N9 Contacts erased, disappear after microsoft exch...

I have an N9. I used to have a large number of contacts. I used to have two accounts configured, one was nokia account, another one was a corporate MS Exchange. All of the contacts in my contact list were completely unrelated to corporatge account. they were configured to be
automatically synched with Nokia contacts backup service, whatever it was. These contacts existed on my N8, and used nokia account to back them up there and get them installed on N9. Now after I deleted My Corporate MS Exchage account yesterday all my phone contacts  disappeared too. Running sync contacts does not get me anything. Can someone tell how I can get my contacts back?

Did you ever solve your problem? I'm having the same one. I re-enabled the Exchange account to get them back, but the account will be closed soon when I leave my job, and I need to make sure I keep the contacts. Please help if you can. :-)

  • 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.

    Hi! I just made a firmware update to my Nokia 6630. Before that I made a backup of my contacts using the backup function in Nokia PC Suite 6.81.13.0, and on my RS-MMC memory card. After the succesfull update, and restoruing my backup, all my groups have dissapeared, so the ring tones setting of each contact are gone. Is there a way to save the grops ore have I done something wrong? Thanks in advance.

  • Phone numbers in contact list disappeared after last SW-Update

    Hi,
    everything worked fine until this week. My contacts were synchronized with outlook exchange. I got all contact phone & email details.
    Now, I see only email addresses of my contacts. Forcing manual synchronization don't help. It seems that the synchronization works fine but there are still no phone numbers available. A mobile phone without stored phone number is a nightmare!
    Can somebody help me?

    Have you enabled filters - Open contact then tap the 3 dots then Filter and check the settings

  • Contacts STILL disappearing after complete clean install of everything

    OK, keep a long story short: Old Snow Leopard server + Lion or newer clients resulted in users with network home folders having their contacts deleted over and over and over. There have been a few thread concerning this, and I've gone through hours and hours of troubleshooting from those threads, but nothing resulted in a solution that worked for more than a few hours.
    Now, this year, our school has a completely fresh Mavericks server install on all new hardware. This server is setup to run ONLY File Sharing and Open Directory for networked home folders. We just point each client machine at the Server's IP address on the LAN and bind it to the server as usual. That's all we need and all we want. No other service is running on the server, and never has been. Clients are running Mountain Lion for the most part. Users are completely setup from scratch this year, only Documents, Desktop items etc. have been moved. Nothing from Library folder, just basic files. Local accounts on the bound computers work fine, it's only the accounts (network home folders) which reside on the Server that fail in this way.
    So this is about the most basic networking setup imaginable, and yet *bam* many, many hours into setting up the users and what happens but the freaking contacts start getting deleted again. How can this be happening? What could possibly be wrong? The users are NOT setup to sync contacts to ANY service, period. It's just each user and their own contacts for now. The Contacts app should just be saving contacts to the users's own home folder, leaving them there, and then opening them again. But it isn't; it's deleting them, over and over and over. We wanted to keep it as simple as possible due to the nightmare regarding the Address Book server we used to run on the old Xserve. We have done absolutely nothing strange in our installation; just installed the server and turned on the only two services we need.
    This has just GOT to be some simple little setting somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated. (BTW, I did go into Directory Utility on a couple client machines and noticed that in the search path for Contacts it was pointed to default to a Local directory, and then to look for an LDAPv3 directory service. Removing the reference to the LDAPv3 server and restarting the client machine did nothing; the problem occurs just the same either way.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

  • 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 !

  • Contacts list cleared after recharging

    All my contact info disappeared after recharging the iPhone. Everything is gone and now I have 0 contacts. I have no idea what happened. Does anyone know? Has anyone else experienced this?

    It has happened to me several times this week -- but it has nothing to do with recharging. I'll be using the iPhone normally, including a phone call, then go into Contacts and they're all gone. Once, I got a "No SIM card" message and so I removed the SIM card and reinserted it; the Contacts came back. But I got the SIM card replaced a few days ago yet I lost the Contacts again last night (with no SIM card error message) but they came back a minute later. I spoke to Apple support who suggested that it had something to do with losing the cell signal (because I sync my Contacts via MobileMe) but last night when I lost the Contacts I did not lose the signal. So I don't know what's really causing it.

  • IPhone contacts disappeared after update to 4.1.

    Updated my iPhone 3G to 4.1 a few days ago and now all my contacts have disappeared. I let iTunes backup my phone before the update and I can see the backup in Preferences but how do I use the backup? I'd be very grateful for some help - I recently lost all my mobile me mail and it can't be restored, so I am feeling a bit fed up. Thank you anyone.

    Regardless if you don't have a MobileMe account, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Contacts are also included with your iPhone's backup.
    If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since installing 4.1, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync your iPhone with iTunes before doing so and when prompted to update your iPhone's backup with iTunes after selecting Restore, decline this prompt or your iPhone's backup will be overwritten.

  • After Mavericks update, Contacts visually disappeared from UI.

    Contacts have visually disappeared from the Contacts UI application on the Mac -  "All Contacts"
    Also under "My Mac"  none of the groups names have contacts either, however all is not lost.
    The data is there.
    Both "look for dupulicate" as well as searching using the dashboard widget, reveals the data is there;  the former by number, the later by card.
    How to get the contact data to reappear in the standard Contact UI again?
    Thank you.

    Thanks Eric. I was syncing with iCloud, just not my contacts (for reasons re: Mavericks and Apples forced position). However, I did follow your directions but no joy and did go ahead and toggle on Contacts to sync after I logged out and then back in.    The only difference I noticed was the Contacts preferences default account selection put the iCloud selection at the left, thus did reorder the left side of the Contacts UI based on my selection.  In the end, no contact data appeared in the contacts app UI so still no joy.

  • Where did the "plus" button go to add contacts.  It disappeared after I updated my phone.

    Where did the "plus"button go on my iphone to add contacts? It disappeared after I updated my phone.

    The iTunes app cannot disappear ... it may be on a different screen.
    Regardless, you can force it to your home screen by doing:

  • My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    Backups do not cause contacts to disappear.
    Why do you believe this has occurred?
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud/Exchange. 

  • Contacts disappear after updating to IOS 7

    Hello,
    iam using iphone 4s and after i updated to ios 7 all the contacts has disappear, even if i restore them from the back up or wrote them again the same thing happen always after i period of time.
    i had read some topics about the same problem that happened after updating to IOS 5 and 6 but all the solutions didn't worked with my iphone, please i need your help !

    I am having same problem and if you loose 450 contacts its maddening enough to consider changing to another platform.
    In my case iPhone 4S - problems started after iOS7 update - on the computer all contacts appear under header iCloud (there is no longer an option of "On my Mac" that I seem to remember from earlier times).
    My phone cannot access the numbers, do not seem to maintain them on the phone solidly...
    Any suggestions?

  • I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
    But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
    After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

  • After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my Contact icon disappears , how can I find it ?

    After updating my I-phone 4s to iOS 7 my contact icon disappears, how can I find it ?

    You need to try a reset on the phone. Contacts is a native iOS application and cannot be deleted. Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you cannot find it after that, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
