How do i stop my i phone 4s deleting my contacts when i set up e-mail?

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to the i phone 4S.  I have restored from my back up on my Macbook.  When I put in all my details to set up my e-mail exchange account all the contacts are deleted.  I have tried a few times and ensured that the box's next to contacts calenders and reminders are not checked ( so they don't sync) but it is all still deleted.  It seems I can have either my e-mail working or my contacts installed and that can't be right.   I've seen others have this problem.  Please can someone help it's driving me insane!!
Many thanks

Restore you phone from backup again to get your contacts back on your phone.  Then download the app My Contacts Backup.  This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself.  Now set up your exchange account and let it delete your contacts.  Finally, open the email you sent earlier and tap on the attachment to re-import your contacts back to your phone.  Hopefully they will stay there.

  • My phone is deleting my contacts at random. one minute ill have a contact than I'll message them and than my phone deletes them and its just a number. how can i stop this and get my contacts back?

    since getting my new phone i had to send it out for repair. after only 2 weeks of having the phone. i got a loner phone and restored my phone to the loner, but than a few days after getting this loner phone my phone started deleting my contacts. i couldn't find them and i know i had them. than i turned off my iCloud for contacts thinking that would help. it never. my phone started deleting numbers as i would use them, like i would select a contact message them than right after i hit send that contact got deleted. i figured it was just the loner phone, but since getting my phone back and restoring it it too is deleting my contacts. any way to stop this and get my contacts back?

    It appears that you are using iCloud to sync your contacts, is that correct? Other than turning off iCloud for contacts and then turning it back on again, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried?

  • How can I stop my Droid Razr-M from turning on when i plug in the charger?

    How can I stop my Droid Razr-M from turning on when i plug in the charger? I can turn it off and even wait a few minutes before plugging it in to the charger and it still turns on immediately when plugged in. If I turn it off after plugging in the charger, it turns back on right away too.

        I know its frustrating to have your phone powered on when dharger brazzco. Have you tried to to plug the phone into the charger then power the phone down? Are you u sing the wall charger or USB charger? Is the phone damaged? Keep us posted.

    Did you check the network setting?
    Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

  • How do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    how do i stop the rainbow coloured circle from appearing especially when using IPhoto?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

    How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
    This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
    It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
    I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

    Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

  • How do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash?

    how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

    If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account.  When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email.  That's a POP account.

  • How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

    How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts?  I have a LG accolade

    I recommend checking your  prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature. 
    With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
    -Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
    -Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
    -Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
    Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
    * For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
    * For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
    * For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

  • How can i stop recovery. my phone is stuck in the middle

    how can i stop recovery in my iphone 4s?  i haven't backit up yet but due to wifi interruption it didn't go through.  can i undo it?

    No you cannot.  If the phone is in recovery mode, all data on it are lost.  However, I'm sure you've been making frequent backups as intended, so you should have minimal data loss.

  • How do I stop a sync mucking about with my contacts list?

    I have repeatedly set up the same contacts list in my computer and phone.
    All are in the form: Marybeth @ M in the first name field - a habit from long ago!
    Either the computer or the phone keeps trying to create surnames or dredge them out of some old historical file - to my eternal frustration!
    To quote a highly regarded TV scientist of yesteryear - Why is this so?
    Better still - How do I stop it???
    I don't use or want surnames in my list and it seems I don't get to choose whether I'd like it as an optional field!
    Thanks for any suggestions that will save my ever-thinning hair!

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.
    <nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • Sporadic crash; Main Q: how do i stop going into standby automatically and then freezing when I try to restart what I am working on. Hate this new FF.

    Just how do i stop this autostandby feature. It was not on my previous ff. Or maybe not set. I need to know how to swithc it off and cannot find a lead in the index or even a list of all the items in the index to help track it. I am working on something and leave to do something else and then come back and it is all on standby. Since Having the ff4 craashes a lot and infact does all sorts of aberrant th ings. Then I have to shut down (slow once crashed) and reboot. So many problems that I am threatening to give up the computer. It is wasting so much time. It never has before.

    I want to put in my 2 cents as well in hopes that Apple will start to notice this based on the number of people that are posting the problem. I am having the same problem, which I will describe as well as to what I have seen. I have iTunes open already and insert an audio CD. It appears briefly on the desktop as "Audio CD" and then iTunes accesses information on the CD from the web. It then looses the information and the disk and the CD unmounts completely in the finder. I am certain of the timing, as one CD I inserted had multiple different possible matches found and when I chose one, it unmounted as soon as I chose the right item from the the dialog box. It happens sporadically with no pattern that I can see. Some disks work and others do not. I have been keeping Disk Utility open and when it happens, I just click on the CD in there and click on "Mount Disk" and then iTunes proceeds to import it just fine and then ejects it, as I have set the options. It started to happen after I upgraded to Leopard and also iTunes 7.5. I don't think I tried to import anything between doing those 2 updates.
