Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

Hey kaylactm,
Thanks for the question. I understand how frustrating this may be. To resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your device in recovery-mode:

Check your email on icloud.com from your computer. Is it still there?

The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab. As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately. This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.
Cheers

Synced phone for the first time, and all my contacts are gone. Please help

I had to upgrade the iOS to 5. And all of the contacts are gone. Is there a way to recover them?

How did you get the contacts loaded onto the iPhone in the first place?
If you used iTunes that would imply the "source" of contacts was either on your computer (e.g. Outlook) or perhaps through a one-time upload from an e-mail service like GMail. In either case, your contacts should (might) still be where they were when you originally put them onto your iPhone.
If all your contacts were manually entered into the iPhone, then you're out of luck since they are not backed up, unless you set iCloud up to sync your contacts (in which case they'd still be in iCloud).

I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

I just updated to iOS5 and all my contacts are gone!

I updated to iOS 5 and before it applied the update it said "Backing up Marc's iPhone".
After the update, I went to load back my contacts and it says: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "Marc's iPhone" because the backup session failed.
It would have been nice to mention that at the time, before I lost all the content.
I can see no way back from this.
I've gone back to another backup, and that says the same thing. Apparently, all my sessions have been quietly failing.
So, assuming I can actually source them again, I now have to type in around 300 contacts, by hand, one at a time.
I will never buy another Apple product.

I've backed up and restored contacts before, and it's been fine.
But since the IOS 5 "upgrade", it seems that things don't work so well.
I can't restore from the backup that the update took, nor from older backups.
As luck would have it, I remembered that I tried syncing contacts to Google a while back, so I've recovered *some* items from there by setting up the sync again (iOS/iTunes had managed to lose it, along with all my email accounts etc). Google also lets you export your contacts to a CSV file, which is a bonus.
I'm not sure about why some contacts were synced to Google and others not, I'll look into that later.
All my photos are lost, apparently forever.
Next time I buy a phone, it will be one where I can just drag'n'drop to copy files. Probably Android- I'll certainly not buy another Apple product.
I'm curious about some of what you say: why go through the setup ON THE PHONE? What difference does it make?
I'm reluctant to do anything much more interesting now- it seems that I can no longer trust iTunes (never liked it much, I have to say: I don't find it at all intuitive).

I went to make a phone call today and all my contacts are gone - poof!

I need to recover them as they were not in itunes or anywhere else. Some of them were in my phone only. They were copied into my iphone 2 years ago from my flip phone. There are contacts in there from 5 + years ago.
HELP!!!

FYI:
The same identical thing happened to me on a new iPhone 4S. Call came in, name & number showed on the screen, hit answer, screen went black, phone turned off. Turned it back on, all contacts were gone. But, it was simple for me to restore them. Point being, this stuff can/does happen to anyone, and at anytime. That's why you have redundant backups.

TS1347 I just updated my iphone, and all my contacts are gone. What can I do?

sync your phone to itunes then sync your contacts. Or restore from backup.

HT1688 Deleted my mobile account and all my contacts are gone. What do I do?

I deleted my Mobile Me account today. It was only the mail account that I delted. I lost all of my contacts. What do I do?

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back

After I upgraded my iPhone to iOS5, I had an error with iCloud setup and all my contacts are gone. Is there a way to get it back?

My iPhone froze when it was doing the initial setup of iCloud on iOS5

I take it you didn't read the warning prior to updating the phone. It said that you need to backup before upgrading. You have two ways. 1) load apps off your old computer. 2) Download apps one at a time. Your apps are still tide to your account and you will not be charged.

HT5625 My setting icon is gone and all my contacts are gone and cant sign in to any mail and icloud what do i do?

Did you backup as part of the update?

Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

Moved to iCloud and ALL iCal entries are gone
