Used contact categories - now all my contacts have vanished?

My question has to do with Contacts. This is my first blackberry which I've only had a couple of weeks, I was adding some new contacts and came about an option which enabled me to categories my contacts into 'personal' and 'business'.   I selected personal because the contact I was adding was a personal contact. However, when I now open my contacts from the main menu all of the business contacts I have added to date have disappeared.  I have tried to retrace my steps and undo what I have done but I can't figure out how I have managed to this. I have ‘de-selected’ the personal category in the personal contact I added but all my other contacts are still missing.   I’d appreciate your help. Many thanks in advance.

  • HT201493 How do you change the settings for find my friends to use my contacts. When I signed in I selected do not allow iPhone to use my contacts and now all the names are in e mail format.

    When I opened the app I selected do not allow, to use my contacts, but now realise I should have allowed it. I have uninstalled and reloaded it, but it will not ask me to use my contacts again. Any ideas as now I see e mail names and not just the persons name.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this.  I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also.  Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

    I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together.  How do I undo this?  Do i create him a different icloud account? 

    Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
    In the next step, create a new account on his device:
    (Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

  • I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    I synced my sisters phone with my itunes and now all her contacts have disappeared and been replaced with mine and also photos... she has never done a back-up is there any way we can get all her contacts and pictures back?

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

    I updated my iPhone 4 to OSX6 and uploaded to the cloud.  Now all my contacts are lost.  What to do?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device:

  • My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

    my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

    If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged.  Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
    The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud).  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.  Just sync them back

  • Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

    I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
    This is very disturbing.
    What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

    I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

    i'd like to use the categories from my outlook contacts, i'm looking for recommended applications?

    There is a third party I tried it. Didn't work for me because they wanted me to sync my contacts on their cloud. It doesn't work with USB Sync. But if you want to try it here:

    Best would be if Apple adds the feature and supports the categories!!!

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.
