HT201210 I picked a contact to make a call and lost 134 contacts!

I recently lost all contacts after I made a call. I had not yet created a cloud back up. Any idea how this happened. I can't retrieve any contacts.

Hi,
Full instructions to Import one or more contacts (from a file other than a vCard) are given in Contacts' Help menu.
Search, then choose as shown, then scroll down to see the heading listed above. You will need to start by setting up yout Numbers file to match the description given in the article, then Exporting it to a CSV file.
Regards,
Barry

  • HT203216 I just went to make a call and all my contacts vanished.  HELP!

    I just went to make a call and noticed that all of my contacts have vanished.  Does anyone know how to recover them? 

    You didn't answer my question - what service are you synching your contacts to?   Under Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - what accts do you have?   Is Contacts enabled?

  • IPhone 6 Plus cannot make outgoing calls and cannot send text messages

    I haven't been able to make outgoing calls and outgoing messages through my iPhone6+ since yesterday.
    I have done research and have tried suggestions like turning the phone into airplane mode, turning off the iPhone, re-setting the network settings, erased all the content of my iPhone and restored backup, erased all contents and used as new phone but I still cannot make outgoing calls nor can I send test messages. At first I thought I did not have sufficient money on my sim card however when I tried my simcard on another iPhone, it worked perfectly. I also tried another simcard on my iPhone, but it still can't make a call. I have never had this problem since I got my new iPhone6+ last December. This is the first time I've had a problem like this with an iPhone and I've been using the iPhone since iPhone 4s,iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Could there be something wrong with the unit that I have? Is there any other troubleshooting I could do?

    If you restored the device as new and it did not work, then I suggest you contact your carrier. The function of phone calls and SMS messages is a carrier function. They would need to test your account. Your only other option would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device examined.
    Can you receive a call and/or message? If so, then I would suspect the SIM and the carrier.

  • I have one iPhone 8GB. after making upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use the iPhone. There's no service! doesn't acept the code PIN! it only make emergency calls and the image in the phone is to conect to iTunes.What can i do?

    I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

    Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
    If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
    If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messages. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

    I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

  • SIRI finds the correct number, makes the call and then immediately disconnects.

    If I use Siri to make a call the system usually finds the correct number then makes the call and then immediately disconnects. This is really frustrating.
    I have a 2010 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara with a Pioneer system with built-in bluetooth. 
    Does anyone know how to fix this? 
    BTW the phone works well with a hyundai i30.
    I never had this problem with my Blackberry

    That's interesting. Try saying "Call Mobile" instead of just "Mobile". If you're still having trouble, try hard booting your phone holding down Power + Home until the device reboots.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Alicia.
    What do you mean by try to restore, if you do this through iTunes you can't use the phone while you do it.

  • I cant make phone calls and have a full network coverage. I can browse internet, receive sms, mms, mails but each call ends after first try! It doesnt even ring ! Help

    Nothing was wrong on their side. I have restored the phone. It is working now. Weird ...

  • Can't make FXO calls, and receiving calls has no sound

    An issue started today where I can't make or receive calls using FXO ports (POTS lines).  I tested the cable going into the FXO ports and the lines work fine making calls. 
    When I call the number of one of the FXO lines in the UC320, the SPA303 rings properly, but when picked up, there is no sound on either side.  When the SPA303 hangs up, the caller phone call ends 20 seconds later.
    When trying to dial out, there is no dial tone, and the call eventually hangs up.  I'm using very old firmware, but there were no changes made that should affect the UC320. 
    I've tried FXO Impedence Testing, but nothing happens, it just says "Test Running" and the phone number doesn't get a call. 
    My network does not have the UC320 as a firewall pointing to the internet, so the time and date is way off, but this hasn't caused any issues. 

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    From your description, it sounds as if your device itself has somehow failed. My opinion is that your formal support channel is what you need to use -- via your carrier.
    Good luck!

    Dear brothers
    Thanking you so much to be interested about my answer but what I figured out is as long as you bought your iPhone from gulf or Arabian area it will not has face time application cause I think apple has made special software for Arabian areana to privent facetime according to special request by phone cells companies and one of my friends has told me if you want to make sure that your iPhone not for Arabian areana you should check the model number on your iPhone backside if it ends with 29 it means it's for Arabian countries if other numbers it's gonna be for US. Or Hongkong so it's ok
    That's all I could know if you have another solution just please let me know
    Thanks for all answers

  • Can I make a call and surf the internet with my iPhone?

    Hi,  I've been a Apply user for some time and have the fringe of switching away from Verizon when the iPhone 6 comes out.   I currently have a 4 and have been waiting for a larger screen for some time.   Are there any i5 users out that that can help answer this question?  I am really looking for a yes it can or no it still can't kind of response.

    Hi, I finally have my answer to this question.   With my recent purchase I found out that Verizon does allow data and voice at the same time but with a twist.  Verizon only allows data and voice on the LTE bandwidth and not the 3g or lower.  If you are in a area that does not support LTE then you are stuck with Voice only and not both.
    For me this is still poor but it is a step in the right direction.
