I just looked at my phone and ALL of my contacts were deleted?

All of my contacts and notes were suddenly deleted. I didn't do anything? How to do I fix it

I appreciate your thanks, and your attempt to award the solution to me, but you awarded it to yourself.

I just downloaded Maverick last week, and ALL of my contact groups have duplicated. When I use one to send a group e-mail, everything is doubled in the address bar. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

Hello Joannah,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicates in Contacts after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I would be frustrated by this too.
If you have enabled iCloud Contacts, I recommend following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Resolving duplicate Contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts

If you’re not using iCloud, I recommend this article instead:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

Kevin-
You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad? Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well. I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

After I installed the new OS, all of my contacts were deleted!

All of my contacts were gone.
All of my stored texts.
All of my stored voice mails.
And my phone was updated to 4G from 3G.
There was no warning that this would happen. Can anyone help?
Retrieving my contacts is the most troublesome part of this! I went into the AT/T store, and they said that Icloud was turned off on my phone, and I would need to call Apple directly. HELP!
Thanks.

Again, we took it to an AT/T store...which means that they checked our backup/ICloud...they said it had been turned off. This is so frustrating.
Any advice besides calling Apple?

My phone just updated to 6.0 and all of my contacts are gone. How do I retrieve them?

Hello I am a new iphone user and this morning I selected we to the new 6.0 systems upgrade. I have lost all of my contacts. I still have all of my information on my calendar. Is there a way to retrieve my conacts... Please help!

All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
Thanks

I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

HT201269 I've just got a new phone and all my music from my old phone isn't working.

The list of available music is shorter, for a start, so I don't know where it's all gone. But even the songs that are there won't play. When I push play, it just skips past as if there's no file to read. And then the same for the next song and the next.... It won't play any song in the list.
What's going on and how do I fix it?

With a new device you need to apply some sync settings as in your case it would be music. The link below can provide you with some info on this:

Once sync settings have been applied your iPhone should sync data automatically based on the settings that have been applied.
Hope this helps

HT1386 I synced my old ipod with my new one, and all of my photos were deleted. I really want them back. What can I do?

I really want my pictures back!!!

You need to restore the iPod from the backup of the old one. The will restore photos taken by or saved to the iPod. If the photos were synced to the iPod those have to be synced to the iPod since they are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

Unfortunately there's no way to get back the contacts you deleted unless he backed them up somewhere else. He'll just have to recreate them. This happened because you are both syncing contacts with a shared iCloud account. When you do this, the synced data is merged and any actions you take on one phone (such as deleting contacts) is also reflected on the other. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). To do this, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to your new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

I want to set up 5 different ipods to sync from one library, but want to be able to control what is synced to each ipod and have it remember that for future synching and just look for new songs and not sync all the other music in the library

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings. Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc. Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?
