IPhone four contacts icon disappeared

I have been having a ton of problems with my iPhone 4 lately. Since I updated to the new version of iTunes, it won't sync anymore. And just now, making me very upset, my contacts icon has disappeared!!
I really hope you can help me
Thank you!

Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

Contacts icon disappeared

I somehow managed to make my 'Contacts' icon disappear. I miss it it. Any ideas for retrieving it?

I don't know anything about a utilities app folder. I don't see any folders on any screens.
However, if I go to the search screen and type in "contacts", it shows the Contacts app - on the right it shows Utilities. I guess that indicates Contacts is in the Utilities folder. If I select Contacts, I can see the contacts. I still don't see a Contacts app anywhere. Is it possible to locate the utilities folder and move Contacts to the home screen?

After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my Contact icon disappears , how can I find it ?

After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my contact icon disappears, how can I find it ?

You need to try a reset on the phone. Contacts is a native iOS application and cannot be deleted. Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you cannot find it after that, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

IPhone 4s contacts randomly disappeared

10 minutes ago i was texting my mate and all of a sundden all my contacts just disappeared, i dont use iCloud or any other back up storage services as i dont believe that a £500 phone would have these problems. My iphones is only 6 months old and already behaving like a 3 year old on crack! Does nayone know how to fix this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Yes, I already tried toggling on/off iCloud under my settings several times and several days. Each time, this does not resolve the problem.
Yes, I have already checked my iCloud account online on my laptop and can clearly see all my contacts there. I also checked my Verizon Backup Assistant online via my Verizon online account and my contacts are all there. That said, I cant find the instructions on how I can transfer the contacts from either one, back to my iphone 4s. :/
Since, I posted my problem; by some mysterious reason all my contacts re-appeared completely intact back on my phone with no rhyme or reason. I was happy, since I got them all back on my phone without me doing anything. That said, THIS week it has happened AGAIN! I wasn't on my phone, it was just sitting on the coffee table, and I got a text message from a friend so I picked up the phone only to see all my contacts were gone and their names weren't showing up under the texts/messages app or my recent contact phone log or voicemail anymore. It has been 4 days now, today and they have not re-appeared again like they did last time.
Yes, I tried doing all of the toggle on/off on iCloud again; and I also toggled the on/off on my contacts under all my gmail accounts too, and still nothing.
As for the hotmail, issue.....no I am not using a 3rd party hotmail app (never have). Up until my most recent software update, I was using the "Outlook" option given when under "Settings->Mail,Contacts, Calendars-->Add Account". However, since the update when I use this option, it doesn't "pull/sync" my emails to my phone. I instead use the "Other" option now, and that fixed the email issue. So I have come to my own conclusion that the email issue, was unrelated to the My Contacts issue, discussed above.

Trying to synch iphone 4 and icon disappears

I'm trying to synch my iphone 4 and when I plug it in the iphone icon appears in the top right hand corner. I click to synch and it starts, then the icon disappears and the synch stops.
Does anyone know if this is my charger lead? Because otherwise it charges fine.
Any advice really appreciated, thanks!

My iPhone 4g contacts have disappeared - Lion Macbook Pro

I installed Lion from my Leopard Macbook OS a few weeks ago and, out of nowhere and after multiple syncs on Lion, my iPhone contacts totally disappeared today. I've restarted the phone a few times, reset the syncs, downloaded isync (which got deleted in my Lion installation but didn't even recognize my iPhone), reset my Gmail contacts, created new Address Book groups, etc. Nothing I'm doing is getting my contacts back and none of them show up as anything but the numbers (no names or other contact info attached).
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? I'm on 4g, 4.10.00, Lion on Macbook Pro, newest iTunes, newest iSync. I would appreciate any advice!!

Thanks for the response. Yes, the contacts in Address Book (AB) are all On My Mac. They've always been there. My Gmail AB also is set to sync to the phone but it stopped working at the same time. I restored both the Mac/Gmail AB but it didn't solve the sync. For some reason, iTunes doesn't seem to recognize my Mac AB although everything on AB looks fine.
I do use Time Machine on my backup drive but it doesn't really solve the problem, I don't think. Mac/Gmail AB are fine. I wouldn't think that Time Machine would solve an iTunes problem since I haven't done any updates for iTunes in the last week.
Does that clarify?

Why did Contacts icon disappeared from iPhone?

Hi,
It used to be there, but no more? Any ideas?
Thanks,

Don't worry about it! All that matters is that your question got answered.

IPhone 4S - Homescreen icons disappearing after downloading apps?

I have recently downloaded the Opera web browser on my 4S and as soon as I exited the app other icons on my homescreen disappeared from view, leaving an empty space where the icon should be, but the name of the app still visible. When i swipe between homescreens/ to spotlight the images of the apps seem to come back and then a different one disappears.
I have cleared all the apps that were running in the multitasking bar but this hasn't sorted the problem.
I had a problem last week where the phone would not end a call (I had to completely turn the phone off in order to stop the call) I used the factory reset within iTunes to sort this problem out by downloading a new version of iOS 5 (the same version number just a fresh install from apple) and the problem was sorted but it left .64GB of "Other" data on my iphone which I cannot remove. I dont know if this will be something to do with my new problem (I have never had anything above .20GB of "Other" data on my phone before this). iTunes also told me that prior to the reset my phone was over capacitity by .5GB (how is this even possible?).
Since then my phone has also not managed the storage data on the phone correctly as I downloaded some of the 12 Days Of Christmas free content, with my iPhone claiming I have 2GB of available space out of 16GB (using the data presented in the Settings>General>About screen) to download content (2 HD tv programs, which came to 2.5 GB, so before downloading I removed some older music videos to clear extra space, at least enough to clear out the .5GB required) but yet when I synched my phone with iTunes earlier today (after discovering the homescreen problem) iTunes told me that my iPhone was 1.4GB over its storage capactity. I have cleared enough content to allow 3GB of free space on the iPhone according to iTunes but my iPhone only claims that 2.5GB is free, and the Homescreen problem persists.
Normally I wouldnt trouble you guys with my problem and just restore the phone with a fresh OS but I dont actually have a proper internet connection at my house and so i cannot download the operating system as required (I have to use tethering to type this on my mac) I have read that you can restore from a fresh backup that is stored on your Mac after you download the iOS 5 file, but the file is not located within the backups folder in the Mobilesync folder in user libraries. Apparently in the folder other backups should be present with a dating system (i read on forums about this, havent seen it for myself) but all that is located within the backups folder is 2 folders named with a jumble of letters and numbers both containing a load of files with the same random jumble of characters. iTunes will not recognise these as a backup.
Sorry about the long story but I'm new to having a Mac and wanted to put in as much detail as possible (im not used to lion yet).
My question is Should i be able to access backups/ a fresh install of my iPhone locally as I do back it up using iTunes and not iCloud, and if so, where will this file be located in order for me to do so? Also, what is this "Other" data on my iPhone?
Thank you
John

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My iphone 4s contact suddenly disappear. Lucky i got backup. What is happening? Can Apple fix this bug?

As above.

How do you know it's a bug and not user error? What were you doing with the device when the Contacts disappeared?

Hey all, my iphone 4 contacts keep disappearing. I do not use MobileMe.

Hey all,
As above, I do not use MobileMe as I know it could be related from viewing other articles...
I can get them back by resyncing to my mac, however, as soon as I view my contacts, its seems the phone does a process and they all disappear again.
I tried, erasing all content and data on my phone and re-setting up as a new phone.
I tried, simply restoring from itunes completley.
I tried, importing from sim card, but nothing really appears.
Any help would be greatly appriciated....suggestions, anything.
Thanks

HT1766 Having problems with my Iphone - my contacts have "disappeared" from my phone. They are saved in I-Cloud. Can I restore just the contacts to my phone?

I have an I-phone 4S. I have backed up my phone to I Cloud. My contacts continue to completely disappear from my phone. They are backed up on I-Cloud (I have checked that they are there, through my computer.
How can I restore my contacts to my phone from I Cloud?
Thank you!

If you've restored your phone as NEW and the problems persists, then you have a hardware failure. You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

How can I stop my iPhone 3GS contacts from disappearing?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I woke up this morning and for no apparent reason all my contacts had dissapeared. I am a casual user of my phone at best and had not done anything out of the ordenary.
There are an overwelming number of posts about this issue and I cannot establish what I am supposed to do, to stop my contacts from dissapearing.
Friendly Regards

It very well could be if you were syncing some of your contacts with the account you removed. If you were, and you removed the account from the phone, then any synced data that belonged to that account would have been removed at that time.
Okay, and additionally I am accusing the mail client of removing even contacts that I had added manually via the phone keypad, or I am accusing it of owning those contacts when I did or prehaps at some point the mail client took ownership of all my contacts regardless.

Is Apple going to restore a contacts icon in the mail toolbar? It is missing in Yosemiti !

Yosemiti does not include an address icon in the mail toolbar. I am unable to BCC a list of addresses when forwarding an e-mail ????

Sorry I didn't use very clear language - by green blob, I mean the maximise button in the traffic light system on the top left of an email - underneath mine is a dialogue box that lists various options, adding fields like cc or bcc, which was someone asked about.
Don't know why the contacts icon disappeared. Perhaps Apple will restore it in the next update.
