I updated my iphone backed up everything but once it updated I turned on my phone and everything was wipped out!! my contacts gone, my apps gone, how do I get them back
Try going to file-devices-restore from backup, if you dont have a backup then you may redownload past purchases (movies, music, apps, etc) from their respective stores by visiting "purchased" section.

I just bought a square and in order to use it I needed to download Itunes with OS1. I did it but now I have no contacts, is that normal? Are all my contacts gone for good?
There is no iTunes download for any iOS device.

Phone browser contacts do not update
Hi,
I'm using Nokia PC Suite 6.83.14.1 on Windows XP professional SP2 and Outlook 2003 SP2.
I've noticed that the phone browser contact synchonisation does not work correctly. More specifically, when I update or add a contact in outlook, then synchronize with pc synch, everything is synchronized fine with my phone. But when I go to the phone browser and look at the contacts, no updates have been done. If i refresh the phone browser contacts at that point, the changes I made in outlook (and synched to the phone) get overwritten.
I've already tried deleting the phone browser db and then the contacts are displaying exactly like on the phone (since the db is rebuilt) but when I do a new edit in outlook and synch that, the same problem occurs in the phone browser. To me, it looks like the phone browser does not know how to deal with edits done outside of it.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this?Right, that would potentially solve the problem on my XP pc, but I want to keep everything synchronized between my cell phone and my 2 computers.
Also, shouldn't the most recent version of a software normally have more functionality instead of less. I think this is some kind of bug in the latest version of PC suite. -
my phone was unable to finish the latest update and gone into recovery mode. will only restore if i do a factory reset, but i dont wanna lose my photo/videos!!! how can i back up up before i restore it. im not able to acces my phone normaly, stuck in recovery or something.
it seemed to have backed up everything just before the software update 6.1.4. so after the full restore i restored from backup and its all still there (mostly)
what a relieve...thx -
Hi, I had a clear up of contacts from my iphone but then when I synced the phone they all came back? how do I overwrite the sync with my updated contacts?
There may be several that were bought with your Apple ID. but somewhere in the updates there must be one associated with that other ID.
You can update one by one, until you find the one that requires the other Apple ID. -
All my contacts is in my hotmail but i cant sync it to my phone.. And now all my contacts in my phone are all gone.. Pls help
You need to check other places where your contacts may be stored:
- iTunes/iCloud back up
- iCloud if you synced them to it -
I have an iphone 4s. Recently, the phone updated and I cannot find my contact list. It looks like there are no contacts

I have recently switched to the latest i-phone. my contacts are updated by i-cloud between phone and mac laptop.there are only about 720 contats showing on phone from app. 1250 on the computer. please advise how to correct phone
On the mac, only contacts in the "iCloud" section will sync to other devices. Those in the "On my mac" section do not. Could that be your problem?
To test the icloud situation, log into icloud.com with your mac's safari and to to the contacts page. What you see there is what icloud has received from mac and iphone. -
Phone and contacts app freezes, becomes slow and scrolling is jittery
My setup:
iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
I don't have 3G on my CIM (provider BASE.BE), I can only use WiFi to connect to internet.
I sync my gmail contact (mail and calendar are turned off) through the iPhone built in Exchange account connector.
Fetch new data is off, push is off, fetch set to manually, advanced schedule set to manual.
I only turn WiFi on once a day, when I'm home, sync contacts and then I turn WiFi off again.
Spotlight search is turned off.
Device runs fine, battery life is great (much better than my iPhone 3Gs), I have about 2700 contacts, no duplicates, updates in both directions, everything working perfectly.
Then without any warning, or even without any use of the phone, this happens:
1) The phone and contacts app becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, remains very slow, scrolling becomes jittery or freezes. When the symptom occurs both apps have this issue. I assume because both use contacts. Both apps don't crash, they just get very slow as if they were trying to do something heavy. This does not happen with any particular event, like getting a call or text message. This can happen even at night without any missed calls or text messages send or received. The symptom does not affect any other app. For example when I open the iPod app, scrolling though the long list of music is fast, without any freezing or jittery behavior, while the Phone and Contacts app is still very slow. The problem does not go away by itself. Hard rebooting the phone does not help. I assume the problem is not related to any purchased apps because this can happen when none of them are running.
2) The phone gets really hot.
3) The battery drains very fast. I can go from 100% to 0% in under 30 minutes.
4) CPU usage (use System App to measure) goes from < 20% to >75% or more.
I notice the symptom mostly when in the 1) phone app, or 2) I feel the phone heat up or 3) in the morning when the phone battery is almost empty when it was full the night before.
I can fix the problem by 1) turning on WiFi, opening the contacts app. Then I see the circular indicator in the top left hand corner turning round. This takes just a few seconds, to sync 1 or 2 contacts en when the indicator disappears, the problem is gone. Scrolling is fast again. Problem fixed. It can take a day or two and the problem comes back. Do sync trick again and problem gone again, and so on...
I can also fix the issue by 2) deleting my gmail exchange account, putting it back and syncing everything back. But like with solution 1) the problem will just returns after a few days.
I have even tried a full factory reset and manually putting all my apps back. But again, when I import my gmail contacts, wait a few days and problem returns.
I've been having this issue for a few months now and have done quit some research on the subject. I'm pretty sure I also had the issue on iOS 4.1 and possibly also 4.0. I did not have the issue in iOS3. I had the same problem on my iPhone 3Gs which Apple replaced. I thought the battery was dying. Now I bought an iPhone 4, same problem.
I purchased many system monitor apps to find out what process was causing the problem. The problem is that none of the apps I found report CPU or memory consumption per individual process. So I only know CPU goes from below 20 to 75% and more, but I can't pinpoint which app or process is doing the extra consumption. But it has to be one the standard built in iOS processes. I can see when what process started. And when the issue happens, I can hard reset and don't launch anything, and the problem is still there.
When iPhone apps crash and you connect your phone via iTunes the crash reports are put on your computer. I found these logs but because the contact and phone app don't crash I have found nothing interesting there.
I have not found a way to trigger the problem on purpose. I tried adding, changing deleting contact on my iPhone, none of these actions trigger the issue. The problem just appears at random.
I have also not found a way NOT to have the issue. I've tried not changing any contacts for a few days, but the problem still creeps up.
I have read dozens of threads on the internet and only this one comes close:

<Edited by Host>I solved this problem by restoring my phone to factory setting. I dint find any solution to this problem. Now instead of using "Google Sync" i use iTunes contact sync which does the same thing.
The key is not to use "Google Sync" when you restore your iPhone. Follow these steps:
1. Take back up of everything. Sync your contacts so your gmail has latest contacts.
2. Restore your iPhone. And set it as new iPhone instead of reloading everything from previous backup.
3. Sync everything using iTunes.
4. For contacts go to Info -> Sync Contact with -> you can set up gmail here and it will load all gmail contacts to your iPhone.
My iPhone is working perfectly after this. I hope it works on your too. -
6680 Firmware update: Contacts not displayed on ph...
Hi, I upgraded my 6680 withe Nokia Software Updater. Before updating my phone I successfully carried out a full back up of the phone and the 64Mb memory card installed in the phone. I used PC Suite 6.8.13.0 to carry out the backup (it used Content Copier v3.0 that is part of PC Suite). The software update completed successfully. I then Restored the phone from my full backup. This appeared to complete successfully. When I attempted to verify the information on the phone I noticed the following: 1. All data, including custom settings (but not 3rd party applications that I had installed) and all messages were restored to the phone. 2. The Contacts are empty on the phone. I then tried the following on the phone: Contacts / Options / Copy - From memory card. This results in no data being copied from the memory card (I do not belive that the contact dats is on the memory card anyway). 3. I have noticed that using the Nokia Phone Browser in Windows Explorer (Windows XP SP2) that I can see all my contacts in the Contacts section. This indicates to me that the contact data is on the phone. I repeated the restore from full back up process and it had exactly the same results. I then tried backup my Phone memory to the 64Mb card with the following thought - if the contact data is on the Phone in Phone memory, and I back it up to the memory card, then I may be able to try restoring the Phone memory from the card and see the contacts again. I was able to successfully back up the Phone memory to the card. I restored the phone from the backup on the card and it completed with a reboot. There is still no contact data visible in the Contact on the phone BUT they are still visible through Windows Explorer/Nokia Phone Browser. I then tried to go to Contacts on the Phone and choose Copy / From memory card. Again there were no contacts to restore (despite the allegedly successful Phone memory backup) and the Contacts on my phone is still empty. Additional information: I do NOT syncronise my Contacts with any application such as Outlook/Lotus Notes etc. This is becomming the straw that will break the camel's back - unless I can get my phone to function the way it should I will NEVER go near another Nokia product again - and ensure that none of may family do either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Martin
Hey, I can second this! Just upgraded the firmware to V4.04.07 on my 6680 and I have also lost visibility of all my contacts. They are however showing in Nokia PC Suite Contacts section when phone is connected. (PC Suite v6.81.130) I did a full back-up of the phone before upgrading fimware, and then tried to restore afterwards. Initially I had problems restoring and it would freeze after 'messages' but eventually after a couple of attempts it made it to 100percent restored. All data seems to have been restored to the phone ok and everything functions (including tomtom) apart from the contacts. I can even sync my 6680 with Lotus Notes for calendar, to-do etc. ok. The contacts were originally stored on the phone for the extra fucntionality as mentioned by martin above. I have tried copying from Memory Card SIM within the phone and it says there are 0 records, I have tried to sync (update button) the PC Suite with the phone and as mentioned previously this does nothing and returns the error ' The syncronisation has been terminated '. I checked the folder C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Phone Browser\Contacts and there were no VCF files in there at all. I also have the PCsync installed (auto-installed when using PC Suite to read messages on phone) and it made no difference before or after. I have tried adding a contact onto both phone and PC suite and neither will sync to the other, with same error as above. I have destoyed the log as described in C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Nokia\PCSync\SynchData and this also made no difference. I am loathed to try the full reset (*#7370#) on the phone as described previously bearing in mind the problems this seems to cause! Did you get past the lock code martin? If I put in new contacts manually into the phone they are saved and work ok - don't fancy doing that over 160 times to re-populate the phone! This is all very dissapointing and not expected of Nokia...strange thing is one of my colleagues has updated several of these phones and never experienced a problem, but this is obviously not unique as a couple of us have raised the point now. Help would be greatly appreciated... Craig (PS format has gone to pot...i did remember to use ENTER!)

Phone and Contacts APP not working after the upgrade 4.01 from 4.0
Dear all
after the upgrade to 4.01 my iphone stop to operate the phone and the contacts app
when i open phone or contacts the app close(crash) after 1 sec.
When i connect to the mac i have the following message from itunes:
"iTunes could not sync to the iPhone"Christos" because contacts are being synced over-the-air."
Trying to open and change the settings at: mail, contacts, calendar but also crash
Please help
Thanks for your supportThis happened to me after I upgraded to 4.0. While the iPhone update offers some great new features it has really done a number on some very basic functions and overall operation.
I am no longer able to use the contacts app to place calls. I can pull up my contact list but when I select an individual contact, the phone seems to freeze for a second and then crashes. (It might be worth mentioning that I use Exchange to sync my contacts.) While the contacts are all on the phone, I can't access actual contact information for each individual.
I'm also experiencing random freezes, touchscreen delays, etc.
I can deal with some minor bugs but not being able to use your contacts to place calls is a huge problem. -
I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
