Lost all contact, not during any update

Hi,
My apps were closing for no reason so I decided to close my phone and wait a bit. I turned it on and the apps were fine but when I wanted to make a call i realized that i lost all my contacts. I still have everything in my calendar though. I wasn't doing an update or so. Also, my phone is not synch with my itunes.
Can someone help me?
thanks
Veronique

Lost all contacts, photos, everything after updating iphone3gs to ios6

Hi there,
I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios6 because many new app required io5 or ios6.
I back it up but after the update the backups are gone.
I searched on my computer with files names, etc, but everything is GONE, pictures, contacts, apps, messages, nothing. I have a brand new iphone with io6 (will count for the great statistics of apple) but as customer I feel ready to something else (non apple) if I do not manage to get back all I had on my iphone.
I looked in other threads but their solutions did not work for me.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!

All contact information from your iphone is stored in you itunes backup.. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise either has not had the benefit of experience, or is trying to coerce you into using the cloud..
You can pay $40 to $100 for a program that can acces the contact info..
or you can use freeware to extract the backup , browse it for the contact information and convert it into a document which you can then open and manually copy your contacts from..
Even if you have a newer backup on your computer, the old information may still be in there..
So far as your apps, if you did not use the "transfer purchases" option when backing up, your lost apps are lost and you will have to again download them from the app store.. in the future, use the "transfer purchases" option and ALL your apps will be on your backup..

Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
How can I get them all Back ???

Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone. Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents. Have had to edit on PC. Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync. Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved. Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

Lost all contacts on N95 software update

i have successfully updated my N95 firmware to V20.0.015 and the phone works as such. But when i want to restore all contacts saved using before using PC Suite it hangs up showing 51% done and nether finishes.
Somebody has any idea?

Sometimes easier to deselect some of the things that you want to restore first, for example, if you only do contacts in the first restore pass then pictures etc.
Stuff that I have to absolutly back up I normally perform a manual drag and drop onto my PC because in the past I have seen its unreliable.
Also a handy technique is to Synchronise your phones contacts with My Nokia and also a PIM program such as Microsoft Outlook, that way you have more that one bank of contacts to back up from. Syncing to Microsoft Outlook has saved me a few times.
As for it taking a long time, how are you connecting? USB or Bluetooth, Bluetooth will take a long time if you have lots of pictures and content.
Try unselecting content from phone memory and then making another restore pass.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

HT1688 Iphone 5 I lost all my notes. Any suggestions

Any help on recovering notes from iphone 5?

I just lost all notes. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me £71 to purchase key number to download my info.
All notes info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.

Lost My Contacts & Not Receiving Any Emails

I missed a call and was able to see the name of the person calling me but as soon as I unlocked my iPhone 4S to call him back I noticed that the contacts are not showing for some reason. The only contacts currently available on my iPhone 4S are from facebook so need your help how to get the all my contacts back. With this I also observed that the Mails are also not coming on my iPhone 4S neither showing any old emails showing earlier in the day.
My problem is that I have tried to enabled iCloud but it has been giving me a message since start that "You have maximum number of accounts activitated on your iPhone".
Please help !!!!

You have to contact Apple Support if you are getting maximum iCloiud account limit. Also sounds like the contacts may have been from your email account. Try to re-add the email account and see if your contacts repopulate.

Lost all sync information during Developer update

11.11.14
Today Aurora updated to the new Developer version, which is awesome! Except, all of my sync information was lost (bookmarks, add-ons, settings, etc). I tried to set up the sync again, and learned that there is a new version of sync in which you have to create a new account. I created a new account, but that obviously doesn't solve my problem because all of my sync information disappeared once the update was applied. I have been searching the forums and cannot seem to find a solution.
I have gone to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ to find an older version of Firefox to install, sign into sync (old) in order to retrieve my information, then upgrade to my new sync account, but I am not sure how to navigate this directory. Can anyone help me find the installation file for the latest version of Firefox just before the developer version for Windows 8.1? Or if you also have this problem or know of a solution for it, some advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Thank you Philipp! I used the second option listed in the link you posted:
Load about:preferences in Firefox's address bar and make sure the General group is selected.
There you find a new option to "allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time".
Uncheck the option and restart Firefox. It should load the old profile again automatically.
After this, I upgraded to my new sync account. After all of my stored information was synced, I repeated the steps and checked the "allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time" option and restarted Firefox.

Lost all contacts AND apps after updating my 3G to 4.0

I lost everything with the exception of my Safari bookmarks and my photos in my photo album. Have tried restoring from several back ups but nothing. Any other PC users with a 3G have this issue? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. - Duane

I have actually more than once but to no avail. No one else who is synced to a PC has seemed to lose both and still not get them back after trying from various restore points from what I can tell. Thanks though!

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.

I-phone 2.0 update - lost all contacts

This a.m. did the 2.0 update and lost all contacts. Calender good, photos good, notes good, mail good. Did not have on PC but part of download said "backing up information" WHERE?
Did 2nd I-phone right after, before checking the first one, and that download went 100% not loosing anything!
Contacts where different on each phone.

A very similar problem happened to me. Had some issues during the update which I think may have initially caused the problem. Anyway, that was a couple weeks ago. Just today I was trying to figure out a way to restore it again and I got it. Before the 2.0 software is updated the iPhone automatically backups everthing. To restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings following these steps:
1. Open iTunes on the same computer you performed the update on.
2. Connect your iPhone.
3. Right-click on your phone ("Your name's iPhone") under "Devices" in the left column.
4. Left-click on "Restore from Backup..."
5. Select your phone from the drop-down menu.
6. Click Restore.
As I said, this should restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings to the way they were before you updated it. It does NOT revert your phone to pre-2.0 software. The new 2.0 firmware will remain in place!
Hope this works for you!
Let me know if you're successful!!

Lost all contacts and dial pad on iphone 3gs after update

Hi, please can someone help, ive lost all contacts and the abillity to add , also my dial pad wont work, all after update , i cant even re ad contacts through my messages.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. For some reason, are you not using the device as designed?
As for other issues... basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Updated iPhone 4S; lost all my NOTES

Updated iPhone 4S late September 2014; lost all my NOTES (because not using iCloud??). Don't want to use iCloud. They are not on my iMac either (so much for re-establishing the bak-up function!). Help.

I am trying to help out my son. It is his phone, he has never backed up to anything that he knows of. I know he has a gmail email account on the phone but he cannot remember ever syncing the phone to a computer. If he needs to use Itunes he uses his wifes account. I have called Gadget Grave and Phone Doctor trying to find out if there is a way to find his contacts. He did not have Icloud on it was off and has always been off. I have since turned it on and created him a account. The contacts he is replacing like 4 out of over 100 so far is in the cloud I logged in and checked. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I bought a online program Tenor I think it was that said it could recover the contacts but could not even get the Registration to work on it so I have ask for a refund.
