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.

        @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!

  • 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.
    Chris

    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.

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • Why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    why did i lose apps when i synced with a new computer

    Because ipod touch will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another wil erase the current content.
    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    You can redownload apps:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?

    why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?

    I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
    Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
    All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
    You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
    We still don't know what version of Pages.
    Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
    "ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
    AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
    We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about.

  • Why did I lose my movies i purchesed ?

    I got a message for an update for my Itunes, I downloaded the update, and lost 4 movies i paied for, Why did I lose my movies? How do i get them back on to my computer?

    I would guess that you lost them because you failed to do the basics.  It has always been very basic to always back up your computer, most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store - Support - Apple

    I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone.  Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?

    Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone.  If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account.  If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.
