IPhone 4S, upgraded to OS6, lost all contacts. Solution?
I have the same problem but I have iPhone 3GS. All my other apps, Photos, Notes, Calendars, etc are there as it is BUT not my Contacts. I signed up to iClouds for the 1st time during the update to iOS6. I don't know how to download Contacts from iCloud (that too if it took a backup!)
Pls help!

Dear rep
I've lost all contacts from my iPhone I've backed it up but still no contacts. What can I do?Are you using iCloud to sync Contacts to your iPhone? If not, do you have a backup on iTunes?
Could you try to explain the issue with more details please. -
Updated iPhone 3GS to iOS6 and lost all contacts
I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new iOS6 yesterday. It took a while, but everything worked just fine. Today, I tried to do the same to my husband's phone, which is identical to mine. It extracted, but then would not restore. I see the apps that were removed from his phone, as well as the music, in iTunes; but all of his contacts are gone. I've tried every suggestion I can find online, and nothing is helping me locate them. When I right-click on his phone under the Devices header, the drop down doesn't give me the option to restore from backup; it just says Backup. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Actually.... contacts are part of an iTunes backup.
You can verify that information here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
But it seems the issue here is the fact that you can't find how to restore from a previously created backup. There is no button to hit to do so...
You can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings (on your device)
This will restart the setup assistant for you... and as you're going through you can select to restore your device from an iTunes backup. -
When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)
Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

Reset Home Screen Layout: Returns the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home screen.

Updated software to iOS 5.1.1 and lost all contacts, messages, and photos specific to this iPhone. Is there any way to retrieve the lost info?
if you don't have a backup on iclouds or itunes that you can restore to, then all is gone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Please define "unlocked iphone 4". It is not clear what, exactly, you did or how it would have affected anything.

After upgrade I Lost all contacts
After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?
Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service. If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Lost all contact info. All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing. When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file". This is very frustrating
I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

I have a new computer and when i plugged my iphone in to upgrade it, I lost all of my songs and applications. I need to know how to recover it as I've looked all over the website and my account is empty?
If you are in the USA (is that Pearland, Texas), with iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.
Here are the instructions: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -

Lost all contacts with upgrade to iOS 6.1
Has anyone else had this problem - upgraded earlier today to iOS 6.1 as prompted, and then later all my contacts disappeared.
Also followed prompts to set up iCloud syncing for the first time, but can't find contacts there either.
Any recommendations?
ThanksFor me, this is what worked:
I noticed the last contact I added was in the Address Book, but all others were gone or missing.
I went to MS Outlook and ran the Sync program. Unchecked all options. Restarted the computer. Made sure the iCloud stuff was turned off on the phone and restarted it too for good measure.
When the macbook came back up when into outlook then MS Sync and turned contacts back on. Then connected the iphone and told it to replace all contacts. It worked.
Good luck. There is no one solution that seems to work for everyone, but testing different settings will hopefully get you to the point where your contacts go back onto the phone.

If updating to iOS 7 caused your contacts to disappear, please call your AppleCare number and tell the advisor your issue. He should have you escalated to a senior advisor in which they can further assist you as far as trying to get your contacts back to you.

ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
