Lost contacts when in use (not when synching). Is this a Lion problem?

HI all
I have recently updated to Lion OS. When I synched my phone last night all was well. This morning when I used my contacts, they were all there. Now all of a sudden they are ALL gone.
Am I able to get these back-they are important ones!
Is this a "Lion" problem? I am also noticing screen/app freezes.
thanks

Some of the contacts data is stored in the iPhone backup made when you backup with iTunes, but this is for limited purposes such as maintaining the recent call list and favorite contacts. You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your Mac like Address Book or cloud service (i.e MobileMe, iCloud, Gmail)
What you can do now to try to recover your contatacts.
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore the existing backup in iTunes:
   a. Disable automatic syncing on connection in iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable
   b. Connect phone
    c. Right-click the device tab on left side of iTunes window and select "Restore from backup."

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Thank you.

Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

This looks like a change of behaviour in iTunes 12. Once songs are queued up to the Up Next list then they play whether ticked or not. If you want to skip certain songs already queued click the Up Next tool, then click the small X to the left of the song that appears when you hover over it.

DBCA Producing ORA 12547 TNS lost contact when I try to create a database

Hi all!
I just installed Oracle 11GR2 (only software not creating a database) on Oracle Linux 6.4 64 Bit via Oracle VM VirtualBox. I created a new Listener to create a database. It looks working. But when I try to create a new database with dcba; I had an ORA-12547 TNS lost contact after I had specified all options for creating the database. I'm too new to get what's going on here. Already, the Oracle Software has occured a few errors while the installation. But the software has been installed successfully at the end. Maybe I went wrong from the beginning. What should I do about managing that ORA error? Can anybody suggest me something?
Btw I have installed the all installations with information on this link: ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Installation On Oracle Linux 6
If we consider that I did nothing after those installation, what should the next step be to create a database successfully?

Lost contacts when restoring new phone with old phones back up?

I have just bought a new lap top and I have transferred all my files over to it. I backed up my I phone 3gs and then restored my new I phone 4gs with the back up. Everything went well except my contacts and apps are not on my new 4gs? Mail settings, old text messages pictures etc all there? Where can I find them?
The second problem I had is I downloaded the latest software on my I phone 4 it has lost all my contacts after finishing the download? Where have they gone?

If your contacts are still on your 3GS download the free app My Contacts backup on your 3GS. It will back up your contacts and an email attachment. Send this email to yourself and open it on your 4S. Tap the attachment to import your contacts to your 4S. Don't know what to tell you about your iPhone 4; your contacts there are probably gone. If they are the same as the ones on your 3GS, open the same email and import your contacts on your iPhone 4.

Lost all contacts when synching iPhone4 iPad3 & PC

Help please.
I have a year old iPhone4 with contacts that I have never backed up or synched. I know this was risky. My husband just bought me an iPad3 and he attempted to synch my PC, Outlook Express, the iPad3 and the iPhone4. We were trying once and for all to back it all up so the files would be safe and so both the iPad3 and iPhone4 would have the current contacts. I wound up with stupid Outlook contacts (like empty files and spammers) on my iPhone4 and iPad3 but the original contacts on the iPhone4 were gone. I spent hours re-creating the majority of the data on the iPad3 the other night.
Then today he tried to move the iPad3 contacts to the PC by synching. Instead somehow all the good contacts disappeared from the iPad3 and the iPhone4. All I am left with again is stupid incomplete and spam files from my Outlook loaded into the apple devices again -- which I don't want anyway!!
My husband has been synching his iPad2 with his PC and Blackberry, integrating Outlook Express with contacts and calendars with no problem for months now. He is completely befuddled about what he has done with my data twice now. He doesn't know why when he tries to synch my devices in the same manner as he synches his, it messes everything up.
He was using iTunes and thought he was using iCloud yet thinks he also synched to Outlook Express.
Where have the good files gone?
I have spent an hour reading forums here and also on the web and can't find anything to help me with this. I can't even find where the contact files could be on my PC itself.
HELP please! I'm desperate!

We found the missing contacts in OUTLOOK EXPRESS trash can. I am in the process of manually re-entering every single one.
I will have to figure out the proper procedure for backing up the iPhone4 and using iCloud so this doesn't happen again. For now I have my hands full doing all manual re-entry. This stinks but it's better than losing it all permanently.
(The files were not in Windows anywhere or on the PC they are in Outlook Express.)

Lost contacts when updating to OS 5

I updated my iphone 4g to OS5 last night and lost all of my contacts. Is there a way to download my contacts from my imac back onto my phone?

When I go to settings, then icloud, if I scroll to the very bottom of icloud, the very last thing I can do is 'delete account.' Does that mean delete the icloud account?
Ian, I see that you have answered many questions from several people on this board and I for one want to thank you for taking the time to do so. I' ve had my iphone for quite a while and am still very afraid of it. I use it for the phone, getting my emails, and messaging. I have never used any of the other features.
Now that I updated and lost my contacts, it confirms why I am so afraid of it.
I would never use icloud so I can't even tell you why I got it.

Lost contacts when I connected to cloud

I own an iMac and an iPhone. I have been syncing directly to the iMac rather than using iCloud but I decided to start using iCloud to sync. When I connected both my iMac and iPhone to the iCloud I lost many phone numbers on my iphone. Is there any way I can get them back?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You may have opted to have iCloud data overwrite your iPhone data rather than merge it.
What happens if you turn off contact syncing on the phone, some users have reported that their contacts are restored.

Lost Contacts when syncing

When I synced my phone today I lost my contacts, how can I recover them? Where does iTunes store them if I don't have outlook or a similar app?

If you have done a backup of your BB phone through the Desktop Manager software before the sync, you can restore your phone and its original contacts.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that your Mac address book did replace the exisiting ones on your BB ... according to what you describe. Was the sync really tuned to "Bi-directional" when you connected your phone to the Mac?
If positive, then they should be present on both devices.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

Lost Contact when I upgraded to 7.5.2/iOS5

When I upgraded to 10.7.2/iOS5, my wife's iPhone3GS address book was lost. I thought I had backed it up via iTunes (under her phone designation), but when I finished the conversion, her iPhone3GS had MY AddressBook/Contacts. Note: My iPhone4 AddressBook converted accurately. Can I get her contacts back from Time Machine?

Unfortunately, the loss is a result of upgrading to 10.7.2 and iOS5. Throw into the mix that I've updated my iTunes as well to 10.5. All this was done to lead into a smooth transition to iCloud and all the features of the OS updates. Like I said, my contacts in Address Book and on my iPhone4 Contacts went well. It's my wife's information that was lost and replaced with MY contacts. Her iPhone3GS is running iOS5 now. Since I've been syncing her phone since before the transition, I was hoping to retrieve her contacts from Time Machine prior to Oct.12.
Is THAT possible? How do I achieve this?

Lost contacts when updated iPhone? Where are they?

Updated to 6.0.1. and when I went to use phone my contact have gone. Any idea where they might be or how I can get them back?

I've no idea what this is, sorry. I've since tried a backup restore but only got favorite contacts back. How would I find out what program is used during sync?

Lost contacts when the iCloud turned on

I turned on the iCloud on my iOs 6.1.4 iPhone 5, and turned on the contacts (it was the first time that I configured the iCloud account, so it asked me to merge with the iCloude contacts. Since it was a fresh iCloude account, I opted the option to merge the contacts). But when I checked the recent caller log, I noticed that some of my contacts are lost. Is there anyway I can get back my contacts?

Kilted Tim
It worked! Thank you.
Now I just need to delete the email address that are cluttering up my phone contact list.
Again, thanks.

Lost contacts when turned cloud off

I lost the contacts on my iphone 4S when a tech guy at work turned off my cloud and had my contacts update to Outlook. I turned the cloud back on, but don't know how to get the contacts back. Now I have duplicates and triplicate contacts, but the phone numbers are all gone.

Lost contacts when upgrading ios and merging to cloud

I recently upgraded to iOS ver 6.0 Came to a question to "merge with Cloud". I had not intentionally used iCloud before but assuming merge ment the union of what was on iCloud and what was on phone, checked yes.
All my contacts were lost! on the phone. I have gone through the advice to turn off contacts/cloud etc to no avail.
The original data is not on the icloud.com!
Is there any way to recover original contacts?
thanks!

They will be in whatever program/cloud service you have been syncing.
If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.
