Lost contacts and events

lost my contacts and calendar events when i was trying to save my contacts before updating to ios 6.1 from ios 4.2.1
i sync my phone with i tunes and choose info then sync contacts with outlook but no any contacts appeared in the box and i pressed done then it was all gone from my phone and when i opened outlook nothing was there please help i tried to restore it and didnt come back and i don't have i cloud
please help

Ok. well i've chosen an older phone back up to restore from and i get most of my addresses back. but then they delete again after a few mins presumably due to a mobile me sync. ive tried to get into the phones settings and turn off the sync but either its not in time or that in itself is causing the contacts to delete. all a bit of a 'mare.

Sync them back from whatever contact manager or cloud service you were syncing them with.

I made a mistake and saved my spouse's contacts and pictures from her phone onto mine. I have lost all my contacts and prior settings. Is there anyway to restore my lost contacts and settings?

Lost contacts and calendar events

When I synced my IPhone with ITunes most recently, all but about 6 of my phone contacts, and about a third of my events on my calendar, disappeared. How can I get them back? The only restore option I can see through ITunes is for the date of the sync that created the problem. Help!

I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to. Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

Iphone lost contacts and possible hack

My wife's iPhone and iPad keep asking her to provide her password to receive emails and this morning has lost a lot of her contacts including regularly used contacts. A day ago it said she had overnight changed her used name and password when she had not. Has she been hacked? Our ISP is Btinternet.com.
There is nothing on Apples support site about hacking. Help.

I just had the same thing happen. All of a sudden all contacts and calendar events were gone from the phone. I sync with Yahoo and I deleted the account, re-established it again, still no contacts or calendar events. The other problem that cropped up a couple of weeks ago were that my photos were frozen. I can take pictures just fine, but when I want to review or send them. The app locks up each and every time.
The solution? I powered the phone down and once I powered it back up, everything now works! Contacts and calendar events are back and the photo app works again!

I was migrating from a 3gs to the 4s. Big mistake. Have lost contacts and access to music and apps.

I was migrating from a 3gs to the 4s. Having never upgraded the IOS before, I thought that I should do that before handed the phone down to my daughter to replace her broken 3g. Big mistake. Even using Google sync for my contacts, following instruction from the Google webpage (ambiguous: cancel or not when error message is displayed?) the contacts did not sync to gmail. iTunes says it will sync contacts, but doesn't from the phone, only from the few that were in my old Gmail account. The iCloud set up asks for email and a new password- not specifying that you should use your old email and password for your old iTunes account or your phone will be instantly locked out of those apps and tunes stored there. The web info says you can't merge accounts or passwords, so, I bet I have to cancel the new set up and start over with the old password if it will even let me. I've spent 8 hrs reading, syncing, et c., on this! It will be a long time before I casually buy a new phone from them! I wonder how much time it will take to switch from the 3GS to the 4S? I now have a 3GS without contacts, no way to get the data from those files back, and can't get the apps to it or the 4S until Apple support helps fix the double identity problem.
Considering that I had verbal instructions from the Apple store prior to the IOS upgrade, reviewed all the details on line, I think this process is woefully lacking in clarity and transparency. The local ATT branch offered nothing except backing up to avoid loss of contacts if both phones were taken to the store, but not any help with the IOS or iTunes content. Cable internet for the 3GS backup and IOS 5 upgrade seemed to take about 2 hours. At least calender, notes, etc. were done correctly and 2500 picture and videos were not removed.

After the last post,I went to the local ATT for some feedback. The manager there, Stephen, was helpful and spent a long time, even after i had gotten the abbreviated list of contacts I had constructed from the 3GS to the 4S by an iTunes sync with the correct options selected. This however, would not sync notes. I took screen pix of my many stock symbols for future reference, and got them to transfer with Bump (as photos, in case I want to refresh my memory on some of the symbols added previously). I emailed myself copies of 28 notes i did not want to lose, because the iCloud back up would not initially work. After what seemed like years, I finally was able to get it working, following repeated refusal to Merge because of "not enough space available" @5GB even though everything was turned off except contacts and calendar.
My old phone is finally backed up to the cloud after I turned off location service on new phone, and a bunch of apps and photo data showed up for the first time, as icons to be turned off on the old phone in the Manage Storage window. It said it was going to back up 8 GB of photos when the photo backup had been turned off on the prior screen. (The screws are loose, and the worm has turned on this software at Apple.)
Backup for notes, a few contacts, and calendar, over high speed wifi, took 25 minutes to complete without photos.
I have never seen anything this troublesome in the Apple OS!
You will need to set your own Apple ID and a .me email ID if you want to use the cloud. My recommendation and that of the store manager for the first time is don't back up any photos, let it erase the photo stream if it wants to. The camera roll should be ok.
Backing up to the iCloud removed all my stocks from the old phone! It wasn't supposed to. Be sure to select leave data on phone at every opportunity- even so, there they went. It did not remove contacts or calendar when backing up, though the IOS 5 upgrade had lost my years of contacts since I had not specified that they should be saved when I hit the simple sync in iTunes the first time and since Googlesync failed to connect properly for me over wifi as noted above.
All in all it appears nothing is going to clone your phone or preserve all the data through a IOS 4.x to 5 migration, though I did not do it right the first time with iTunes, and complicated matters by starting with a new ID instead of my old iTunes account and password, living in a small town, away from any Apple store, though if you can't be there at an Apple store with both phones in hand, they probably can't help much unless they walk you through each option in iTunes and you are very attentive. The store genius I saw did not do this, though I had yet to order the phone at that point.
Good Luck!

Lost contacts and calendar, possibly MobileMe related

My wife just lost all contacts and calendar from her iPhone 4. She had been bothered by repeated requests by the phone for her MobileMe password. As far as she knew, she was not a MobileMe user, so our son disabled the MobileMe account on the phone. After this, the contacts and calendar were gone. She has tried online and phone help, as well as a visit to an Apple Store, with no luck. Is it possible that her data still exist and can be recovered?

She obviously has a MobileMe account or there would be no MobileMe account to disable on her iPhone. And if her contacts are now gone, this means she was syncing contacts over the air on her iPhone with her MobileMe online address book. When turning contacts off for over the air syncing on the iPhone and when deleting or disabling the account on the iPhone, contacts synced over the air go with it or are removed from the iPhone.
Her contacts should be available with her MobileMe online address book unless she signed up for a MobileMe trial account for 60 days and didn't purchase the account allowing it to expire.
Regardless, her contacts should be available on her computer as well. If the contacts are available in an address book app that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone, she can sync contacts direct with the supported address book app on her computer via the iTunes sync process.

I was trying to send photos from my iPhone 4 to iPad 2 and must of had done something wrong because all my contacts were lost and more importantly for me are pictures ( they were too deleted.) I tryed to back up but all I was able to get back were the contacts and pictures from 4 months ago when I synced in my iPhone to the computer. Is there a way to get back the contacts and pictures ????

IOS6 upgrade - lost contacts and calendar

Hadn't yet upgraded my iMac OS becasue of the likelihood of this sort of problem. Upgraded my iPhone to iOS6 and now I have no contacts or calendar. I use Outlook as default on my iMac, and all contacts and calendar info is still there (thank God - I use this for my business!) I still have texts (which only show phone numbers, not names!) and emails.
For a similar problem some time back, Apple suggested clearing the iSync log which worked a treat - not this time! I do not have iCloud enabled (yet) except to find my iPhone. I have iTunes 10.7 and my iMac OS is 10.6.8. I have tried adding my iPhone as a device in iSync, but get the message to say it cannot communicate with my iPhone. I suspect the basic problem is that Outlook is no longer syncing with Address Book and iCal - all the info was duplicated there before - no longer!
Any help/suggestions gratefully received...right now, I need this info on my iPhone, but don't have the time to upgrade my iMac OS. When I do that, I also plan to change from Outlook as my default email/calendar/addressbook and use Mail, iCal and Address Book instead.

This is just an educated guess, but I think most if not all problems are related to data not synced with another service like Google or corporate mail. Data manually entered, and stored in the PlayBook only is lost. Even though this should not happen. Can someone verify this theory?

Lost contacts and photos during a backup. Can I retrieve them without a new backup?

I plugged in my husband's phone to add music and it made me update iTunes before doing so. I did and it restored my husband's phone to an old backup from a while ago. He lost all his new contacts and photos, which include our daughter's birth that was this week. I'm so mad right now. Is there any way to recover these without a current backup?

If you had an IMAP mail account then all your emails are stored on the server, so install Thunderbird and create the IMAP mail account to see folders and emails on the server.
If you had a POP mail account then all of your emails were stored on the computer and you should have been creating regular backups of your Profile folder or at least created a backup of your Profile (and any other documents / images etc on your computer ) before wiping the computer/reformatting and reinstalling OS. So you can use the backup to reinstall the Profile. If you used MozBackup tool to create the *.psv file, then reinstall MozBacktool and use it to restore the Profile.
* Backup: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
If you did not create a backup of the Profile, but backed up/saved emails as .eml files saved to an external device, then you could use this addon to put those .eml files back into the new Profile.

Lost Contacts and without a MobileMe account..

Hi, Just yesterday I've lost all my contacts suddenly on my iphone 3GS. I read for many ways to recover it, it all say to recover them from a MobileMe Mail account, but I do not have a mobileme account and i've not synced my phone to my itunes for backup before. Is there any way for me to recover my contacts? In my Mails, Contacts and Calender settings, i'm only connected to my hotmail. Will there still be stored backup somewhere on the server or something? Because the contacts just disappeared and have yet to return. Please Help!

And if her contacts are now gone, this means she was syncing contacts over the air on her iPhone with her MobileMe online address book.

HT204150 Getting error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened") when clicking on "iCloud' folder in Outlook 2007. Lost contacts and calendar in outlook 2007 while installing icloud.

Vista + Outlook 2007 + Icloud : Lost all contacts and calendar in outlook when installing/Synchronizing iCloud. Both still available on iphone and iCloud.
How to get them back in Outlook? Understand iCloud erased them and transferred them in an other outlook account. In Outlook 2007, I can see a folder called "iCloud" but get an error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened...") when clicking on it. I suspect all is there, but no access possible. I assume some Outlook settings are uncorrect, but wonder which settings...?

Well. Working just fine now, since uninstalling and re-installing icloud and syncing.
