ITunes & iOS 5 Upgrades-missing backups, missing contact info

Using Windows XP, upgraded iTunes to 10.5.0.142 couple of days ago, then iOS 5 yesterday. When I installed iOS 5, it didn't reload my apps AND was missing any contact data beyond 2 phone numbers.  In iTunes and on my pc \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup I only had 1 backup from yesterday (the day I upgraded) and it didn't inlcude my last iOS4 backup either.  I had sync'd multiple times last week as I was adding contacts. WHERE DID THEY GO?
Also missing contact phone numbers where I had more than 2 phone numbers.  Noticed in my Favorites that some were numbers and also tried other 'fixes' mentioned elsewhere like just editing one contact or importing SIM data -- none worked.  I have been using iDrive Lite so I can recover some, but ***?  Don't know what else is missing.
And, apps didn't restore at all.  Have to redownload all, but at least app data seems to have been preserved.  What's going on???

I have solved it by unchecking (momentaneously till apple fix it) the "Convert higher bit rate songs" option.
I know that it need more space but i don't have too much music synced so.. it isn't a problem for me..
I have this problem because i'm using the "manually manage music and videos", i'm not using the auto sync option because iTunes always try to copy my new apps to my mac even having that option unchecked...
Now we have iCloud... i don't know why apple still have not deleted this feature!
Anyway... i have solved it momentaneously.
Apple.... come on!

  • Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info

    Problems with iTunes 7.1.2 : Missing Contacts Info !
    I synced my iPhone 5s (running v 7.1.1) to my late 2010 MacBook Pro 13" (OSX 10.9.4) using iTunes (can't remember exactly which version of iTunes, but whatever was the latest around the end of May 2014).
    Subsequently, I upgraded my iPhone 5s to v 7.1.2 and also upgraded iTunes to 11.3.1 (2), then synced my 5s to my MacBook Pro.
    Following this, on both my iPhone and on my Mac (I don't use iCloud), many of my Contact details had reverted to a much older version, and most of the information under the "notes" field in each contact was missing.
    Is there a way to revert to the prior version of iTunes (7.1.1) or otherwise restore this missing information?  There is critical information in my Contacts that has now ceased to exist!

    Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. Before doing the step back to 6.5.2, try a complete QT reinstall.
    This is how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    FWIW, FCP4.5 can run without issue under 10.4.x and QT7, but it is VERY stable under 10.3.9 and QT6.5.2.
    Good luck.

    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • HT201210 did the IOS 7 upgrade. My entire contact list is gone. HELP

    I did tthe IOS 7 upgrade. Yeesterday my entire contact list disapeared. HELP

    Are all your Contacts still present when you go to iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer?
    If so, on your phone, go to
    Settings > iCloud > turn off contacts, delete from phone
    Reset (Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears)
    Turn your contacts back on and give them a second or two to sync

  • Missing Contact Info

    I've had my iPod touch for a few days now. Everything has seemed to sync perfectly. My bookmarks, calendars, and photos are all there. But there's a majority of my contacts who are missing their info. Even my own card is missing info from it. Can anyone help?

    Hi there.
    I've got the same problem. I first synced some groups but then decided to sync my entire address book. Now there are some contact with no information in them. When I complete the missing information on the iPod touch and sync back the entered info appears along the existing info in my mac's adress book.
    Strange thing. I heard someone say that it might be a problem with the format of the vcards but that would be strange. Hopefully this will be solved soon.
    Thomas.

  • Missing contact info for one of the users.  Can't get it back

  • Backup for contact info on Pre

    My Palm pda allowed me to backup calendar and contact information onto my computer.  Although I understand that my calendar is backed-up through Google Calendar, I don't know how to backup all the contact info on my phone.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Google also can back up your contact information the same way it backs up your calendar. In the Contacts app under Preferences and Accounts, set Google as your Default Account, and every future contact you enter will be backed up to google, and you can see all of those contact records on your device as well as in Gmail.
    As for information that is currently in your phone, if you did not have google as the default account, those contacts are stored to the Palm Profile. If you want to copy that information to google, for each contact you can tap Send Contact > Send via Email and that will create a .VCF file for that contact that can then be imported into google. This is currently an individual process, and would need to be repeated for each contact to be copied.
    If you're interested in a desktop solution for backing up your information such as available on former PDA's, check out our website here which details some of the 3rd party options available.
    Hope this helps,

  • IOS 4 upgrade missing Safari

    I have restored the phone twice with no luck. I am missing safari...strange. i have looked at the restrictions and they are not enabled...although when I enable them I see safari is greyed out anyway.

    I was having the same problem. Upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0 and Safari was missing.
    Restored and safari was there. Set up as new iPhone in Itunes with all syncing off and safari disappeared after initial sync. I noticed that my Enterprise Provisioning Profile had been reinstalled (Settings -> General)
    Removed the Enterprise Provisioning Profile and Restored again. Set up as new iPhone in Itunes with all syncing off and safari DIDN'T disappear after initial sync.
    Synced my apps (not the enterprise distributed one), music, movie, etc.
    Safari is still installed. Now i just need to set up my email accounts/preferences.

  • TS4036 I have an issue with the last OS update and missing contact info on my iphone 5

    Since being prompted by my iPhone 5 to do a OS update,I did so,checked where appropraite to proceed with the OS update at the prompts,screen on phone went thru a couple of iCloud questions,and I proceeded.OS downloaded,everything was I guess ok,until,I noticed that half or more of my phone contacts are missing,everything from a to k is there,everything from l to z is gone...I need those contacts restored!!! *** happened???? Where did they go,I do remember somewhere where I clicked on something to do with the iCloud,but I didn't think it would erase half of my phone contact list.I really need those phone number back.Any clues on how to restore these?? I've already sync'd my phone with my computer,and tried to figure out on my phone what to do,but no luck.  Rob

    Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
    I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

  • ITunes- IOS 5 upgrade

    I have a relatively new HP desktop, original his and hers Ipads, and a new IPhone 4s.  I am trying to update the Ipads to IOS 5.
    When I attach the Ipad to the desktop it starts an update cycle.  When it tries to backup the Ipad it takes a long time and then tells me that the backup failed and was cancelled.  There is no option to do anything but cancel and retry.  I have gone through this cycle probably 15 times and still have new Ipads with IOS 4.3.3. The Itunes software is 10.5.2.11'
    Are there any thoughts on how to proceed and what the problem could be?

    Does the problem go away if you move or delete the old backup?

  • IOS 5 Upgrade and Backup Snafu

    Yesterday I upgraded to IOS5 and lost all my Quickoffice and Readdle docs. My computer runs Win 7.  I went to App Date . Roaming > Apple Computer > MobileSync > Backup folder for the update and found the folder empty.  I did a full backup before the install.  Where can I find the docs?  Thanks.

    Problem is fixed by mobile operator now. 3G is working but you should know what to enter in APN setting log.

  • Apple Watch Messages app missing contact info?

    Sometime in my fiddling, I managed to break the Messages app. It no longer displays contact names from my iPhone Contacts. I've tried everything shy of resetting the watch. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Reported the same issue a week ago: Incorrect sender ID when sending Tap, Heartbeat and Sketch messages.

  • Can I retrieve contact info from a database without the BlackBerry

    Here's my story---a couple of weeks ago, I dropped my Pearl 8130 into a big cup of water. After it miraculously came back to life, I decided it was high time to BACKUP my contact info... so I used desktop manager version 4.3.0.17 to do so... I only clicked on 'Addresses' which I assumed meant contacts. I kid you not---the VERY NEXT DAY, my poor BlackBerry went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned having gone swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I needed to get my poor, overheated toddler into the pool asap. I do have cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. I am using a used Casio G'zOne Boulder right now. I had SO much contact info though, that I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert the database (IPD File) info I saved into a word document, or some other readable form so I can obtain all my contacts?
    Thank you in advance,
    Crystal

    Crystal, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    Yes, google search for ABC Amber IPD Converter, and use that. It's not free, but the the trial software will handle limited number of records.
    If you end up getting a new BlackBerry, you can restore that backup IPD file to your new device.

  • I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and ICloud.  My Contact information is missing phone numbers.  What is my fix?

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and ICloud.  My Contact information is missing phone numbers.  What is my fix?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
