Why did my contacts disappear for no reason?
my phone just deleted all the contacts and I don't know how to get them back...
Did you have any e-mail account or other sort of sync account set up on the phone that has since signed out, deactivated or was deleted? Android's contact management system is broken down into layers. Contacts can be stored "On device" where Verizon Cloud will back them up. Other contacts will be stored on Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc accounts that are in essence, "Cloud Storage" items. If those accounts sign out or disconnect, the contacts will disappear. To fix, all you need to do is sign back into the account holding your contacts.
Alternatively, consider these contacts as hidden. If you hit your Menu button, there will usually be a Show/Hide Contacts. Make sure there are not any unchecked contact lists that may contain your contacts.

Why did all contacts disappear when I turned on iCloud?
Yesterday I turned on iCloud for my contact info, and when I tried to access my contacts some hours later, discovered that all my contacts disappeared from my iPhone4.
When I turned off iCloud for my contacts (iCloud is still on for other stuff) my contacts immediately reappeared.
What gives?Thanks for the advice, but after this and other hassles, I've decided to not use iCloud in any way. I'm sticking with the old way of syncing my iphone via the cable and iTunes as well. Suits me just fine.
Other than not providing a detailed manual on iOS5 in general, and iCloud in particular, I'm not blaming Apple here. I used to be on top of my Mac and Apple devices, but somewhere along the road I got left behind, and I just don't have the time anymore to catch up, especially when that means doing so by trial and error.
I'm still an avid fanboy of my Apple computer, iPhone and recently Apple TV. I'm sure iCloud is wonderful, but having never successfully used it, I don't miss it.
Thanks again. -
WHY DID MY CONTACTS DISAPPEAR FROM MY IPHONE?
My contacts disappeared from my iPhone and they are not in my iCloud.
i had this problem on my aunt icloud
now she is blaming me
A-K contact all missing
remaining contact is K-Z
seem icloud not that reliable
she will knock my head off if i cant restore his contact,
i try login to icloud.com it also show her contact is half less then she type in
my aunt is a 60yo woman, hope icloud can restore her contact -
It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.
yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

My Contacts disappear for no reason
Have a new iphone4. For no discernible reason my contact list just disappears. When I try to snyc, it wants to delete my address book on my MAC so that it looks like to no non-existent list on the phone. What gives?

Why did my contacts disappear?
When I got to my phone today and opened my messages, there were names anymore, but only numbers...Then I checked my contacts and realized that some of them simply deleted themselves?
no issues with iCloud as such but just upgraded the new iOS 5.0.1 and all contacts gone from iPhones, computers, cloud. . . poof!
patiently waiting for a fix before I resort to my month-old address book backup but at least I have that!
love the cloud. . . poof! everything synched to nothin'!!! -
I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?
Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads. -
My contacts disappeared for no apparent reason. However, all of my contacts (updated even to the last bit) in my Macbook Air are still there. How do bring my contacts back to my phone?
Hi perriejunn!
They might actually be the same Apple ID. When you have an email and use it to log into iCloud it will create an iCloud alias for you. I have an @live.no appleID, which also has an @iCloud.com alias that are otherwise identical.
If you log into applied.apple.com with the @gmail.com account you should see the @iCloud.com as an "alternate" email address.
You might also have created a new iCloud account/Apple ID when you used iCloud the first time. Then this @iCloud.com will not be connected to you @gmail.com address or any other mail addresses. You can then log out of that Apple ID at Settings>iCloud and log in with this @gmail.com Apple ID and sync contacts. -
So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?
If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

Why did my contacts not download to new iphone, everything else did?
why did my contacts not download to my new iphone via itunes ? everything else did. with my favorites only numbers transferred not names.
For the Contacts (I'm waiting my new 5s) I'm using the free App "MyContactsBakup" (or MCBakup), it works just fine on my iPhone 4.
It works for pics too I guess. It is reliable, it process and send a file attached to a mail with all your contacts (pics, etc.). You open the attachment from your iPhone and add all the contacts again.
Easy and effective, I'm happy with this. -
Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.
I didn't even have time to cancel the preorder as that processed a couple minutes before the bundle was posted.
Pre-orders are apparently not worth my time ever again.Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
Why did Apple discontinue iPhoto for iOS?
This app offered great features such as the ability to format your pictures and journal and, add comments and context.
It's disappointing to be forced to migrate away especially when this is a paid app ($4.99). Many other companies may stop supporting paid apps, but at least you can still use the apps.Apple did not say why, so we can only speculate.
But have a look at what has changed in iOS 8. http://www.apple.com/ios/developer/
The basic frameworks, that support image editing apps and any graphics apps have been completely replaced by newer frameworks, for example PhotoKit. Also, the Photos.app and its library are very different, with the Camera Roll being replaced by the "Recent Activity" album.
iPhoto used "Photos" to access all photos on the device and did not them separately. The code would have needed to be completely rewritten. Probably, Apple did not want to develop iPhoto a second time, in addition to the new "Photos", but is relying on the third party developers to supplement Photos with extensions:
PhotoKit
Developers can enable their photo apps to edit photos directly in the Camera Roll without having to import them first.
Photo Editing
Developers can embed their filters and editing tools directly into the Photos app. So you could apply third‑party effects to images without leaving the app where you view your photos. -

Why did I pay $54 for Photoshop Elements 12 only for 30 trial and the opportunity to buy for $99?
Why did I pay $54 for a code? All I got was a 30 day trial and the opportunity to buy Photoshop Elements for $99. I am very upset.
The redemption code is used to get a serial number, which you enter into the trial or download version to activate it. If you're having trouble with the link in your receipt, try the link on this page:

Why did I get charged for the gift card from the student deal with macbook pro?
Why did I get charged for the $100 gift card student deal that came with the macbook pro? I was told that it would be taken credited off my credit card however; that has not happened. Am I missing something? Have other people been charged for this as well?
The same thing happened to me but it made sense.
I ordered a MBPR on Jun 12 for $2879 which qualified for the free student gift card. The gift card was available to ship (delivers June 20 - June 21) but the MBPR wasn't available until a month later (deliverys July 3 - July 10). Instead of holding the gift card until the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $100 for the card then shipped it to me.
About a month later when the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $2779 then shipped it. In the end, I was charged the correct amount $2779 + $100 = $2879.
Why did Apple do this? I suspect that some people have cheated Apple by ordering a Mac to get the promotional gift card then canceled their order after the gift card was spent. Apple is trying to protect itself.
BTW, if you return the mac then you're expected to return the gift card. If you've spent any amount of the card then Apple will deduct this from your refund.
