Why does my iphone randomly delete new contacts

Over the last month I have noticed that some, maybe all...of the contacts that I have recently added to my address book have disappeared.  I know that I entered them into my phone.  I could even see where the name showed up on my recent's list.  However, when I go back to call or e-mail one of these contacts they are not there and the contact number is on my recent's without a contact name again.  I am not sure what is causing this.  All of my software is up to date.  I am using icloud.  I have an iphone4s, ipad2 and a Samsung laptop.  I have only recently noticed this happening...Please help!

It could be that someone is using FaceTime to call you!  Open the phone application, click on "Recents" on the bottom, and see if that's the case.

  • Why does my iPhone never backup any contacts?

    Any iPhone I have owned has never backed up my contacts so when I restore from backup I have to start from scratch.  Frustrating but why?

    The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer/cloud service.
    You should be syncing your contatcs regularly.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • Why does the iPhone randomly exit out of apps??

    Hello what should I do about my iPhone 4S randomly exiting out of apps? I've held the top and middle buttons at the same time many of times and its not helping! It's still occurring! Help!!!

    An app randomly exiting means that the app has "crashed".  You might have a bad app (try deleting it form your device and re-downloading it).  It might be an app bug which you just happen to be encountering.  It could also be a problem with your iPhone.  You could do a "restore as new" and re-instsall the apps and see if they have the same issues or not.  It they don't, then it was either a bad download, or corruption in your "profile".

  • Why does my iPhone randomly resize images?

    Suddenly I'll have a string of photos that are only 640x480. The only thing I've down is download all of my images via Image Capture but it's random and does not resize all of them. Then I try to redownload them only to find they are small on my iphone too. I only use the apple camera to take these photos and they have not been sent, edited, or opened with any other app.
    I have an iPhone 4s but this has happened on my older phones as well.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 delete music when I press shuffle?

    I am using ios 7.0.2. and have found a new problem that's been driving me crazy!
    When I press the shuffle button, my phone deletes music, between 2 and 10 tracks per time. Any ideas why this is happening and ideas to resolve it?

    Yes, that's the way it works. Once it's plugged in, you can turn it off. There's no harm in leaving it on, however.

  • Why is my iphone 3gs deleting my contacts

    When I Put A Contact In It Just Deletes It It Like It Dissapears.... Can Anyone Help Me...?

    Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

  • Why does my iPod keep deleteing my contacts

    My iPod keeps deleting my contacts

    Does any body else have access to your iCloud account since they can be deleted by going to icloud.com on a computer browser, signing in and deleting them.

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

  • HT4623 Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 with the iOs 6.1.3 update

    Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

    Hey Tigergirl17,
    Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 not have the panorama feature with the new iOS 6 ?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • HT1766 Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    I would guess it is that you do not have enough space.  For what, I have no idea, as you have done little to explain your issue.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, etc., turned off.  Seems to be on reason for this.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!
