Iphone 4S Lost all contacts when synced to Mac pro

Any help would be nice.

You need to provide a little more info.
Have you synced to the Mac Pro before?

Lost all contacts when manually adding new ones

Lost all contacts when manually entering new ones, how do I get them back? This is 2nd time this happened

Same thing happened to me this evening. I had 1700 contacts and was editing several contacts adding birthday and anniversay dates. After entering dates successfully into the second contact, I did a search for a third contact and got "no results". That's when I noticed that I had no contacts - not a single one. Tried turning iPad 2 off and then back on - but no joy - zero contacts. Not even an error message or beep or system reset - contacts just disappeared. I suspect they are still on the device, but the Contact app link to the contact database file on solid state hard disk becomes corrupted.
APPLE - This is a HUGE bug that needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY!
I have iPad 2 - 64gb - 3G/Verizon with 30 GB free. ios 4.3.3
I hadiTunes set to sync my Contacts with Google Mail
Additional info
- Resyncing with iTunes restored 1752 contacts
- I had recently used (24 hours earlier) "Dup Remover" app which worked beautifully, I which I have used successfully on my iPhone. To be clear - running Dup Remover did NOT cause this problem, but I mention as this loss of contacts may occur as a result of a unique set of actions on iPad 2.

Lost all contacts with sync?

lost all contacts with sync?

Same grief here - I've found this kind of problem goes back at least 4 years!
My 'old' iPod Touch lost my stored photos and Contact list when I had to reset it.
No problem, just Sync with iTunes.... now my photos and Contacts refuse to transfer from MacBook to Touch in any way I select iTunes Sync!!!
The pictures I'm not too worried about but I refuse to tap in 115 sets of Contact details.
And I'm still to find a straight forward sctual solution...

Do you regularly back up your phone with iCloud or iTunes on your computer?
Do you sync contacts with a cloud service or app on your computer?

Lost some contacts when syncing

Hi
I just got an iPhone 4 and i sync everything from my iPhone 3. The problem is that I had 70 contacts on my last iPhone and just 59 was syncing to the new iPhone. When I noticed that, I conected iPhone 3 again to transfer the other contacts to the computer, but it removed some contacts and now I have 59 on Both. Das anyone knows how to recover those contacts that I lost?
Thank you.

Welcome to the discussions,
if you have a backup of you 3G before you lost the contacts, you could restore from that one. But as every backup replaces the old one, it has to be an iphone backup included in your computer backup routine.
You iphone backup folder is located here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Lost all contacts when updating software

Hey I just updated to v4.6 on my Bold and now I can't find any of my contacts...calendar and outlook info still there but all of my contacts were lost...HELP!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome!
Depending on how you did the update, it may have created, on your PC, a backup file. If you did the update via USB tether on your PC (e.g., not OTA), then search your hard drive for a file with an ipd extension (*.ipd). Inspect the results (date/time of the file) and then choose one to use in the restore. Then, launch the DTM software and conduct a selective restore:

If you updated OTA or skipped the desktop backup during the update, then I am sorry for your loss, but there's nothing to be done.
Best.

Lost calender & contacts when syncing

this is seriously bad and i can't get anyone at Apple to speak to me!! Here's what happened 16GB 3G i phone connected to desk top - used i tunes to sync info from phone to pc - sync took place and wiped all phone info from phone and retained nothing on pc!! The reverse happened to what i wanted, unbelievable as I specifically set it up to sync one way!! Is the info stored anywhere and can i get it back.My entire life was on the i phone and I have no back up at all.

How do you think you "specifically set it up to sync one way"? Was this the same computer you usually sync to? Reformatted hard drive?
What info was deleted? Calendar/contacts/bookmarks? Those sync both ways, but if an iPhone is connected to a different computer and that computer has no data on it, the iPhone will have it's data deleted. If you have at least one contact/event/bookmark on the new computer, you'll be prompted to merge the data.
Or was the iTunes media content (music/videos/etc.) deleted? The iPhone syncs that content only one-way, _from computer to iPhone_ and is designed to sync with one and only one computer. Connecting to a different computer will delete the content from the iPhone (you are warned first).

Lost all contacts when synching iPhone4 iPad3 & PC

Help please.
I have a year old iPhone4 with contacts that I have never backed up or synched. I know this was risky. My husband just bought me an iPad3 and he attempted to synch my PC, Outlook Express, the iPad3 and the iPhone4. We were trying once and for all to back it all up so the files would be safe and so both the iPad3 and iPhone4 would have the current contacts. I wound up with stupid Outlook contacts (like empty files and spammers) on my iPhone4 and iPad3 but the original contacts on the iPhone4 were gone. I spent hours re-creating the majority of the data on the iPad3 the other night.
Then today he tried to move the iPad3 contacts to the PC by synching. Instead somehow all the good contacts disappeared from the iPad3 and the iPhone4. All I am left with again is stupid incomplete and spam files from my Outlook loaded into the apple devices again -- which I don't want anyway!!
My husband has been synching his iPad2 with his PC and Blackberry, integrating Outlook Express with contacts and calendars with no problem for months now. He is completely befuddled about what he has done with my data twice now. He doesn't know why when he tries to synch my devices in the same manner as he synches his, it messes everything up.
He was using iTunes and thought he was using iCloud yet thinks he also synched to Outlook Express.
Where have the good files gone?
I have spent an hour reading forums here and also on the web and can't find anything to help me with this. I can't even find where the contact files could be on my PC itself.
HELP please! I'm desperate!

We found the missing contacts in OUTLOOK EXPRESS trash can. I am in the process of manually re-entering every single one.
I will have to figure out the proper procedure for backing up the iPhone4 and using iCloud so this doesn't happen again. For now I have my hands full doing all manual re-entry. This stinks but it's better than losing it all permanently.
(The files were not in Windows anywhere or on the PC they are in Outlook Express.)

Iphone 4 lost all contacts. where are they?

went to answer a phone call and noticed no names with numbers. contacts tab totally blank. Anybody got any ideas?

Hi, i also having the same problem. On Monday, all of my contacts dissapeared, i was not able to access my calendar and my notes were wiped off as well. I read to restart phone, I did, and it helped. My contacts were restored. Too bad my notes and calendar events did not. At least i have all of my contacts back!
Thanks for the tip!

I accidently linked two IPhones and lost all contacts. I removed the one IPhone from the account but everytime one person corrects contacts, it effects both IPhones. How do I stop this from happening?

see question above

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Lost all contacts on ipad2 when manually entering new contact.

On a trip in May, I lost all contacts when entering new ones. I use Windows Live Mail and had to call and spend a long time with three different Apple techs in order to get the contacts back. I actually forgot about the problem and entered one new contact yesterday (on another trip) and lost ALL contacts again. I can't call for help until I return home because I have the name of the tech who solved my problem at home.
Here I am on another trip without any e-mail contacts. Why hasn't Apple updated the software and fixed this problem?

Okay...
I lost all my contact phone numbers for some reason when iSyncing with Motorola Raizor V3 or whaterver they call it. I have been searching the web for a solution and everyone seems to find the file AddressBook.data and AddressBook.data.previous and restore all back into normal. I, on the other side, cannot find these files. I got to <user>/Library/Application Support/Address Book and these files are not there! Why aren't they there??? I dont get it... everyone else finds them there.
Another solution I have found people doing is going to /Library/Application Support/SyncService/Backup Data and finding a folder there called Address Book that contains the data but NOT on my mac! I am not a Mac illiterate either.
I have a back up of some of the data but it is not very up to date. I lost all the phone numbers only. Weird. It doesnt make any sense! Thanks a lot iSync!
This is frustrating because I didn't not only lose ALL my numbers on my Address Book, I lost all my numbers on my cell phone too!
I am running Leopard 10.5.6.
Wanna hear something funny? I just found out my girlfriend is pregnant, I lost my job yesterday, the valet-parking driver crashed my car and I got robbed. And I am not even joking but it doesn't mean it's not funny because somehow, I find it all hysterical! Cheers -- gonna go for some icecream now.

I had my computer worked on. When I got it back I had to reinstall itunes. When I synced my iphone, I lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

I had my computer worked on recently. When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes. I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone.
