ICloud Contact Info Disappears

I have a very strange issue.
On occasion Contacts will disappear in a random fashion.
When the Contact is a Favorite, the phone number will remain in the Favorite list, but the name has disappeared.
This does not happen with every Contact, nor do I detect any pattern about the Contacts involved.

Lowell, I just spoke with Apple Support.  On your phone, go to Contacts.  From Contacts click on groups in the upper left hand corner.  If "show all contacts" is on, select it to change it to "hide all contacts".  Worked like a charm for me.

    If the Galaxy allows importing from vCards files....
    You can export your contacts - go to the Contacts page at icloud.com (use computer's browser), click the top contact to select it then shift-click the bottom one to select all. Click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.

  • I lost my iCloud contact info

    Please help me!
    I went to iCloud and by mistake erase all the contacts, and they are not back up on my iTunes. When I saw my iPhone there where no contacts any more. Hoy can I get them back? Is there a back up of the iCloud that apple have?
    Thanks!

    Apple doesn't back up your account.  However, if you backed up your phone to iCloud before this happened, you may be able to restore the contacts from the backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT4859 lost my contacts' info on iphone after i signing onto icloud

    Hi, I lost all of my contacts' info after signing onto icloud and backing up.  Now, contact list on my iphone is blank.  How can I get the info back onto my iphone without resetting?  Thanks

    If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

  • Updated iphone 4s to iOS 8.1.2, then enabled iCloud and my contacts have disappeared!!

    I recently updated to iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone 4s. After about a week, I enabled iCloud for the first time. This afternoon I noticed a phone number instead of a name when I received  a call, and then discovered all my contacts have disappeared!  Any ideas how to restore without doing a full restore of the backup I did before I upgraded the OS.  How do I sync my most recent backup of only my contacts on itunes with the (empty) contacts on my iPhone?  My contacts list contains many vital details, such as addresses, email addresses, and alternate phone numbers and I don't understand how Apple could permit such a thing to happen.

  • My contacts just disappeared off iCloud

    My contacts just disappeared off my iphone having not deleted them or fiddled with the settings. They have also deleted in a similar fashion off my Mac book pro. These seems to be because they have disappeared off my icloud. Please help!
    thanks

    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (is someone else using the same account as you, like a spouse or child?). 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • Disappearing contact info

    Every time I get a new text message, ALL of my contact names disappear and revert to just the number! All of them! This is the fourth time today it's happened. I added contact names again and they all just disappeared again...I added them back to the email contacts as well and everything disappears. Help!

    In the Address Book you can select and record multiple fields for each contact. For instance, Contact A info is all completed with address, phone, title etc and then you can Add a "Spouse" name, select the "+" button and now add a "Child" name etc. Then you also have the option in the drop down to select a "Custom" field. Probably 99% of my contacts only used the actual fields available in the drop down.
    I chatted with a guy on Apple and he thought that those fields just may not be displayed on the iPhone. That would be sad, since every other field and sub-field is displayed.

  • My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    Backups do not cause contacts to disappear.
    Why do you believe this has occurred?
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud/Exchange. 

  • My contacts suddenly disappeared from my iphone 6,i dont have a backup on icloud i think,but i have a backup on my computer ,so i made the backup i saw the contacts and then they disappeared again .i need help?

    i cant restore my contacts from computer or icloud ?they disappear when i restore

    HI
    I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
    Before I started I made sure that I had  a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
    IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
    after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
    VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
    Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
    Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
    I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
    Thanks again  - Apple support.
