HT1766 I lost my contacts on my iphone after updating to ios7

just using my phone, and noticed all the calls/texts I was receiving didn't have names only numbers.  So I looked in my contacts and all contact information was gone. 

Your phone is erased before it is upgraded. If you did not backup or did not restore the backup, then your data are all gone. If you have a backup you can restore it using iTunes. If you don't, then you can re-sync your data from the computer assuming you have the data in your Address Book and Calendar.

    Can you try syncing to google contacts again? 
    Do you mean that pix you took with the phone disappear after doing a sync?

  • Lost my contacts on my iphone after activating iCloud. How do I retrieve my contacts back?

    I have recently turned on iCloud on my phone, however because of it, I lost my contacts, calendar events and notes. I turned back off the notes, contacts and calendar on my phone. My calendar events and notes came back, but my contacts were never restored. How do I get my contacts back?

    Have you tried turning contacts syncing back on and then off again.

  • HT4859 lost my contacts' info on iphone after i signing onto icloud

    Hi, I lost all of my contacts' info after signing onto icloud and backing up.  Now, contact list on my iphone is blank.  How can I get the info back onto my iphone without resetting?  Thanks

    If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

    Hi jandroantonio,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:

  • Lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Help! I've lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Hi
    There are two options for you :
    1) Setup the mail which contains the contacts on your iPhone by going to Settings > Mail Contacts and Calendars > Add account and once setup is complete come back to the same path and click on your email account name and turn on contacts.
    2) Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Either of these two should fix your issue.

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • I've lost my Contacts, Messages, Photos etc after having IOS 4.3.2 installed at the Apple Store. I cannot locate previous back-up history, only the back-up after I synced the phone after it had been updated. How do I recover my previous info please?

    You should have restored the backup that was on your computer before syncing. Now it is too late. However, if you followed the instructions in the manual and set up an app on your computer to sync contacts and calendar to they will still reside in those apps. Photos in the camera roll are lost, however, if you had followed the instructions in the manual to copy photos from the camera roll to your computer regularly you can restore them to the photo app from the copy on your computer. Text messages are gone for good. Music and Apps should be in the music library on your computer.
