My contacts are being erased

My contacts area just being erased from my phone and iCloud as well, sistematicly and one by one and I can´t stop it. They just desapear. What can I do? I saw similar questions, but any of them with answers, is just frustating.

I had the same thing happen to me about the first 10 times I synced my phone. Any contacts I created on the phone were deleted, and any updates made on the phone reverted back to what was in Outlook...it was clearly not syncing, but overriding for some reason.
However, it seems like that problem has now resolved itself. I have't done anything other than to continually re-enter the contacts, and suddenly one day everything worked fine. I have not experienced this issue in my last dozen syncs or so - so hopefully it will self-resolve for you also - but you are not alone on the issue, I also contacted the support number and they're weren't able to offer any suggestions or reasoning why at that time either.
Good luck!

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

  • My phone is doing random things in IOS7 people are being erased and even blocked from my contact list.

    Random contacts are being deleted and even added to my blocked list. Anyone else experincing this?

    In my case, my iphone start opening random contacts and calling them, opening other applications at random, contacts, etc. I've noticed though that this seems to happen only when it is connected to the cable recharging (not connected to my mac but just connected to wall electric outlet).
    Really odd behavior, and no ammount of rebooting the phone will fix it.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    how can I tell if my contacts are being updated and stored in my cloud?

    Log into icloud.com with a computer's browser and look at the contacts page.  This lists the contacts currently stored on the icloud servers.

  • ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

    iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
    I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • What does it mean, in iTunes, "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air"?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5 with my contacts on my Mac Book Air (merge them), I'm also using Outlook (Microsoft) to manage my email account and my contacts.  I used to sync my contacts from my previous iPhone (4S) with my contacts on my Mac and also with contacts on Outlook.
    Now that I have iPhone 5 I missed that sync (iPhone-Mac-Outlook), so I figure it out that in iTunes there is this message: "your contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer. This may result in duplicated data showing on your device"
    Every contact created on iPhone doesn't sync with my Mac or Outlook.
    How should I configure my iphone and my mac to sync properly??
    Thanks a lot!
    Kind Regards,

    Not surprisingly there have been no answers to this question because the only person who knows how to use iTunes/iCloud/iPhone is too busy.

  • Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

    tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
    Explanation:
    Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
    In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
    However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
    The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
    Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

    I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

  • HT4759 not all of my contacts are being uploaded to icloud from my iphone

    not all of my contacts are being uploaded to icloud from my iphone

    OK...sorry, couldn't delete my last 2 posts...
    You can change the default account to iCloud in the Notes settings. This way everytime you make a note it will automatically be in the iCloud folder. Now all I need to do is copy and paste my old notes into new iCloud ones

  • HT1296 my itunes say that my contacts are being synced over the air but nothing is happening??

  • HT4759 not all my contacts are being sync from my IPad or IPhone to ICloud?

    When backing up IPhone 5s or Mini IPad retina, not all my contacts are backing up or showing in ICloud?

    I assume that you have enabled contacts syncing with iCloud in Settings>iCloud on your devices.  If so, and some of your contacts don't appear on icloud.com, open the contacts app and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed such as On My iPhone (iPad), Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • JPG files are being erased by PE 5 Organizer

    I have experienced a weird incident with Photoshop Element 5.0, to which I
    couldn't believe until I could reproduce it: *the PE Organizer erases all
    *.JPG files in the pictures' directory I am working on when closing under
    certain conditions.* You will find in appendix the report of the tests I
    have been running.
    The procedure that leads to files being deleted is the following:
    - Initial state: PE 5.0 Editor and Organizer inactive. The directory
    contains 2 JPG files (IMG_0177a.JPG). The files in the directory are sorted
    by file type.
    1. Open PE 5.0 Organizer.
    2. Select picture IMG_0022.CR2.
    3. Click on "Go to full edit". The directory still contains the 2 .jpg
    files.
    4. Save the file after edit as IMG_0022.DNG. The directory still contains
    the 2 .jpg files.
    5. Click on "Open image".  The directory still contains the 2 .jpg files.
    6. Save the picture as IMG_0022.JPG. The directory contains now 3 .jpg
    files.
    7. Close the file in the Editor. The directory still contains the 3 .jpg
    files.
    8. Click onto the Organizer window to give it the focus. The directory
    still contains the 3 .jpg files.
    9. Close the Organizer. The 3 .jpg files are no longer in the directory.
    The appendix shows more details (screenshots) of my tests (see tests 1 and
    3).
    I couldn't find any configuration in PE that can cause this behaviour. I
    could also find no mention of it on your support site. Could you please
    help me?
    - Is that behaviour made possible through a configuration preference or is
    it a known bug?
    - If it is a bug, is there a fix for it?
    - If not, how else can I avoid such deletions?
    - If I store the .JPG files in a subdirectory of that where the raw photo
    files are stored, can I be sure that the JPG files will never be erased
    through that behaviour?
    I have just experienced that incident only this fall because I have just
    installed PE 5.0 and started processing raw photo files recently (I had PE
    4 up to then).
    My configuration:
    - PC with Windows XP Pro SP3 and all updates installed. 1.5 GB RAM. Drive
    C: is 37 GB, free space is 13 GB.
    - I got PE 5.0.2 with my Canon camera I bought in January 2008. I installed
    the update in August 2012. No add-on SW has been installed to PE.
    - I store my photo files on a NAS disk (La Cie 1 TB, free space: 203 GB)
    and use another NAS disk for backup copies (that backup disk is only
    running for backups; it was never running when I experienced the incident
    below).
    - My photo files are stored in directories organized by date and event. Up
    to now, I have been storing all types of photo files in one directory per
    event (.CR2, .JPG, .DNG).
    Best regards
    Dominique

    Not sure why this is happening this way but may be closing PSE processes which access and work upon files in the background might make a difference.
    Please launch Organizer and click Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis and turn off all checkboxes.
    From the task manager, kill the following exes if running-
    ElementsAutoAnalyzer
    Adobe Photoshop File Agent
    Dynamic Link Manager
    repeat your workflow and check if the issue still happens.
    Thanks

  • Wrong email contacts are being used

  • Checkbox actions are being erased

    I have a form I created (based on a table) using LiveCycle Designer.  The form contains checkboxes.  The checkboxes have actions associated with them that populate another field on the form when the box is checked.  This all works well until I alter the format of the form.  As soon as I do that, all of the checkbox actions are erased.  How do I keep this from happening?

    Unfortunately this is still an issue.
    I followed the helpful suggestions above to restore the preferences. Indeed I went further and performed a clean installation of lightroom and other adobe products on my system (and tidied up and removed old versions of software too).
    The example below shows the top left image highlighted in BOTH grid and filmstrip.  I then toggle a blue/red colour label. You can clearly see the colour label incorrectly changing on the central non-highlighted image. All actions I apply including deletion are performed on this incorrect image which is clearly dangerous.
    Again the problem seemed to occur whilst I was editing images that had be filtered using the text-keyword filter.
    Any more suggestion on a fix would be most welcome.
    Mike.
