My contacts suddenly disappeared from my iphone 6,i dont have a backup on icloud i think,but i have a backup on my computer ,so i made the backup i saw the contacts and then they disappeared again .i need help?

i cant restore my contacts from computer or icloud ?they disappear when i restore

HI
I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
Before I started I made sure that I had  a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
Thanks again  - Apple support.

  • I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

    Files open and disappear in few seconds!

    It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

    Have you recently deleted photos using the finder or run clean up software?  Is so restore your backup
    If not the backup your iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option and command keys. Rebuild your database

  • I see my emails come in and then they disappear from my ipad2.  Is there a solution for this?

    I see my emails come in and then they disappear from my ipad2.  Is there a solution for this?

    Do you leave the email client on your computer launched and running actively checking the account for new messages and downloading new messages while the iPad's Mail app is doing the same?
    If so stop, and see if there is any difference.
    More than likely there will be. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only and there are some limitations.
    No such problem or limitations with an IMAP account.

    Hello,
    Just to set your expectations...it's fine to "rant" about things here, but I do hope you are not expecting a formal reply from anyone at BlackBerry. For this site is not a channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. Rather, it is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out to the best of their abilities. Note this banner, please, posted at the top of nearly every page of the site:
    Consequently, words posted such as "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" are actually directed at the other kind volunteers of this site, who may not respond in the most kindly of fashions. Hopefully, we all can understand that your rant is directed at BlackBerry (though, by placing it here, it is misplaced), but I just wanted to gently caution you about such posts, as well as ensure that your expectation concerning replies is properly set. Also, for new members who join the site, it's always good to have responses to such posts, covering the intended use of the site so that those new members can better understand such things.
    On the other hand, if you do desire assistance from other users for your issues, you might consider wording your requests in a manner that would motivate a kind volunteer to provide such.
    Good luck!

  • TS3991 my icloud account backs up my contacts and then they disappear within seconds. help

    my icloud backs up my contacts and then seconds later they are deleted.  there was a second device on the icloud that is now separated and that is where the original deletion was performed.  using the backup from before this device  interfered allows the contacts to reappear for only a few seconds.  then they are gone again.  help

    If you are trying to restore contacts from your iCloud backup and they are being overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud, follow the steps in this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes and then reinstall it again

    I tried yesterday to install iTunes on a XP Services Pack 3 Pc, It said that it couldn't install it. So after much reading last night, i downloaded Revo Uninstaller Pro, and uninstalled all apple software, included Bonjour, Quicktime and Apple Support along with iTunes. I then, used Ccleaner to double check that nothing apple related was left in the registry.
    After doing all the above, i rebooted the PC, and downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes from the website, and installed it. I installed the first time of asking. I then pulged in my Son's new iPod, and it detected it as a scanner/Camera, and behind that was a message that said the following:" This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install iTunes again"
    I've tried doing this, and it keeps coming up with the same message
    Can anyone help please

    In Windows 7, go to Control Panel (usually in the Start menu) and look for Add and Remove Programs. It will load a long list of programs. Find iTunes on that list and uninstall it. Then try using the 64-bit installer.

  • HT4528 My Verizon iPhone 5 keeps showing the wrong time, I reset it and then it happens again later in the day.

    For the past few weeks, my Verizon iPhone 5 randomly changes the time to some odd time (like when it is 1:30pm, my phone will switch to 2:08am). I go into settings and date and time, I turn "set automatically" to off then on again. The time resets and all is well for a while and then it usually happens again later. I wonder if it has anything to do with verizon's network. I seem to notice it happen when I go into areas that have no 3g or LTE service and the phone has that "o" setting for the internet. Could it be a network error issue?

    If "Automatic" is on it probably has everything to do with Verizon. Try turning "automatic" off. If that fixes the problem it's Verizon. If it doesn't fix the problem it's likely a hardware problem in your phone.

  • Multiple OAM Files are not working on the layout, and  now they are cropping? Need Help fast...

    So an early thing since day one with muse has been when inserting HTML the preview is sometimes off, and even the container box is sometimes forced to be similar like a previously installed HTML bit. I figured this new site I am making at work could use some Adobe Edge Animate functions for rollovers and drop downs, and as I set this up I am getting errors the more OAM files I insert onto the page. The previews I was kind of already expecting to not work correctly, but no I am getting a situation where my OAM file will not display properly because of the containing box of the first Element I inserted. Here are some pictures explaining the issues...

    This is a huge part of our site, please hurry with a bug fix or please dear god give me some tips for this work around. I am searching everywhere and getting nothing

  • Delete row option doesn't work and then becomes greyed out. Need help troubleshooting.

    Hello!
    I'm hoping that someone can please help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with a table in my form. It has a menu associated with each row that allows you to add, delete, reset, etc. rows. The name of the table on the form is the Purchase Items table. It's the first table on the form.
    Here are the steps to recreate the issue:
    1. Create 3 rows in the table
    2. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
    3. Select "Delete this row". Nothing happens.
    4. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
    5. Select "Delete this row" again. Nothing happens.
    6. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row. You'll notice that the "Delete this row" option is greyed out.
    My best guess that the rows are being deleted in the background which would explain that if I have 3 rows, and "delete" 2, that my delete option is then greyed out because I believe there is logic in there such that if there is only 1 row then grey out the option to delete rows. I was planning to attach the file as I have seen others do but don't see the option. I'm happy to provide the file via email if that's easier. Thank you in advance!

    I've posted the solution here:
    http://www.fieldeffecttechnologies.com/AdobeForums/PCard.pdf
    The instance manager methods were being given the wrong index of the row to work with. They need to be passed the index for the row that the button you are pressing is in (of course). Instead they were given some v8b index, which I honestly cannot decipher as to what that number possibly means. (Math.round((v3-v4)*v6........)???
    Anyways, I fixed it up and also changed some of the logic in the sub menu to determine what's greyed out.
    I like that feature! Might even show it to a client!

  • HT5616 I keep losing my notes on my iPad. I have them for months and then they disappear what am I doing to not save them?

    I have used notes to save various items and I keep losing them.  I have had them for months when one day I check to retrieve one I've placed in notes and they are all gone! What am I doing to lose all of my "notes"?  Thanks

    If you're using the Notes, go into Settings>iCloud and make sure that you have Notes turned "On".
    Notes will then be copied to iCloud and appear on all iOS devices.
    This will ensure that your Notes are backed up.

  • After L&S and then CalcAll, values goes #Missing - Need help

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with my outline. I have a 'stored type' member (P) with consolidation as (+); and it further has 3 children (C1, C2, C3) - All three as stored type and NO UDA. Out of three children, two members (C1, C2) are getting values from some calculations after running some specific Calc scripts. But for third one (C3), I do L&S and confirm by retreiving it again.
    Now when all children have their values stored, I run CalcAll. This results as below:
    P = C1 + C2
    C1 = C1
    C2 = C2
    C3 = #Missing
    There's no refrence to C3 in any calc script, so I am confused it gets #Missing and it doesn't adds to P.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Loading at non lev0 members and aggregating with SET AGGMISSIG OFF may protect the data at non lev0 combinatioons that time.
    It will not protect the data permanantly as future calc operations has always a chance to overwrite that data.
    Follow the below prctices
    1) Load high at the non lev0 combination
    2) Run the push down calculation to allocate this data to lev0 combinations.
    3) Aggregate the data.
    Second approch is
    If you dont like to tie this data to the any available lev0 members for any reasons.Consider the below hierarchy
    ---PG
    -------PG1
    -------PG2
    -------PG3
    You want to load data at PG member level and dont like to tie for any of the members PG1, PG2 and PG3.
    Then add a place holder member PG_I as a sibling to PG3 and load the data to that PG_I.
    Then you can see the expected data at PG with out loading high and applying conditions.

  • My iPhone 5 went black. I tried pushing the on/off button and the circle button at the same time.  It worked once and then it happened again and I can't get it to work.

    Iphone 5 went black.  Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time.  Worked yesterday and then did it again today.  Can't get it to work.

    You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    They look different because the screens for POP3 and IMAP accounts are different. As I said in my first response, you didn't provide any information about the type of email that you were using in your original post.

    Not providing enough information with your questions generally results in a waste of time for both the questioner and the responder, since one can only guess the details of the situation.
