MobileMe/Iphone Contact Info Gone!!!  Out the blue...

I use MobileMe Push service as my primary email ([email protected]). When I unlocked my iPhone a few minutes ago and went to "Recent" calls, no names were there...only a list of phone numbers. When I go to "contacts", same thing: all the info is GONE except the name. *** just happened?? Has anyone else experienced this??
I still have my Macbook with all of the original contact info and I also have Time Machine backups, but when I power up tonight, I don't want the "cloud" to overwrite the Macbook and remove all my contact info!!
I have no clue as to what's going on. Any suggestions??

Well..my original post was at 11-something this morning, Eastern time. It's 7:15 now ...and still..no luck. I'm relieved it's not just me however. That said, I just turned "off" MobileMe Contacts on the phone and did a manual sync via Itunes and ..viola...all contacts are back, but still...this *****.
The problems is actually worse now. Before, at least my contacts were on the phone, just w/o the additional info (phone number, address, etc.). Now, when I turn MobileMe Contacts "on", ...absolutely nothing happens. I logged in to me.com and all my contact info is there, 100%. Nothing is getting pushed to the phone. Oddly enough, the other apps (mail, calendar, etc.) seem to be working fine.
I think I'll just go w/o MobileMe Contacts for a day or two until Apple can sort this out...

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

    Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.

I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project?

  • Why the iPhone 4 16GB drains out the battery faster after upgrading to ios 5?

    Why the iPhone 4 16GB drains out the battery faster after upgrading to ios 5?

    Not sure, but try this:
    Let the battery drain to below 20% (I went to about 14%).
    Plug your phone in and leave it to charge COMPLETELY. This took my phone somewhere around 4 hours to complete.
    When you're done, you may have better luck keeping a charge.
    iOS 5 adds a lot of additional communication, and every time you connect wirelessly to anything, more power is used. Even so, some people report that a battery cycle like this helps. It seems to have worked for me.

  • Saving iphone contact info prior to synching with mobileMe

    I have contact info on my iphone that isn't stored anywhere else; It has just been transferred from one cell phone to another for several years. I also have other contact info on Google Contacts, and have synched the goog info to mobileMe. Is it possible to save/upload the iphone's contact info to MobileMe without having to manually re-enter all this info into goog or mobileme? I can't seem to find a way to do this after a great deal of research.

  • When i attempt to sync my iPhone contacts to my iMac, the info button does not appear in iTunes

    When I attempt to sync my iPhone contacts to my iMac using iTunes, the "info" button does not appear.  Any ideas on what I can do?

    Sync your contacts (and calendars) using iCloud.

  • Contact info gone when I sinc

    I just upgraded to a 3G and want to fix something that has been a problem for about 2 years before I add all my contact info. Here's the deal.
    In contacts I put in a company's name then their main number. I then add a phone and put numerous names and numbers in there. Some companies have 10-15 names and numbers.
    Example:
    ABC Company
    bob smith 614-555-1212
    bob smith cell 614....
    larry smith....
    Larry Cell
    Amy smith
    Amy cell
    Now all this shows up on my I-phone fine but it doesn't show up in my outlook address book. Outlook only recognizes 3 numbers per contact. If anything happens to my phone and need to sync up I will lose all but 3 of the numbers. Per my example, Bob's numbers and one of Larry's numbers will be there all the others will be gone.
    I tried an apple store, e-mail to apple and everyone else, nuttin. Everyone says "I never heard about that". Today someone said there is box/menu to change the number of phone numbers in outlook but I’ve spent an hour looking and can’t find a thing.
    Using widows XP, Outlook 2007
    Anyone???????????
    Thanks
    Jay

    What you need to do is create every person at ABC Co as a separate contact on your iPhone and include "ABC Co" in the company line. They will each then become a separate address book entry in Outlook when you sync.
    To quickly find everyone at ABC Co in your iPhone contacts, use the search function (at the every top of the contacts list), enter "ABC Co" in the search box and by the time you have got part way through entering the company name, a list of everyone at the company will have appeared on your screen for you to select the one you want to call. This will also enable you to include more information about each contact (e-mail address, cellphone number, notes or even a photo) should you want to.
    You may also want to create a separate entry for the company itself to avoid having to enter address, main switchboard, website details etc for every contact at the company.
    Incidentally, even if all the information in a contact entry on the iPhone doesn't sync with your address book, it will nonetheless be backed up when you connect the iPhone to iTunes. Should you lose the phone, you can restore everything that was on it when you last backed it up to a new one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contacts have gone out of Sync

    My contacts in my phone have gone out of sync with the Headings.
    E.g Names beginning with S are now spread over P, Q, R, S, T etc not in 'S'?
    Any ideas?
    Also my voicemail just cuts off after saying "I am forwarding you.......beep..off"
    I wish this iphone was as easy as my MAC

    billybunnyuk,
    You may have changed the way your iPhone sorts and displays your contacts. Check in Settings > Phone and see if your Sort Order and Display Order are the same or opposites.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I replace address book on iMac with iPad/iPhone contact info?

    I've been using my iPad and iPhone to record contact information, and they sync with each other via iCloud. I realize now I should have recording this on the iMac and then syncing with the other devices.
    But at this point, I'd like to replace all address book information on my iMac with the iPad/iPhone contact information. What's the best way to do this? I'm concerned that, while trying to sync either device with the iMac, I might somehow do the opposite - replace contact info on the device with address book info from the iMac.
    I appreciate any suggestions.

    Start by backing up the contacts on your Mac by opening Address Book (Contacts) and going to File>Export>Contacts Archive, save this on your desktop.  Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your iPhone and use it to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself. (Note: if you have >500 contacts you'll need to either purchase and use the Pro version, or follow the instructions listed under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts" in this guide to dowload them from icloud.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.)
    I'm assuming at this point that you are NOT syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud.  If you are, do not perform the steps in this paragraph.  Assuming you are not syncing your Mac contacts with iCloud, open Address Book (Contacts), go to View>Groups, then click on All Contacts.  Click on a single contact, then go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts.  Now press your delete key to delete them.  Your Mac Address Book (Contacts) should now be empty.  Now open the My Contacts Backup email on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import the contacts from your iPhone to your Mac Address Book (Contacts).

  • HT4528 my iphone synced with my computer and left my contact info but erased the address and phone numbers but left notes and email addresses on the phone and computer

    Is there any way to restore the addresses and phone numbers to the contacts on the iphone and computer that were erased after it synced?

    Then chances are you won't be able to get them back.  You can try restoring from your last iPhone backup to see if they're still there.  To do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences; on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup.  Of course, if your backup has already been overwritten with a new backup that doesn't contain the missing contact information then this will not restore it to your phone.)  When done you can go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

  • Locate lost iphone or remotely wipe out the data

    Is there any software and/or service out there that would a) help me to locate my iPhone in the event I lose it or b) allow me to remotely wipe out what's on my iPhone in the event I've lost it and don't want the info on it accessed by somebody else?

    Yes, you can use mobile me and choose not to sync, but MobileMe was designed to co-exist with Exchange. You can sync your personal calendar and work calendar and keep them separate.
    Keep in mind that to use the remote wipe and find functions of mobile me, you have to leave location services on and the bad guy could just turn it off.
    There are some 3rd party alternatives:
