Contacts deleting automatically

Last Month i have restored my iPhone with iOS 5, since then my contacts get deleted automatically. I also updated with the latest iOS i.e. 5.1 just to ensure that might be a software glitch but still i am facing the same problem. Apple please look into the matter as i am ****** off with this new OS 5.x.

IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

Help!! My iPhone contacts were deleted when syncing. And only kept a few from my Address Book. Is there a way I can restore them? Please Help! Thanks.

Me too. Although I don't see what MobileMe has to do with it, I don't use it.

Iphone contacts deleted off husband work phone and mine are there

I have an iphone with an icloud acct. My husband has an iphone for work that was installed with his work contacts. We unfortunately without thinking added our itunes acct on his work phone. Woke up and his work iphone contacts are gone. How do we reset it back to his work numbers. I guess the icloud changed his contacts?

Unless you have a pre-DH backup of your iphone and/or Contacts to restore to, you can add this to your list of grievances when consulting a divorce attorney.
Or get him to buy you a nice dinner at least!

Iphone 5s contacts deleting automatically

Dear Support,
I have huge contact in my iphone5s, but it is deleting contacts automatically even i turned off iclould sync. so, please provide me a solution in this subject.
Thanking you

Contacts are part of the backup, restore from the latest backup and your contacts should be back on your phone.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. To avoid any potential contact data loss, back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM) or another cloud-based service (such as Gmail or Microsoft Exchange). You can also make a copy of contacts that are in iCloud. Learn about backups in iCloud.

IPhone contacts - Delete group from iphone?

How do i get rid of contact groups from the iPhone (this one is named "Group Name"), that i deleted in address book?
This stems from a sync bug. When i created a group in address book named "Family", it showed up on my phone as "Group Name" with no contacts inside. I had to rename "Family" to "Familyy" and create a new group named "Family". I then dragged the contacts into it and deleted "Familyy". I still have that dead group named "Group Name" on my iPhone.
How do i delete the group from my iPhone? It doesn't exist in address book.

So should i assume that once something is on my phone, its there forever?
No, but as you provided with your original post, you are attributing this to a sync bug and if a bug, you must do something different from the norm to resolve it.
If you are syncing all Address Book Groups, not select Groups, all Address Book Groups should be available on your iPhone and be identical to the Groups in the Address Book on your Mac and should be kept synchronized. Something went wrong, due to a sync bug or due to something else.
How do i take something off?
If there is an address book group on your iPhone which is not available with the Address Book on your Mac, it should be removed via the iTunes sync process. If not, the instructions I provided should resolve it. If you are syncing direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, and Contacts is not available to select under the Advanced section below the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for replace this info on your iPhone, something else is wrong.

Contact list Deleted automatically

When i connecting to vpn all newly added contacts deleted automatically.
What must i do to prevent such things ??

so i could have my HOA contacts in a group
NEVER give your HOA your e-mail, or your phone number, (or your street address).
Well, I guess they've already got your street address.

Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear later but not always. My phone lost 1000 or so contacts today alone!

Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

Contacts have automatically deleted

All of a sudden some of my contacts have automatically deleted my phone and a lot of contacts name are gone, it is just the number which is there, i have a 4S model, how do i resolve this issue

BEFORE you go restoring backups, try this instead:
Go to Settings > iCloud. Verify that you are logged in with your correct Apple ID. Make sure Contacts are turned ON.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Do you have any other mail accounts? If so, add them to the iPhone, and make sure Contacts is turned ON for each.
Go to Contacts > Groups. Make sure all groups are ON. Refresh the contacts by dragging down on the groups screen.
Go to the home screen. Close all the running apps (double tap Home Button, swipe up on all apps.)
Restart the device.
Go to Contacts. See if the contacts are back.

Syncing Iphone and Iphone has deleted ALL contacts from Outlook - Help!

Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

How to stop iPhone 4 contacts being automatically replaced by an iPhone 6 contacts with the same Apple ID logged in?

So my phone got damaged and I sent it for repair. This is not the issue.
Meanwhile, I'm using my Dad's previous iPhone 4. I placed the SIM card in and used a carrier app to transfer all my contacts. After my contacts replaced the one on my Dad's previous phone, he informed me that the contacts on his current phone iPhone 6+ had changed to mine to and he had lost all of his contacts.
Unfortunately he has yet to back up his new iPhone 6+ but I did managed to find a backup of the iPhone 4 stored on my computer.
Here comes the problem: I restored the back up from my computer on the iPhone 4. All the contacts were back. However, whenever the iPhone 4 has wifi on, the contacts will automatically get replaced by my contacts again? I have tried toggling iCloud here and there but nothing seems to be working.
Anyone knows the problem here?

Okay, as I'm not very clear how iCloud works, I'll try my best to explain what I tried to do.
Firstly, what I'm trying to do is to get the contacts restored on the iPhone 4. Once I've got them back, afraid that they might get replaced, I put the phone on airplane mode and turned off iCloud Backup. The iCloud 6 on the iPhone 6 is turned on and is connected to wifi. By turning the iCloud back on with the iPhone 4, I assumed that the replaced contacts on the iPhone 4 would overwrite the ones on the iPhone 6 but it seems to be happening the other way round.
Objective: Trying to get the restored contacts on the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 6.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

My husband and I use the same apple ID, I have just started using an iPhone and deleted all his contacts from my phone. He hadn't backed up his iPhone but my iPad is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way I can retrieve his contacts from there?

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.
