Nearly all contact information is gone from my iPhone

The other day, I was walking down the street and I had a call come in. As I look at my voice mails, the names all reverted to their respective phone number right before my eyes. I thought that was strange, so I looked in my contacts and I realized that, although their names are still there, all other information (phone numbers, email addresses, street addresses, etc.) are all gone. The only thing that remained are what notes I may have had about them in the "notes" section. This is so strange! All of this info is still present in my address book on my MacBook Pro, and it's out in MobileMe as well. I've tried to re-synch it back in, to no avail. Has anyone heard of this happening? Any thoughts on how to make it right? Thanks!

If you are syncing contact info over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, and all contact info is available/complete with your MobileMe online address book, turn Contact info off for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. This will erase all contact info on your iPhone. Follow this by turning Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone.

My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone. How do I recover my contacts?

First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...). If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes. After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

my contacts have gone from my iphone 4s

Facetime is not an App for the iPhone. It is accessed through Contacts. The only app is for the iPod Touch. Facetime is always on the phone, just go to the contact you want to have a Facetime call with, as long as you have activated it, and then touch the Facetime button on the contact.
Unless of course, you are from one of the countries who's government banned the use of Facetime.

Updated my iphone 3gs last night and all contact info is gone. Messages, notes and all other sections are intact----just no contact info.

You can resync your contact via Itunes, just go to the contact tabs and check to sync.

Hello jo90733,
I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11371
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
To start the installation, click Install.
Cheers,
Allen

I downloaded pics to my pc and after all my music was gone on my iPhone. I have tried repeatedly to sync with my iTunes but it does nothing. The last time said it didn't have a disc to sync to my iPhone. Ver confused as to why it's doing this. Any thought

I downloaded pics to my pc and after all my music was gone from my phone . I have repeatedly tried to sync to my iTunes but it tells me it cannot be synced to my iPhone. What's going on? Any suggestions?

Yeah everything is gone for good. The apps won't be a problem. You can just redownload them. For the music find a program that copies the music from the iphone to the computer. Then add the files to itunes ans sync.

how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

Yes. You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.

restore from your backup

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!

go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck

How can i copy my contacts in my pc from my iphone 5 and 4s

how can i copy my contacts in my pc from my iphone 5 and 4s

You don't need to worry about the folders.
Your backup from iphone 5 will be completely seprate and your iphone 3gs backup would be safe as well.
Yes you can sync both phones in itunes and even connect them at the same time to sync.
Hope this solves your query

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4( version) 6.1.3 after i restored my device, while these PDFs still exist in my itunes books list. I can't as well add new PDFs/documents to my ibooks app.Please help.

A backup includes most items in iBooks, but I believe it does not include PDF files. Are you saying that in the App tab (in itunes), for iBooks, the PDF files still show up? Or do you mean something else by "itunes books list"?
