Lost some of contacts after turn off then turn on

After turn off then turn it on . Some contacts r  gone ; only number r leftovers

Hello,
Is it really an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1? I thought it was no longer supported.
I had that occurred to me before but I restored it from an existing backup and the problem went away. If you could, you can try and upload your crash logs from ios 5+ and see what is causing the restart.
If there is nothing to lose (e.g. Data), then you can see if a full restore (e.g. Set it to factor settings)  will help. Below is a link:

I hope this helps but please feel free to wait for others to input.

    My I phone is restart after some time. Some times find out its off then if I press Home + Power button then again re-start. Some time after coming apple logo it take auto restart ...display become blue color. I have restored through I tunes and got I cloud backup. But stll have same problem.

    Try once again to restore using iTunes, but this time without using a backup, to make sure that this is not software related.
    If the phone still restarts on it's own, get it checked, this might then be hardware related after all.

  • I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

    can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
    So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
    It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
    Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
    The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

  • Lost pictures and contacts after wipe

    I had to wipe for phone for an update at work, I thought I had backed up my info but I must have disconnected too early or made a mistake... I lost all my contacts and photos.
    Is there anything I do to retrieve lost data after a wipe?

  • Lost my phone contacts after ios 5 download

    recently downloaded ios 5 to 3gs and lost all phone contacts. Is there a fix

    Did you backup your phone before downloading the new update? If so, you can just restore the phone or sync it. If not, attempt to sync it and see if you can recover them.

  • HT201342 I have lost all my contacts after an upgrade?

    I know I have all my contacts in the cloud but I have not an idea how to put them back onto my iPhone 4S! I managed to get SOME back by syncing but there's loads missing, including some quite vital clinic direct numbers (I have MS and hate going through swivhboards!)please, if you can help, tell me how to do it as if I was a 5 year old! I need easy and succinct instructions, PLEASE HELP!

    If you have logged into icloud.com using a computer's browser and found all your contacts, then it should be easy to get them back.  On the device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off contacts.  Later turn them on again, that should download the contacts.  If it doesn't work, then on the same icloud screen, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again.
    If on the other hand, icloud.com is missing most of the contacts, then you'll have to rely on an icloud backup to restore from.  It's a bit tricky if you have backups turned on,
    Read this link, it covers how to recover from lost contacts from an icloud backup.

  • HELP I seem to have lost all my files after turning on Filevault

    Hey all,
    im completly new to all things Mac, everything has been great so far but now i seem to have lost everything.
    I turned on Filevault protection then shutdown my Macbook, came back to it a couple of hours later and now all of my files, itunes music files have gone, all of the settings and preferences seem to be back to the factory settings, and well everything has dissapeared?!! any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I have no idea how Apple would handle this. I would hope they would tell you to go into an Apple store and have someone there look at it and fix it. That would be very good advice. Trying to fix a problem like this over the phone would be really hard.
    Clearly, your system is no longer mounting your sparseimage file the way it should. The good part of this is that your files are still relatively safe inside that sparseimage. I would not try to turn filevault on or off again. That could be dangerous. Your goal now is backup.
    In the terminal, you can type "open /Users/.stuartcampbell/stuartcampbell.sparseimage" to mount that disk image as a new volume. Hopefully, you can log in as "stuart campbell" and do this. That would be really good. If you can, log in as "stuart campbell", open that disk image, and copy all the files you find into a new folder named "saved files" under the "/Users/Shared" folder. You want to get your files out of that sparseimage and into the real file system.
    Once you get your files out, you can try to turn filevault off again. My hunch is that FileVault is already off. I think your system has created a new home directory for you named "stuart campbell1" because the old one was corrupted. If this is so, you can safely copy all your files from the sparse image into this new account, overwriting anything you already have. (Just make real sure that your current home directory really is just blank data!!!). At this point, you should be running again, with your home directory being named "stuart campbell1".
    If all this is true, try the following. Rename that old "/Users/stuart campbell" folder to /Users/stuart campbell.old". You can run NetInfo, go into "Users", and change your home directory back to "stuart campbell". Then, before doing anything else, rename "stuart campbell1" back to "stuart campbell". Save your NetInfo changes, quit, logout, cross your fingers, and log back in.
    I realize this is very complicated and more than you really want to do. I don't see any way around it. It is very difficult to know exactly what state your system is in and exactly what is going to work and what won't. A trip to the Apple Store or a similar place might be a good idea. I say might because there is no guarantee they can fix it either. There are still way too many steps that say "If this works" and "try this".
    There are some key things to remember and do in any case. Try to open that disk image and get your files out.
    Don't fiddle with any account security settings until your files are out of there.
    Once your data is secure (or rather - in a safe place), you can feel free to fiddle with account settings and swap out those directories to get back to a good state. I can assure you that it will take a bit of fiddling and may not work at all. Just get your files out there and we can get you up to speed again after that.

  • Lost all my contact after OS 10.3 update

    I never merged or linked my other account contact to my blackberry contact app.. because other account contact is not a phone number like twitter and facebook and bbm..
    Last night I updated my device to os 10.3 from blackberry Q10 suddenly all my facebook and bbm contact all merged and linked and I have a total of 3.764 contacts..
    unmerging and unlink or removing all the contact already a pain..
    But you know what is more pain? All my real old phone number contact has all gone.. and I dont have a back up for my contact..
    why would you merge and link all my contact without asking me first blackberry? why would you turn on everything I have turn off the first time? And why would you deleting all my contacts list?
    This is a no way blackberry..
    Blackberry is the finest security device for bussiness???
    HAHAHA
    I have just lost all my IMPORTANT BUSSINESS CONTACTS on the finest security device for bussiness..
    How funny is that???

    totally understand what you are going through.
    ive had issues with all past updates.
    first time it merged as you said all the contacts and facebook even though sync was turned off.
    this time over 6000 messages on facebook even though they get deleted daily.
    i now use this for my contacts and it saves a backup to my sd card. well worth the £1.50 it costs http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/40710893/?lang=en&countrycode=AE

  • Lost some Note files after upgrade to iOS 5

    After I finally succeeded updating to iOS 5, I found some of my Note files are missing
    My update failed the fisrt time with "Unable to restore iPhone" error. I rebooted my Mac and tried the update again. It went the again the "Prepare...", "Sync for restore" again and this time the update worked. But I lost many Note files.
    I wish the backup process is more trouble proof, maybe entirely separate for the update step in which I can for certain save the content of my iPhone.  Then after the update, restore the backup.

    Already tried re-syncing and rebooting both devices with no apparent effect.

  • Help, Lost all my contacts after not purchasing MobileMe

    I tried Mobile Me but did not use it very often so I did no subscribe to it. I deleted the Mobile Me email account since it would not sync anymore. Now all my contacts and appointments are gone. I have not synced my phone with my PC since I am afraid I will loose the contacts stored on my PC. I need to restore my contacts for work purposes and I am totally lost. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    If your contacts are on your computer then enable syncing of contacts and/or calendars on the info tab and sync them back to your iPhone.

  • I lost all my contacts after my friend( who normally syncs/updates from my computer) updated her phone on a different computer.

    My friend and I normally sync and update our iPhones from my computer. I have already updated to the iOS 5. But just the other day she updated her iPhone from a different computer. I did not realize this until I went to text someone and saw that their was only a number and no name in my messages. Then a few minutes later they were all like that. So I checked my address book and noticed I had no contacts, except I had all of my friends contacts.  Some how she deleted all of my contacts. She even deleted them from my back up somehow. I am wonder if this has to do with iCloud. I had my contacts backed up on there. I even tried restoring from back up from a few weeks ago and it did nothing. This is frustrating, and I want to know how to stop this from happening again?

    have you not been using your phone as intended?  You should have been synching your contacts with iCloud, Outlook, or Address Book.
    Synch your contacts back from one of those applications.

  • I lost all my contacts after upgrading to version 5

    I just completed the upgrade on my iphone 3GS and all my contacts disappeared. And when I try to sync, it says that the 'contacts' on my iphone are 'disabled'.  How could this happen.  I did not delete them, disable them, etc.  What a mess.  I should have left it alone. 

    Are you using iCloud? If so, then in settings - icloud, do you have contacts turned on?
    In your contacts app, at the top left, do you see a groups button? If so, tap on it and select all contacts.
    iTunes should have created a backup file before updating. Have restored your contacts using that backup file?
    What settings do you have in iTunes for the syncing contacts?

  • I lost all the contacts after the conversion from MobileMe to iCloud ? What can I do now ?

    What can I do now ?

    Along with checking to see if the documents are still there in the browser, sounds like maybe iCloud turned off on the iPad. You can check in Settings.
    Go to Settings.
    On the left hand side, go to iCloud and make sure it is on and the "Document & Data" are ON.
    Then on the left hand side go to Pages and make sure "Use iCloud" is ON.
    Do the same for Numbers and Keynote.
    Maybe a long shot, but worth checking.

  • I have lost all my contacts after synching my iphone

    All the postings related to this topic seem to indicate that there is no easy solution to this. You can restore from back-up ... but I think i've synched my iphone after my contacts disappeared - so restoring from back up will do no good! iTunes should have a clearer message in future warning users that all contacts will be deleted if you press ok in that window that appeared during the first synch!
    Am very frustrated!
    Is anyone aware of any other solutions?

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
