I have just updated to iOs 5 software and have lost all my contacts! apps etc have restored but no numbers! please help!

i updated my phone and have lost all my contacts i have restored and all my apps are back but no contacts! help!

What application were you syncing your contact to before you updated? Check the settings on the info tab and sync them back.
If you were NOT syncing them to an application (Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, Address Book on a Mac), you can try forcing a restore from your backup again. If they don't come back, they are most likely gone.

    i just updated to the iOS 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • HT4972 I did the software update on my iphone to iOS and have lost all my contacts.  How can i retrieve them? Please help

    Please help me, i have lost all my contacts during a software update and have no idea how to retrieve them.

    If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been keeping your contacts safe on your computer in Outlook or Address Book, or safe with a cloud service like Google. 
    Your contacts should be there safe and sounds ready to synch back to your iPhone.
    Not using your phone as recommended and only using your phone as the sole place for contacts?  Well, you've just learned a hard lesson.  They're gone.

  • After this latest update to iOS 6, FaceTime and my WiFi network is not working for my iPhone 4S, could you please help me on what to do? I have already reset my network (which made it worst)

    Could you please help me to fix my iPhone 4S
    After the latest update we've had to iOS 6, I was not able to use FaceTime, it kept giving me an error that I was supposed to wait for an activation code which never arrived, after that I read many solutions which included resetting the networks, which I did to try and fix my problem. What this actually did was to break my network settings an now it doesn't recognize any wifi signal unless I have the router next to me and even the it is difficult.
    Now I don't have FaceTime or access to wifi with my iPhone!
    Please help me!

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    I have just updated to IOS 7.04 and my mail, calendar and notes are now blank. How do I get it back?

    it sounds like you were using iCloud. Go under Settings > iCloud and make sure the switch for Notes is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Your notes should sync up.

  • I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    Try ReSynching to iTunes.  If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC.  That should bring them back.  You can then turn on sync to cloud again. 
    You may, however, want to re-think that.  There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues.  Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
    Good Luck.

  • I just did update of software and i lost all of my picture and songs from itune which is un usual .could any one tell me how could i get iphoto working again?

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

  • TS4510 I just updated to IOS 6.1 and the Do Not Disturb stays on all the time, now what? It had been fixed a while ago.

    Mid January, I noticed my Do NOt Disturb was working again, turning off during the day. Now, I just updated to IOS 6.1 and it's on all the time, is this going to get fixed?
    thanks, Susan

    Have you deleted the account and re-added it?

  • I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    I just updated to ios 6.1 and now my cellular data is not working

    UPDATE: Ok, I just got back from the Apple store and I've performed a full restore. The good news is that the restore did allow cellular data to work again, restoring as new and restoring an iCloud backup both worked fine. I also tried everything Apple suggests on the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780 an only restoring had any effect. Even though that worked for me, I went Ahead and went to the Apple store because this problem had already occurred with me, but only intermittently (requiring frequent resets); the 6.1 update seemed to just make it more 'permanent' so to speak. after the tech tested it with a known-good SIM compared to a new iphone 5, he observed the same stalled cellular data, so my iPhone was swapped out. Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • HT1386 "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media..."  Why?

    My daughter has a 4th gen ipod touch, still on iOS 4.3.5. It wasn't updated for such a long time because I had a space shortage on the computer on which it was always updated.  I've recently increased the size of C: so now I could proceed to back up all the kids' ipods and bring them up to the latest OS.
    I backed it up and Synced onto the computer that it has always been backed up to. When I try to update it, it gives me this warning:
    "Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purcahses. on your iPod touch.  To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos."
    This *really is* the computer on which all the backups and syncs had been done, but I think that I may have corrupted the apple files when I copied the image of the old C: drive onto the new hard disk.
    The other two kids' ipod touches updated without any problems.  This third one, however has the warning above.
    How do I fix this problem?
    By the way: Quad core PC with 4GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, and iTunes 11.1.4.62.
    Thanks.

    Do the followings to not lose anything. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated
