Z3 compact contacts deleted after 5.0.2 update.

My Z3 compact recently updated to 5.0.2 and now my contacts have gone.
I'm not sure how they got on my phone in the first place but they magically appeared out of the blue not long after I got the phone.
3 months with no problems before this update.
I have tried force stopping contacts and clearing app with restart but no joy.
Any ideas?

Are you 100% sure that you have synced all your contacts? and checked the contact filters?

ALL contacts deleted after APP updates

Hi
All my contacts were deleted after some applications were updated on my Iphone. How do I restore from my computer backup only the CONTACT information, as my phone has photos which have yet to be backed up onto the computer. I cant backup my phone now as my contact list is empty. Advice anyone?

Golly, you've been a contributor here for a while now, so surely you know that this is a user-to-user community, not a place to YELL at your carrier or BB. I realize you are upset, but YELLING at the kind volunteers who might want to help you may not result in them wanting to help you (if you want help...your post is more of a commentary than a request for help).
Good luck.

All Contacts Deleted After Upgrade to 4.2 and Sync

I just upgraded to iOS 4.2 on my iPhone 4. I have my contacts set to not sync to the computer, instead relying on backups of the phone. After the upgrade I got a text and noticed that the name was not displayed, only the number. When I looked in my phone favorites the names displayed for a split second and then went to numbers. It appears that either the upgrade or the sync deleted every one of my contacts. When I tried to restore from the most recent backup (today) it was the same story, no contact information. I have to restore the phone to the backup before the upgrade, from October.
I don't want to sync the contacts to the computer because it will mess up several of my wife's contacts. Is there a way to import the contacts from the October backup in to today's backup where it mysteriously deleted them? I only have them stored on the phone and in phone backups. Also, shouldn't it warn me if a sync is going to change or remove a significant amount of information stored on the phone?
Thanks in advance...

Seeding as iOS 4.2 is not available to the general public and is a beta problems may occur when installing. Since it is only available to developers, one would assume you're a developer and the dev forum would be the right place to post issues.

Help - All Contacts deleted after deleting mobile me account on iphone.

I don't know what has happened but all my contacts have gone from my iphone. The only thing I am conscious of doing is deleting the trial mobile me account from the iphone following the expiry of the trial period. Is there any backup on my computer to recover these? I can't see anything obvious in iTunes. Is there any other way of getting them back?

If the internet connection to your MobileMe online address book is lost for whatever reason (in this case you cancelled your MobileMe account so there was no longer an internet connection to your MobileMe online address book), the contacts on your iPhone don't disappear. The contacts are cached locally so if your MobileMe online address book is not available for whatever reason, you still have access to the contacts to place a call, send an MMS, etc.
When deleting the account from your iPhone, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe account are deleted from your iPhone - the cache in this situation. When you first turned Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, what happened? If you don't remember, all existing contacts on your iPhone were erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book. After this, the contacts were being kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book but not technically stored locally on your iPhone. When you deleted the account, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe online address book were deleted with the account.
Since all existing contacts on your iPhone were deleted when first turning Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, where did your MobileMe online contacts originate from? Did your MobileMe online contacts originate from the Address Book on your Mac? If not, they should have and should have been kept synchronized between your MobileMe online address book and your iPhone. If so, your contacts should remain in the Address Book on your Mac and you can sync your iPhone direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Contact deleted after synchro

after installing and configuring mail for exchange on E71 handset, on the first synchro all the contacts on the telephone are deleted, I disabled the contact synchro.
Is there a procedure to restaure the contacts on the telephone?
Thanks

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported app on the computer (Outlook, Mail, etc) or a cloud service (Google, iCloud, Exchange). Simply sync them back.
If for some silly reason you've chosen to not use the device as designed, the contacts may be in a previous backup. Simply connect the device to the computer and restore from a previous backup.

All contacts deleted after last sync

After the first sync since I got the new 2.0 update on my iPhone last week, suddenly all my Contacts were gone!! I checked, and the reason was that for some "God knows why" the Address Book of my Mac had lost all of the contacts too. I have got Entourage as well, which is synchronized with the Address Book (had it like that for more than a year, and worked fine, always "syncing" fine between them and with the iPhone). I checked that all the right options, buttons were correctly clicked and still nothing. Restarted the Mac again and the same. Fortunately, I managed to export into a text file the contacts from Entourage and import the txt file to the Address Book and after 5 mins, fine. I have synched my iPhone now and it has got the contacts back again, although I have lost the customizing, like photos for each contact, ringing tone, etc...
What has happened!!
Hopefully is nothing to do with Apple trying to push the MobileMe or something!!!
Has this happened to somebody else too??

Address Book Contacts disappeared after accepting Mac/Intel update

I received a normal update message from Apple this morning for my MacBook. I accepted and the update downloaded and installed. The MacBook rebooted. When it came back, my Address Book was empty. Any advice please?
thanks

Hi,
I saw this happening various times, although not neccessarily connected to software updates...
Close your Address Book with Command+Q (if open). Then in the Finder go to /Users/youruser/Library/Application Support/Address Book
There you will find (among other files):
AddressBook.data
AddressBook.data.beforesave
AddressBook.data.previous
Move the first (.data) to your Desktop and rename the one with ".previous" to AddressBook.data
Now open Address Book. You may have lost recent changes, but should have back most of your addresses. If not, try the same steps as above, but rename the file ".beforesave" to AddressBook.data instead of ".previous"...
If you're done, you can delete AddressBook.data from your Desktop. This was just moved there so that you can rename the other.

Re: Email won't delete after 2.2 software update

Nathan
My email was set up this way already on my iPhone and it didn't fix the "won't delete" problem. Again the issue is that it worked fine in all of the previous versions of the iPhone software, but something has changed in 2.2 that won't allow deletes on the iPhone, even with .mac mail. What has changed?

Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

I lost all my contact list after i deleted the me accout from my mail list.How can i recover the contact list ?

Hi, kindly let me know if i can recovered my contact list after i deleted "mobile Me (which has been expired) account form my I-phone list

The contacts should be available in a supported address book app for syncing contacts with a former MobileMe and now with an iCloud account. This has been in the works for a year and you should have received an email - several emails about MobileMe going away and how to make the switch to a freeiCloud account.

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

Contacts reappear after deleting them (Exchange)!?

Hello everyone,
I'm not entirely sure if the following problem only occurred after upgrading to Yosemite or if it was there before.
However, I recently noticed "contacts" in the Mac contacts app that I didn't save there. They are just email addresses shown as such, without a name or anything.
Those where mostly people I've sent mails to, but didn't bother to save them as an actual contact. Nevertheless, that also happened with email addresses that where already linked to a proper contact. This for example confused FaceTime or Mail. Those apps where not able anymore to relate the mail addresses to the actual contact. After deleting those strange contacts everything was fine for some time, but now they keep coming back. Every time I delete them they show up again a day or two later. I have no idea what triggers that.
I've got two accounts synced with my address book. One being my iCloud account the other one an university Exchange account. Furthermore those contacts don't show up on my iPhone. I also noted that I don't see these contacts when I just choose the iCloud contacts in my address book. So I guess it must have something to do with the Exchange contacts!? I already deleted the account twice and also deleted the relevant library files as well as recent recipients from mail. Still they keep coming back. It's always the same couple of addresses and they don't really have something in common. At least nothing I can see.
It's really annoying. I should mention that I keep the exchange contacts in sync because I can then easily search for people's mail addresses from my university. Furthermore, as far as I know I shouldn't be able to create new contacts on that Exchange account and the contacts in question are not university mail addresses.
Has anyone experienced similar problems or does anyone know where the contacts app pulls those contacts from?
Thank you for your help
