I reset my iPhone and lost my contacts icon

I had some sync issues after adding an iPad to my Macbook Pro and iPhone system. I chose (unwisely it appears) to "restore" my iPhone. In the process, I somehow lost my Address Book icon. The contacts are still there if I go in through the phone icon contacts, but not as a standalone icon. I can figure out how to get it back. Anyone know?

I assume by "address book icon" you mean the Contacts app. You can't delete this because it's part of the iOS. Resetting the home screen layout should have restored you home screen to it's default, including the Contacts icon. If you're saying this didn't work then I'm not sure what's going on. You could always try resetting the phone to see if that helps: hold the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

I accidently linked two IPhones and lost all contacts. I removed the one IPhone from the account but everytime one person corrects contacts, it effects both IPhones. How do I stop this from happening?

see question above

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Just redownload them or sync them from your computer.

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.

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

I recently updated my iphone and lost all my media and contacts as my computer did not save them how do i get them back

i recently updated my iphone and lost all my media as my computer did not have enough memory to restore and an error occured. How do i get them back.

Media and contacts are NOT part of the iPhone backup. Media should already be in your iTunes library and contacts should be in whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to. Just re-sync them to the phone.

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

HT1766 Sadly the last update is causing my battery to run constantly even if i am not using it. Ihave been told to reset my iphone and then set it up as a new device . How do I do this and keep my contacts and calendar?

I recently did an update and my iphone 4 battery now drains within 6 hours (preveiously would be fine for 36 hours), I was told to reset my iphone and then set it up as a new phone , so as not to have the problem recur. How do I do this and maintain my contacts and calendar if I am not using my computer back up?

Of course the battery "runs" constantly, otherwise the phone would die. Duh!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Hi NicoleTosi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is not syncing after upgrading, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.
