I lost all my contacts twice in the last month. I'd like to know what the reason can be.

I did nothing different, just opened the contactxl app to make a phone call and all my contacts were missing. This happened to me twice in the last month. I have all my contacts in google contacts so that i just needed to sync my iphone and recovered them all but i feel quite unsure now. As I don't know the reason, i don't know if it's going to happen tomorrow again in a place where I'm not able to find a pc to sync my iphone.
I'm not a mobileMe user.
Can anybody help me?

HT4528 For the second time in two weeks, my 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers are still there, but every last name has disapeared. What is happening?

For the second time in two weeks, my Iphone 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers still remain without any of the names, What is causing this to happen?

1. I assume that that suggests that it is not normal for a browser window to respond with minimisation? It is just weird when a window just disappears, no reason given (and since there is no obvious loss of internet it can take you by chance)
2. Good that you ask. No, it hasn't. I meant to say when I first posted.
3. Thanks, I gather that. It is just that Mavericks is so different from what I am used to. Sigh...
4. It has calmed down but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. Forgot to mention that I had my first ever crash of Final Cut Pro since I have been using it nearly daily for four years. I even had Chrome crash on me in mid-upload (drat, drat, drat!). I don't click or plough on- I stop, think and consider. Hence me posting. Mavericks is just not as "smooth" as Snow Leopard to me.
5. Yes, I understand. I just wish it would show me both instead of just the one with the "1".
Tell me about it! It is impossible, I came here to answer via the link in the emailed notification, was already signed out and signed in and was returned to the front page. Had to go back to my Mail, click the link again and this time, luckily, I was signed in. In other words- the session is impossibly short and signing in doesn't return you to the browser window you were but rather returns you to the front. Meh.

I had an in-game purchase that failed to give me my items purchased, this is usually an easy fix, but this one was through EA, I would like to know what steps I can take to rectify this. (I realize that NOT playing EA games is the best answer...)

I lost all my contacts out of the blue.. how can i recover them??? please help

i suddenly lost all my contacts.. dont knw what happened... I read a lot of answers but did not understand how to recover.. please help

Two way:
- If they are in the calender ap/program on the computer just sync them from there back to the iPod.
- Restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that autosyncing is off otherwise, when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod without the contacts. To turnoff go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices anbd change the box that says: Prevent iPods....syncing".

Lost all my contacts on i4 , the same day I upgraded Outlook for Mac

i lost all of my i4 contacts today. it happened soon after tI upgraded my Outlook for Mac to 14.1.4

If you have your contacts in Outlook or Address Book you should be able to sync them back. If you only had them on your phone, and if you backed up your iPhone by syncing with iTunes before you went to the Apple store, you might be able to extract your contacts from this old backup using 3rd party software such as: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/.

I lost all my contacts after doing the iOS5 upgrade.

I have an iphone 3Gs and upgraded it to iOS 5 over the weekend. After the upgrade - everything was there apart from my contacts. I tried all the usual suggestions relating to switching icloud on and off etc but nothing worked. Finally decided to do a restore from backup, but the only backup iTunes shows is from after I did the iOS 5 upgrade. What happened to all the backups from prior to upgrade? I know it backed up before the upgrade, but now that one is missing?? Is there anyway to retrieve previous backups in iTunes?? Is devastating to lose all my contacts.... Any help would be appreciated!!

HT201269 I tryed to updaye my I phone nad when I did I lost all my contact information, it said it was backing it up but know I can't find it to reinstall on my phoe

I need to know how to put the info that is backed up on my computer ( contacts ) back on my I phone- I lost all my info when I tried to update the software

If you want to restore your phone to a backup on your computer, connect your phone to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup. However, contacts are often not recoverd from a backup; maybe you'll get lucky though.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

Updated my iphone 4s for icloud and lost all my contacts. I tried to sync to the itunes on my computer and it said i needed to upgrade my itunes. I had to download another itunes and my contacts were still not there. I've tried all the troubleshooting

I updated my iphone 4s to get iclouds and lost all my contacts. When I tried to sync my phone to itunes, it said I needed to update my itunes for it to work on my phone. There was no place to update so I installed itunes again. Still no contacts !!!! I've tried all the troubleshooting and still can't get them. They are not in www.icloud.com either. Help!!!!!!

iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:
