Lost all contacts after iOS 4.3 update [iPhone 4]

The description above pretty much tells it all. All contacts missing from iPhone 4 after update to iOS 4.3.
All music, calendar, photos, voicemails are still there. And the strange thing (to me) is that the numbers are still there under "recent" and "favorites", just not the contact names to associate them with.
Backup is useless, as it is from after the update [why is there only one backup? That is useless, and you can't seem to force backups with date stamps].
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I had the same experience as RandyCPU, updated to 4.3 yesterday, all contacts disappeared but all other information still there, photos, texts, recent calls but no names etc. I too found that my phone was not backing up contacts and I only had the info from my changeover to the iphone4 in December. I asked if I could set it to back-up on syncing and was told it did it automatically but this is obviously not the case, I was then told that I would have to do it manually. Apple could only suggest restoring the December back-up but I have now lost everything loaded on the phone since then, they also advised that I was the only example of this problem. Very unhappy and still no idea why it happened.

  • 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.

  • Lost all photos after iphoto latest iphoto update

    I have just lost all my photos in iphoto after latest update. Anyone knows whats going on?
    Over 3,000 photos for last 15 years and I am devastated not forgetting I relly on apple as I own most of their products.
    I see a trend in apple updates, deleting of user data as similar thing happened with email when I updated to OSX Mountain Lion way back.
    Apple should know not forget user data is more importnat than updates as there is no point owning a device that will not give me confort that my data is safe.

    Hi Terence,
    I installed iPhoto Library Manager, and it's a great program, however I am still having issues.
    I discovered today in the Day One App, as well as Mail that the Photo Browser contains the missing photos, projects etc. See image below. I have no idea where these photos are kept and when I search for the name of a photo, the photo does not appear. 
    I clicked on Aperture and it would like me to Upgrade, and I'm not sure if I should, please advise. 
    Lastly in the iPhoto Library Manager, when I select add library and click on Aperture I get the messsage attached.
    Do you have any insight on this.  It looks like the photos are there, I just don't know where to look.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Lost all contacts after updating to ios 8.2

    I updated my phone to the new ios 8.2 and after installing the update my contacts were gone. I didn't have them backed up to icloud. How do I get them back?

    If you did a clean install then you have to manually import contacts from the sim. Try this guide to import sim contacts easily on ios 8.
    OR
    Try going into settings ---> Mail,Contacts,Calendars ---> Import SIM Contacts.

  • My iPhone 4 lost all apps after iOS 6 update, and can't reinstall them!

    After updating to iOS 6, I can't install apps I've bought before.. I can only open them through App Store.. Stupid!!
    And safari can't ever find any web pages when on wifi...
    Seems like iOS 6 is having some bugs after reading this forum and by my own experience..

    I have a similar problem.  None of my App Icons are visible.  I rebooted Iphone, PC and wireless router, I did a sync with iTunes (With "Sync Apps" checked, but it doesn't seem to go through that step), both through wi-fi and with USB cable........no success with any of these.
    When I go into my settings, I can see that the phone knows about these apps. I get see the settings for them and the amount of storage they're using.
    I'm thinking I'll use the Restore function in iTunes.....but I'm afraid that might make things worse!! 

  • BMW iDrive does not see my contacts after ios 8.2 update

    Hello,
    After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.2, my car (2012 BMW F30) can not read my contacts list from my phone.
    Had no problems at all using iOS 8.1.3.
    Already tried all the troubleshooting, removed the connection from both my car and phone and then paired the devices again, restored my iPhone, updated the iDrive software in the car...
    The phone connects to the car, but when i try to call someone, there are no contacts stored in the car and i have to use the phone to dial the number.
    The only right thing about it is that when i receive a call, the car does show the correct caller ID.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

    Same problem for me.

  • Lost all contacts after upgrading to 8.1 on iphone 4s

    How do I regain my contacts on iphone?
    I went through itunes and followed all directions.
    When I was able to get papps back on screen most were gone.  Got them back
    but NO contacts to be found.
    Is there a way?

    At first there was no choice.  Now, there is only the choice from July backup and I'm not sure I had this phone then, but a flip phone.  I'm sire it used the old sim card.   I am on a PC.
    I tried to restore from the July backup and now can not get it to open to the apps pages.  It keeps wanting me to select the language, country,
    internet connection, etc.  It won't leave that.
    thank you for your time.  I appreciate it.

  • My phone turns off on its own after ios 7.04 update (iphone 5)

    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • No WLAN after iOS 7.1 update (iPhone 5s)

    After update to ios 7.1 no WLAN connection possible. I already re-started the iPhone. Does anybody have the same issue? Any solutions available?

  • Home button unresponsive after iOS 7.1 update (iPhone 5)

    Hi,
    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 on Monday. But today (Thursday) my home button suddenly unresponsive. The phone had been working normally until now when I was on FaceTime and tried to view my home screen but couldn't.
    Turning the phone off/on doesn't fix it. Once I turn off the phone and turn it back on, I can see the homepage and enter any app but I can't escape that app without shutting down the phone again.
    Also, there is no damage to the phone/home button in any way (physical, water, etc.) I can't reset the phone because, you know, the home button won't respond.
    How can I remedy this?  Is anyone else having this problem?

    I had the same problem and kept playing around with the phone and doing internet searches. This seems to have fixed the problem.  I went to Settings, General, Accessibility and then Home-Click Speed. I changed from Default to Slow.
