Iphone 4 has lost/deleted my contacts birthdays. help needed.
i did not see the point in making a new topic,
I had spent around an day in total adding eveyones birthdays on to my iphone 4 contacts and all works fine sins i got the iphone(4) at lunch day. about 3 days ago all my birthdays had finished from all my contracts (might of been a sync i done with the facebook app, but i have synced 4 other time before this without losing any information). I then plugged in my phone in to my PC and done a sync and of cource i overrides my contracts info on my PC as it syncs automatic.
i guess i have 2 Questions.
can i get back my old contacts or birthdays back?
Is there a way to sync/merge contract together from PC and iphone rather then one overriding the other?
Thanks
It also just happen to me. I hadn't done an update, a sync or anything.... I did have a lot of apps open and the phone may have been low on memory...
My numbers, texts, etc aren't missing, just the names and data that go with the numbers. I noticed it first with the phone contacts, then when I checked my 'favorites', the names were there at first, then quickly converted to the numbers.
I tried restarting, but to no avail. I'll just sync with iTunes and hope that works. I guess I'll lose the new contacts I added since the last sync though.... Grrr!

My iphone 4s has lost all my contacts
Out of nowhere my ipohone 4s has lost almost every contact.
The interesting thing- is the numbers that remain were all added after my last sync.
Even in the "cloud" it just has the new numbers....and I am not paying apple $19 for a one-time apple care troubleshooting session.
Anyone have suggestions as to what happened? At this point it appears even syncing it with computer won't work...In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data. -

There is no way possible for your iphone to delete message by itself.
If your having issue with text - contact your cell phone provider as texting is a carrier feature.

For the second time in two weeks, my Iphone 4s has lost all my contact names. The phone numbers still remain without any of the names, What is causing this to happen?
1. I assume that that suggests that it is not normal for a browser window to respond with minimisation? It is just weird when a window just disappears, no reason given (and since there is no obvious loss of internet it can take you by chance)
2. Good that you ask. No, it hasn't. I meant to say when I first posted.
3. Thanks, I gather that. It is just that Mavericks is so different from what I am used to. Sigh...
4. It has calmed down but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it. Forgot to mention that I had my first ever crash of Final Cut Pro since I have been using it nearly daily for four years. I even had Chrome crash on me in mid-upload (drat, drat, drat!). I don't click or plough on- I stop, think and consider. Hence me posting. Mavericks is just not as "smooth" as Snow Leopard to me.
5. Yes, I understand. I just wish it would show me both instead of just the one with the "1".
Tell me about it! It is impossible, I came here to answer via the link in the emailed notification, was already signed out and signed in and was returned to the front page. Had to go back to my Mail, click the link again and this time, luckily, I was signed in. In other words- the session is impossibly short and signing in doesn't return you to the browser window you were but rather returns you to the front. Meh. -
My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

i have brought a iphone 4 and the person i brought it from has not deleted her icloud account i need her pasword to delete it but hse wont give it to me what can i do how can i add my icloud account can you give me a reasonable answer please. thank you.
The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! i never backed up on itunes ..please help
No. The contacts are "owned" by the Exchange server.
The Exchange server is owned by the company.
Everything on the Exchange server is owned by the company.
If you quit or were terminated, and your access to the system has been revoked, then there is nothing you and do at this point. Once you deleted the account from your phone, all of the associated data was deleted.
NEVER store personal information on company systems. -

My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else come across this? Thanks!

- Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.

If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there an easy fix. I have been advised by Apple that the latest IOS update may overcome this situation but I'm only on slow download speeds and 690 Mb would take forever. I would appreciate any advice.
Best regards,

My iPhone 4 has lost safari and App Store , how do I retrieve
Can someone help me, as my iPhone 4 has lost Safari and App Store, how do I retrieve?
They have not. He probably moved them by mistake to another Home page or put it in a folder.

I backed up my iphone 3 and lost my current contacts
I backed up my husbands old iphone 3 and lost any current contacts and texts that he had. Is there a way to retrieve the current info?
If you're using your phone as recommended, your contacts reside on your computer in Outlook, Address Book, or with a cloud service. Just synch your contacts to your phone from your computer or cloud service.
