  • Lost contact list after software upgrade

    I just updated software to iOS 7.1.1, and now I have no contact list.  Icon is there, but there are only a couple of Facebook contacts.  Never had those in my Contacts before.  Any suggestions on how to recover my old contact list?

  • How can i retrieve my old email and contacts lists after software update?

    After updating the sfotware on my 3gs phone, i have lost all my contacts, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
    Has the device been used as designed?  If so, simply re-sync them.
    Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

    Can anyone advise me if it is possible to retrieve my messages from my phone after software update?
    I have tried 'some' recovery software but they do not recognise the 'phone' as a part of my pc.
    Has anyone had similar issues?

    If you didn't make a backup before updating, all data is lost.

  • Lost CONTACT list after SIM card change requested by operator

    Dear All, this is my first post, so please bear with me.  I am recurring to this forum to ask for HELP on an issue that is really annoying, specially after spending over an hour with a BlackBerry Support Person who tried many steps to solve the issue without any luck [it was obvious this person did not have the technical expertise to handle the problem at hand].  Here's the story:  Last week I received on the mail a new SIM card with a letter indicating I had to replace my "old" SIM card with this new one, after receiving a text message from the operator.  On Friday I received the SMS and proceeded with the change.  Prior to exchanging SIM Cards, I asked the Call Center Agent if this would cause any problems with my 8520 BB.  The answer was NO, all the configuration info remains on the device, and not on the SIM card.  Well, this was not the case and some applications lost their configuration: email and contacts. Curiously, the BBM service was unaltered.  So I would like to know how can I get back my Contact List? (the email service was quickly and easily reconfigured).  Apparently my old Contact list is somewhere in the Device's memory... but a New Contact List has been created after the SIM Card change.  I know this because when I press the Call History, all the contacts' info is available ... but when pressing the Contacts Address I can only see 1 contact.  Any ideas???? Thank You All.

    This is a fun little (and I mean little) problem. Let's walk through it here.
    1) Some applications lost email and contact configurations.
    A) I'm not entirely sure what you mean in particular as far as the email problem goes. Were the e-mails still set up, but you weren't receiving them? Most likely because the new SIM card contained a new ID number. If you were to go to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Tables, press the menu button, and hit Register...that should fix your problem there.
    2) BBM Service was unaltered. 
    A) This is because the BBM service is reliant on the PIN number unique to your device (not your SIM card).
    3) Lost contact list, but still showing in the call history.
    A) Your call history is just data stored on the device, the only time your contact history is access when sending and making a call is just a simple check to see if you have the information stored already to match a name to it. The data stored in history is it's own entity. I explained this in a slightly confusing manner, but it's slightly irrelevant.
    It's entirely possible that your contact list was stored on your SIM card and not to your device. Try this out:
    -Insert your old SIM card into your phone
    -Open up your contacts and hit the menu button
    -Scroll down and select "SIM Phone Book"
    -Here you should see the list of contacts if they were truly stored on your SIM and not your phone.
    -Hit the menu button again, and choose "Copy all to Contacts"
    Once the process is complete,  you may reinsert the new SIM card and continue on using the phone as normal.
    Hope this helps!
    Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

I hope there is a simple fix for this any help gratefully received thanks
    Graham

    What happens when you try to sync? Error messages?
    Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Missing contacts after software update

    Contacts in iphone 4S disappeared over night after software update.  It is only showing contacts from my social sites such as facebook.

    Did you back up to the cloud, itunes, or email (like hotmail) before you updated?  If so, they are easily recoverable.  If not, then bye bye.

    Hello,
    I have a iPod touch 4g,last time when I paired with my friends iPhone it showed his iPhone's name along with devices connected earlier in the bluetooth list after I updated my software to ios 5.1 the names of friends devices appear as D1:FG:12:13:AK something like that and all the other previously connected devices appear in this same form in the bluetooth list how do I fix this back and it is confusing to connect to a device with no name but some unknown Bluetooth address so how do I find the device name back????
    SO PLEAZZZZZ HELP!!!!!

    An iPod can only pair with an iPhone for internet sharing provided that the iPhone has the subscribed to the tethering plan. The BT profiles do not permit file tansfer between IDevices by BT. The only BT pairsin is by app and those ar for peer-to-peer gaming.

  • HT5824 my contact list does not update to its current state. After I sync to Itunes or after I back up to I cloud  Also I did a doccuments and data restore and it still didnt change. How do I fix this?

    My contact list does not update to its current state after I sync it to itunes or back it up to icloud  I did a documents and data reset and the contact list still didnt change.. How do I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • A big deal of data lost after software update

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone will look into this problem. I have seen also here other reports of losing data after software update.
    I have a Nokia N73 Music Edition. Before I updated the firmware, I used Nokia PC Suite to backup all data in the phone memory as well as the phone settings. After a successful update, I tried to restore the backup. No error occured during the restoration. However, I found out many things hadn't been brought back to my phone, such as messages, notes, as well as landmarks that I saved in Nokia Maps.
    I want to know what is going on and if there is any hope to get back those lost pieces. Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Wei

    Sorry if your husband didn't backup your phone either to iTunes or icloud prior to updating your phone, then those data is gone.

  • Restoring contacts after software update

    After software update i accidently clicked something like "treat as new iphone" instead of "use existing settings". Now I can synch programs and music but my contacts are gone. Is there a possibility to restore them?

    Unless you have been syncing your contacts with an app on your computer (Outlook, Mail) or cloud (MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, Exchange) as you should have, the contacts are permanently gone.

  • I lost all my contact list after i deleted the me accout from my mail list.How can i recover the contact list ?

    Hi, kindly let me know if i can recovered my contact list after i deleted "mobile Me (which has been expired) account form my I-phone list

    The contacts should be available in a supported address book app for syncing contacts with a former MobileMe and now with an iCloud account. This has been in the works for a year and you should have received an email - several emails about MobileMe going away and how to make the switch to a freeiCloud account.

  • ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

    Ok I’m completely lost here....
    I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
    What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
    Checked my internet connection
    Changed my internet connection
    Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
    Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
              Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
              Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
              Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
              Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
              Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
    Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
    start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
    Rebooted
    Checked the parental controls in iTunes
    Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
    Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
    When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file  start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added  "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
    If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well. 

    im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

  • Hi, when ever I'm using 3G, on my Iphone4 sim stops working and Network is lost, this started after I updated my phone with  6.0.1(10A523)version. Please help how to solve this problem.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

  • Stuck in Restart Loop after Software Update

    I recently ran the update to 10.5.3 a few days ago, and thankfully, it's been working great... until today, when I installed two seemingly innocuous updates via Software Update: one for the latest version of Quicktime and another for Apple Brother Print Drivers 1.1. After restarting, everything fell apart. Several of my start-up apps unexpectedly quit after login, and other apps either failed to launch when I tried opening them, or they simply got stuck in an endless loop of bouncing in the dock. I couldn't even force-quit them because they weren't responding at all. Thinking this strange behavior to be symptoms of some permissions issue, I popped in the Leopard installation CD and ran a permissions repair. It fixed several cryptic problems, one for something to do with Java and another for the cups folder, which I assume has some relation to the printer driver update. I then tried selecting my start-up disk and restarting, but the problem only got worse. Now my iMac is stuck in a restart loop. I tried booting in safe mode, but that hasn't worked. If worse comes to worst, I'll have to revert to a Time Machine backup, or else run an Archive & Install, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions? I'm also curious to know if these two updates had any relevance to these problems, and if so, what the cause may be. I'm thinking the printer driver is to blame, but then again that's only a stab in the dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a Safe Boot again but unfortunately that didn't work, so I had to go ahead and do an Archive & Install. Now everything is up and running; however, I'm going to stay away from that print driver until I figure out exactly what went wrong. I did a little research and saw it listed on MacUpdate.com, where it was posted along with an interesting note: apparently, the update can only be applied if there is already a Brother print driver installed (in this case there was), and in addition to that, the printer must either be connected (and I assume on for the computer to know it's connected in the first place) or have an active print queue for the update to even be listed in Software Update. Strangely enough, neither of these conditions held true when I saw it in Software Update... so I think that might have been the cause, but I can't be sure. I was wondering if anyone else has installed this update successfully, and if so, what they did?
    Thanks again for the suggestions.
