Why have my contacts on my iphone diappeared?

I used contacts on my iphone yesterday am and everything was fine. I tried to access them later in the day and they were gone totally. Why?

Don't know why. I haven't experienced the same in nearly 6 years of iPhone use.  
Are you syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with an email account that supports it such as with an Apple iCloud account, a Gmail or Yahoo account, or with a company Exchange account?

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • I have more contacts on my iPhone than Outlook

    I have 479 contacts on my iPhone (some are duplicates) and 450 in my Outlook contacts.  I would very much like the 29 that are on my iPhone to be in Outlook.  I have sync'd multiple times and cannot seem to resolve this.  I've noticed the "Replace information on this iPhone" option; but that's going the wrong direction.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey toddpay!
    You can use this application to sync your iCloud contacts on your phone into Outlook on your computer:
    iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • TS4147 I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are no duplicates in ICloud or in Outlook.  Can I just delete the iCloud account on my phone and then let it refresh my contacts?

    I have duplicate contacts on my iPhone, but there are not duplicates in Outlook on my PC or in iCloud.  Can I just remove my iCloud on my account and recreate it so that the contacts refresh?

    Be sure that you don't have syncing turned on in iTunes, otherwise you'll get data from both iCloud and the iTunes connection.

    Hi Kinnera2740,
    On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  Are there any email accounts listed here?  Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
    If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option.  If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
    Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option.  Is it enabled?  If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well.  You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner.  You may see several groups here.  Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account.  You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone.

    Backup then restore the device...
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I have 200 contacts on my iPhone and iPad to remove How do I do it?

    I have 200 contacts on my iPhone and iPad to remove How do I do it?

    You want all contacts on each device deleted, or you have more than 200 contacts on each device and want only 200 out of XXX contacts deleted?
    If the latter, delete the contacts from the address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts followed by a sync with each device.

  • Why do my contacts disappear (using iphone 4s)?

    Why do my contacts keep disappearing!  I use ICloud to save my contacts but I have Verizon wireless backup.  Could these two interfere with each other and make random contacts disappear??
    The only thing in common on the contacts that I have noticed is that I have not used them recently.
    Help! 

    This happens because when you sync them with iCloud they are moved from your phone to the iCloud server.  If you turn off iCloud you are disconnecting your device from the server so it can no longer access your contacts (or other iCloud data).
    If you no longer want to sync your contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone.  That will keep a copy of your contact on your phone.

  • How can I have unified contacts across outlook, iphone and gmail?

    I am new to iPhone and cannot seem to get something that I really enjoyed on my blackberry, unified contacts across all three platforms.  I use Outlook for work and Gmail for personal.  I had it set up on my blackberry that I had one set of contacts, not separated by outlook or gmail.  The goal was to have the same set of contacts in all three places.  Any changes made in any place, outlook, gmail, or blackberry, was reflected in all three places. 
    Is there a way to do this on the iPhone?  I had set up my iPhone to sync with gmail and outlook, but it created two sets of contacts, so when I searched for a person, it would show two or more records.  I just want one contact list.  Is there a way to turn off the contact seperation and just have one list?  I just want to be able to make a change in any of the three places and have it reflected across all three. 
    I have both work and gmail set up via exchange for push email and syncing.

    The contacts had to be separated on your Blackberry but were viewed as combined, which is possible with the iPhone's Contacts app.
    With my iPhone, I sync business contacts over the air with my company Exchange account, and I sync personal contacts over the air with iCloud account - former MobileMe account. My personal iCloud contacts are also synced with the Address Book on my Mac and I would be doing the same with my Exchange business contacts but we aren't using a compatible Exchange Server software in order for me to do that. If I was doing so, my business contscts and my personal contacts would be separated in the Address Book on my Mac and I would have the ability to view business and personal contacts combined or separately as I can with my business and personal contacts on my iPhone.
    Does Outlook support syncing your Gmail online contacts so your personal contacts would be kept synchronized between the three - Outlook, Google online address book, and your iPhone?
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with your iPhone and syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, the contacts will be duplicated on your iPhone - one set stored locally, and one set stored in the online address book for the email account.

  • Why have my playlists on my iPhone disappeared?

    Why have my iTunes playlists on my iPhone disappeared even though they appear when I connect the phone to iTunes on my laptop? I do not seem to be able to retrieve or reinstall them. I normally manage my music manually.  Even recent CDs I imported which are showing up on iTunes on the laptop are not appearing on the iPhone.  What am I doing wrong?  I'm using the most recent versions of iTunes and OS software on laptop and iPhone.

    Jim....
    Thanks for the help.  However, I am afraid that this didn't change the problem.
    I replaced the "iTunes Library.itl" file and still my playlists are gone.
