Why did i loose my contacts?

i recently went to dial a number and all my contacts had just randomly disappeared! does anyone know how i can get them back or why this happened?

Are you syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account or with another email account that supports doing the same?

    WHY did i loose all my apps and music from my phonewhen i updated it?

    Without knowing all of the information we can only guess  .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync  and sync again.
    Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
    If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

    why did i lose my contacts after IOS 8.1.1 update?

        @cstigall - Were you able to get your contacts reversed? Sometimes that happens when you share or are logged in to the wrong Apple ID as Gina suggested.
    If you need further assistance, please let us know so we can help out!
    Thank you both, and take care!

  • HT4515 why did I loose my end call button at bottom of screen after last update? I have to push button on top of phone to end a call

    Why did I lose my end call button at bottom of screen after last update ? I have to end  a call by pushin button at top of phone

    Hi dave2370,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone.  The red End Call button should still be working.
    For initial troubleshooting, I would suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone, and also updating it to the latest version of the iOS software, which is iOS 6.1.4.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Why did I loose this much space?

    I just updated my iPad's software (IOS 4.2), but the computer I used to do so has about one gb less available space on it than before I updated. Does anyone know why, and how to get my space back? Thanks

    What issue(s) did you have that you have reset Firefox?
    Maybe the reset didn't finish properly.
    Do you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop or was Firefox not able to move the folder and is it still in its old location?

  • Why did iCloud delete my contacts? How do I restore them?

    I logged into my iCloud account. After a little while, my phone blinked on and off and now all my contacts are gone. Can you help?

    I wish. What you do need is to know where those contacts come from in the first place and get those from there again. Once you got them find out if they will go to icloud if you turn icloud on. Some things do go and some don't. Example is Verizon's back up assistant keeps your contacts internally and doesn't sync with icloud.

  • Why did icloud delete my contacts?

    After signing up for icloud to try out then not really caring for it I deleted my account.  Icloud deleted all of my stored contacts in the process.  Thank you for that.  Just what I needed on a Monday evening.

  • Why did i lose my contacts once I deleted an e-mail account?

    I was having issues with my e-mails so I deleted one of my e-mail accounts and I lost my contacts.
    Does anyone know how I can retrieve them?

    You set them up using the appropriate option for that account. Though Yahoo, iCloud, etc., if contacts were being synced from them, should have notified you when you deleted them that the associated information would be deleted and should have given you the option to keep them on the phone. Exchange accounts don't give you that option, so wjosten's assumption that they belonged specifically to an Exchange account is most likely correct.

  • Why did I lose my contacts after updating operating system on my Ipad

    I upgraded the operating sysem on my I-pad 2 to 5.1.1.
    Now my contacts and apps are gone. Trying to figure out how to get them back.
    thanks for your help.

    Updating to iOS 5.1.1?  Are you sure you have an iPad 2?  The original iPad cannot update to any system newer than iOS 5.1.1.  However, the iPad 2 can update to iOS 7.0.3 (current version).
    So my guess is there is something strange going on that would even allow you to update to iOS 5.1.1.  Etiher you have an original iPad, or you are using a very old version of iTunes on your computer, or something else very unusual.

  • Why did I lose my contact list on my iPhone 5?

    Hi! So, on friday I bought my iPhone 5 and yesterday's night I turned it off to put the screen protector. When I turned it on, like an hour or less later, most of my contacts were gone. Some of them were still there, and there were some phone numbers as well (but without the name) Does anyone know what's going on with the phone? And btw, I don't have an iCloud account, I sync my iPhone vía iTunes :) I would really appreciate it if you helped me. Thanks!!!!

    The old version of iWork should still be on your computer.
    Check in Applications (Command-Shift-A) for an iWork '09 folder.

  • Why did iCalendar loose view formatting on all browsers since yesterday on Windows 7?

    iCalendar on Windows 7 formatting view lost from Safari, Firefox, and IE.  No background and no style exists. Was ok yesterday.  Reboot did not change anything.  Any ideas on what is happening?

    Hmm. Wish I'd seen your posts earlier, I could have saved you some trouble. It's nothing on your machine. It's a problem at Chatropolis. I am able access a page on one of the two machines, the one at cs10.chatropolis.com. But the one at cs7.chatropolis.com, while the server is there, and can be pinged, sends back a "404 - not found" response.
    No matter what the owner says, these errors are server errors on his end, and have nothing to do with any settings on your computer. He's simply mistaken when he says they are coming off your computer. It's possible that he's confused by how Internet Explorer on Windows can be set up so that it will give you an error page that looks a lot like the same error page you'll get from a Windows IIS server. Or he simply doesn't know the technical details.
    But it doesn't look like he's running a Windows IIS server, either. According to the headers on his servers, they're running something called "IFCS", which a little digging shows to be something owned by his company.
