs that were deleated from my account and my liberary?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

  • I reformatted from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac

    i reformatted my mac pro from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back. i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac.

    Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
    You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.

    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

    All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).  The files are all on the HD.  When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed.  When I highlight a keyword, Get the message  "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED".  Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
    I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!
    GFrey

    Which operating system are you running on?   Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Which version did you upgrade from?  updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
    In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference?  was unchecked now checked.  Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
    In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked?  At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
    In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked?  yes
    I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events?  get groupings of files with those keywords.

    Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly
