My Iphone contacts dis appearing

I have (1) ipad mini & (2)iphone 5, and i use (3) Google for e-mail & contact & calendar.
I have made a setup, so that when ever update or new entry on one of those, will update to the others,
And I installed Apps name REMOVE DUPLICATE CONTACT by zhong zhang. And i used this to clean my duplicate contact.
on Ipad mini. But i tried to use this aps on iphone last week. After this (what i think) i noticed my contacts are disappearing on iphone..
i was panic, and so i changed by password for Google. and i cut wifi and cellular connection with my ipad. (make my ipad offline), to prevent loosing contact from Ipad. so the contacts are there on ipad. And i back up the ipad with itunes on my PC. And i tried to connect my iphone to my itunes, (hopefully i will reset all setting but to save the photos on it). But the iTunes refuse to connect saying "iPhone cannot be connected due unexpected error"
Finally i did reset my i phone (reset setting only), and then i can see all my contacts. So somebody please tell me what happens. And please tell me how to avoid it from happening again. (I remembered it heppened again, when i connect to my ipheon with external power tube , made by third party), is it the cause?

modular747, thank you for taking the time to help me. I am sorry about the lack of information. I have an iPhone 4s 32 Gig., all of the setting on my phone are turned on. I was unaware of the OS X 10.6.2 issue with sycning. My iMac has been updated to OS X 10.8. Is there anything in the works to address the sycning issue in 10.6.2 that you know of? Again thank you for your time and imput.

How do I get an iPhone contact to appear in iCloud?

I have a contact that shows up on my iPhone, but not in my iCloud (viewed from a MacBook). How do I get the contact to appear in in both?
iPhone version 7.1.1
MacBook OS X version 10.9.4

However, some show up as "linked" contacts, some show up only on the phone, and some show up only on the Mac.
How, then, do I get a contact that shows up only on the phone to ALSO show up on the Mac? And vice versa?
On the iPhone...
Settings > iCloud - Contacts to Off.
If it asks to Delete to contacts, make sure you keep them.
Then Settings > iCloud - Contacts to On and if asked, select Merge contacts.
On your Mac...
System prefs > iCloud - Contacts to Off.
If it asks to delete contacts, make sure you keep them.
Then System prefs > iCloud - Contacts to On and if asked, select Merge Contacts.

Sync iphone contacts with ipad

I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
thanks,

You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced

How to get a contact photo appears like in iphone ad (small on top right corner) when dialing or receive a call?

Hello everybody, I just want to make any contact photo appears in right top corner as appears on iPhone Ads (small - Top right corner), I mean not Full screen. when I make or receive a call??

Hi,
It comes up with a Small Contact image as it is Linked to the Facebook or Twitter Account.
But if you edit the Contact and Upload the Image its not possible to get the Small Contact Image.
A Contact needs to be linked to an Account.
You can signin to Facebook and Update the Facebook Contact through:
SETTINGS > FACEBOOK > Turn ON Contacts > UPDATE CONTACTS.
Then,
Go To CONTACTS > GROUPS > Select FACEBOOK.
You Phone Contact will get Linked to the Phone Contacts with Small Contact Images.
Check It....
HOPE THIS RESOLVES YOUR ISSUE.

HT4910 Why are my contacts on my iPhone are not appearing on my Mac?

I am set up on iCloud on both, but I am not using MacMail. Is that why? My calendar is crossing over between devices. Help, please.

When you check your contacts on icloud.com from your Mac do see if your iPhone contacts appearing there?

Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail account? I do not want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

Struggling to Sync iPhone contacts to iCloud? Here's a possible solution!

I was struggling all day trying to figure out why my contacts were appearing on my iPhone 5, but not on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 Edition. To make a long story short, I was able to add contacts to my Contact app on my Macbook and have them sync immediately to my iPhone, but was not able to do it vice-versa.
Here was the cause:
I opened up my Contacts app on my iPhone 5
I hit 'Groups' at the top left side of the app.
I was given three options; Show All Contacts, All Outlook, and All iCloud.
I had All Outlook and All iCloud checked.
I created a fake person on my Mac Contact's app and it showed up immediately under my phone.
After thinking on it for some time, I came back and unchecked All Outlook.
By doing this, only my one fake contact appeared.
This was then a red flag to me that I had stored all of my contacts as Outlook contacts, not as iCloud contacts. If you're having a similar problem, it could be that you are storing your contacts under your email, not as iCloud, which is a huge problem for Mac users who want to integrate everything together. I like to go to my Messages app on the Mac and have a name to go with each conversation, and when my phone is charging pick up the conversation on the Mac. First, go into your iPhone settings and assuming you're running iOS 7, others may differ, hit 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', scroll down to the sub category 'Contacts' and make sure your Default account is set to iCloud. Mine was set to Outlook which is why all of my contacts were stored in Outlook.
I found a very easy, quick fix to migrate the contacts from my Outlook to my iCloud! This solution works as a Verizon user.
Download the Backup Assistant app from the App Store on your iPhone.
Run the Backup Assistant.
Log into your Verizon account and hit "Manage Contacts"
You will then be brought to a page with contacts from your phone.
From here, Select All Contacts and hit the 'Gear' icon.
Click "Export Contacts"
This will create a file for you to refer to in the future so remember where you save it and make multiple copies.
Head over to your iPhone and download MultiDelete contact app. This app is used to delete multiple contacts instead of going one by one.
Once you have finished deleting your contacts from everything, including iCloud and your email program (mine was Outlook), you will have a clean and empty contacts book on your iPhone.
Go to your Mac now and open up Contacts.
Find the MyContacts.csv file and within Contacts, hit 'File' - 'Import' and browse to where MyContacts.csv is.
This will then add all of your contacts back into your phone, but as iCloud contacts, not as Outlook contacts or association with any other email address
Open up MultiDelete one more time and search for duplicates. Once you have found that there are no duplicates, you are all set.
Some people just like to turn off Contacts under their Mail, Contacts, etc... folder on their iPhone but that's not deleting them. This deletes them from the email program on the phone and makes them into iCloud contacts. Now, if you navigate to iCloud.com and log in, hit Contacts, all of your contacts are available. This is especially nice to have because if you ever use Messages on your Mac, you can text message right off your Mac!
This solution is only used for people running newer versions of both iOS and OSX. I am running iOS 7.1 currently and running the latest, most up-to-date version of Mavericks at the time this article is being written.
I figured after all of the trouble I went through today, I would share hoping that maybe somebody in a similar situation can get the fix they desire. Always enter your contacts app on your phone and uncheck your email version to test and see if they are iCloud contacts. As an Apple user with mutliple devices, this is especially helpful. You want all of your Apple devices integrated together from iPod touch to iPad, to Mac, to iPhone, as long as everything is in iCloud, you can sync them across multiple devices effortlessly.
Also, if this solution doesn't help, I'd start by troubleshooting and checking the following:
Making sure your iCloud is set up on each device and that you have turned on exactly what you desire to share between devices (whether it's contacts to calendar events)
If that's all set up, definitely look into my solution above.
If you're still having trouble, contact Apple Live Chat or give them a call. They were stumped by this issue I had, however after brainstorming a bit I figured it out myself.
I hope this helps a few people!

Hi,
You could also try resetting your airport express.

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

Contacts not appearing in imessage banner

I just moved to Australia from the US and got an Australian sim card. When I text my friends in the US, their contact information shows up within the message portal but when they respond, the banner and notification in the lock screen display their phone number as if I did not have their number in my contacts. I have typed their number with +1 and then the nine digit number. When Australians text me, the contact information appears correctly in the banner. Restarting the phone did not help. I have an iPhone 4s and my software is up to date (7.1.2). How do I fix this?

Did you purposly add the +1? If you are using the dial assist, I don't think you need to do that. This could be why it is not identifying correctly as being part of your contacts. How they have their number identified on their device could be changing it. Try changing the contact to only show the area code and number and have someone text you. Tell them you want to test something on the phone and to text you back in a few minutes. Delete the conversation you had with them, and then change their contact information. See what happens then. You might have to do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This may be necessary after you change their contact info.

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

My iPhone contacts won't sync to exchange

Hi guys,
I am trying to sync my iPhone contacts to Google contacts through exchange so that I can unify my contacts.
I followed these directions:
http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
But I don't see my contacts in Google contacts.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had a situation where some contacts on my iPhone either did not appear on my Mac or had only some of the information. I discovered that these contacts were linked on the iPhone to accounts other than iCloud - in my case the Exchange contacts at work. Once the missing information was copied to the iCloud linked contact, the details appeared on my Mac. To have a look, open the contact on your iPhone and scroll to the very bottom. There you will see all the Linked Contacts. Make sure one of these is iCloud and that it contains all the information you want to show on your Mac.
