HT1386 After I synced, all my contacts were missing information or actually missing, how do I correct this?

Could someone please tell me how to get my contact list back to the original. When I synced it, it got all jumbled and I have missing contacts, missing information and it's just a mess.  I think the fact that I joined Cloud may have something to do with it. I'd be perfectly happy to get out of that also. Please help.
Thanks.

No, you can't downgrade iOS. You should be able to restore the address book on your computer from your backup, though. Windows address book probably got wiped on the first sync after the upgrade completed. It sounds like the iPhone may have been disconnected before the entire restore cycle was complete if the contact records in Windows Address book got munged.

  • Suddenly all my contacts were replaced by my brothers. How do I get mine back?

    Suddenly all my contacts were replaced by my brother's. How do I get mine back?

    restore with a backup made of the device
    or sync it with itunes then you should be able to get all contacts from the source you sync contacts with
    and apps you can always get back by clicking purchaes in app store on the device itself

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together.  How do I undo this?  Do i create him a different icloud account? 

    Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
    In the next step, create a new account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

    While trying to set up ICloud some of my contacts have been wiped out and all contacts are showing up with number only
    How do I recover the lost contacts and get contact names to show instead on just number?

    That depends on what you mean. If you mean two iTunes Store accounts, no. Only one Apple ID can be logged into the iTunes Store at a time and if automatic download, iTunes Match or re-downloading of content is used the ID can not be changed for 90 days.

    So i guess if i solve my goof up on creating different apple IDs and setting her phone as a new one .. according to you that shall do the trick.
    But i have a question here in that case what happens to all the applications that have been purchased on my Id ? Wont i be needing them to be purchased/downloaded again in the new id?
    If you previously had been using the same Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases for both of you there is no reason to change what you've been doing. If this is your wife's first iPhone, and you want to share the iTunes Store account just don't use the new Apple ID you created. As long as there are no purchases on it there's nothing to worry about.

  • Recently a course was hidden from iTunes U because less than 75% of material available.  I checked and all of the apps and information is available. How do I fix this?

    I checked all of the apps and materials and they are available to download from the app store or the course.  How do I get this course added back into our iTunes U site?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Nancy;
    To "Unhide" a Collection, you can highlight the hidden Collection and choose "Unhide" from the Collections Page menu (see attached).

  • I have my Iphone 3gs set to "do not delete before asking", but after viewing an email it very often disappears without me deleting. How can I correct this?

    My email messages often disappear after I read them without me deleting them.  I have the option on mail settings clicked that states "do not delete with asking". Why is this happening and how can I correct it. When I return to read the email again, it is gone.

    There is no such option in the mail settings.
    Who is your email provider? Is it a POP or IMAP account? So you also have a computer set up to access that email account? If so, if the mail client on the computer is set to use the POP3 protocol, it may be deleting the mail from the server as it downloads it. That is the default behavior with POP3.

  • My new iPhone5 was synced to a year old backup of previous iphone4. How do I correct this?

    My new iPhone5 was synced to a year-old backup of my iPhone4 during setup. I do not have a current back-up of iPhone4 but still have the phone. Can this problem be corrected?

    ..and back-ups through iTunes should be done much more frequently than annual!
    I do mine weekly.

  • After making a phone call, I went to make another and all my contacts were gone. How can i get them back?

    I made one phone call this morning and after hanging up i went to the contacts library and all my contacts were gone. I have unfortunately not got a backup (this isn't my phone its for a friend) and so I have no backup of my contacts. I have already tried importing contacts from the sim but only a very small few contacts are on the sim so im still missing over 90% of my contacts. How can i fix this? This phone is an iphone 4s running ios 7

    nope just set it to do so for future purposes but i have no recorded backup of any contacts

    Synch them back from whatever contact manager or cloud service you stored them in.

  • HT1386 Windows 8 Syncing Problem with Contacts and Calendars Office 2007 and iphone 4

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R and just did a sync with my iphone 4.  It wiped out my contact  and calendar listing.  I have selected the contacts and calenders sync option.  It is almost like the sync process can not fine the pst file on this new Windows 8 computer.

    For this particular issue, as suggested by yellowadept, go the the info tab at under the advanced section, choose replace contact information on iphone. This will over write any contact information on the iphone with what you have in address book on the computer.
    However, if you are interested in what part of the 111 contacts will be changed, you could open address book first. Then highlight all your contacts and click on file>export>as vcard. Then you could back up all your contacts to your desktop. After you export all your contacts then you could sync the iphone and allow the changes to see what changes were made. If the iphone actually changed anything, then you could delete all your contacts in address book, then import the vcards back in.
    Also, keeping a back-up of your contacts and calendars is a pretty good idea.
    Hope this helps.

  • I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

    like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

  • My iPhone 4s worked fine at 9am. At 9:30am all my contacts were gone. I got most of them back.Numerous other issues with my phone now. Send button sometimes grey. Can't add appointments.There is more. Help??

    I got most of my contacts back, but there was no rhyme or reason for which ones were dropped. I literally called someone and had no problems. The phone was on my desk just sitting there. About thirty minutes later, I got a call from my wife and it didn't show her as a contact, just the number. That's when I realized all my contacts were gone. I retrieved most of them, but many are still not there. I did the latest update before all this happened. Now, I can't add appointments, I can't text some people, even after I add them to my contacts again, and I've got no idea how to fix this issue. Thanks for any help!!

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • All my contacts were erased when I completed software upgrade to 6.0.1. Is there a way to restore my contact info?

    Sync them back to the device from the supported application on the computer that you are using. That would be either Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook, iCloud or other cloud service. That is done either through iTunes, or iCloud.
