Iphone crashed, restarted; contacts & email have VANISHED

So I was adding an event into my iPhone Calendar today when all of a sudden it just took the liberty upon itself to randomly restart. The screen blacked out, I saw the ring o'processing, my life flashed before my eyes, and then the apple icon appeared. When it had finished powering back up, the first thing I saw on my screen was the "Add Account" section of the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option in "Settings".
ALL of my contacts, my email accounts, and all the dates and appointments I had put into my calendar have VANISHED.
I am trying not to panic, but let me tell you, this is panic worthy. I backed my iPhone up with iTunes not too long ago, but do the backups automatically include contacts, calendars, and email information??
I can't find any mention of contacts, calendars, or email in itunes, and I don't even know how to restore my phone using the backup I made recently.
Can anybody help??
Please and thank you!

Apple is seriously losing my faith. My next phone may have to be an Android...
Why wait?  Take a sledge hammer to your iPhone and get an Androgyny now!! 
Whatever you do, don't read the Androgyny forums about their reliability to make an informed decision before going ahead....

  • How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

    How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers?  People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails.  My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices.  I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently.  Any ideas?

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • What software other than outlook can I use with iphone 5c for contacts, email and calendar?

    What software will work with iPhone 5c where I can manage all contacts, emails and calendar and sync with my business desktop computer? From what I have seen from co-workers Microsoft outlook and iPhone doesn't work well together.

    But the problem is, that it Did used to do this. It synced for a year and a half and now only in the past four months has it not synced...
    Any thoughts?

  • Iphone 5 - all deleted emails have reappeared in inbox.  Why?

    Travelling around the USA and have been deleting redundant emails from my phone and ipad.  Last night, nearly 400 deleted emails have reappeared in my iphone inbox.   Not in my ipad, just my iPhone 5.
    Why and is this likely to keep occurring?
    Wonder what I can do to prevent this?
    Thanks

    my wife just had this same problem develop with her iPad 2 (not with her iPhone  or our iMac, all using the same email client, Comcast/Xfinity's webmail (which I dislike for lots of other reasons as well). My wife and I share the same address and the problem isn't happening on my iPhone5.
    Re-booting the iPad hasn't helped and I haven't tried a reset, but that didn't work for you. Have you had any success with fixing the problem? It's very frustrating. I've posted the same question on an Xfinity forum, but have no responses yet.

  • Incomming emails have vanished

    Hi,
    Yesterday I moved from Mobileme to Icloud.
    Now for some reason all my incomming emails are gone.
    Not on my Iphone, Ipad or Icloud account.
    Any idea were to find them or how to get them back?

    I don't know how you were try to change the password etc but this worked for me.
    To change the MyBT username and password log onto MyBT and go to My Profile. Click on edit My contact details if it is not already, change the contact email address to your BT email address. Enter your present MyBT password to confirm.
    Now go to "My Security Details" and edit the password to make it the same as your email password. You can obviously change the security question and answer if you want.  
    If that doesn't work try the forgotten password here for BTYahoo.

  • All my Emails have vanished from my IPhone

    I have 2 other Email providers along with ICloud. Between the time I went to bed to when I accessed them the next morning, all of my emails within each of my other 2 email providers had disappeared.
    Any thoughts?

    Are the emails still on the server?  By this I mean if you check your email online, are all of your emails still there?  If so, you can attempt to delete your email account in Settings and add them again.  Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars will bring you to your accounts.

  • All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?, All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?

    Last night I went to check my emails on my ipad and noticed that all of my inboxes (gmail, yahoo and exchange) were completely empty. I logged on to each individual site on my computer and the inboxes were empty there as well, with no trace of the lost messages in any trash folders or other folders. Obviously this is completely unacceptable as I have lost hundreds of important emails. Upon searching online I found that other people have experienced the same exact thing  but apple has provided no explanation. As the only device that I use to access these 3 email accounts is my ipad I feel like it must have come from there. The chance of all 3 servers malfunctioning and clearing my inboxes at exactly the same moment last night is too ridiculous to contemplate, despite being suggested by the customer service advisor that I just spoke to. And I have no other evidence that my accounts have been compromised, and they have separate usernames and passwords anyway. Has this happened to anyone else? Or can anyone provide any sort of explanation? Thank you

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • Hard drive crashed - would my emails have been sto...

    I have had someone restore my hard drive but it is empty and there is no .pst file. My emails were on Outlook with hundreds of folders. I can only see emails as from when I used webmail to open Outlook on a friend's spare laptop so I appear to have lost the last 5 years. I have Bt Cloud but dont recall setting it up although all my photos and docs appear to be on there. There is nothing .pst but there is a file with my email address with the extension .bak but I dont know what to do with it. Any techies can help me?

    If you had to re-install Windows, unless you used a Windows repair option, you will have lost everything that was on the hard-drive.
    I don't use BTCloud but my understanding of it is that you would have to select what was "backed up" and stored on the cloud and as you don't recall doing this it is unlikely that your emails will be there.
    If you previously left your emails on the server after they were downloaded by Outlook or if you used an IMAP account in Outlook, your emails should still be on BT email server. Have you checked by logging onto your BTYahoo/Mail account via webmail to see if they are there.
    If they are not there then I'm afraid they will be lost.

  • Ringtones i purchased from itunes disappeared when my iphone 4s restarted and they only show up as 'on my device' in itunes library but with a grey dotted circle. How do I get them back? They worked until the phone restarted!

    I purchased some alert tones on my iphone 4s via itunes yesterday. They all worked just fine until the phone ran out of battery and I plugged it in and restarted. They have vanished from the phone and when I connect to my PC they only show up as 'on my device' under tones and with a grey dotted circle by them. How do I get them back? This is crazy! I purchased one a second time, it worked, I switched my phone off and on again and it has gone again!!!

    Having the same issue on multiple alert tones on my Iphone5c.  After purchase they disappear from the phone and show up on my itune under Tones grayed out with a dotted circle next to them.

  • Why does my MacBook spontaneously crash/restart?

    My MacBook is suddenly restarting for no apparent reason.  What follows is a detailed description of the issue and surrounding circumstances, various elements of which may or may not be relevant.
    Several months ago I noticed my trackpad button had stopped clicking reliably.  About two months ago I realized that the replacement laptop battery I was using (purchased on Amazon as genuine Apple product, but probably not really made by Apple) had begun to swell just enough to press up from the underside of the trackpad and prevent it from functioning properly.  I removed the battery and have been using the machine with AC power so that the trackpad will work right.  I intend to replace the battery with a new one directly from Apple, but given the cost I would like to make sure I can resolve my other issues first.  I have included the above because it was roughly around the time I began using my MacBook without a battery that the symptoms below began.  Using the computer without a battery may or may not be related these issues, but it is the only thing I can think of that changed anywhere near when the problems began.
    Around this time, the backlight on the built-in display began to regularly (1-5 times per hour of use) shut itself off.  The LCD stays on and can still be seen faintly in ambient light, but the backlight turns itself off as if I had turned the brightness all the way down using the F1 key.  The brightness control itself seems to stay up, however, as the temporary fix I was able to find by researching the issue online is to turn the brightness all the way down (using the F1 key) and then back up again (using F2) and display brightness rises with my pressing the F2 display-brighter button.  This would last anywhere from 1-1000 minutes (approximate) of use before shutting off (backlight) again and I would have to do the same thing.  The length of time until the next shutoff seems to be shorter the brighter I have the display brightness set, but the symptom comes and goes in fits and spurts.  Sometimes I can't keep it on more than 15 seconds and I just give up and drag whatever windows I'm working on to my external monitor (which functions fine throughout - I use the external and built-in displays side-by-side with a mini-DVI to DVI adapter), but other times it will go for a week just fine.  This may or may not be related to my more serious issue below, but it began just in advance of the below and has continued to the present.
    About the same time I stopped using the battery and started experiencing display backlight shutoffs, my computer began spontaneously crashing and restarting itself.   The first time it happened I was attempting to play a video (MP4 I think) from the hard drive in QuickTime Player.  The video played for a few minutes, and then my computer crashed and began to restart itself.  I let it restart and tried playing the video several more times, even using VLC instead of QuickTime as the player, but each time the computer would play a few seconds to a few minutes before dying and restarting.  In the hours and days that followed, the machine would randomly restart every 1-100 (approximately) minutes of use.  The shutdowns seemed more likely to occur when attempting to play video of any format, local or online, and for a while I couldn't even play a YouTube vid without the computer shutting down.  Sometimes the machine would restart to my login screen, but then if I logged in right away it would begin the login process but then die and restart again.  If I waited a while before logging in it seemed to "calm down" and would login successfully.  The restarts were more likely during video playback, but not exclusive to this task.
    I noticed that the restarts seemed to especially come in "clumps," and that allowing the machine a rest seemed to help.  I also noticed that the fan frequently (but not always) sounded like it was running at full power at the time of restart.  I concluded that the restarts were likely the result of overheating.  I disassembled the machine in order to clean out the fan and heat sink.  I didn't find much lint / blockage, but I thoroughly cleaned out what was there and did a cursory look around the internals for anything that might appear to be out of order, but I didn't find anything remarkable.  The restarts continued, together with high fan speeds just before, so I downloaded iStat Pro to monitor internal temperatures in my status bar.  I watched temps pretty closely, especially when I heard the fan, but the highest I ever saw was 80 degrees celsius on the CPU die.  I don't know a lot about CPU temperature ranges, but from some cursory research it looks like that is way below the cutoff for an automatic shutdown (and besides, it seems like it should shutdown rather than restart for overheating).  I watched to see if the restarts happened at the same temperature every time, but they varied widely, sometimes even occurring below 65 C, with or without high fan noise.
    The issue persisted and was becoming a real problem for me, and I already had a HDD I was planning to upgrade to, so I decided to do the HDD swap and follow with a clean install of OSX (via download from Apple) rather than migrate from my old drive because I figured that would take care of any software issues.  After I swapped out the HDD and did a clean install it was three days or so until the display backlight cut out as before, and about a week before the first sudden restart, which brings us to the present.  Since that first restart, I've seen another 6 or so in the last 4 hours.  I have also noticed an occasional failure to get past the grey screen on an intentional shutdown (not the sudden restarts) since replacing the HDD and reinstalling OSX, but that only happens on occasion.  The only things I have installed since replacing the HDD other than the OS are MS Office for Mac 2011 (from CD) and then Flash and Silverlight plug-ins for Safari.  I've also transferred over some files from my old HDD using a USB caddy and have opened some documents, but I haven't run any applications or installers besides the aforementioned.  I haven't been able to transfer everything from the old HDD though, because the old drive (in a USB caddy) drive seems to spontaneously unmount, giving me the "the disk was not ejected properly" message and causing Finder to freeze up with a spinwheel of death and not recover after relaunching finder in the Force Quit dialog.  This seems to lead to the manual shutdown stalling on the grey screen as well (when means I have to use the button to force full shutdown).  This could just be a problem with my caddy though.
    Here is what I have tried, in total:
    - Restarted the machine
    - Disassembled laptop and cleaned out the fan / heat sink
    - Watched temperatures (no apparent correlation)
    - Replaced HDD and reinstalled OSX from scratch (by download from Apple)
    - Ran Apple Hardware Test (no problems found)
    - Software Update ("your software is up to date")
    - Checked for System Diagnostic Reports in Console following spontaneous restarts, found none present
    - Reset NVRAM / PRAM
    - Reset SMC
    Those last two resets I did just prior to posting and so far I haven't seen the crash/restart, although I have seen the dead backlight.  It hasn't been long though so we'll see. . .

    One final note - when the system spontaneously restarts, it doesn't properly shutdown as it would if I initiated a restart, it just suddenly dies, black screen, and then I hear the startup tone and it begins to restart.
    Obviously this is an older machine and I've gotten a lot of good use out of it, but I still need it and don't have the budget right now to replace it so any help you can offer would be much appreciated.  I'm pretty much stymied.
    Please let me know if anything is missing / unclear!

    My MacBook is suddenly restarting for no apparent reason.  What follows is a detailed description of the issue and surrounding circumstances, various elements of which may or may not be relevant.
    Several months ago I noticed my trackpad button had stopped clicking reliably.  About two months ago I realized that the replacement laptop battery I was using (purchased on Amazon as genuine Apple product, but probably not really made by Apple) had begun to swell just enough to press up from the underside of the trackpad and prevent it from functioning properly.  I removed the battery and have been using the machine with AC power so that the trackpad will work right.  I intend to replace the battery with a new one directly from Apple, but given the cost I would like to make sure I can resolve my other issues first.  I have included the above because it was roughly around the time I began using my MacBook without a battery that the symptoms below began.  Using the computer without a battery may or may not be related these issues, but it is the only thing I can think of that changed anywhere near when the problems began.
    Around this time, the backlight on the built-in display began to regularly (1-5 times per hour of use) shut itself off.  The LCD stays on and can still be seen faintly in ambient light, but the backlight turns itself off as if I had turned the brightness all the way down using the F1 key.  The brightness control itself seems to stay up, however, as the temporary fix I was able to find by researching the issue online is to turn the brightness all the way down (using the F1 key) and then back up again (using F2) and display brightness rises with my pressing the F2 display-brighter button.  This would last anywhere from 1-1000 minutes (approximate) of use before shutting off (backlight) again and I would have to do the same thing.  The length of time until the next shutoff seems to be shorter the brighter I have the display brightness set, but the symptom comes and goes in fits and spurts.  Sometimes I can't keep it on more than 15 seconds and I just give up and drag whatever windows I'm working on to my external monitor (which functions fine throughout - I use the external and built-in displays side-by-side with a mini-DVI to DVI adapter), but other times it will go for a week just fine.  This may or may not be related to my more serious issue below, but it began just in advance of the below and has continued to the present.
    About the same time I stopped using the battery and started experiencing display backlight shutoffs, my computer began spontaneously crashing and restarting itself.   The first time it happened I was attempting to play a video (MP4 I think) from the hard drive in QuickTime Player.  The video played for a few minutes, and then my computer crashed and began to restart itself.  I let it restart and tried playing the video several more times, even using VLC instead of QuickTime as the player, but each time the computer would play a few seconds to a few minutes before dying and restarting.  In the hours and days that followed, the machine would randomly restart every 1-100 (approximately) minutes of use.  The shutdowns seemed more likely to occur when attempting to play video of any format, local or online, and for a while I couldn't even play a YouTube vid without the computer shutting down.  Sometimes the machine would restart to my login screen, but then if I logged in right away it would begin the login process but then die and restart again.  If I waited a while before logging in it seemed to "calm down" and would login successfully.  The restarts were more likely during video playback, but not exclusive to this task.
    I noticed that the restarts seemed to especially come in "clumps," and that allowing the machine a rest seemed to help.  I also noticed that the fan frequently (but not always) sounded like it was running at full power at the time of restart.  I concluded that the restarts were likely the result of overheating.  I disassembled the machine in order to clean out the fan and heat sink.  I didn't find much lint / blockage, but I thoroughly cleaned out what was there and did a cursory look around the internals for anything that might appear to be out of order, but I didn't find anything remarkable.  The restarts continued, together with high fan speeds just before, so I downloaded iStat Pro to monitor internal temperatures in my status bar.  I watched temps pretty closely, especially when I heard the fan, but the highest I ever saw was 80 degrees celsius on the CPU die.  I don't know a lot about CPU temperature ranges, but from some cursory research it looks like that is way below the cutoff for an automatic shutdown (and besides, it seems like it should shutdown rather than restart for overheating).  I watched to see if the restarts happened at the same temperature every time, but they varied widely, sometimes even occurring below 65 C, with or without high fan noise.
    The issue persisted and was becoming a real problem for me, and I already had a HDD I was planning to upgrade to, so I decided to do the HDD swap and follow with a clean install of OSX (via download from Apple) rather than migrate from my old drive because I figured that would take care of any software issues.  After I swapped out the HDD and did a clean install it was three days or so until the display backlight cut out as before, and about a week before the first sudden restart, which brings us to the present.  Since that first restart, I've seen another 6 or so in the last 4 hours.  I have also noticed an occasional failure to get past the grey screen on an intentional shutdown (not the sudden restarts) since replacing the HDD and reinstalling OSX, but that only happens on occasion.  The only things I have installed since replacing the HDD other than the OS are MS Office for Mac 2011 (from CD) and then Flash and Silverlight plug-ins for Safari.  I've also transferred over some files from my old HDD using a USB caddy and have opened some documents, but I haven't run any applications or installers besides the aforementioned.  I haven't been able to transfer everything from the old HDD though, because the old drive (in a USB caddy) drive seems to spontaneously unmount, giving me the "the disk was not ejected properly" message and causing Finder to freeze up with a spinwheel of death and not recover after relaunching finder in the Force Quit dialog.  This seems to lead to the manual shutdown stalling on the grey screen as well (when means I have to use the button to force full shutdown).  This could just be a problem with my caddy though.
    Here is what I have tried, in total:
    - Restarted the machine
    - Disassembled laptop and cleaned out the fan / heat sink
    - Watched temperatures (no apparent correlation)
    - Replaced HDD and reinstalled OSX from scratch (by download from Apple)
    - Ran Apple Hardware Test (no problems found)
    - Software Update ("your software is up to date")
    - Checked for System Diagnostic Reports in Console following spontaneous restarts, found none present
    - Reset NVRAM / PRAM
    - Reset SMC
    Those last two resets I did just prior to posting and so far I haven't seen the crash/restart, although I have seen the dead backlight.  It hasn't been long though so we'll see. . .

    One final note - when the system spontaneously restarts, it doesn't properly shutdown as it would if I initiated a restart, it just suddenly dies, black screen, and then I hear the startup tone and it begins to restart.
    Obviously this is an older machine and I've gotten a lot of good use out of it, but I still need it and don't have the budget right now to replace it so any help you can offer would be much appreciated.  I'm pretty much stymied.
    Please let me know if anything is missing / unclear!

  • Why my iphone keep restarting

    Why my Iphone keep restarting?

    I have experienced the problem related to Safari. I sometimes do not lift my fingers hight enough off the screen, i.e., I drag rather than lift and move and when I do that I somehow set something into action that sends Safari to home. Being more careful on that issue has reduced the return to Safari home.
    On the other issue where it in fact reboots, I have no idea what may be wrong. Rather than restoring or resetting, why don't you first try turning your phone off for a minute or two to see if some electronic gate gets cleared. Turn the phone on and see if the actual reboot recurs.
    Maybe one of the 'gurus' or other have exerienced the reboot problem.
    Good luck!

  • My apps have vanished

    I've just upgraded to a 4s but I've not sync'd my other phone for ages (laptop was dodgy for ages).  Now that I've had my laptop fixed, I started syncing my old iphone today in preparation for sorting my new iphone.
    All my apps have vanished!  I don't know where, and I don't know how to get them back.  Everything has now transferred over to my new iphone, except all these apps.
    Can anyone tell me what's happened? Is it reversible?
    Thanks.

    If you synced with a different computer than the one the devices was setup on it would have wiped it and resynced to what was in that library. You can redownload your apps from the iTunes store.
    Make sure you are signed into iTunes with the Apple ID the purchases were ,made with and that the computer is autorized.
    Computer: iTunes Store > Purchased (in the Quick Links section on the right) > Apps
    Phone: Open App Store app > Updates Purchased

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • How do I prevent my contacts, emails and files from syncing to my daughters iphone but continue to have the apps sync?

    I recen't bought my daughter an iphone 4 and I have a 5.   I want to prevent my contacts/email ect from syncing to her phone (and hers to mine) but still have all the apps and other things sync.   Is there a way to do this?  We have the same itunes and icloud account.   I'm not sure if they are the same thing or completely seperate entities.  I'm pretty apple illiterate and really need instructions in layman's terms.  LOL

    A couple of options:
    Create a new AppleID for her and set up iCloud on it. Login  to that account on her device (Settings app > iCloud) but leave the iTunes&App Store account as is. (I have this set up on my wife's iPhone).
    OR
    If either of you do not need to synch items, turn them off in icloud (Settings App > iCloud). Emails should not synch unless you have the same email accounts set up (Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendars)
