Phone Contacts Disappeared after 2.1 update-- What happened???
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong in syncing for the latest update?
Same happened to me - I'm syncing my iPhone with a MS Exchange account via UMTS. I just upgraded to iPhone 2.1, and every single contact and every single calendar entry had disappeared from my iPhone. Is that intended behaviour of this system? And, moreover, doing a restore afterwards from within iTunes didn't change anything. Pure emptiness.
Does anyone have a clue? Also, does anyone know, if backup has a history? If yes, where is it stored?

Yahoo contacts disappeared after 5.1 update
I have a weird issue that I am trying to figure out. I updated wirelessly yesterday from 5.01 to 5.1. Initially, everything was good. Today, however, I found that my Yahoo Contacts are all gone. My Exchange contacts are still present though. Also note, that I sync my Yahoo contacts, mail, calendar, etc...wirelessly (not through iTunes). Aside from my Yahoo Contacts not being present everything else seems normal. I ran through some of the basics to see if I could fix the issue but still have not been able to make progress. I did the following:
Deleted My Yahoo Contacts (carddav.address.yahoo.com) and readded.
Toggled off/on/off Contacts under the regular Yahoo app (mail, calendar, notes, etc...)
Deleted my Exchange account and readded.
Rebooted multiple times.
I guess the last resort would be to delete my Yahoo account and then re-add it. I don't think this would do it though because I already had my Yahoo Contacts syncing via my Yahoo carddav account.
Any help would be appreciated.I and others have the same problem, see https://discussions.apple.com/message/17818516#17818516.
I have e-mailed Yahoo technical support including the links to these discussions. -

can not restore i phone 3 G after i tune update, can not restore i phone 3 G after i tune update
Search Google for "iphone 3g ipsw" (does not matter which one in your case, just need to restore your phone, then can do whatever). Open iTunes with your phone connected. Shift click on "Restore" (Apple click for Mac) and choose the IPSW file you downloaded. That is called a manual restore. Should help you out.

I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?
Is the app checked in the Apps tab of iTunes? That's how you tell iTunes whether you want the app on your phone or not.
Otherwise, check the very last screen on the phone. -
When I sync my phone I get my husband's phone contact list, apps, etc and the same happens when he syncs his phone. It does recognize our phones as different users so how can I stop this from happening when we sync?
Did you tick the box in iTunes to sync with the Mac address book? Are you using the same user account on your Mac, with the same contacts in the same address book?

Downloading phone book problem after "Jelly Bean" update
I own a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT with Bluetooth (labeled as Link System) and a Motorola Droid RAZR. The vehicle has always recognized the phone as paired. Prior to "Jelly Bean", I had no problems downloading the entire phone book to the Bluetooth device in the vehicle. However, I had noticed on a recent trip that several new contacts were not recognized by the Link system. I realized that I needed to update the phonebook. I first deleted the old phone book from the vehicle, but I was then unable to download the new phone book to the vehicle. I tried several times but with no success. An additional Bluetooth symbol would appear to the left at the top of the phone display with the message "PBap connection request". The message would disappear after a second. But several seconds later, the upper left-hand Bluetooth symbol would also disappear, and the vehicle Bluetooth device would then inform me that the phone book download had failed. I contacted Verizon tech support last week, and the rep and I concluded that the Jelly Bean update was the problem, but she was unable to fix it. I also noticed elsewhere on the Verizon web site that several other people with different vehicles were also unable to download the phonebook from their Android phone to their vehicle's Bluetooth device.
I then realized that perhaps the Jelly Bean update had changed only how the Bluetooth on the phone interacted with the Bluetooth/Link system on the vehicle. I concluded that I needed to delete not just the old phone book from the vehicle's Bluetooth device, but also the pairing/recognition of the phone itself from the vehicle's Bluetooth device. I then reinstalled pairing/recognition of the Droid RAZR on the vehicle's Bluetooth device, and successfully downloaded the phone book from the RAZR to the Bluetooth device on the vehicle. This action should fix the problem on other vehicles as well.Jandariea, I understand how frustrating this could be. You would think a software update would be fully baked and basic functions like Wifi would work. However, this is not the case with all Jelly Bean software updates. You sound more like the exception then the rule! Have you tried to disable/enable airplane mode? Does this issue only happen with your home wifi, or can you connect to a public Wifi (i.e. library or Starbucks)? Have you tried to do a master reset on the phone http://bit.ly/T1Ib1B ?^SP

Pictures in Scrolling Applet disappeared after Java 10 update.
My home page on my website; [http://mrpitbull.com] has a scrolling applet
that contains several pictures. After a Java update (10) a few months back, the
pictures disappeared. Any computer that has not had the update, the pictures
still appear. I rolled back the update on my system to 9 and got the pictures
back. I figured that whatever problem I was experiencing, others would too,
and a fix would be forthcoming. After a number of months, it is time to
seek some help. Hopefully, someone is familiar with the issue and has a
solution. Thanks! [http://mrpitbull.com/]Gimbal2,
What would you call the scrolling text area on my home page that I am referring to? How could I better explain my problem? Is there a better or more targeted forum I should be in? Thanks. -
Nokia E6-00 : Phone contacts disappeared
All my contacts in the phone memory just disappeared today morning. This has happened once before too sometime last year. I restored the contacts by syncing with my PC then. I checked settings. Phone memory is in use, and both phone and sim contacts are enabled for display. Everything else is perfect. Gallery and messages are intact. I do not have a memory card in the phone.
ThanksBetter clarify as you remember what you did on the phone just before you noticed the empty contact list?

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 ! -
ICloud Group contacts disappeared after upgraded to Windows 8.1.
After upgrading to Windows 8.1 received message "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." When opening the iCloud contacts in Outlook 2010. I performed the fix of signing out of the iCloud control panel and back in to resolve the above error message and was able to access my addresses. However, all of the iCloud Group contacts disappeared from Outlook and from iCloud. Is there any way to restore the iCloud contacts back to a point when the Group contacts still existed.
Hi @Tomhum2010 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 14t-1200 CTO Beats Edition Notebook PC and issues after an Windows 8.1 update. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan issue.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system. If the drivers are not updated this could cause this same issue.
If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks.

recent upgrade I lost all my contacts, I only had icloud for find my phone. My son backs his contacts up to my id, so when the upgrade happen it wipped out my contacts. I had been doing backups on my computer when I plug it in. But the problem is that it overlays the previous backup and after the upgrade it wiped out my phone contacts. So now I lost them and can not recover them. You need a more robust backup for IPhone.... I can not use the cloud because of my work will not let me. I have confidential information or access to it on my phone. I do not like each time I upgrade I lose my contacts and then I can't recover them because the backup runs again and overlays it. Should be a way to get increamental backups at point and time and not overlay everything. So frustrating with my upgrades and constantly losing my contacts. Very insufficent.
I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS. -

Badge icon disappears after 2.0 Update
After installing the Podcasts 2.0 update I noticed that the badge icon for the number of unread podcasts had disappeared. I am an experienced iPhone user and went through the normal trouble shooting steps of syncing, uninstalling an reinstalling, but the bange icon always disappears after applicaton of the Podcasts 2.0 update.
Has anybody elso noticed this behavior?yeah an option would be good.
i'm still not sure myself whether this is intentional or a bug. especially as if you go in to the app and mark a podcast episode as played then go back to the full episode list again and then go back and mark the same one again as unplayed, then exit the app, it then shows that change on the badge app icon count, which as it's not a recent download but just recently marked as unplayed does seem a little buggy to me.
