Lost all work/home addresses in contacts after 10.3.1.1581 update.

How do I recover them? Most do not have hard copy any longer.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Depending on what you did, maybe or maybe not. You didn't tell us which, of the 4 or 5, method you used to update. You also didn't tell us if you conducted a backup BEFORE allowing this update to happen...such is, of course, always prudent. You also didn't tell us if you have been doing regular backups...such is of course also always prudent. You didn't tell us if you use an OTA service to store your data and allow it to sync OTA to your device, or if you are depending solely on your BB device as the only storage location for your priceless data.
So, more details from you will enhance our ability to provide you with useful guidance.
Good luck and let us know!

  • After downloading mozilla update to 16.1 i lost all my home screen details.most of these i have resolved.but i have lost my freecorder tool bar settings .

    after downloading mozilla update to 16.x.which had a problem when downloading i lost all my home screen details most of these i have resolved.but i have lost my freecorder 4 tool bar settings from my home screen(it still works in i.e.)could you advise how to resolve this concern please.

    On the screen on the iPhone does it show a usb cable pointing up to the iTunes synbol?. If it does then your iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored through iTunes on a PC/Mac.
    Now in terms of the data you lost, would you know if you backed it up to iTunes/iCloud?. Did you sync data with iCloud at all? e.g. contacts, calendars.

  • How do i send an email to all of my address book contacts :

    How do i send an email to all of my address book contacts :

    Select them all and drag them to the To line of a new message (or, better, the BCC line). But be aware that most e-mail servers put limits on the number of addresses a single message can be sent to and daily limits on how many different addresses you're allowed to send e-mails to, as spam control measures.

  • Lost my Address Book contacts after a security update?

    I am using OS X 10.4.7 and did a security update last night. Now I also have a Nokia E61 and since this morning I have lost all my contact in my address book on the Mac ( a powerbook). Since I didn't play around with the mac nor the nokia I am thinking that it all got lost in the security update.
    I checked my iSync logs and there it indicates that it deleted all contact from my phone right after I did the restart for the update...
    Can anybody help me get my contacts back?
    I do backups but since just got back from my vacation I didn't have the time yet ..
    Many thanks,
    Rolf

    To answer my own qq,
    Well I found some of my important contacts in the trash . They were under a folder named "Recovered files". There where a few named that way so you had "Recovered files #1", "Recovered files #2", till #6. In one of them I found my contacts again, well atleas the ones that I added over the hollidays .
    Hope this helps someone else aswell

  • My Contacts File in Applications has lost all name and addresses - how can I retrieve them?

    Out of the blue my Contacts File in Applications has lost all my names and addresses.  Is there any way I can retrieve them?  On my back-up systems they don't appear either.  Panic!

    Hello again
    Alothogh I could not find help on any of the Communities (that I could acyually understand) - I haven't a clue what I have just done but ALL my addresses have now shown up in Contacts.  Wish I knew what I had 'clicked" to achieve this - but as I have been "clicking" just about everything in sight - I am not sure what did the magic trick.
    Maybe, although I have answered my own query, someone could perhaps tell me what may have happened?  I THINK it was something to do with iCloud --- which is something I don't understand AT ALL!
    Cheers,  Lecia

  • Lost all my music in my iphone after update

    have a iphone 3G that i updated today.. lost all my music that was on my iphone(ipod) how do I get it back?
    I am trying also to take the music from my ipod and import to iphone.. how can I do this.

    try changing your appleID to whatever you were using when you were acessing the UK store.  Then try to re-download the purchased music.  I am not sure if re-downloading music works from the UK store, however.  It might be US only.  If this is the case, you will need to contact iTunes support.

  • Lost all app data and former backups after iTunes 11 update

    I just updated to iTunes 11. I'm using Windows 8 Pro x64 and an Apple iPhone 5 32GB. Before the update I made a backup of my iPhone.
    So far, so good.
    Problems that occured after the update:
    1. One Music CD in my library was split into two albums with titles 1-4 and 5-13. I fixed that manually.
    2. Available space on my iPhone decreased after the update. I've got an iPhone 5 with 32GB capacity. Before the update and sync with iTunes 11 I had like almost 5GB of empty space. Now it's only 1.31GB. There are not more apps, music, pictures etc. on my iPhone than before the update.
    3. All data of apps like balance (budget tool), Momento (diary) is gone! Apps like Dropbox lost their settings.
    Hence, I decided to restore the data from the backup I made just before updating to iTunes 11. THIS BACKUP IS GONE!! I'm no IT newbie and I'm an iPhone user since the iPhone 3.
    I just wish I would have not updated to iTunes 11. Apple Switzerland's Support was not able to help. They said if the backup is gone, data is lost ;(

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If you have synced your device on two separate days then the current state of your device backup will no longer have the stored data for the apps that were removed. If however you have not resynced since noticing the problem then, once the library is restored, it may be possible to restore the device to bring back the missing app data.

  • TS2776 Was synking my I-phone for the first time and lost all my phone and email contacts.  Previously have just been synking I-pod music.  How can I restore my i-phone information?

    I was synking my I-phone 4 for the first time.  After synking I lost all phone and email contacts.  How can I restore or undo the synking process?

    If you have a backup, you can restore your last backup with itunes.

  • I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

    So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

    I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro.  None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were  reloaded back onto my phone.  I received an error message instead.  I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone.  As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day.  I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ?  This is very frustrating! 

  • Lost all my documents on my iPad after an update, what should I do?

    I use my iPad instead of paper to perform tests on the associates I work with that are required using the Adobe app.  I came in this morning and my iPad was automatically updating and now that the update is complete, I have lost all of the checks that were done.  Not only that the iPad is requesting me to log into my itunes account to access every app and once I enter the information accurately it just shuts the app down.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You will need to download the apps from the App Store. As long as you're using the same Apple ID, you won't be charged again.

  • Lost all my apps on my iphone after i sync'd to my laptop  - what do i do?

    lost all my apps after syncing my iphone to my laptop - what do i do? - how do i get them back?

    Select the iPhone in the iTunes sidebar and go to the Apps tab. If the apps aren't checkmarked and set to sync there, checkmark the appropriate boxes and resync. This of course presumes that the apps are on the laptop. If not, you'll have to download them again:

  • I have lost all my documents and previous downloads after syncing mac with my ipad4. Is there a way to retrieve the lost data. I have backed up my laptop on the icloud

    I have lost all my documents and downloads after syncing my macpro with the Ipad4. I do backup my devices on the icloud can I retrieve the lost documents?

    You lost them from the iPad, or from the Mac(Book) Pro?
    If you lost them from the iPad, yes, you can restore your last backup from iCloud. Settings - iCloud - Backup - Restore.
    Note that you can always re-download apps from the App Store, and music from the iTunes Store, for free, if they are accidentally deleted.
