TS4108 No contacts on iPhone

i sync my iphone on iTunes and it syncronized songs, tones but no contacts are stored where do i find them? or how do i know where are they stored. thanks!

Assuming you are syncing your contacts with iCloud (Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On), you may want to consider upgrading your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).  This will allow you to sync your contacts in iCloud to your Mac Address Book (called Contacts in Mountain Lion).
To sync contactas with iTunes you have to select to sync them with Address Book on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings.  However, if you have already been syncing your phone you may have to reset your Sync Services Folder to get contact syncing started.  You also have to be careful that there is at least one contact in Address Book before syncing to trigger a merge or replace prompt when you sync (choose merge).  In other words, it may be messy and risk losing your contacts at this point to start syncing with Address Book.  Upgrading to Mountain Lion and using iCloud syncing is easier and safer.

  • TS4108 Hello, all my Contacts from iPhone 5s and also from iCloud disappeared yesterday. Is it possible to get them back? Please Help. Thank you.

    Hello,
    All my Contacts from iPhone 5s and also from iCloud disappeared yesterday. Can I get them back?
    Please Help.

    If you begin syncing contacts with iCloud you will be given the option to merge your contacts with the accout.  If you do, your contacts will be uploaded to the account and will appear on both your phone and hers (if she is sharing the same account/ID).  Be aware that if you do this, if she then deletes your contacts from her device, they will also be deleted from yours and they will be lost.  For this reason, it's usually recommended that different users maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, which makes it easier for users to restore contacts from iCloud.

  • ITunes deleted all contacts in iPhone

    Hello!
    I've synchronized contacts on my iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook (using iTunes), and as a result all my iPhone contacts were deleted, and contacts from Outlook were written to iPhone. So, I lost all my iPhone contacts, despite indicating in iTunes that I need to COMBINE two address books..
    The question is - is there any chance to restore my iPhone contacts?
    And additional question - is there a tool to send all contacts from iPhone to Windows Contacts? iTunes does it in its own way, updating only part of the contacts. For example. I've deleted all contacts from my WIndows Contacts, synchronized iPhone with Windiws Contacts, and still only several contacts appeared in Windows Contacts.
    Thank you for any advice.
    Best regards,
    Alexey

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

  • How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

    I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
    Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
    This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
    Help please.

    Thank you for trying to help.
    I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
    After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
    Thank you.

  • How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?, How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?

    How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories? I have over 4000 contacts and need to organize them as clients, personal, etc. I used to be able to do this in Blackberry but have not found a way to do it with the iPhone.

    I don't think that function is possible with IOS.   The only thing I see is you can put the company that the contact is with for clients. 
    there maybe an app that can do that, try doing a search.

  • Dilemma: How Can I Transfer My iPhone 3G Contacts to iPhone 5 or iPhone 4 If iTunes Won't Sync It?

    Hi. The iPhone 3G has 4.2.1 which iCloud doesn't support. It means my Contacts on the iPhone 3G can't be synced to my iMac because Mountain Lion gets the updated Contacts from iCloud. If I'll buy the iPhone 5 (assuming it great beyond expectations. Almost 4 years with iPhone 3G is great- very durable even if it's made in China; it's the designer that counts when it comes to quality I guess for the most part) or future iPhones I won't be able to transfer all the data, the Contacts especially to iPhone 5 or later? (even If use apps like iPhone Explorer which doesn't actually see the Contacts in the iPhone 3G but if even if it did it still won't be compatible with iTunes to transfer the Contact to iPhone 5).
    What could be a solution. Should install onto an USB external drive an earlier OS that has an iTunes that'll work with iOS 4.2.1 so I can primarily backup Contacts? If that's a solution, what OS would that be and what iTunes version?
    Thank you in advance.
    Gbu.

    I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.

    You have to follow the process outlined here to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup..  Otherwise, as you have noticed, the recovered contacts are overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • How to delete multiple contacts in iphone 5s

    Is there an easy way to delet multiple contacts on iphone 5s annd 5c. I can delete them one at a time, but wondered if theres a way to do some of them but not all.

    No, there's no mass delete or partial mass delete option.
    If these are iCloud based contacts, you may find it easier to go to www.icloud.com and delete them there.
