HT1766 Phone keeps dropping contacts--how can I recover these??

There is no rhyme or reason as to which contacts it drops nor can I locate these in the phone anywhere. It is irritating when I do not have a phone number that I think I should have stored in the phone. Anyone else have or had problems with this and if so, how did you fix it? How do I even go back to original contact list and copy that to my iphone?? Using iPhone 5 with current update and have all Apple products connected via the cloud. Thank you.

This problem solved by referring to "My contacts have gone missing on my iPhone 5" and using the suggested solution there--it worked very well and contacts are back.

    Did you restore your backup?  That should restore your camera roll photos.

  • HT203167 i cannot find any trace in my itunes account of numerous audiobooks that i have bought in the last year. how can i recover these. they are in my purchase history but not in my collection.

    i cannot find any trace in my collection of audiobooks that i have purchased over numerous months. they appear in my purchase history but are nowhere to be found in my itunes . how should i recover these ?

    If you can't find the files in the iTunes folder on your hard drive, then you'll need to restore them from your backups. Audiobooks have not at this time been licensed for re-downloading from the iTunes Store.

  • My phone keeps dropping calls what can i do to fix this?

    My phone is dropping calls, and having trouble downloading apps over the 3G.

    The first thing I'd try is resetting the phone. Press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. The iPhone 5 also has a sleep button replacement program. If you have one with the bad button that may also be causing the problem.

  • My previous ipod touch quit working and I lost all the songs I had purchased on it. How can I recover these songs if I can't sync the iPod?

    I had a 1st Gen iPod Touch that quit working on me. I had 30-40 songs on it that I had purchased from the iTunes App that I didn't sync back to my computer. How do I recover those lost songs so I can put them on my new iPod?

    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Hi, I lost some of my keynote documents during manage storage in icloud. How can i recover these documents in icloud so I can back it up to my ios devices? Because they were erased fro icloud itself! Thanks

    How can I retrieve the lost data that I erase it accidentally from my icloud during manage storage of icloud? 

    I'm not sure you can unless you have a Mac with a back up.
    Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

  • TS4605 Contacts, on another device linked to my iCloud account, were deleted and in turn deleted the contacts on my phone also. How can I recover these contacts?

    I bought a new iPhone5c and downloaded my information to it from my iCloud account. After activating this phone, I gave my daughter my old iPhone4. I did not know that phone was still linked to my iCloud account so when she deleted the contacts on the iPhone4 and replaced them with her own, it did the same to my current iPhone5c. I need to know if/how I can get those contacts back.

    If they were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • Icloud has deleted my Numbers documents. How can I recover these?

    I have two spreadsheets in Numbers that I have been using for several months. I opened Numbers the other day and all my documents are gone. They are not in icloud either. This concerns me. I thought icloud was supposed to "back up" all my documents. Now I'm concerned that I might lose pictures, contacts and other information. If anyone knows how I can recover the documents please let me know. This has me baffled. This happened before the recent update.

  • I have deleted all pictures that were in trash; how can I recover these files?

    my kids might have deleted all the pictures and videos from my mac book; I was cleaning my mac and emptied the trash without checking the details and lost all the pictures and videso. Please advise if there is a way I can recover/restore these files, without shelling a lot of money for purchasing third party tools.

    Buy a couple backup drives. Clone your drive(s) with Carbon Copy Cloner, gives you a bootable backup / can archive files as well. And to be redundant you want two backup sets. So have at least one TimeMachine backup running also.

    But, the more you use your system the less likely to find any. And you do need a drive to recover to.
    Time to go shopping for one or two disk drives at minimum. Say USB3 or something. Try Amazon for bare drives and cases. Try OWC for kits.

  • HT201272 How can i recover my purchased itunes movies on ipad?

    I have deleted purchased movies from my ipad. How can ik recover these movies?

    If you are in a country where films can be re-downloaded and they aren't from studios that don't allow it and the films are still in the store then they should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app. If they don't then have you got copies of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you could resync to the iPad ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (assuming that they are still in the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Soundbooth "generic error", recover lost files, huge file lost, how can I recover them?

    Hello, I am using Soundbooth CS5 on Windows 7.  I have been editing this .asnd file for some time. I have been saving and editing and saving and opening each day.  However, today, I went to open it, and got "generic error".  The entire file will not open.  Also, when I checked on its properties, it said it was only 2kb, where in fact it was huge with multiple other files in it.  Those files, by the way? They are all missing too.  It isn;t a virus.  I opened the file in the morning, it was fine, did work, saved it, never turned off the computer, came back later, opened it again to do work, then it gave me the error.  Plus, all of the subfiles disappeared as well.
    How can I recover these lost files, because I dilligently save. Where would they be stored? How can I find them?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, iCloud notes are not included in backups, because they are synced between devices, this means you won't be able to restore them.

  • How can I recover pics that were deleted/emptied from the trash?

    I deleted a folder that was named incorrectly, and it turned out to be the bulk of my photos. How can I recover these files if the trash was emptied. This is years of pictures.

    Your back up?
    Other than that... File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • After a Windows 7 crash I lost all folders under Local Folders on Thunderbird 24.5.0; how can I recover them?

    I had a crash on my Windows 7 Home Premium and after that was resolved, all my folders under "Local Folders" in my Thunderbird ver. 24.5.0 disappeared! I have 6 accounts but they were not affected and all my emails are there. However I had many folders under Local Folders with very important business messages, but they are not there anymore. I found one of the main folders in my profile, under "Mail" but it contains only a very few sub-folders. How can I recover these folders and where are they now?

    What exactly happened in between the 'crash' and ' that was resolved'?
