When setting iCloud my contacts disappeared from my iPhone

I sync my iphone 5 with outlook as well as my ipad mini.
I created an icloud account to be able to use the find my iphone app.
It asked me what to do with my contacts and I chose merge.
My contacts have disappeared from my iphone an there are no contacts in icloud.
My ipad mini has the data since I have not configured icloud in the ipad.
What do you suggest to get the contacts back to my iphone?
And what do I need to do to configure icloud on the ipad without deleting the contacts
Thank you

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried that and when I slid the bar to off , I was asked what I wanted to do with the  icloud synched contacts, leave on the iPad or delete or cancel. I selected leave on the iPad and then the synch symbol came on screen, it stayed that way for over 30  minutes, in that state. I then rebooted the iPad and it came back , I went to the screen and the setting for iCloud contact was back to on. The contacts were still not there. My mail was still not working. I turned mail off and on , I received some email but not all as I compared to my iPhone and I tried to send an email it still did not send. I went back to the settings iCloud and turned contacts off again, I answered leav on iPad again and this time left it like that for an hour and had the same results.

  • HT1689 All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.

    All my contacts disappeared from my iPhone.
    The phone strarted "blinking" all of a sudden, and when it returned to normal all contacts were missing.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if I can somehow restore the contacts? (No, I did not syncronize them with my PC or store them online..)
    Thanks!

    I would try a reboot and pray that it helped.  But if you didn't back the phone up to itunes or icloud or if you don't already store your contacts in gmail, then they are probably gone forever.

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
    Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.

  • All contacts disappeared from my iphone when trying to use icloud. What happened?

    In order to set up Groups, I was advised to install CopyTrans (free version).
    I have also set up and use ICoud.com through my PC to make Groups and arrange contacts.
    But now I have NO contacts in my iPhone.  When I close the Contacts App and reopen it, some appear. But when I touch 'Groups' they all disappear again.
    How do I access all 700 contacts stored on iCould?
    When I Synch with my PC (which uses Outlook) all those 500 contacts are added AGAIN and AGAIN forcing me to delete duplicates constantly.
    And then when I turn on the iPhone and touch Groups - they disappear again.
    I switched from BlackBerry - was this a mistake?

    Suggest you consider using an app to back up your contacts.  This will allow you to easily restore them if this happens again.  One I can recommend is My Contacts Backup Pro, although I'm sure there are others that work as well.  The app will back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself and save either the email or the attachment.  If you ever need to restore your contacts you can just tap the attachment to import them back to your phone.
    Then, as mentioned in the other post, try saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll, delete the iCloud account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.  Hopefully it won't happen again after that.

  • Notes & Contacts disappeared from my iPhone

    All my notes disappeared from my notes app &amp; half of my contacts diasappeared, too! What happened to them, can I get them back? I've checked my email and apparently my notes stopped synching 10 days prior to all of this! Please Help, I have a ton of information gone missing! :(

    you have notes in outlook and your trying to move them to the phone and you have the itunes preference set under devices/info to sync notes with outlook and hit applY? if all these settings are correct and your using 2003/2007 outlook try resetting sync history (edit/pref/devices in itunes) also try making sure itunes is up to date... try syncing a new note in a new user on computer to phone (see if its content error) and if still having problems on new user i'd uninstall and re-install itunes.

  • Help! Big problem with new iphone update: infos & contacts disappeared from my iphone!

    Hi,
    I tried to update my iphone, it seemed to work but to let my iphone completely empty: no more phone numbers, pictures, etc.. in it. I thought I could pick the info on my itunes in computer but apparently the update broke the itunes program as well: it says that some elemets are missing... does someone have an idea??? THANKS SOOO MUCH!

    Contacts and calendar events aren't backed up? That's a complete load of hokey. They are backed up, and I ran into a similar problem and recovered them FROM the backup. Here's my post:

  • ICloud Group contacts disappeared after upgraded to Windows 8.1.

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1 received message "The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."  When opening the iCloud contacts in Outlook 2010.  I performed the fix of signing out of the iCloud control panel and back in to resolve the above error message and was able to access my addresses.  However, all of the iCloud Group contacts disappeared from Outlook and from iCloud.  Is there any way to restore the iCloud contacts back to a point when the Group contacts still existed.

     Hi @Tomhum2010 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 14t-1200 CTO Beats Edition Notebook PC and issues after an Windows 8.1 update. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan issue.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system. If the drivers are not updated this could cause this same issue.
    If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
    Hope this helps you out.

  • ICloud Contacts disappear from Outlook

    After the ios7 upgrade, my contacts disappear from Outlook.  They are still on iCloud and on my iPhone.
    I have tried the following:
    icloud control panel and unclicking the check box next to contacts and restarting machine and outlook.  Does not bring them back.
    icloud control panel and exiting icloud panel and then restarting machine and then logging back into icloud and reloading contacts.  Brings them back for one session.  Once I exit and get back into Outlook the contacts are goine.
    repairing icloud control panel (uninstalling and reinstalling) and reloading contacts.  Brings them back for one sesson and then disappear again.
    Any ideas.

    Any thoughts on a fix?
