I have randomly lost some contacts on my iphone 5

This morning between leaving home and driving to work I have lost some contacts on my phone. How many I have lost I cannot be clear but I text my partner before I left for work and when I got to work her reply came through with just her number displayed. It no longer recognices her as a contact. When I look at other messsges it no longer recognises other poeple as contacts.
I have ramdomly lookef for other numbers in my contact list. Some still exist. Others do not...... HELP!!!
Tried to look for apple support but its a nightmare to find!!

same problem - i only have my mail (gmail) contacts on. I do not have icloud turned on for contacts because i get so many duplicates

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

I have multiple duplicate of contacts in my iPhone. Currently stand at 6000 plus

I have multiple duplicate of contacts in my iPhone. Currently stand at 6000 plus & iPad has 24,000 plus contacts. Help.

Bummer.
Sounds like you've managed to create a sync loop. Look at what you're syncing them with. Make sure you're not syncing them to a cloud service that's also syncing to an address book that's syncing to another cloud service that's syncing to the phone... etc.

Lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

Help! I've lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

Hi
There are two options for you :
1) Setup the mail which contains the contacts on your iPhone by going to Settings > Mail Contacts and Calendars > Add account and once setup is complete come back to the same path and click on your email account name and turn on contacts.
2) Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
Either of these two should fix your issue.

My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?

If you log into Icloud.com, are all your contacts correct there? If the answer is Yes, I would then turn contacts OFF on your phone, and then turn them back on. Do not merge, but replace with Icloud content.
This is usually the quickest way to edit a bunch of contacts, through the web interface.

TS1717 I have completely lost an application on my IPhone - it is still on my IPad. And, when I went back into Apps to redownload the program, it is not there. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Developers sometimes remove (or are forced to remove) their apps from the store. If you have it on your iPad, and it's compatible with the iPhone, then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes from the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone.

Lost some contacts when syncing

Hi
I just got an iPhone 4 and i sync everything from my iPhone 3. The problem is that I had 70 contacts on my last iPhone and just 59 was syncing to the new iPhone. When I noticed that, I conected iPhone 3 again to transfer the other contacts to the computer, but it removed some contacts and now I have 59 on Both. Das anyone knows how to recover those contacts that I lost?
Thank you.

Welcome to the discussions,
if you have a backup of you 3G before you lost the contacts, you could restore from that one. But as every backup replaces the old one, it has to be an iphone backup included in your computer backup routine.
You iphone backup folder is located here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 , About backups

Lost some contacts in Iphone 4

I lost some of the contacts in Iphone 4. I'm sure i haven't deleted anything, but i just can't find them. Any idea what could that be?

Depends on the type of contacts- if they are gmail or yahoo contacts make sure you haven't deleted your email account or changed your password because it is possible that these may no longer sync.
The same can be said if they are Facebook contacts.
Do you have iCloud turned on? Or recently turned off?

Lost some contact lable

Hi I have about 300 contact in my nokia 6630, in some contact I renamed the Label ( For example: Mobile Home >> OLD )Now when I synchronize with Outlook with PS Sync This contact are lost !!!
Some one can help me ??
FaaBruno

When I first got my phone in January, no contact data would sync from the computer to the phone. I started adding in contacts to the phone. Then my husband updated our windows software to Windows XP and all of a sudden I had hundreds of email addresses in my contact list. It looks like the addresses came from Outlook Express, the email software I was using at the time. I stopped using OE because I would have double email (same email on phone and OE) and started going directly to sbcglobal/yahoo via the web to get my email. I don't use OE anymore. I also don't have any place on the computer that I update my contacts. I just put the contacts on my phone.

Iphone 4.2.1 upgrade ... lost some contact details!!!

After installing the new4.2.1 on my iphone 4 i lost details and numbers of many of my contacts!!! some contacts had 2 or 3 or 4 phone numbers etc... after the software update I lost those !!! it happened too on my daughter iphone 3G when i did the same update for her phone.. please can someone tell me what's happening??

I had the same problem. Time Machine proved invaluable here. I opened up Address Book, selected "All Contacts", started up TIme Machine via Spotlight, and scrolled back to the day before I ran the 4.2.1 updater. Bada bing, all contacts restored to the address book! Simply did an iPhone sync after that and all was well again.
Still, nasty bug Apple. :-|

Why have i lost some of my projects in aperture?

When i have uploaded from my iphone, digital camera or SLR they have always uploaded into aperture. Within the last 1-2 weeks i have been told by my laptop that memory is critically low. I decided to by a WD 2TB hardrive and transfer my whole aperture content across as it had plenty space for future projects. I did this and then checked to see if the projects were all there and they were. I tranferred every association from my laptop to the hardrive and then deleted Aperture from my laptop to free up space. I deleted movies and old insignificant images aswell as old documentation and files. I then sought to use time machine to backup onto the same hardrive. But when i plugged my hardrive back into the laptop huge amounts of film and photography were no there. Photos of my new born son and my engagement were all gone. Is there anyway to retrieve this imagery?

Unfortunately, I just have some questions. The answers might help others or you figure out the problem.
1. Are your master images referenced or managed? If some are referenced, you may have just lost the connection (but it should tell you that).
2. Is your use of Time Machine only what you mentioned here or could the .aplibrary be on TM or other backup?
3. You said huge amounts were gone, but presumably not all. What would be the difference?
4. What version of Aperture are you using?
5. Did you ever make a vault?
6. How did you transfer the data vs. just moving the library and any referenced files?
If you are comfortable with doing so, you can look at the contents of your library. For Aperture 3, the data is very logically organized. Right click on the library and select Show Package Contents. You can drill down through just like Finder. Versions and Masters (assuming managed images) are organized by the date the image was taken.

I lost some contact labels?

For some reason now I don't have the contact label "iPhone" or "other" -
I had some syncing issues, was syncing with google sync and then messed up and synced via itunes and some contacts got taken off my phone but got them back and all is well now. Just noticed one that caught my eye and realized it wasn't labeled iphone anymore. then another was missing the "other" #
I have found that in Google Contacts that if a duplicate label or one not on your iphone as available (seems iphone won't let you have 2 mobiles for example) it won't sync it. I've got one contact that I have two mobile #'s for in Google and it only syncs on on iphone...
How can I get labels back?

If you are in the US and they are TV shows then you should be able to re-download them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If they are films then they are a one-time only download - in which case have you got a backup on, for example, an external drive or CD / DVD that you can copy back onto your computer ? Or have you checked whether they are still on your computer, just not in iTunes ?

Lost my contacts on my iphone 5

Lost some of my contacts on my iphone 5. Hv backed up to icloud but can't find them there too. Strangely, these are the newly added contacts..

If the contacts are no longer on icloud.com, you may be able to recover them from your iCloud backup by following the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.
