I updated to 8.0.2 and lost my contacts.

I updated to 8.0.2 and lost my contacts. When I updated last night everything seemed fine and I had my contacts and I think I had them this morning as well. I deactivated my facebook account from my phone this morning and then when I received my first text all my contacts were gone. If I start a new message and start to type names they appear but once selected and in messages there are no names and my contact book is empty. How do I get my contacts back?

Photo Stream as an album entity was removed in iOS 8. It is still present, but only as a mechanism to share across devices. I understand it is being reinstated in 8.1.

Updated 2.2 Iphone Software and lost all contact information! HELP!!

I have the old 8G Iphone and updated the new 2.2 Iphone software and lost all my contact information,video, pics,etc. I tried to hit restore and it did not bring anything back. Does Itunes save info as a back up? HELP!!

In regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Outlook Express, which I believe is named Windows Contacts.
Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer, as with any other digital camera.
Music and video transferred to your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer, and the same for photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone, which is updated if needed as the very first step during the sync process - if any of the data included with your iPhone's backup has changed since the last sync.
The backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, contact info, and photos that were captured by your iPhone, but it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup only for the last two. As already provided, contact info is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer - as with any other digital camera.
You updated to 2.2 from which firmware version, and did you sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before installing firmware update 2.2 to update your iPhone's backup if needed?
You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This will completely erase your iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version, which is 2.2. After 2.2 is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. After your iPhone is restored from your iPhone's backup, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer your selected iTunes content from your computer to your iPhone along with any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
If your contact information and photos that were captured by your iPhone are not restored from your iPhone's backup and you didn't sync contact information with a supported application on your computer and you didn't import the photos that were captured by your iPhone, this data will be lost.

Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS6 and lost all contacts

I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new iOS6 yesterday. It took a while, but everything worked just fine. Today, I tried to do the same to my husband's phone, which is identical to mine. It extracted, but then would not restore. I see the apps that were removed from his phone, as well as the music, in iTunes; but all of his contacts are gone. I've tried every suggestion I can find online, and nothing is helping me locate them. When I right-click on his phone under the Devices header, the drop down doesn't give me the option to restore from backup; it just says Backup. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Actually.... contacts are part of an iTunes backup.
You can verify that information here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
But it seems the issue here is the fact that you can't find how to restore from a previously created backup. There is no button to hit to do so...
You can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings (on your device)
This will restart the setup assistant for you... and as you're going through you can select to restore your device from an iTunes backup.

I going to assume you use a mac,
connect to your computer,
open itunes,
go to the iphone page,
info tab
untick sync calendars, sync the iphone,
then tick the sync calendars again,
sync,
that should restore it.

If updating to iOS 7 caused your contacts to disappear, please call your AppleCare number and tell the advisor your issue. He should have you escalated to a senior advisor in which they can further assist you as far as trying to get your contacts back to you.

HT4528 I have accidentally restored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contacts, photos, and apps. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this to get my contacts and photos back?

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.

I backed up my iphone and lost my contacts on the phone. Any ideas of how I can get the contacts back?

I backed up and sync'd my phone and lost my contacts on the phone, how do I get the contacts back onto the phone?

If you restore then you will lose everything on the phone including pictures etc
Have you backed up the phone previously to where your documents, pictures and contacts are saved?

Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them

I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts. How can I find them?

There are two likely answers:
1. Your iPhone has too much storage being used. Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
2. If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud). You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now.

Just downloaded iCloud and LOST my Contacts.

Just downloaded iCloud and LOST my Contacts. When I tried to send a text message from my MacBook Pro, there were almost NO contacts left. How do I reverse iCloud and get back to my original settings?

Welcome to the Apple Community Kelly.
Try deleting the iCloud account from your device and trying again.

Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

HT5624 I changed my apple ID and lost my contacts

I changed my Apple ID ... and lost my contacts.
Any ideas?

I believe I created a new one.
They sent me an e-mail with a link, and I created a new one, because I couldn't remember the old one. If I ever had an old one ... the phone was my son's hand me down.

I updated to the iOS 6 and lost all my videos and photos. How can I recover them?

I updated my I Pad 2 to the iOS 6.0 and lost my videos and photos, how can I get them back?

If you synced your photos and video to a computer (as you should do to store this data off a device), then you can sync them back to the device using itunes. Otherwise you are at the mercy of a backup, if you ever made one. Many users have lost photos and videos when performing a restore from icloud. You may be one of them. However if previously you used photo stream to sync photos to other devices, then you may still have them there. Turn on photo stream on the iPad 2 to get them back. Video, however, does not work on photo stream.
