Missing contacts since iOS6 update

Hi there,
Since the iOS6 update, I have lost a large amount of contacts that I can not even track on iCloud. I had no problems with the previous iOS5 update!!  I did have an iPhone 4 that was stolen but did managed to get all my contacts back onto my new phone. So my query is...how can I get iTunes to show me my previous iPhone to transfer all contacts?
Hope someone can help me, it is very fustrating!

Your contacts (if you're using the phone as designed) are synched to your contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook) or with a cloud service (Google, iCloud).  Synch them back from wherever you store them for safe keeping.

  • HT1338 since IOS6 update i cannot air print from my ipad3 and iPhone4. Any ideas??????

    since IOS6 update i can use Air print on my IPAD3 and IPHONE 4. Can anyone help??????????

    I have the same problem as do many others. Neither my iPhone 3 or 4 work since upgrading to ios6.
    All Windows based devices work fine it is just a problem with ios6, I think Apple are working on this.
    Was about to buy a mac laptop but now gone back to PC.
    I think all we can do is make a fuss to Apple to hurry them along.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes since iOS6 update.

    Is anyone else having difficulty connecting to the iTunes Store since the iOS6 update? I have this problem on my iPad and my iPhone 4S. I have logged out and back in on both devices...all to no avail. If anyone has run into this issue, what have you done to get it fixed?

  • 4s STILL not connecting to home wifi since ios6 update

    My wife and I both have the 4s.  We have not been able to use our home wifi since the ios6 update in Sept'12.
    Our macbook, ipad, and tivo all connect just fine.  Our 4s's work fine on any other wifi we need - just not the same dlink router dir-615 we've been using for years.
    I've reset my phone, i've reset the router, i'm on WPA/WPA2.  We're able to use wifi on the 4s for apps and google for about 2 minutes (this is when i assume everyone says "yey! it's fixed") only then stops working, but still shows we're connected to wifi.
    Apple blames the router (some threads speak of apple router's not even working)
    Dlink blames the iphone software (i've read even brand new iphones still don't work)
    Verizon doesn't care because neither of the products are theirs and i'm using more of my data plan - so they win.
    i'm growing increasingly embarassed to be "all apple" when i see the thousands of others with the same problem - and NO HELP from Apple.  We're basically on our own here - when we used to be able to rely on the company for expert solutions.
    I need a solution that is simple.  I want a solution that's easy for guests to use my wifi with out taking their phone apart, rewiring it, hooking it up to my car battery, deciphering 4 different codes, and taking an online course at MIT.  I just want to use my password and get on my wifi.
    please help - and if you can provide any tips, please ensure you're read the above first!

    i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009. 
    This was my first clue.
    After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link.  This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc.  Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info.  D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers. 
    Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
    Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes.  The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
    If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem.  some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
    Hope this helps at least a few people out there.

  • Sound problems since ios6 update :(

    No sounds from my iPad apart from when playing music. Nothing on apps. No unlock sounds or keypad sounds. All since I updated to ios6. Have checked settings etc but they are the same as they were before the update. Unsure as to why this has happened.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IPhone 3 battery draining since iOS6 update

    My husband has an iPhone 3G (not a 3GS) and since I updated it with iOS6, his battery is draining very quickly.  I had the same problem when I had an iPhone 3GS and updated it to iOS4.  I thought my battery draining was because my phone was so old, so I got a new one and then the bug fix came out.  Has anyone heard if there will be a bug fix for battery issues on iOS6?  Any other thoughts as to why his battery is draining so quickly?  I have changed the settings (brightness, no apps running in background, push notifications, etc.) as best I can to make sure it's not using too much battery, but that does not help.

  • Facebook video black screen since IOS6 update

    Since I did an IOS6 update this afternoon, the videos on facebook are coming up as black screens only.  When this happened previously, enabling secure browing in facebook did the trick.  This time, that isn't working ..

  • Facebook not connecting since iOS6 update

    Hi Guys, since i did my iOS6 update I havent been able to connect on my facebook App. All other apps and safari are working fine on my wifi. Facebook time's out. Anyone else having this issue or know how I can fix it?

    You can try rebooting your ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Try signing out of facebook, then back in.

  • TS2756 since ios6 update I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone hotspot

    I updated both my iphone 4 and ipad 3 to ios6.  Since then I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone personal hotspot.  I did the reset network on both devices.  It did work for one session but then I could never get it to work again.  Has anyone found a fix for this?  Should I call my carrier?

    Follow the troubleshooting steps outlined in the troubleshooting document from which you posted your question.

  • 2 devices - confused identity since iOS6 update

    Both my phone and my husbands are registered to my account.  During the iOS6 upgrade a message popped up asking something along the lines of "co you want to share information between both devices" and I clicked yes.  Since then any text message I send to my husband is automatically duplicated in my text messages, any text message I send to a contact that we both share says it has come from my husband and he receives copies of all messages I send ......please help!!!
    How do I undo this and go back to individual messaging properties?  I have plugged in and looked though the account on iTunes and briefly looked through my settings and I can't see how to do it.........
    Thank you!!!!

    I am experiencing the exact same thing, we went to his numbers and made sure that his phone stated his cell number and not mine and then we turned imessaging off. I sure hope this stops this nonsense. Its crazy!

  • Iphone 4 missing music after ios6 update

    Since I have updated my IPhone 4 with IOS 6 it has not functioned well at all. Music is missing (but on Mac, Ipad1, I touch 1), 70%of apps in waiting, phone says I am not subscribed to ITunes match (which I am). Funny how my touch and pad are fine because they could not be updated (IOS 5 still) and yet my phone is messed up. I contated customer support and they are stumped as well. Any suggestions?

    Even more strangely, all the albums I have checked in iTunes on my iMac show in "Music" but almost all the songs are greyed out, with a few random ones showing. When synching the iPhone to theiMac a long blue bar indicates that the music is there but it doesn't transfer to the iPhone. The files on the iMac play fine via iTunes on the iMac.
    I have done a full "Restore" but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?

  • Is there any reported issue about wifi connectivity on ipad since IOS6 update

    Since updated to ios6 i have had intermittent problems regarding ipad wifi conectivity. It has had not problem at all in safary (wich is blazing). My problems are with email (problems sending mails) and app store (almost impossible to connect in some cases).
    Thanks in advance

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT5457 My iPad 2 is no longer mirrored on my tv since ios6 update.

    Why does my ipad2 no longer mirror to my tv using hdmi adapter?  This happened after I updated to ios6.

    Only the iPad 3 & 4 support mirroring to a Apple TV.
    The iPad 2 only supports video out to the Apple TV IF the specific app you're using allows it.
