IOS update and I lost my contacts

I just updated my iPhone 4 with the new iOS and now my contact are gone and my husband's contacts are they instead. What did I do wrong?

Basic troubelshooting steps have not changed in iOS 7.  Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    Hi jandroantonio,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone update may not have completed succesfully. Not to worry, we have an article with information on how to treat this symptom:

  • I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

    I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1.  My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud).  The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs).  Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

  • I downloaded the ios6 to my iphone and my moms phone  Now they are syncronized and I lost my contacts. All my phone numbers have emails in them but no phone numbers. Now whenever I get or send a text it shows up on her phone. How do I reverse it?

    I downloaded the ios6 update for the iphone to my phone and my moms"s phone. Now they are syncronized and I lost my contact telephone numbers. Now when I get a text or send  text it shows up on my mom's phone. I asked for help from the people at the ATT store and had no idea how to help me. That is crazy that they don't even know anything about their own products! This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Did you create a software that cannot be reversed or corrected? How to I restore my phone to the way it was? I am being told it can't be done. I have been an ATT customer for 8 years but I would love to go to Verizon right now. Pleae let me know how to reverse this and get the phones unsynced.

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

    I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

    Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up.  I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and ICloud.  My Contact information is missing phone numbers.  What is my fix?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

    Yes it is the same and it is greed out so it can't be changed there.
    Go to Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Add Account  (select iCloud)
    You can create a new account here  ("Get a Free Apple ID" at the bottom) or switch it to another existing account you may have (separate from your Husbands).
    Once you tie your phone into the separate account you can go back and delete your Husbands on your phone.

    All of us here are users just like you. We have no inside info of when Apple products or operating system updates/upgrades will be released. The next iOS may not even change the issue you have.

  • TS1559 Genius bar guy tells me that iOS update and this procedure fried my wifi antenae

    Have done this procedure several times after updating to 7.0.2. due to greyed out wifi.  Genius bar says wifi is dead... because the iOS update and this procedure fried/overheated the wifi antenae.  So I have to buy a new phone because I followed Apple's instructions?  Not cool, and in my opinion Apple should replace the phone.  Of course my warranty period is over, but when a manufacturer releases an update and a bug fix that you follow, which results in a fried phone... should they not take some responsibility?
    This is a well documented problem, and many others have had phones replaced. 

    they usually only charge $19 if they need to do troubleshooting on a device and if they dont fix ur issue they refund it back. and even then they give exceptions to the fee left and right. plus, if u just want to talk to customer service or a senior advisor they WILL transfer u to them no matter what.
