I am missing some of my contacts after upgrading to iOS 6

I am missing some of my contacts in my iphone4 after upgrading to iOS 6. They are still in the memory but how to retrieve them.

What do you mean "they are still in the memory"?  What memory?
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6). 
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.

    Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

  • HELP!! Lost some of my contacts after update to iOS 7.1.2

    I lost most of my contacts after updating to iOS 7.1.2 last night!  I can't see the contact in my contact list but when I text/call they are there...what is going on and how do I restore this to see all contacts?

    It never happened to me, but try to Reset the iPhone by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears and ignore the red slider.

    Try to connect your iphone in computer, in itune restore the iphone as a new one. (it worked for me)

  • "Artists" category is missing on iPod Touch Music after "upgrading" to iOS 6

    After "upgrading" my iPod Touch to the "latest and greatest" iOS 6, Music no longer has an "Artists" category. Instead, it's been replaced by a second "Albums" category. Yes, that's right - I now have two "Albums" buttons in Music, instead of an "Artists" button and an "Albums" button. Is this just a glitch on my device, or is this a bug in iOS 6? I don't see how something so obvious could have slipped through product development and testing.

    That is probably a glitch. Try a hard reboot by holding down the home and power buttons at the same time until you see the black screen with the Apple logo. Then release the buttons. If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod.

  • Lost contacts after upgrading to IOS 8.1.2

    Just upgraded to latest IOS on my iphone 4s. To my dismay all my contacts are gone! I am desperate to get them back. My phone was backed up to the cloud, I assume they are retrievable there, however I can't get into my account as it says" your account has been disabled due to security reasons". When I ask for new password to be sent, it does not send to any emails that I currently have, I can't think of where it is going. As for security questions, that is not working either. I was on the phone with apple techs ( 3 of them) and they say they can't reset my email? I don't get it? All i need is to have my password reset...
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your contacts may well return once you are able to log into your iCloud account.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • I can't access my contacts after upgrading to IOS 5

    During the syncronization it appers: The iTunes can't sync contacts in Iphone because contacts is being used by Iphone. Then shows me the legend "Close the contacts configuration in iPhone an sync again".
    The problem is that contacts configuration is closed and I can't even open it in iPhone. Does anyone can help me?

    Try to connect your iphone in computer, in itune restore the iphone as a new one. (it worked for me)
    Or delete your contacts app from iphone and sync again.

  • How can i retrieve my lost contacts after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

    I just upgraded to to the iOS 5.1.1 and a few hours later all my contacts disappeared.  I tried to restore through iTunes but that did not work.  - UPDATE as I am writing this.  I got through to Apple Customer Service and because I had selected the option to backup to my computer (iMac 10.5.8) it was actually saving all my contacts to my "address book" app.  Since I never used that application I didn't even think to look there.  I just re-synced my contacts selecting "all contacts" and I was back in business. 

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer!    You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone.  As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses.  Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation.  Is that what you were wanting to know?

  • Why can't I add or edits contacts after upgrading to ios 5?

    I just updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 this past weekend.  Today when I went to add a phone number from my Recent Calls to an existing contact, it let me get as far as the actual contact, but wouldn't let me save the change.  I then went into Contacts directly and found that I could not add or edit contacts.  Does anybody have any advice?

    I turned off all the iCloud functions and got this problem. Only way to get rid of it was to go into iCloud settings and DELETE the iCloud account. Somehow turning of contacts in iCloud disables the add/edit contact function which must be a bug!
