TS1347 so i updated my iphone to ios 7 and its deleted 400 of my contacts and i can't get them back ***!!!

i recently updated my iphone 4s to ios7, and it has now deleted 400 of my contacts not impressed. theres no way i can get them back now this is the last updated i will be doing through apple, and probably the last apple product i will ever own lol.  Has this happened to anyone else? I tried some basic troubleshooting things like trying to locate it through i cloud but i dont use i cloud, and the access to my contacts pics etc through icloud was turned off so was the access for everything else so why the **** did they just disappear?

It generally happens every time you update a whole number. For instance, updating from iOS 5 to 6, from iOS 4 to 5, from iOS 3 to 4, and so on.
That's why Apple strenuously suggests that you back up your information. And why they provide two ways to back up your information, so that way if you lose it (by updating or restoring your device) you can get it back using either iTunes or iCloud.

  • I updated my iphone and everything transferred over but my contacts.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts.  How can I get them back?  Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple.  They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

    HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
    I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
    IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

    I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts.  Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

    Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss".  I suggest using iCloud in the future.

    how can i get my apps back

    Hey ramsrocket,
    To get back those apps, follow these directions:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
    via: Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • Iphone apps, photos, and contacts gone. Can I get them back or do I have to add apps back?

    I update my Iphone 4 today and it seemed to update fine until I looked on my phone and noticed not all of my apps were there and my contacts are from back in May. Nothing else such as pictures moved either. Is there some way to get this stuff back or Do I have to download apps again and be charged?
    I also tried to do the restore but the last date was in May?
    Thanks,
    Natalie

    Hi megamike1969,
    I've been losing some apps also in the Dock. As Niel said I think is that you may be able to just drag them back to the Dock, if you can find them.
    What I do is open Launchpad and while you're in there, drag the application to the Dock. If you can't locate the apps, then disregard this post.

  • HT204053 hi i have an ipod which shares same apple id etc as my iphone i was deleting the contacts off my ipod and now they are gone off my phone how can i get them back on my phone? help pls

    hiu i have an ipod which shares same itunes/icloud account as my iphone. i deleted the contacts off ipod and they have now gone off my phone too. anyone help, how can iget these back on my phone?

    When you share an iCloud account between devices, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the others.  (That's want iCloud does; syncs data across devices, keeping the data on the devices the same.)
    The only way to recover them now is to try restoring your device to your last backup, or restore them from another backup source.

  • I updated my phone and now all my photos are gone. How can I get them back?

    I really need to know. They Have all my memories fo rthe past 3 years.

    Well, certainly if you had 3 years of photos you have been importing them off the phone to your computer as recommended.  Just synch them back.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.
