I am sure I am not alone in this truble . We have to sue those guys who did such an amatural job.
It's unbelievable how they focus on design and forget the basics.

  • Lost all contacts with upgrade to iOS 6.1

    Has anyone else had this problem - upgraded earlier today to iOS 6.1 as prompted, and then later all my contacts disappeared. 
    Also followed prompts to set up iCloud syncing for the first time, but can't find contacts there either. 
    Any recommendations? 
    Thanks

    For me, this is what worked:
    I noticed the last contact I added was in the Address Book, but all others were gone or missing.
    I went to MS Outlook and ran the Sync program.  Unchecked all options.  Restarted the computer.  Made sure the iCloud stuff was turned off on the phone and restarted it too for good measure.
    When the macbook came back up when into outlook then MS Sync and turned contacts back on.  Then connected the iphone and told it to replace all contacts.  It worked.
    Good luck.  There is no one solution that seems to work for everyone, but testing different settings will hopefully get you to the point where your contacts go back onto the phone.
    Cheers

  • LOST ALL CONTACTS from Upgrade to OS5... Can I export my Contacts from MobileMe account Contacts..

    I'll try and make this as short as possible... Was doing the upgrade to OS5 (had to update new iTunes software first). Was in sync mode, and always crashed into 80% from completion, and had message - An error occurred while restoring this iphone (-20).. Long story short "ish" was I think I didn't have enough space on my start up disc.. I NOW HAVE SPACE, I'm also now running OS5, and have everything as before EXCEPT ALL of my CONTACTS dissapeared.. And for some reason my Address book on my Mac is now empty..
    My ipad, as well if I go to MobileMe has all my existing contacts, pleeeeease tell me how I can transfer them back to my iphone..
    I will be VERY VERY happy..
    Cheers Kenton

    See my answer in this thread. I hope this works for you if you're in the same situation.

  • Lost all contacts after upgrading to 8.1 on iphone 4s

    How do I regain my contacts on iphone?
    I went through itunes and followed all directions.
    When I was able to get papps back on screen most were gone.  Got them back
    but NO contacts to be found.
    Is there a way?

    At first there was no choice.  Now, there is only the choice from July backup and I'm not sure I had this phone then, but a flip phone.  I'm sire it used the old sim card.   I am on a PC.
    I tried to restore from the July backup and now can not get it to open to the apps pages.  It keeps wanting me to select the language, country,
    internet connection, etc.  It won't leave that.
    thank you for your time.  I appreciate it.

    IPhone 4S, upgraded to OS6, lost all contacts. Solution?

    I have the same problem but I have iPhone 3GS. All my other apps, Photos, Notes, Calendars, etc are there as it is BUT not my Contacts. I signed up to iClouds for the 1st time during the update to iOS6. I don't know how to download Contacts from iCloud (that too if it took a backup!)
    Pls help!

  • After upgrade I Lost all contacts

    After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

    Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service.  If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

    Backup is your best option if you have one. Reverting software will not bring the contacts back.

  • Lost all contacts after Lion

    Lost all contacts how do I get them down for icloud?

    Generally, this is caused when the index database gets corrupted. You can delete it and it will be rebuilt from the data.
    Make a backup of your Address Book using File>Export>Address Book archive.
    Then, go to the Finder and hold down option key while selecting Go menu. Choose Library.
    Navigate to your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the adressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Start Address book and your contacts should be back.
    If you are syncing with anything, you might want to turn that off while you do this.

    I lost my contacts while charging my phone with my computer.  It started freezing so I unplugged it. My contacts were gone.  I rebooted my phone but still no contacts. WHere did they go?

    If you have a recent back up on your computer try restoring that to your phone using your computer.  Plug in the phone to the computer and with itunes on right click on the phone name in left column and hten select restore

  • I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • I-phone 2.0 update - lost all contacts

    This a.m. did the 2.0 update and lost all contacts. Calender good, photos good, notes good, mail good. Did not have on PC but part of download said "backing up information" WHERE?
    Did 2nd I-phone right after, before checking the first one, and that download went 100% not loosing anything!
    Contacts where different on each phone.

    A very similar problem happened to me. Had some issues during the update which I think may have initially caused the problem. Anyway, that was a couple weeks ago. Just today I was trying to figure out a way to restore it again and I got it. Before the 2.0 software is updated the iPhone automatically backups everthing. To restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings following these steps:
    1. Open iTunes on the same computer you performed the update on.
    2. Connect your iPhone.
    3. Right-click on your phone ("Your name's iPhone") under "Devices" in the left column.
    4. Left-click on "Restore from Backup..."
    5. Select your phone from the drop-down menu.
    6. Click Restore.
    As I said, this should restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings to the way they were before you updated it. It does NOT revert your phone to pre-2.0 software. The new 2.0 firmware will remain in place!
    Hope this works for you!
    Let me know if you're successful!!
