HT1688 Deleted my mobile account and all my contacts are gone.  What do I do?

I deleted my Mobile Me account today.  It was only the mail account that I delted.  I lost all of my contacts.  What do I do?

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.  Just sync them back

    The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab.  As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
    I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately.  This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.
    Cheers

  • Synced phone for the first time, and all my contacts are gone. Please help

    I had to upgrade the iOS to 5. And all of the contacts are gone. Is there a way to recover them?

    How did you get the contacts loaded onto the iPhone in the first place?
    If you used iTunes that would imply the "source" of contacts was either on your computer (e.g. Outlook) or perhaps through a one-time upload from an e-mail service like GMail.  In either case, your contacts should (might) still be where they were when you originally put them onto your iPhone.
    If all your contacts were manually entered into the iPhone, then you're out of luck since they are not backed up, unless you set iCloud up to sync your contacts (in which case they'd still be in iCloud).

  • I just updated to iOS5 and all my contacts are gone!

    I updated to iOS 5 and before it applied the update it said "Backing up Marc's iPhone".
    After the update, I went to load back my contacts and it says: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "Marc's iPhone" because the backup session failed.
    It would have been nice to mention that at the time, before I lost all the content.
    I can see no way back from this.
    I've gone back to another backup, and that says the same thing.  Apparently, all my sessions have been quietly failing.
    So, assuming I can actually source them again, I now have to type in around 300 contacts, by hand, one at a time.
    I will never buy another Apple product.

    I've backed up and restored contacts before, and it's been fine.
    But since the IOS 5 "upgrade", it seems that things don't work so well.
    I can't restore from the backup that the update took, nor from older backups.
    As luck would have it, I remembered that I tried syncing contacts to Google a while back, so I've recovered *some* items from there by setting up the sync again (iOS/iTunes had managed to lose it, along with all my email accounts etc).  Google also lets you export your contacts to a CSV file, which is a bonus.
    I'm not sure about why some contacts were synced to Google and others not, I'll look into that later.
    All my photos are lost, apparently forever.
    Next time I buy a phone, it will be one where I can just drag'n'drop to copy files.  Probably Android- I'll certainly not buy another Apple product.
    I'm curious about some of what you say: why go through the setup ON THE PHONE?  What difference does it make?
    I'm reluctant to do anything much more interesting now- it seems that I can no longer trust iTunes (never liked it much, I have to say: I don't find it at all intuitive).

  • After I upgraded my iPhone to iOS5, I had an error with iCloud setup and all my contacts are gone. Is there a way to get it back?

    My iPhone froze when it was doing the initial setup of iCloud on iOS5

    I take it you didn't read the warning prior to updating the phone. It said that you need to backup before upgrading. You have two ways. 1) load apps off your old computer. 2) Download apps one at a time. Your apps are still tide to your account and you will not be charged.

  • TS1347 I just updated my iphone, and all my contacts are gone. What can I do?

    Just updated my iphone and lost all my contacts. What do I do?

    sync your phone to itunes then sync your contacts.  Or restore from backup.

  • I went to make a phone call today and all my contacts are gone - poof!

    I need to recover them as they were not in itunes or anywhere else.  Some of them were in my phone only.  They were copied into my iphone 2 years ago from my flip phone.  There are contacts in there from 5 + years ago.
    HELP!!!

    FYI:
    The same identical thing happened to me on a new iPhone 4S. Call came in, name & number showed on the screen, hit answer, screen went black, phone turned off. Turned it back on, all contacts were gone. But, it was simple for me to restore them. Point being, this stuff can/does happen to anyone, and at anytime. That's why you have redundant backups.

  • HT5625 My setting icon is gone and all my contacts are gone and cant sign in to any mail and icloud what do i do?

    Cant sign in to iCloud 

    Did you backup as part of the update?
    You don't have them on your computer?
    Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

  • All my contacts are gone from my iphone and my address book!!

    All of a sudden, I synced my iphone with my imac as usual and all my contacts are gone out of the phone and the address book onmy computer. Help! Thanks

    Do you not maintain a backup of your important data saved to an external hard drive used for backup purposes only or to CD media?
    The Address Book application includes a simple backup database option as does iCal which is simple to restore the entire database from in the event something like this occurs.
    Do you have a .Mac account? If so, you can recover all contacts from your .Mac online address book. If not and you don't have a backup of this data available in some fashion, you are in trouble.

  • How do I recover a deleted mail account and all associated contacts?

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

  • My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

    my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

    If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged.  Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
    The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud).  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!
