TS4036 my notes and contacts are missing

all of my contacts are missing. Is there any way of getting them back?

We need a lot more information.  Were they ever syncing between devices/computers?  Did this happen after you set up icloud on a device/machine?  Are they missing from all your computers/devices or just some; which ones?  I assume you turned on iCloud on the devices/computers as well as contacts - right?

  • I upgrade to Iphone software version 7.0.4.All of my photos and contacts are now missing.

    I upgraded my iphone to the software version 7.0.4
    since the upgrade all of my photos and contacts are missing.
    Any suggestions on how to retrieve?

    So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
    I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact  disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
    TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
    Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
    I've tried restarting the phone.
    I've tried resetting the phone.
    I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
    I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
    I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • Contacts are missing in Macbook pro and iCloud address book

    Hi, i backup my iPhone to my macbook pro and Icloud . When i looked into contacts, some contacts are missing and its not sync into macbook pro and iCloud also. How to fix this? how to get all contacts to my addressbook in both macbook pro and Icloud?

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

  • My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    my calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account.  On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
    Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
    If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com.  Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone.  Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
    If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my 4s and everything worked fine. Now I downloaded IOS 7.0.2 and my notes, reminders, and contacts are gone. How do I get them back?

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my 4s and everything worked fine. Now I downloaded IOS 7.0.2 and my notes, reminders, and contacts are gone. How do I get them back? I have backed up my phone, but not after I did the IOS7 update. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Hi kamcop68,
    If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

  • The drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDS are missing, it advised reinstalling but a reinstall does not fix

    When I open Itunesthis message appears
    "The regidtry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
    I have tried reinstalling mulitple times and it has not helped. I am not aware that any other CD burning softawre being installed.
    Also, when I plug in my I-pod another message appears saying
    "This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
    The 64-bit version is already installed and again reinstalling hasn't helped.
    What is wrong? Can anyone help?

    I think you might have two different things going on at once here.
    Let's try fixing the following one first:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

        Hello pootieq, iCloud is an awesome feature for backing up your phone info. Have you checked your iCloud settings to ensure the Backup option for contacts is enabled http://vz.to/1E1kigx? You can also check the iCloud page via browser to review your backed up phone content at www.apple.com/icloud.

    Howdy eewebe13,
    So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
    Please step through this article for that scenario.

    Rodger,
    Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
    and thank you for your swift response . . .
    and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
    Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
    "Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
    So I shall!
    Again, many thanks.
