Lost all Contact

I only wanted to update my music to my iPod Touch!
I decided to update Contacts too since my Address Book has some new additions.
I went to iTunes > Info > Sync Contacts / Advanced (Replace info on this iPod - Contacts.  (both checked)
For some reason my Contacts on the Touch are now deleted - luckily my Address Book on MBP is okay.
I have hard reset the iPod, screamed, tried dragging all Address Contacts to iTunes.....
Anyone know A) Why this has happened... and B) How to rectify what should be a simple link of Address Book-iTunes-iPod

When you make changes on the iPod or on Address book, they will sync to the other devices whenyou plug in the iPod.

That is simply the "nuclear option" for when you do not want any of the contacts currently on the iPod.
You simply updated/added some so just sync the iPod.
Are you using iCloud?

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • 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!!

    You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes. 

  • After upgrade I Lost all contacts

    After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

    Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service.  If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    Lost all contact info.  All my Aps are there but all the data/progress is missing.  When I plug my iphone into the usb fto synch up with my itunes on the computer a message comes up and says "enter the password to unlock your iphone backup file".  This is very frustrating

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • 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?

  • Lost all contacts on ipad2 when manually entering new contact.

    On a trip in May, I lost all contacts when entering new ones.  I use Windows Live Mail and had to call and spend a long time with three different Apple techs in order to get the contacts back.  I actually forgot about the problem and entered one new contact yesterday (on another trip) and lost ALL contacts again.  I can't call for help until I return home because I have the name of the tech who solved my problem at home. 
    Here I am on another trip without any e-mail contacts.  Why hasn't Apple updated the software and fixed this problem?

    Okay...
    I lost all my contact phone numbers for some reason when iSyncing with Motorola Raizor V3 or whaterver they call it. I have been searching the web for a solution and everyone seems to find the file AddressBook.data and AddressBook.data.previous and restore all back into normal. I, on the other side, cannot find these files. I got to <user>/Library/Application Support/Address Book and these files are not there! Why aren't they there??? I dont get it... everyone else finds them there.
    Another solution I have found people doing is going to /Library/Application Support/SyncService/Backup Data and finding a folder there called Address Book that contains the data but NOT on my mac! I am not a Mac illiterate either.
    I have a back up of some of the data but it is not very up to date. I lost all the phone numbers only. Weird. It doesnt make any sense! Thanks a lot iSync!
    This is frustrating because I didn't not only lose ALL my numbers on my Address Book, I lost all my numbers on my cell phone too!
    I am running Leopard 10.5.6.
    Wanna hear something funny? I just found out my girlfriend is pregnant, I lost my job yesterday, the valet-parking driver crashed my car and I got robbed. And I am not even joking but it doesn't mean it's not funny because somehow, I find it all hysterical! Cheers -- gonna go for some icecream now.

  • Lost all contacts from iPhone, what to do?, Lost all contacts from iPhone, what to do?

    Dear rep

    Could you try to explain the issue with more details please.

  • Lost all contacts after Lion

    Lost all contacts how do I get them down for icloud?

    Generally, this is caused when the index database gets corrupted. You can delete it and it will be rebuilt from the data.
    Make a backup of your Address Book using File>Export>Address Book archive.
    Then, go to the Finder and hold down option key while selecting Go menu. Choose Library.
    Navigate to your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the adressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Start Address book and your contacts should be back.
    If you are syncing with anything, you might want to turn that off while you do this.
