My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.  
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!  
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.  
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

  • Background disappears after adding a cross dissolve to a keyed clip.

    I have a clip that has a Keying filter (as well as being cropped and scaled down) on it over a white background. After adding a Cross Dissolve to the keyed clip, the white background disappears for the duration of the Cross Dissolve, leaving a black background behind the keyed clip. This black background is present both in preview and after rendering.
    Any advice?

    not positive this will help, but try this:
    remove the transition
    right-click and sselect "make compound clip" (or Option G)
    within the compound clip, drop a white solid under the keyed clip; do not place any transitions at either end of the compound clip.
    return to your storyline / sequence
    place your transition again and see if it's fixed
    if you still do not have a clean dissolve, remove the transition and then click once on the compound clip and go to around 8 or 12 frames before the end and in the inspector, go to the opacity and add a keyframe and then arrow right to the frame before the last frame and add another keyframe and drag the opacity value to zero.

  • Why did all my iPad content disappear after restart

    Had downloaded a rental movie from iTunes but when I tried to watch I received an error message saying "...not supported content". After a few more unsuccessful attempts I turned off my iPad (holding home and off button until slide appears). Waited one minute, turned it back on and found that all my video, pictures, iBooks, etc were missing. Also, while all of my apps icons appear on the screen, none of them work (of you touch, the app starts for a fraction of a second then back to iPad home screen). What DOES still work is: mail, calendar, contacts, settings and safari. I can connect to a WiFi network no problem. Does anyone have an answer or solution and has this happened to anyone else?

    The whole experience seems sort of bizarre in that if you downloaded a movie from ITunes why would you get a message stating the content is not supported on the iPad? It doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry the reset doesn't work for you in this case.
    I trust you have a recent backup from which you can restore. Unless someone else post with a solution, I imagine that restoring from a backup is the next viable option for you.

  • Ipad icon disappears after intial detection on itunes

    When I plug in my iPad2 to my iMac, it is intially detected and you can see the ipad icon on the right side of the window.  It freezes then disappears.  I am unable to sync.  This just started happening today.  I have checked and have all the latest versions of the iOS on my iPad and Iphone5 and the latest version of iTunes on the iMac.  iPhone 5 is syncing fine.  When I plug in both, iTunes recognises 2 devices but then, only iPhone icon remains.  I have rebooted both my iMac and my iPad and switched off Homesharing and then switched it on again.  I'm still having the same problem.  Would appreciate any help.

    You don't specifically say if you are using Windows or Mac so here are links for both.

  • Shared printers disappearing after Adding

    Every time I try and print to a shared printer on a wireless network, it only works once. The next time I start the application the added printer is gone.

    I'm having a similar problem. When I'm at the office I print to 2 shared printers that are attached to other Macs on our network. At the end of the day I take my MacBook Pro home with me. When I come back to the office in the morning and plug into the network, all my printers are no longer listed in my print dialogue windows. I have to "Add Printer" to get them to show up, then they work just fine all day. But then the same thing happens the next day, and the next day, etc. The printers that have been directly plugged into my MacBook Pro are always listed and they never disappear. Solution anyone?

  • Memory Disappearing after adding Raid Controller

    I have a Lenovo D20 with 2x x5650 CPUs. I have 9 sticks of 2gb 1333 ECC UDIMM.
    The problem  I am running into is that after I installed a hardware Raid card, the system only picks up 12gb of memory instead of the installed 18gb, and if i take the card out it'll go back to 18gb.
    I've updated to the latest BIOS and still doesn't make a difference. Does anyone have any idea why?

    Which specific slots do you think are not workign correctly (ID the slots per the silkscreen on the motherboard)?  Watching the system count memory won't tell you this, only swapping DIMMs in and out will.
    Can you provide the vendor part number for the DIMMs you are using?
    What happens when you put memory only into the DIMM slot(s) you suspect aren't working and try to boot the system?  Does it boot or does it give you a beep code sequence?
    I can't think of any reason why installing a PCIe device would affect the amount of memory being detected within BIOS.  Cards can, however, greatly affect the amount of memory that shows available within the OS.
    Often, when there's a mismatch between the amount of physically installed memory and the amount of memory being detected in BIOS (in the BIOS setup menus), it's because of DIMM(s) that are not seated correctly.  Obviously the latches should be closed, but sometimes even when closed I've seen a DIMM not report correctly.  When installing/reseating, try pushing on the center of the DIMM evenly instead of out near the corners.  

  • PPro CS4 All Audio Disappeared after Adding WAV File

    I cannot hear audio in a video I am editing in Premiere Pro CS4 (Win 7 pc). Problem began after I tried to record my voiceover (wav file) using PPro CS4. I saved videos from a digital camera, converted to QuickTime format, imported and was able to listen to both the audio that was originally part of the video and three voiceover files that I previously recorded using different software (I don't remember what). Now I cannot hear audio of any files, wav, wma, etc, using PPro CS4, Windows Media Player, or other software. Any suggestions of what I should do to restore audio to my system?

    Bill:
    Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, this is a self-inflicted wound. It turns out I caused the problem by plugging my microphone into the headphone jack. After checking to confirm that my sound card driver is up to date, I glanced at the jack, placed the mike in the proper input port, and voila, I've got sound. I'm back editing my video in CS4. Based on this escapade, I'm sure I will need your advice again soon.

  • 90% of pictures disappeared after new program. Time machine folders mostly empty. Downloaded my Carbonite file. Can I restore directly from this file or do I have to drag and drop 20,000 pix?

    90% of pictures disappeared after adding Maverick. My Time Machine folders were in the right order but mostly empty so useless for restore. Repair and rebuild attempts were not effective. Downloaded my Carbonite file which is now sitting on my desktop. Is there any way to use the restore command to rebuild my portfolio or do I have to drag & drop approx 20,000 pictures? Can album groupings and faces be retained?

    Do you still have the original library that was present at the time you upgraded to Mavericks?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IChat contact disappears a few seconds after adding

    iChat contact disappears a few seconds after adding. For some reason it only happens with this one person.

    Hi,
    First of all go to the iChat Menu bar > View Menu and make sure you are showing Off Line Buddies ?
    Do they appear as Off Line ?
    Next go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security tab and make sure they are not in the Block List (Or are In the Allow Specific People if you are using it) Preferably test with Allow All.
    Make sure you are not trying to add them to the Recent Buddies Group as this is not really on you computer.
    Lastly get them to email the Screen Name to you.
    This will allow you to check the Spelling.
    NOTE: if missplelt or blocked in some way they should appear in the Off Line Buddies.
    One other option is that you are adding then as a @Mac.com name when they are in fact an AIM name (or any name variant of this)
    For Instance

    and [email protected] are in fact three different Screen Names (or possibly people)

  • Contacts will disappear after bulk vCard import

    Hi all,
    After bulk importing multiple 700 vCard contacts to the Address Book application (Version 8.0 - 1371) on Mac OX Mavericks, they disappear after closing and reopening the application, just showing the original 7 iCloud contacts I previously created.
    Facts:
    I am trying to import (by drag & drop) 700 vCards 2.1 - windows latin 1 (already selected this format in the Address Book Settings), created with Outlook 2002.
    Address Book is connected to iCloud
    Already tried, unsuccessfully:
    Merging previously all vCard into a single one.
    Doing the import after disconnecting iCloud, merging the contacts, reactivating iCloud.
    Doing the import after disconnecting WiFi and LAN, merging the contacts (even without reactivating them afterwards).
    Creating a new contact after the import before closing the application.
    The previous 3 combined.
    Importing the merged vCard directly on iCloud (getting Error though the file doesn't exceed the limitations)
    In any case is that after closing the application the imported contact not be there any more: only the 7 iCloud contacts (or the "on this mac" if iCloud deactivated) will remain in the Agenda. I do not think it has to do with iCloud.
    I the only clue I have, is that importing the vCards one by one, or in small groups (>10), they "may" remain recorded in the Address Book.
    Does anyone have an idea or workaround to make this bulk import of vCard contacts?
    Thanks,

    So I had to do it manually... in blocks of 5-15 to see the conflicting vCards, that would not be recorded (and hence not automatically synchronized with iCloud).
    Out of the 712 contacts, 8 were not recognized by the Adressbook.
    No idea why, because the other 704 vCards were in the same format (v2.1) and codification (Windows latin 1), and where having also special characters in the .vcf filename or in the data inside.
    I think there is a codification/import issue that Apple should check.
