Lost contact list after software upgrade

I just updated software to iOS 7.1.1, and now I have no contact list.  Icon is there, but there are only a couple of Facebook contacts.  Never had those in my Contacts before.  Any suggestions on how to recover my old contact list?

What were you syncing your contacts to? icloud/google/gmail....

    Hi All,
    Automatically call is going to someperson in the contact list after latest upgrade in iphone 5s
    Thanks and Regards,

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Lost CONTACT list after SIM card change requested by operator

    Dear All, this is my first post, so please bear with me.  I am recurring to this forum to ask for HELP on an issue that is really annoying, specially after spending over an hour with a BlackBerry Support Person who tried many steps to solve the issue without any luck [it was obvious this person did not have the technical expertise to handle the problem at hand].  Here's the story:  Last week I received on the mail a new SIM card with a letter indicating I had to replace my "old" SIM card with this new one, after receiving a text message from the operator.  On Friday I received the SMS and proceeded with the change.  Prior to exchanging SIM Cards, I asked the Call Center Agent if this would cause any problems with my 8520 BB.  The answer was NO, all the configuration info remains on the device, and not on the SIM card.  Well, this was not the case and some applications lost their configuration: email and contacts. Curiously, the BBM service was unaltered.  So I would like to know how can I get back my Contact List? (the email service was quickly and easily reconfigured).  Apparently my old Contact list is somewhere in the Device's memory... but a New Contact List has been created after the SIM Card change.  I know this because when I press the Call History, all the contacts' info is available ... but when pressing the Contacts Address I can only see 1 contact.  Any ideas???? Thank You All.

    This is a fun little (and I mean little) problem. Let's walk through it here.
    1) Some applications lost email and contact configurations.
    A) I'm not entirely sure what you mean in particular as far as the email problem goes. Were the e-mails still set up, but you weren't receiving them? Most likely because the new SIM card contained a new ID number. If you were to go to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Tables, press the menu button, and hit Register...that should fix your problem there.
    2) BBM Service was unaltered. 
    A) This is because the BBM service is reliant on the PIN number unique to your device (not your SIM card).
    3) Lost contact list, but still showing in the call history.
    A) Your call history is just data stored on the device, the only time your contact history is access when sending and making a call is just a simple check to see if you have the information stored already to match a name to it. The data stored in history is it's own entity. I explained this in a slightly confusing manner, but it's slightly irrelevant.
    It's entirely possible that your contact list was stored on your SIM card and not to your device. Try this out:
    -Insert your old SIM card into your phone
    -Open up your contacts and hit the menu button
    -Scroll down and select "SIM Phone Book"
    -Here you should see the list of contacts if they were truly stored on your SIM and not your phone.
    -Hit the menu button again, and choose "Copy all to Contacts"
    Once the process is complete,  you may reinsert the new SIM card and continue on using the phone as normal.
    Hope this helps!

  • Q10 - Outlook contacts missing after software upgrade

    Hi there,
    I have an executive at my company who upgraded to the Q10.  It started to freeze when she went to her calendar.  I rebooted the device, checked for software updates and upgraded using the latest available software release.  After that upgrade, all of her outlook contacts disappeared.  Is there a known issue as some forums tell you to delete social media connector and a few other steps.  Is this a known issue....is there a proper process to follow to get this resolved?  Thankfully, I'm still using the Bold 9900 and was going to upgrade to the Q10 but it seems that there are a lot of bugs still in the new release.

    you should know that it is better to backup with the nokia pc suite. you are not the first who had this or similar problems after restoring a backup that was made by the phone itself.
    you can only try to restore the backup again. i dont know if there is another way to get your contacts out of the backup-file.
    you could also try to open the backup-file with a hex-editor on pc to search for the contacts. dont know if this could work
    @at all: does a software exist to open such a backup-file on the pc? is it archived by a known software?Message Edited by okidal on 02-Sep-200712:00 AM

  • New contacts not appearing in contact list after ios upgrade

    I recently updated my iphone to the latest ios, since then when I have saved a new contact to my phone, even though it appears with the new contact, say in recents, it does not appear in my contacts list?

    I added the contact from the "Recents" tab.  It now shows in "recents" as that persons name - rather than just the phone number, but doesn't appear in my contact list.  Same thing happened when I saved a new contact from a message I received & also when I saved from a contact that had been SMS'd to me.

  • How can i retrieve my old email and contacts lists after software update?

    After updating the sfotware on my 3gs phone, i have lost all my contacts, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
    Has the device been used as designed?  If so, simply re-sync them.
    Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

  • I lost all my contact list after i deleted the me accout from my mail list.How can i recover the contact list ?

    Hi, kindly let me know if i can recovered my contact list after i deleted "mobile Me (which has been expired) account form my I-phone list

    The contacts should be available in a supported address book app for syncing contacts with a former MobileMe and now with an iCloud account. This has been in the works for a year and you should have received an email - several emails about MobileMe going away and how to make the switch to a freeiCloud account.

  • Lost contacts list on my ipad

    I have lost my contact list after downloading the last version for Ipad . How i can get it back ? is it in the cloud ? I have recovered some Apps m but no contacts list with pictures . Thank you

    you can't on the phone/ipad but if you go to www.icloud.com , log in and open contacts there you can in the settings that are presented there.  Click on + at the bottom left of the screen and select create group

  • Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.

    Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.  Is there some way I can open the contact list, click on all of the individual addresses to which I want to send the email without the list closing between each address entry, and have all of my address entries be listed to the email at one time?  Something like it works in Gmail.  I do not want to use set lists, I want to enter different addresses each time I send an email.  And I am a very slow typist, so I don't want to type the first few letters of each recipient's name.  It is much faster for me to just click on the e-mail addresses in the list as a group.  It doesn't make any sense to me to have to reopen the contact list for each address, when it should be so easy to click on all of the addresses I want at one time and then click once to add them all to the email as a group.  If there is a solution to this, please tell me.  Thanks.

    Vatlily,
    Try this:
    1. Select Mail>File>New Message.
    2. Select Mail>Window>Address Panel.
    3. Use (command+click) on the desired addressees in the Address Panel to create the list.
    4. Click "To:" on the top left of the Address Panel.
    The group that you selected will be added to the "To" field in your New Message.
