IOS 5 update Contact issue

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I have alot more contacts than I did before. Where did these contacts come from. I currently have my iPhone connected to our works Microsoft Exchange server and when you look in outlook alot of the contacts are not in outlook but are on my iPhone
Thanks

Could be a DNS problem. The DNS you use at homemight not have the Apple server entered correctly. See:

Problems after ios 5 update - contacts / email accounts

After ios 5 update cannot edit contacts or email accounts - window just closes. Any thoughts?

That is a major problem with iOS 5. To see the previuos posts, search the communities search function in the upper right and search for:
artwork AND "ios 5" OR "iOS 5"

Solutions to iOS 5 update/restore issue?

Is there any solution to the iOS 5 issue other than to keep trying to restore? I'm on about my 8th go-round and I'm still getting the same errors. I've updated all my software, restarted my macbook and generally tried everything else I can think of. I have an iphone 4 if that makes a difference.

first unplug your iphone from the computer/restart computer/ plug iphone back in/
itunes will recognise and say "must restore"
you must just keep trying to restore, it will finally happen, and no matter
what it looks like you will not lose any data at all.
it is a pain, but the servers are over burdened

IOS 5 update Message issues

I recently updated to iOS5 on the iphone 4. When I upgraded I noticed two main issues... Firstly, e-mails that I deleted over the past few months were showing up as unread in my inbox and secondly text messages that I wanted to keep were missing. Is this a know issue? Is there a way to retrieve my missing SMS messages? I also seem to be losing my carrier network signal more frequently.
Thanks,
Patrick

Note on point 1:
This is the issue with contact numbers as I further found out:
The problem basically with messages and calls.
Adding a country code to a contact number will show contact name in messages but not in calls coming therefrom.
Removing the country code from the contact number, will show only phone number in calls but not in messages where I only get the number without the name!
To overcome this problem, I have to register the same number for each contact twice, one with a country code and the other without! Duplicating numbers for each contact obviously is not the right solution.

TS1741 Does the new iOS 7 update have issues with the iPhone Remote app? It stopped working on me

I have tried to restart both my laptop and iPhone. Won't work.

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

IPHONE 4 – UPDATE ISSUE – IOS 7 UPDATE DELETED ALL THE CONTACTS : PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP!

Hello Everyone,
Following are the seemingly essential details in regards to this discussion :
iPhone Model = 4
Purchase Date = 05.Jan.2011
Initial Activation Remark = I used my gmail email account to add contacts initially. But phone always failed to sync (back) with gmail after the initial setup. As in if I make any changes in the iPhone’s Contact List, it won’t automatically be saved to my gmail account. But I thought to keep a full phone back up on my MacBook Pro will be safer option as well.
Latest Full Phone Backup Date = 19.Sep.2013 [via iTunes-11 on MacBook Pro-OS X 10.8.2]
iOS 7 Update Date = 20.Sep.2013
>>>[It went "On" Automatically when I touched to read the details, and could not stop once it got initiated - Actually I wanted to wait until some reviews were out. ****.]
Problem = iOS 7 update deleted all the Contacts that were originally saved on the iPhone.
Tried & Failed = I tried to restore from the available 19.Sep.2013 backup from my MacBook Pro. It restored everything but still NO CONTACTS. If I add email [orginal gmail] account's contacts then it does not show the contacts that I saved on the phone locally; around 1100.
I am in the great trouble because my 1100+ contact list just zeroed by this new update.
[Also, my iCloud all got screwed up. I had earlier used my wife's credit card to register for iTunes, and now my account got her name all over it. There is no option to change the name on icloud.com. I will start a new discussion for this problem.] Though I am trying not to lash out on Apple (for now), but I think that it is seriously getting into my nerves.
Could anyone please help me to get my contacts back? I will be eternally grateful.
I still got the Full iPhone Backup on my MacBook Pro that I did just before the update.
Please help. Thank you!

Yes, I did.
It restored everything [incl. photos] but phone contacts.
And, after restoration the iOS was still 7.
I tried twice but still no phone contacts.
Please help me to get my phone contacts back!

After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps. Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
Please follow this steps:
1) Double tap the home button
2) Hold down on an icon
3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
5) Tap Settings
6) Tap General
7) Tap Reset
8) Tap Network Settings
Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again.
Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7.
Otherwise I'm having a little success with this. Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all). So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

I just updated my 3gs to the latest iOS 5 update and now I am unable to text certain numbers. I keep getting the error code 1121611611 invalid number, even though the number I have in my contacts is a 10 digit number. Any suggestions on fixing this?

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.

randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!

iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!

Hi Bob,
I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
**********DON'T DO IT***********
Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
Good luck!!!!
Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
Plug iPhone into Computer
Launch iTunes
After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
Let the iPhone restore completely
DO NOT CONNECT TO iCLOUD

IOS 5 update issues. It tells me "This device isn't eligible for the requested download." Anyone else having this issue? It's giving me this message for my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

for ipad,
if you go to settings-General
You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute. If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center. If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up. THe side switch is then used for the other option.

I have the iPhone 4S, IOS 7 Version: I am unable to update my contacts via Facebook? I have tried settings facebook. update contacts and it does nothing?

Unable to update my facebook contacts with my iphone 4S IOS 7 version. Have tried setting>facebook> update contacts it does nothing

Same problem here. Just added a friend on Facebook and I'm trying to find a way to make him show up in my contacts list. I tried the "Update Contacts" mentioned above, also logged out of Facebook in the settings and logged back in and tried to update again and he's still not turning up.
While looking into this I also noticed a bunch of contacts who don't have duplicates and whose info seems only to be coming from my Google account although I'm friends with them on Facebook and I'd like to have both sets of info available in one place.
So something with the syncing is not working right.
(Also working with 4S & iOS 7)
Edit - ended up in this thread through a search and only just now noticed it's probably in the wrong place in "iPhone Hardware". Anyway if anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll take this to a more appropriate sub-forum.
