My contacts are disappearing.

I am going isane with my iphone, god ****!!
My contacts come and like they please, If searche for a specific contact it never comes up but if remember a contact number and type in on my phone, the contacts comes up!!! ***, Whats wrong i have had iphones since the beggining no complains but this is killing.
Please could anyone help me?
Thanks!

Again...the contacts were simply disappearing off of the phone. If anyone else has this problem, I not only had to restore the phone four or five times from my itunes page, but I also had to completely reset the phone to its original default setting under the settings menu on the phone itself, two times. 
What Apple's synching and backup protocols have to do with data mysteriously disappearing off a phone is beyond me, however thanks for not addressing the issue and offering your opinion on the unrelated matter, which perhaps someone else will see the relevance. 
Word of advice for anyone else who comes across the glitch which others on facebook said that they have, backup your phone even if you are afraid that it will back up without the missing information.  After the third restore session I was then able to go back to earlier back up points which seemed to have solved the problem. Unfortunately my calendar appointments entered after mid September are not there due to the late restore point. Some people may want to explain why that it is even though it doesn't address the problem itself, however if you are as frustrated with Apple as I am at this point, you will probably just want to get the **** thing up and running again like it was prior to the file corruption, virus or whatever it was that invaded the phones programming.
Good luck!

    On my ipad, my contacts are radomly disappearing.  Help.

    If contacts are in icloud.com they should not disappear. Check one more place, open calendars and click groups. Try to see if icloud (all icloud) checked. When you start typing names would still show even if you delete contacts, since cache on the phone stays until phone overwrites it. So one has nothing to do with other. If contacts weren't deleted they still suppose to show up in contacts.

  • All my contact are disappear from my iphone 4s

    all my contact are deleted form my iphone

    It could be something with your iCloud. Go to iCloud.com, sign in, and see if your contacts are there. If they are, then try going into Settings > iCloud and turning off Contacts, restart your phone, then turning Contacts back on again. If that doesn't work, delete your iCloud account from your phone, and add your iCloud account back on. If THAT doesn't work, go to settings > reset > reset network settings, reconnect to your wifi network, and that should do it.

  • IPhone 4, 6.0.1-contacts are disappearing: does anyone know why?

    Today, while checking 2 names on my contact list looking for a phone number that was not there, I sent an email & asked my friend for their phone number. They sent me a text message. When I went to add their phone number to the existing contact, it added their phone number to the existing contact. Then in the blink of an eye, it totally erased the contact and also their spouses contact, all at the same time.
    This is not the first time I have noticed missing contacts. It really made me made when it deleted my contacts right in front of my eyes.
    Can someone tell me if they are going to fix this problem???

    ...also, when I returned to my text message list, a number of other contacts were deleted at the same time because there were several phone numbers showing on several text messages instead of my contacts' names. I had to go back to each text message and then added each one as a new contact.

  • Email and contact information disappears

    My email (gmail.com) calendar and all contacts are disappearing nightly ... any suggestions??

    Hi sunchuan_joseph,
    Welcome to the support community!
    Could you provide a bit more information please so I can better assist you?
    Are you missing individual contact entries or entire contact lists? If they are contact lists, are you missing multiple contact lists or one only? If they are individual contacts, are they all from the same contact list?
    How were these contacts originally added to your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?
    Can you please provide more detail on the second issue with your Yahoo! email? Is this the same email account the missing contacts you previously mentioned were associated with?
    Is this same information also missing from your Yahoo! account when you access it from a computer?
    Did you try to re-add your Yahoo! email account? If so, can you tell me what happened when you tried?
    I look forward to your response.

  • I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone

    how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

    Re-enter them.
    Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

    Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

    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.

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.
