Updating to IOS 5.0.1 deleted all my contacts and calender - twice! - help

So Sunday evening my iphone was connected to my home wi-fi and a message popped up asking if i wanted to update to iOS 5.0.1 So i clicked and it installed and everything was fine.
I woke up on monday morning and every single one of my 70+ contacts had been deleted. I then waited until I got home from work before I plugged my iphone into itunes as I thought my contacts on icloud would then be added to the phone but I checked icloud and my contacts we deleted from there as well?
So I then added around 15 of my main contacts back into the phone last night and up until around an hour ago 13:00GMT all of them were still in my phone.
But now they are all deleted again even though I havnt connected to a wi-fi network or plugged my ipod into a computer!
Someone please help me - no idea what to do!

iOS 8.0.1 was not ready for prime-time, unfortunately.  Follow these directions and roll back to iOS 8:  http://mashable.com/2014/09/24/how-to-downgrade-ios-8-0-1/

  • My non-so-techno missus has had my old iphone4s, deleted all my contacts, and put hers in, then backed up to iCloud (mine) so now I have her contacts on my 5s......and ideas?

    My non-so-techno missus has my old iPhone 4S, deleted all my contacts and put hers in, then backed up to iCloud (mine) so now I have all her contacts on my 5s.....any ideas?

    iCloud isn't a backup where Contacts etc. are concerned, it's a syncing service. Any changes you make on any device connected to it are transmitted to iCloud and then to other devices. If your son signed into your iCloud account and deleted contacts then that's the same as if you had deleted contacts on your own device. I'm afraid that as far as iCloud is concerned, deleted is deleted. If you don't have an independent backup such as Time Machine, or a backup of your iOS device on iCloud or iTunes, then you can't retrieve your data. If you had made a backup of your iOS device you can restore that - it will restore the entire backup so any changes made subsequent to the backup will be lost.

  • How do I delete all my contacts and folders to start off new again as they just keep on coming back all the time?

    How do I delete all my contacts and folders to start off new again as they just keep on coming back all the time after deleted?
    Is there an email address for better communication as this way I find extremely difficult?

    check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
    look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

  • ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

    All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
    I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
    I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
    I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
    I hope someone can help. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • How do I delete all my contact groups? Please help me!

    I have deleted all my contacts so I can start fresh- there were so many mistakes. How do I delete the contact groups on my IPhone and the "selected groups" in ITunes under sync contacts with Outlook.

    I take it you want to delete the itunes list and not from your hard drive.
    Select one song in the list, hold down the ctrl + A to select them all (or you can go to viwe on the menu and selcet all. Press the delete key. It might ask you if you want to keep the actual files or send them to the recycle bin. This is your choice, be careful though.
    If your recycle bin is set to only hold a certain amount of data and your mucic exceeds this amount you may not be able to recover it all if you make a mistake.

  • Synch deleted all my contacts and calendar

    I formatted my laptop due to virus, than I downloaded i-tunes.
    later i connected my I-phone to the laptop and did the synch process in order to copy my contacts from my i-phone to outlook.
    Unfortunately I noticed that after finishing the synch. no contacts appear in outlook, so I checked my i-phone and was shocked to see that all my contacts and calendars were deleted.
    Please help urgently.
    Thanks\Alain

    Easy... Just restore your contacts to Outlook from any of the backups you've made before formatting your computer, then sync them back to the phone.

  • My iPhone 5S needs 4.7 gb storage to install iOS 8. After deleting all removable apps and removing photos I only have 4.4 gb. Is there anything else that can be done to be able to install the update?

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2 with 5.0 gb total storage. Need 4.7 gb available storage to update to iOS 8.0.2. After removing all apps that I can and photos I only have 4.4 gb available storage. Have not yet added any music or videos. Is there any other way to reach 4.7gb or any other way to install the update?

    You don't have to remove anything if you do the update via your pc with i-tunes.
    Then you need only 1,1 GB.

  • HT1766 Please help!  I updated myiPhone 4S today and it deleted all my contacts and text messages.  I backed it up before the update and got all my pics out, but the phone did a new backup with blank version.  How do I get my contacts and messages back?

  • How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

    How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
    Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll. 

  • I want to delete all my contacts and resync..how do i do that?

    i want to delete all of my contacts and resync to my yahoo ..how do i do that?

    Hi,
    I would imagine the best way would be to
    connect your Ipad to your mac or pc
    in the info page check the box next to "sync address book contacts"
    tick "Yahoo address book contacts"
    scroll to the bottom and under "advanced" check the box for contacts
    sync
    I strongly suggest a backup before you do all of this.
    Let me know.

  • Iphone deleted all my contacts and when i plugged it in automatic backup ran and wiped all contacts

    Hi All,
    Yesterday I noticed that all my contacts were deleted from my iphone 3. I hadn't plugged it in to a computer, it had been on wi-fi earlier but I hadn't accessed itunes or anything. Everything else (text messages, music, apps) was fine. When I arrived home and plugged it into my computer to access the back-up, automatic back-up ran and backed-up my contact-less iphone. I tried restoring from back-up - no dice.
    How can I access older back-ups with my contacts and restore them to my phone? Why were my contacts erased and how can I stop it from happening again?
    Thanks for your help!

    Several of my friends also had this problem recently. Wondering if you use LINE or FB often on your phone?

  • If i have to sync my iphone to my computers library is it going to delete all my contacts and email accounts and all the information i have on it?

    I mean its rediculous that it will delete my apps etc but is it TRULY going to delete my contacts and email accounts? Do i have to start from scratch?

    iPhones are designed to sync to only one computer or iTunes library.  Attempts to sync them to a new computer or library will infact wipe the device and replace the contents with contents from the new library.
    If contacts and calendars are synced with a cloud service like mobileme, gmail, or an exchange server, then they will not be affected.
    If however they are synced with a supported application on the computer or the user rely's on the device solely for contacts, they will be wiped.
