Restoring iPhone 5 causes contacts to disappear.

When I restore my iPhone 5 from my computer, the contacts at the start all appear from my last backup then after few seconds they are removed. i have restored the phone many times but the same problem occured. Please help.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.

  • HT1414 how to restore iphone to retrieve contacts

    How do you restore iphone 3gs to retrieve contacts after unlocking iphone

    I assume you have an iTunes backup.
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

  • Backup caused contacts to disappear. Why can I not get them back?

    I was asked for my apple password to complete a backup. After I entered the password my contacts disappearred and I am unable to get them back on my iPhone from either the Verizon website or from the Apple iCloud site. How can I get them back without having to reenter them from scratch.

    If you generate a new sync key then all data stored on the Sync server is reset, so you can't retrieve it anymore.
    The sync key is used locally to encrypt your data before sending it to the sync server, so you should always backup this key to a safe location.

  • Restore iphone but keep contacts?

    Hi all
    I'm wanting to restore my iphone completely but somehow keep my contacts. I have backed up to itunes and icloud, but it wont backup all my contacts, only about 10 of them. Is there anyway to remove my contacts, restore my iphone 4s and then just put my contacts back to the phone? I have tried deleting all data from the phone, but of course, because only a few contacts have been backed up, I cannot replace them.
    I'm on Windows 8 and my phone has been recently upgraded to iOS 8 (which I hate!)
    Also, if I restore my iphone completely, is there a chance it could be locked to a certain network? I've had the phone from a friend a while back and I'm on EE but I'm not sure if she was on a different network - I cant remember if I had to unlock it or not.
    Thanks

    I've never jail broken my phone, but I did have to unlock it from O2 to EE when I first had the phone.
    Yes, I'm not restoring it to get back to 7, I have issues with the battery and the technician told me to try restoring it before paying anyone to repair.
    Thanks

  • [iPhone SDK] Reproducing Contact's "disappearing" search bar behavior

    hi there,
    my app is very similar to Contacts app, but unlike the Contacts app, i can't get my app to get rid off the search bar at the top when contact names are flicked through.
    when contact list is not in search mode i set search bar as a header for an empty section at the top of a list. when it goes to search mode, i tried to remove search bar from table view and set it as a sibling of tableview.
    any suggestions on how to get this going? thanks.

    I don't think you can do it this way. Instead, try making the first viewcontroller the root controller, then in the last one, use viewWillDisappear to call popToRootViewController.

  • HT204150 What could be causing Contacts to disappear from my devices?

    This is frustrating!

    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

    My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    Backups do not cause contacts to disappear.
    Why do you believe this has occurred?
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud/Exchange. 

  • My contacts keep disappearing

    Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 (I have an iphone 4s) my contacts will disappear every so often.   The first time they disappeared was of course when I upgradd to 7.  Apple, how hard is it to keep the contacts and retore them after an OS upgrade?   And now, my contacts seem to disappear every week, with NO input or change instructed by me.  I have just reclaimed my contacts tonight after what is perhaps the 4th time they have disappeared, by going to settings/contacts, email, and selecting download SIM contacts.   Come on Apple!   This is stupid!  

    I have the same issue on my 4S and they disappear randomly. I have tried to hard reset with the home and sleep button and that does not work. Restoring is the only way it works but I dont have my MAC all the time and I do not use icloud. Is there is any solution to this? my warranty is over and there is not clear solution to this other than taking it into APPLE to complain but it is no longer under the 1 year warranty.... ***** help..
    This started only when i upgraded to iOS7. Not cool Apple....:-/

  • I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
    But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
    After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

  • IPhone 4: lost contacts!  Restore from Backup only works for 30 seconds after restore job, then contacts disappear!

    The last time I backed my phone up, my contacts disappeard.  So I went back in and "restored from backup."   When the restore job finished, I opened up my "recent calls" and the names of my recent callers appeared for about 30 seconds and then they turned back into phone numbers.  No contacts appear in my contact list. 
    I called apple-care and all they're interested in is trying to get me to give them money. 
    I tried free support from this website but the person on the other end was clueless...utterly clueless....did not even understand what I meant when I uttered the phrase "restore from backup."  I had to take him through the process I had just gone through step by painstaking step, and all he could do was ask me why I didn't have my contacts.
    Is there anyone here whocan help with this? 
    PLEASE...help me. 

    Wjosten,
    You are absolutely correct, they are very much apart of the backup.  I lost all my contacts and did the same thing as you, restored a previous backup.  Upon completion of the restore, all my contacts were there.  Like you, after 30 seconds, mine too erased.  I tried to mess with iCloud with no luck, after re-establishing connection with either wi-fi or cellular, my contacts erased.
    I tried several times and was able to finally get my contacts copied over from the restore, here is how but only works if you have the restore available with the contacts still present.
    1. Restore from the previous backup (you must watch your phone because you have to be ready for the next step)
    2. When your phone restarts, immediately place your phone in "airplane mode" to stop it from connecting to the cloud and wiping away your contacts.  (Your contacts will remain until airplane mode is turned off)
    3. Within iTunes, search for and download "My Contacts Backup" which is FREE and does not need to connect to the Internet to work.
    4. Within iTunes, under the iPhone, navigate to the App's tab and find "My Contacts Backup" and click the install button to have it installed onto your phone.
    5. After installed, run the "My Contacts Backup" and follow the prompts.  Do not change any settings, they are already properly set up.  After it copies all the contacts, it is ready to e-mail out.  Email them to an address you can get on your phone.
    6. Turn off airplane mode (this will delete the contacts as said above but we have a backup.)
    7. Open the e-mail and click on the attachment.  Follow the short steps and all your contacts will re-populate.
    If you are like me, this fix also took care of my iMac and iPad contacts.  I have all 400 contacts back.  I hope this helps if you haven't found a fix or anyone that finds this page in the future.  While trying to fix this, I stumbled across software that was over $100.00 to fix this problem.  This is the free way
    FYI - I had the iPhone 5 running 6.0.2
    Good luck,
    Reed

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

    Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive
