OMG HELP!! CONTACTS MISSING (after prompted "wireless update")

a few months ago i was promted to do a 'wireless update', and a new 'wireless update' icon appeared on my menu.  i ignored it until yesterday and decided it couldnt hurt to 'update' something...... WRONG.... after the 2 hour or so 'updating' looked like everything was pretty reset, all my icons in different locations, homescreen was default.  I also noticed that NONE of my address book contacts were there.  BBM contacts were, but no address book... ive searched the internet for solutions and have found none, nor have i even found any of this same issue....
If this 'update' deletes all contacts for some reason... shouldnt that be made pretty clear before allowing you to 'update'??? PoFS.... HELP PLEASE or i'll be short a 'smart' phone by the end of the week!! thanks!!

Hi, and thank you for the response.  I know now that i should have done a back-up... too little too late, as they say.... But i am sure now, after checking, that there are no filters set for the address book.  Under my 'recent calls' list, for the calls that were made prior to the update, it still shows the names of my contacts (with numbers), and will call them from that list.. but still no address book entries, and as i checked the "number of entries" in the options menu for the address book, it states there are "0".  and also still shows exceptions for the ring tones under those names..... "BRILLIANT" is all i can think of right now... so much for 'smart'phone....

  • Contacts missing after IOS 5 update

    I updated my Iphone 4 to the ios 5.  Everthing is there except my contacts.  I checks settings /iCloud and contacts is checked.  I think if I uncheck, my contacts will return?  not sure.  I am afraid to sync again, because I don't want to backup iphone with missing contacts overwriting my last backup etc.
    How can I get my contacts back and sync with the Cloud?
    Help..
    Thanks

    Ok. So after too much of a fight with the iPhone, here is what i think got back the contacts on my phone.
    Step 1: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch off everything.
    Step 2: Go back to main setting page.
    Step 3: Make sure you see "Inactive" under iCloud.
    Step 4: Hit the home button
    Step 5: Close iTunes and start it back up.
    Step 6: Unplug your iPhone from the computer and plug it back in.
    Step 4,5,6 is to make sure you are starting a new session.
    Step 7: Sync iTunes.
    Step 8: Check your contacts. They should have come back up
    Step 9: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch on everything.
    Choose the option "merge" when you get it.

  • My URL/Address bar is missing after the delicious update. My search engine bar is missing after the Delicious update. I cant figure out how to turn them back on. rhouwan@*****.***, thank you.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Settings screen missing after 10.1 update

    After 10.1 update my settings screen is missing.  When I try to open settings anywhere from device it trys to open and quits immediately.
    How can revert back to 10.0 now??
    Also my phone is heating up and battery is draining fast when screen is on.

    Solved!

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Now, try the settings screen again.

  • Sound effects missing after 2.0 update?

    Anyone else notice their sound effects (click, etc.) went missing after the 2.0 update? (and yes, "both" is checked under settings). Just wondered if this is universal or if something went haywire with mine...

    Sweet! The power of the collective on the web...
    Jeff - try this, worked great -
    unfortunately i lost all my info on my touch when doing this, but I can dedicate some time tonight to resetting my wallpaper, my mail settings, etc.
    i think the 'DFU' in these instructions means device firmware upgrade...found this on another forum where people complaining of same problem...
    1. Hold both the home and power buttons until the device turns off
    2. EXACTLY one second after the iPod turns off, release the sleep/wake button, holding the home button still ( the apple logo SHOULD NOT BE ON ).
    3. In about 20 seconds, you will see your iPod appear in iTunes, but the screen on your iPod will still be off. You are now in DFU mode.
    4. RELEASE the home button as soon as your iPod appears iTunes. If you fail to do so, your iPod will simply go back into recovery mode.
    yo Apple - please roll out some info on this 'known issue'; While $9.95 isn't a budget-breaker, if you have to figure out how to make that $9.95 work on your Apple device like it appears some of us are, it speaks to posting something in Support about it - thanks!

  • Linked Smart Objects missing after last CC update?

    I had an update come across CC for Photoshop & Dreamweaver yesterday. After applying the update I'm finding that linked smart objects are missing from my File>Place menu. Anyone else having this issue? I had them before & now they are gone. CC shows me as having no updates available. Just checked Photoshop & it's showing I'm back at 14.0.

    Sounds like the updater failed and you are running 14.0.0 again.
    Uninstall and reinstall.

  • All SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 update. Any way to recover please?

    All my SMS msgs & recent contacts lost after IOS 5 upgrade, Any way to recover please?

    Hello. I have the same problem - I upgraded to iOS 5 and in the process lost my contacts and ALL my SMS. I know that we can use backups to restore the information. But the problem is that my back ups are May 2011 and the day I did the upgrade, so nothing helpful there. I don't think the system did a backup before the upgrade. I did the upgrade on october 22. And for that date i have two back ups. I  restored the phone to the older backup and it restored my contacts but not my SMS. Is there ANY way I can get my SMS back????

    Hi,
    can you please provide more info about your configuration? It would be useful to have quick voice input keyboard version, harmattan version (pr.10, pr.1, pr1.2 - you can find it in Settings->Info), language and regional settings, other input methods installed and everything you think could make your phone different from others. Yours is the very first (and until now unique) bug report for the v0.1.7 and it would help a lot to have as many info as possible to fix your issue.
    Kind regards,

  • All of my tabs and history are missing after my computer updated and restarted. I had over 140 tabs open! HELP!!!!

    Last night my computer (Win 7 Dell laptop - Firefox) did an update. It restarted and when I turned it back on, the computer gave me a message that said "preparing your desktop" before I could log in. When I logged in, it was almost as if the computer was brand new - the desktop theme was new, it said my mouse was ready to use, and then it said that internet explorer 10 was updated. I clicked on Firefox as usual, expecting it to give me the screen where it asks me if I want it to restore all of my tabs, and it was the Mozilla home page and firefox was barebones in the sense that it didn't have any of my add-ons, or even the basic, file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help buttons on the screen. When I went into the history, it only had today listed, and no websites!!! I am freaking out and I really need to know how to get everything back to the way it was. I had a Personas add-on with 36 backgrounds that I adored, and I don't want to have to go back and re-download all of my add-ons, not to mention there is no way, I would be able to remember or pick up where I left off with all of those tabs I need for work. Please help me!

    That is a Windows temporary profile, not the fault of Firefox, but something (possibly a windows update, they rolled a bunch out today) corrupted your Windows profile. http://www.sysprobs.com/fix-temporary-profile-windows-7 can help you, this will also bring back your Firefox data.

  • MSVCR80.dll file missing (after latest iTunes update).  Unable to reinstall iTunes either.  Fixes?

    After installing the latest iTunes update, I am unable to open iTunes (The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer).  Plugging in my iDevices won't prompt iTunes to open, either (they are viewed only as mass storage devices).  I attempted to reinstall iTunes, but recieved an error message that said I had insufficient rights to install (I am an administrator).  Is anyone else having similar problems?  Is there a way to fix it that won't include uninstalling the current version of iTunes?  Don't want to lose all my files!  Thanks for a rapid response, Community.  I appreciate all the help I can get.
