No contacts on laptop or iphone

I just noticied all my contacts are gone, what can i do?

Based on your question, I assume you don't maintain a backup of your Address Book data on your Mac, not for any other important information/data on your Mac?
Do you use the Address Book application on your Mac for storing your contact information, and for syncing with your iPhone?

  • Sync contacts on laptop and iPhone

    How do I sync my contacts with laptop and iPhone over iCloud? Updated contacts 24 hours ago on laptop, iPhone contacts didn't change. What do I do?

    It's either the connection from the laptop to icloud or from icloud to iphone that's the problem.  To find the answer, do the following...
    Using a computer's browser log into icloud.com and then look at the contacts page.  If the edits show up there, then the problem is from icloud to iphone.  If edits are not there, then the problem is from laptop to icloud.
    Whichever device the problem points to, verify that it is logged into the right icloud account and that Contacts is turned on.  (System preferences>icloud on mac or Settings>icloud on ios device.

  • Syncing Contacts from laptop to iPhone 3GS

    I've noticed that for a while now, new contacts entered on the macbook are not synced to my iphone during sync! So I don't have all my needed info with me when I'm away from the computer - grrrr...!
    I've tried several things, to no avail:
    using an older backup
    resetting iSync
    setting up a one-time sync where Address book on the laptop is supposed to replace what's on the phone.
    Anyone else solve this problem?

    Follow the directions here:

  • IPhone 4 no longer syncing Address Book contacts w/laptop

    For some reason, my iPhone 4 is no longer updating my contact list when I add new names/info to Address Book on my MacBook Pro. I've checked the settings on my phone as well as in iTunes, and it should be syncing (and always has done so before), but it's not. I even tried replacing all my iPhone contacts with the list on my laptop via the iTunes "Advanced" menu option, but this didn't help...
    I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, but I did have trouble when I tried to install the 10.7.3 update to Lion and had to reinstall OSX. (Also, my laptop is relatively new--bought it about a month ago.)
    Any suggestions?

    This has also happened to me, though it was after synching to my 3G iPhone as opposed to MobileMe (which I don't have).
    What's more, in iTunes Prefs I've selected "place new contacts created on this iPhone in the group 'new from iPhone'", and I just saw that of the 968 contacts in my Address Book, a good...613 are under the 'new from iPhone' group which is absolutely false!
    I most decidedly did not create all those 613 contacts on my iPhone, in fact just about all 613 of them had been previously synched from my Mac to my iPhone.
    Clearly there's some sort of bug here - whether MobileMe or iPhone via iTunes, since both involve iSync from what I had read elsewhere at these forums.
    I'm going to submit this to the Apple iPhone feedback page here, and would suggest your submitting your feedback to Apple MobileMe here.

  • How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?

    How can I sync my contact list from laptop to iphone?  My contact list is in Microsoft Outlook.  I want to go from laptop to iphone and not vice versa.

    I use iCloud to sync calendar and contacts using Outlook 2010 on my Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, Outlook 2010 on a Win 7 desktop, an iPhone 5S, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 4. For example if I make a change/add/delete a contact on my iPhone 5S the change is reflected over on the other devices basically instantaneously...

    You need to setup iCloud on an iOS device first...

  • Windows 7 Laptop and Iphone 4S:

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 with current version of ITunes 11.0.2.26 and have the IPhone 4S with the current iOS 6.1.3  Itunes is seeing my IPhone, but the laptop is not seeing it properly.  Once the IPhone is connected it will charge and connect to ITunes, but Windows doesn't show the device as having the proper driver.  In "Hardware" setting of the laptop, the IPhone doesn't show up so I can not make the IPhone to show up in My Computer as a hard drive device.  My reason to get this to work is to remove the videos from my phone.  I have tried to use ICloud to transfer to other devices and download, but it won't accept videos just my computers.  I need assistance to get the IPhone to show up as a hard drive, but as previously mentioned the problem lays with the laptop not having the proper driver.  I have done the following corrective measures:
    Uninstall and reinstalled ITunes
    I have held the powere and home button on the IPhone while being connected to the laptop.
    I have looked into registry correction, but the incorrect text is not in the registry. 
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to lose these videos because non compatibility issues. If this is going to be on going occurrence I will have to give up using Apple products. Thank you.

    how did you uninstall iTunes ? Did you remove ALL components according to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923   ? If not: I highly recommend you give that one a try.
    Seems like iTunes is working but the issue is at the windows explorer. It might be useful to contact microsoft...
    Good luck !
    PS: iPhone isn't designed to be able to browse as a hard drive. Check out http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 to import videos

  • Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes

    Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes. Can I get old (full) contacts back?
    Bakstory: Laptop crashed, got restored, but without contacts. Mistakenly thought I could upload them from my iPod. I hit sync. Big mistake. When I disconnected, I saw my iPod has the measley 4 contacts I DID have on my laptop after the crash, instead of the hundreds I had on the iPod just minutes before.
    Note: There is nothing in the desktop Trashcan that says "contacts."
    I also tried to post this question in the iTunes section, but for some reason I can't seem to post there.
    Thanks for any help!
    (Man, everyone agrees this is a design flaw--in how you share info from iPod to CPU and can easily overwrite things you don't want to. They should fix that.)

    Yes, you can do that.
    On the computer that you only want to sync contacts & calendars to just unselect content like music, photos, apps, etc.
    You can only sync content like music with one computer at a time, content like contacts with as many as you like.
    Before you sync your contacts & calendar with the laptop, make sure you have one entry in address book & ical, select merge at the prompt, do not select replace.
    Make sure you disable auto sync when a ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • Itunes password won't work on laptop or Iphone

    I have used the same Apple Id and password since December last year with no problem.
    A few weeks ago I tried to login into the Itunes store on my windows laptop and was told my ID or password were wrong. I reset the password but same problem. Since then I have reset the password multiple times but every time I try to login into the Itunes store on my laptop or Iphone I am told the password is incorrect. However I can log into Icloud email account and AppleId using the password as well as this support forum.
    have tried resetting the cache and warnings in Itunes. I also logged out of the store on my iphone and deleted my icloud account and re-added it, and signed out of Itunes on my phone (now I can't sign back in). I have done a hard reset on my iphone and logged in and out of my laptop. no success with any of these things.   I

    One of two laptops seemed to get resolved, or so I am told. He had taken the phone and the laptop to the Apple store. in the end, they gave him a new phone. Seemed to work on and off there, but not really.
    was talking to another user that had a 5s on an older IOS. asked him to see if the laptop could connect. it did. when dealing with his phone before sending him to the other person, I noted that the name of the iphone had an " ' s" at the end of the name. I told him to remove the " 's " and space. I found when trying to attach a Surface to my iphone once, I couldn't make it work. when I realized the special character existed,  I removed it and all the sudden the Surface could attach to the iphone. Relayed that to the individual I was supporting. He relayed that to the person having the issue with the Toshiba. HIs phone had the 's at then end of the name. They removed it and now his laptop is in fact working.  So, that might be a fix for some. However it didn't fix the other laptop. I am getting another one of these laptops soon in the office. I can then finally look at it first hand.
