Update to itunes 9.1 - All contacts are missing after syncing iphone 3G

I have updated Mac OS and itunes to the latest versions and synced my iphone as everytime. As I started my navigation app during car driving I noted that *all my stored contacts do not exist anymore*. It seems that the last sync has deleted my whole contacts library on my phone. Only the empty distribution lists are available. My contact folder in the address book of my mac are still existing. But neither a iphone reset nor the replacement action for contacts in itunes are working to solve the problem.
I hope the itunes-team is working on a bugfix. It is not acceptable, that a s/w-update is not tested enough before being released to the community.
Please give a message how the further plan is. Thx. Axel

I just had the same problem on my Windows 7 PC.
I updated to iTunes 9.1 a few days prior. On 4/19, I plugged my iPhone 3G into my Windows 7 laptop to charge it, didnt touch anything on the phone or the laptop, and went to sleep. The next morning I grabbed my phone and went to work. I noticed that all of my contacts had been deleted off my phone. I then went home that night and looked at my laptop, which I had not used since before I plugged in my iPhone. All of my contacts have been deleted off my laptop as well. I tried doing a system restore on my laptop to see if it would restore my windows contacts. No luck. I also did the system restore to see if it would bring up an earlier version of an iphone backup, as itunes automatically backed up my phone when i reconnected it, so my contacts were no longer on there as well.
Please help!

    Hello dtorres74302
    Check to see if you had a back up within iTunes or through iCloud to see if you can recover that data.

    Thanks,

    Your signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
    Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud.

  • All music in my library are missing after sync.

    All music in my library are missing after synch, but it seems that its still in the phone cause I checked memory usage and it doesn't add up. And when I connect it to itunes and checked the memory usage bar in the bottom,  it seems that my music was categorized in "Others". I'm using iPhone 5s with the latest OS.

    This has just happened to me, I've had songs in Music on my phone for years and suddenly, and randomly, they're greyed out and unplayable. This applies to some playlists and not others, to songs I've played on my phone even in the last week.
    Damned infuriating and I can't yet find a resolution - Apple, what have you done this time!

  • All my apps are missing after syncing???

    After trying to update all my apps, I had my husband sync my Iphone to my ibook. Everything went fine, when I disconnected my Iphone, I found that all the apps I had purchased (or that were free) were missing from my phone. My husband and I played a bit with it and re-syncing it, we found that my apps are not stored on my laptop either (unless they are hidden somewhere.) However, I found under the App icon a list of all my husband's iphone apps waiting to be installed on my iphone.
    My questions: what happened to my apps? Will I have to reinstall all of my apps and then repay for them? How did my Iphone get his apps waiting to be installed on my iphone? (he has his own ibook computer that he syncs his own phone to). Are all my apps somewhere on my computer/iphone, but just hidden? And if so, how do I get to them?
    Thanks...I've never used this Apple Support - hope someone can help!

    Is it just your apps or is other media missing too? Are the apps still in the ...\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder?

  • I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

    I update my IPhone4 to IOS6 from IOS4.3.3. My all songs are missing in the Iphone4. How to get those songs into my Iphone from ITunes. Even after sync also not coming to IPhone.

    The iphone is not  storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    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.

    I just had similar experience where I lost links to my files in creative cloud.  There was an update to creative cloud today and my creative cloud on PC was replaced with a new one.  I went to my User Account and found two Creative Cloud Accounts: "Creative Cloud" and "Creative Cloud (unknown)".  The "Creative Cloud (unknown)" is where I found my linked files.  Check to see if you now have two creative accounts on your PC.  This may be the reason????
    I am currently copying and pasting all my files into the current "Creative Cloud" from the "Creative Cloud (unknown)".   I am only focusing on 1 InDesign Doc I have due to tomorrow and had to manually reset all the links to it.  If I have to manually restore all links to my files saved in Creative Cloud--I will blow a gasket on Monday! All PDF files (interactive ones especially) I have saved have lost their links--I don't even want to look at or deal with right now.

  • IMessage - I changed the time on macbook pro and now it won't let me log in. All contacts are shown in red.

    I have a macbook pro, bought new in Sept 2011.
    Yesterday, I changed the date (forwarded it to 2020 - for a silly reason) and then changed it back. Now my iMessage on the macbook shows up that all contacts are offline and when I can't log in.
    I've trawled through a number of the already-existing threads on this and tried a few things - in Terminal, or in Systems Prefs but can't get it to work.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Pádraig.

    Log out or restart the computer and try again. Make sure the date is now correct.

    After updating my iTunes it no longer acknowledges that my iPod or iPhone is connected so I can't update my music.. I have followed all of these steps and everything is working fine but this new version of iTunes isn't recognizing my devices. Any advice?

    I have the same problem. Running Win 8 64Bit, updated to latest ITunes and now will not recognize phone or pad. Followed all advice from Apple (uninstall/restart/re-install, all in exact order) ... nothing. Spoke with Apple tech and walked through the whole process, but no resolution. Tech was trying to be helpful but has no way of addressing issue.
