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.

  • 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.

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • 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.

  • I've lost my contacts after upgrading to ios7. Does anyone have an idea it get them back. My phone was not backed up beforehand

    i lost all my contacts upon upgrading to ios7. Does anyone know how I can get them back. my phone was not backed up beforehand.

    You can solve this problem by this method.
    You may need a third party easy iPhone recovery tool to recover your contacts.

    This tool can help you to recover the lost contacts directly from your iPhone. Please have a try.
    If it works, try to pay for it to get the full recovery feature.

  • Lost all applications after upgrading

    Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
    Here's what happened:
    1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
    2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
    3. Sync/restore new 3GS
    4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
    After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
    I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
    Anyone with any ideas?

  • Lost all contacts with upgrade to iOS 6.1

    Has anyone else had this problem - upgraded earlier today to iOS 6.1 as prompted, and then later all my contacts disappeared. 
    Also followed prompts to set up iCloud syncing for the first time, but can't find contacts there either. 
    Any recommendations? 
    Thanks

    For me, this is what worked:
    I noticed the last contact I added was in the Address Book, but all others were gone or missing.
    I went to MS Outlook and ran the Sync program.  Unchecked all options.  Restarted the computer.  Made sure the iCloud stuff was turned off on the phone and restarted it too for good measure.
    When the macbook came back up when into outlook then MS Sync and turned contacts back on.  Then connected the iphone and told it to replace all contacts.  It worked.
    Good luck.  There is no one solution that seems to work for everyone, but testing different settings will hopefully get you to the point where your contacts go back onto the phone.
    Cheers
