I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me?
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

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:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them
I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts. How can I find them?
There are two likely answers:
1. Your iPhone has too much storage being used. Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
2. If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud). You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now. -
I REALLY NEED HELP PEOPLE I LOST MY ENTIRE CONTACT LIST AND NOW I CANT LOCATE THEM AND ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THEM BACK PLEASE HELP
What were you syncing your contacts with? iCloud? MS Exchange? Gmail? Yahoo? A contact app on your computer? If the answer is "none of the above" the only hope is to restore the most recent backup of your phone from either your computer or iCloud.

I've updated my iphone 5 and have lost all contacts' where can i find them?
i/ve lost contacts after updating to ios6' what can i do?
If you dutifully backed up the phone prior to the update, be it on the iCloud or on a computer, merely resync the data back in.
If you did not, you can now start contacting your friends/family/acquaintances, cause the data originally on the phone is GONE. -

Need help with loops! Where can I find them?
I have garageband '09 and when I go through my loops, over half of them are missing. That is to say they are labeled and there is a list of them, but only half work, The rest of them are see-through text and wont play music. It has said I could get them back with a software update but it always comes back that everything is up to date. im wondering if they might be in a folder and garageband doesnt know of that folder as where to look or what. Any Ideas please??

since getting my new phone i had to send it out for repair. after only 2 weeks of having the phone. i got a loner phone and restored my phone to the loner, but than a few days after getting this loner phone my phone started deleting my contacts. i couldn't find them and i know i had them. than i turned off my iCloud for contacts thinking that would help. it never. my phone started deleting numbers as i would use them, like i would select a contact message them than right after i hit send that contact got deleted. i figured it was just the loner phone, but since getting my phone back and restoring it it too is deleting my contacts. any way to stop this and get my contacts back?
It appears that you are using iCloud to sync your contacts, is that correct? Other than turning off iCloud for contacts and then turning it back on again, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Treo 680: Typedown contacts search problem: can't find anything after S
I recently purchased an unlocked GSM Treo 680 to replace a stolen Treo 650 (which replaced a 600, which replaced another 600, etc.). I loaded all my data on to it. However, when I do a typedown search in Contacts, it refuses to find any entries which (alphabetically by last name) occur after my friend "Catherine Simmonds". Even if their first name begins with an earlier letter of the alphabet, it doesn't find them. I can reach their entries by doing a lot of scrolling in the full list, but no other way.
However, if I make a change of some sort to the contacts database, it does find them - for one search only. If I back up (delete a letter) on the search or cancel and do a new search, it stops being able to find them again. I've tried deleting some contacts, including the two either side of the "break", to see if they are corrupt in some way or if it's the number of contacts (I have about 420), but that doesn't seem to make a difference. At all times, I can find the contacts using the global search tool - although the 680 seems to have stopped the previous practice of starting global searches with the current database, which means it's often the second screen before the contact shows up.
I run Ubuntu Linux 8.04, and am using jpilot as my sync software.
To me, particularly given the intermittent nature of the thing and the ability to make it work temporarily by making changes to the Contacts database, this has all the marks of a software bug. Is it a known issue? Has anyone else seen it? Is there a fix?
I'm using software version TREO680-2.12-ROW, Firmware R01.92. Please let me know if there's more information I can provide.

Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)What exactly do you mean by starting again?
Previously, I restored a backup and then synced to get all data since the backup. I could certainly do that again. But I don't want to go all the way back to the backup only, because I'd lose all the data between then and now.
jpilot, my sync software, won't let me sync on to a completely blank Treo. It tells me that I have to restore a backup first as a base. So I'm not sure if I'm able to restore the PIM data without restoring everything.
I think it's unlikely to be an incompatible application because the problem is with a shipped Palm app. But you know more about Palm OS than me.
But I'll have a play around and let you know how far I get.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.
When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? -
I need to Sync/change my iPhone contacts but I can't select "Selected Groups"...?
This is what worked for me. Turned off icloud on iphone and computer. Logged into my icloud account at icloud.com via my web browser and deleted all of my contacts and calendars. I was then able to select selected contacts and selected calendars in iTunes.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events. -
Need to sync contacts from an old Desktop address book on Bold 9650
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes!
I have a user with a Bold 9650 that has two Desktop address books on their device:
- 1 from the old enterprise activation at a previous company that we saved and restored
- 1 from the current activation that is correctly syncing with Exchange
For the old one, they want to pull in about 800 contacts sitting there and get them syncing with Exchange.
Quesiton is how do I do this? I can't seem to back up the book and restore it over the current, and I can't otherwise seem to access it in a way to do this. I know there must be a way, so any hints would be great!
Desktop 6 is installed on their system, and I do have admin access to the BES Server, etc if need be.Hard Reset the new Treo so it's completely erased. Perform a HotSync, and when Palm Desktop asks you to "Create a New Account, or use an Existing One?" choose "Existing" and pick the HotSync name of your old data.
