HT1386 Contacts File Missing from IPHONE

I had to get a new device (iphone) and when I restored my info to the new device, everything transferred except my contacts - icon and all are missing.

Contacts is a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check utilities.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Yosemite Contact Notes Missing From iPhone iOS8

    After the nightmare of Mail crashes, and still not being able to get Calendar to work with Exchange calendars that work fine with Mavericks, iOS7 and iOS8 devices, I discovered yet another bug and new thing to worry about. Not sure if Yosemite or iOS 8.1 are the issue here.
    I have someone's bank routing and account info saved in the Notes of their contact card on my MacBook Pro. Before my iOS8 upgrade the info was in the Notes of their contact on the iPhone as well.
    I had to get to the bank on Friday to make an urgent payment and got there only to find that the Notes section of the contact card is blank on the iPhone. It was a wasted trip and caused lots of problems for people as I could not send them money in time. Coming back home I found the info is still in the laptop's contacts. I made changes to it just to force an update. But it is still not showing up despite rebooting the iPhone. I do see the info in iCloud so it appears as if the problem is iOS 8.1 Contacts.
    Perhaps we are expected to go through thousands of contacts and check if each one's notes were synced.
    One, looking for a solution. Two, wondering if others see the same problem.
    Thanks.
    Imran

    Notes are no longer synced through iTunes.  I had the same problem and found this out by chatting with Apple Support.  Notes are synced only through iCloud and IMAP (ex. gmail).   I don't want my notes in the web, and  I could not find any free app that syncs without the cloud.   So although very clunky, I put my notes in Contacts.  Yes, it's clunky.  First name is the note's title and the last name is Notes.  Horrible.  At least I can sync through iTunes without external servers.
    The following post helped me find my notes in my computer.

    I was in the same boat, losing my mind because none of the suggestions were working or helpful until I stumbled onto this one.  It refers to problems encountered while upgrading to Mountain Lion but the solution worked for recovering my notes..

    I had this problem - all the notes I wanted were "On My Mac", which vanished as soon as I upgraded (and weren't in the new Notes app either).  In the end, I had to find the files which Mountain Lion had failed to migrate to the new app, in the following location:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox/
    There was one folder containing a whole bunch of numbered folders inside that. Going through each of the numbered folders right down to the "Messages" folder inside each, I found one or more files of the name format "nnnnn.emlx" (where "n" is a numeral).  I copied all the .emlx files I found into a single (other) directory - as a backup in case something didn't work or I needed to do it again - then selected them all and dragged and dropped them onto the Notes app.
    It's pretty poor form that the upgrade process doesn't reliably handle On My Mac notes, but at least it's not too difficult to recover.
    Hope this works for others!

  • HT201302 how to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer

    How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

    Hi, Shahmeer23c
    iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
    Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
    Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
    Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
    Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
    Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards. 
    Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • HT4918 contacts are missing from my address book on my mac but are on my ipad, both have icloud

    contacts are missing from my address book on my mac.  they remain on my ipad.  I have synced my ipad.   i have removed contacts from address book on my mac and then re added them.  still missing.  how do i fix this

    Start by answering the questions.
    Picking up old contacts where - are you referring to the email address autofill feature when addressing an email?
    Did you transfer the backup for your old iPhone to your new iPhone?
    Are you accessing an email account on your iPhone that provides over the air syncing for contacts such as a Yahoo account, Gmail account, or a MobileMe/iCloud account?
    I am seeing contacts that I know are at least a year old, and current contacts in my Macs address book are not being sync'd up.
    Does this mean syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac is not selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, has this ever been selected with your new iPhone? Deslecting this after it was selected does not remove contacts from your iPhone.

  • Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

    If the file was also on a mac, then there was a local copy of the file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents.  If you use Time Machine or any other backup program on your computer, then try restoring the file(s).  Similarly the same thing would be done on a PC, but I'm not sure where the icloud local copies are kept.

  • UCM 11g File missing from search result although file is accessable

    When I do search without any criteria in UCM 11g, some files missing from search result although I know the files were checked into UCM already since I'm able to see these files using url similar to:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=GET_FILE&dID=12345
    or use following url to get document information:
    http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=DOC_INFO&dID=12345
    the file is not in the search resule even search by ID.
    also, the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    Is this a known problem? the same search was working in UCM 10 perfectly.
    Thanks

    The query seems able to retrieve the missing document. for example, I search by content ID, in the audit log (eanbled as you mentioned) give th efollowing information:
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     --- @ResultSet SearchResults ---
    fusionappsattachments/6     09.13 06:22:03.878     IdcServer-3474     numFields=66,*numRows=1*,currentRow=0
    also, the infomation following above give the deteail field information which match with the missing document.
    I looks like UCM just did not bring it to UI as part of search result.
    This seems match with my another finding as I mentioned earlier: the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
    it seems query did find the documents but UI did not show it.
    Not sure if this is a known bug.

    Any ideas anyone?

    not sure what's happened to my computer but I can no longer install programs or updates for programs as I get the message "files missing from install directory"
    How did they get corrupt in the first place?

    any advice?

    that can be a problem with your windows.. your OS..
    rebuilding your OS should be able to fix it.
