I just updated my Iphone 4 to the 5 ios, now my contacts are gone. Im so upset, theyre nowhere to be found, any suggestions? I thought I backed up everything to my PC but its simply not restoring my contacts. HELP
This is such a bummer
Can anyone help me?
If you are using a Windows PC, open "my computer", click "owner", click on contacts. Are your contacts that where on your phone there?? To back up contactson your pc next time you sync, under devices in iTunes, click on your phone, then on "Info" at the top. Now check Sync Info with, and choose windows contacts. This is where mine are on a windows vista pc. Hope this helps you.

hello apple community i had just updated my iphone 4 to the newest ios version 7.0.6 and my iphone is getting no reception i don't know what to do please help me !!!!!!
Hi Shohambox,
Please the first thing you should do is to restart your device. Go the sleep wake button and hold down on it for 4-5 seconds waiting for the 'slide to shut off' message to appear. Once the device is turned off go ahead and restart the device. If this does not resolve the issue then go to the area on the front of your device to the app that reads 'settings' from settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Clicking on reset network settings will not erase any data only will reset the network settings apart of your iphone., Once the reset has completed you will then need to go back to settings to wi/fi and plug in the name and password of your wi/fi prior to using it.
Good luck, Friend. -

Hello 6underwood,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
Best of luck,

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links. -
Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.
Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you. -
(0xE800000A) my itunes account will now not connect to my iPhone, what has happened?
I updated via my laptop and always kept the latest version on there.
I may delete my iTunes and then re-install just to make sure it is the most up to date version but I am 99% sure it is.
The update for my phone has worked...it is running off the iOS6.0.1 but just without all my old data (as I didnt back it to iCloud but iTunes instead).
Also, as of about 10 minutes ago my iTunes isn't functioning properly.
Will see if re-installing iTunes helps or not, seems like my files are gone for good though.
I am getting the iPhone 5 next week, hence my last minute rush to update all software...seems to have backfired somewhat! -
I just updated my iphone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.2 and now it's stuck in a screen that has a blue music button and below that itunes and below that and arrow pointing up and below that a pic of a charging cable. Help?
If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost. Sorry, that's just too bad. But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future. -

hi all, i just updated my iphone 3gs with 5.0 ios version and now i cannot configure the iphone with it because itunes is not recognizing my iphone
Contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup. If you had read the User Guide when you got your phone, you would have learned that Apple recommends you synch your contacts for safekeeping to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service. Using the phone as your only source of your contacts is foolish as the phone can easily be lost, damaged, stolen, or the data become corrupt.
If you've been using your phone as strongly recommended, your contacts are safe and sound on your computer or cloud service ready to be synched back to your phone. Of course, you should be backing up your computer regularly as well.
If you haven't been doing this, your contacts are likely gone. -
Hellow every one. i just updated my iphone 5 with the ios7. unfortunately i experience different type of bugs...the most important one to me is that the itunes store do not open at all. i'm disappointed with this version of iOS. my itunes version is updated and my mc version is also updated
my question is: how can i make itues store to work? how can i go back to the previous version of ios?Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -
I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS6 and now my music in the cloud will not show up
I updated my iPhone 4S with the OS6 and now my music will now show up on my phone. I have abotu 11000 songs in the cloud. I can see them on my computer- they are all still there- but they don't show up on my phone at all. PLEASE HELP ME!! I am panicking just a bit.
My phone is doing the same thing, I have sprint and they went through all their troubleshooting and nothing worked. Then they transferred me to apple technician. The apple technician went through more troubleshooting and eventually suggested I wipe my phone. I wiped my phone, then using itunes and my phone I was able to get it into recovery mode. Once itunes recognized the recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to recover my iphone. I went through the whole process, and got everything back. The phones network came back unfortunately not for very long and it was back to searching for the network without me being able to call, receive calls or text. Its been going on for almost a week now since I upgraded to 7.1 and no one can fix it...I want to know how to revert back to 7.0.....

HELP! I just updated my iphone 4s to the new ios7 software, and all of my photos have disappeared!!!
Hi All,
Having a slight panic. I just updated my iphone 4s to the new software...was transferring my photos to my iphoto app on my macbook. I then realised that ALL of my recent photos (including albums) were no longer in my camera roll etc....
I cannot remember if I backed up before doing so (pretty sure I did) but I have tried using Wondershare Dr.Fone to recover them as well as searching my backup library on my macbook.
They MUST be somewhere?! Can anyone help??
I realised suddenly when all the recent 100s of photos on my iPhoto were blank...!
Bee xHey Gavinchick,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues after updating your iPhone to iOS 7.0.6. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the device:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your device with iTunes in recovery-mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If your device is not recognized in iTunes for Windows while in recovery-mode, see this article (specifically Step 4):
