IPhone :: After Upgrading Ios5 On 4 Contacts Disappeared
May 31, 2012
Yesturday I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5. When it was done and my phone turned on none of my apps were able to start, the only apps that worked was 'safari' 'messages' and the other apps that came with the phone. After an hour or so my apps started working by them selves but thats when i discoverd that all my contacts were gone. I've been checking out my safty backup that is on my computer (pc) but if i restore my phone the ios5 upgrade will be lost and I would have to re do it with the risk of even worse result. how do i restore my contacts? I disconnected icloud from my phone and want to sync it with my computer but outlook is not an available option to sync with. The default setting is to sync with windows contacts. But when I did that it just created an empty contact with my name and picture of a flower. I also have the option to sync with google contacts and yahoo adress book but if I change there is an error message that says that it will affect all units connected to windows contacts so I don't know if I should change or not. I also tried to create a random contact but no contacts came back, the only thing that happend was that my pictures for the dissapered contacts automaticly ended up as picture for the new contact.

I am a T-mobile customer and I have a iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 (9B176), firmware 04.12.01.
The iPhone was originally locked to ATT but in April 2012 I requested the official ATT unlock. The phone is now unlocked and works well with T-mobile.
If I upgrade from iOS5.1 to iOS5.1.1 will I loose the unlock? Does anyone has firsthand experience?

I have just upgraded from 3GS to 4S. I have been using iCloud on the 3GS for some time now. I synced my old phone the synced my new phone. But both my camera roll & photo stream are empty. Is there anything I can do to retrieve these photos as they are very important to me as I have just recently lost my Mum & Brother & most of the photos were of them. I thought they would be safe backed up on iTunes & iCloud but I cannot find them.

I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS4 to iOS5.1 last night while connected to iTunes. My contacts list became empty when the phone came back on.
I already tried to retrieve the contacts through the following methods:Open a recent Text Message, tap "Contact" and edit.Turn off and on icloud.Import from SIM.Reset the phone and re-sync.Restore from backup. All previous backups from iOS4 are inaccessible.I do not have the contacts list backed up on Windows/Outlook/Google/etc. I was naive to put my trust in Apple.
The contacts are not on icloud.com either.
This is utterly ridiculous. There was no warning about losing contacts. I followed the directions on iTunes and on the phone. My phone is NOT jailbroken. It's Apple hardware and Apple software, I do not see how this happened other than because of a fault on Apple's part. After months of complaints from consumers, there was no warning or fix to this problem that has been well known to Apple. I already wasted more than 4 hours trying to find a way to get the contacts list back to no avail.
Is there a way to get my contacts back or are they lost forever?

When restarted my computer and reconnects my iPhone, it now prompts saying that iPhone in recovery mode and I must restore before it can be used with iTunes. I am very sure there's 2 backup copies in my (default designated) computer folder, with one being dated 12Mar (the day of updating). I browsed the computer folder while waiting for the downloads in iTunes.
However the backup folder is now empty!! and I can't restore to any previous backup, and my phone cannot be turn on. The iTunes restore button asked if I wanted to restore to original factory settings. How could this happen?!! My Recycle bin has this item "iPhone3,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ipsw".
How can I retreive my previous phone backup, or just return to iOS5.0.1 with its data prior to the 5.1?

After upgrading my Xperia X10 mini pro all my notes disappeared even though I did a back-up. I had(hopefully still have somewhere) a lot of important information stored there. This topic has already been issued at this as well as other forums, without any reasonable solution. My notes were stored in Notes which is an original feature of the phones software. Is it really impossible to retrieve them anyhow? Aren't there a way to wind time backwards and undo the upgrade? Where and in which format Notes files information is stored? Are they saved at the SD card?

I changed my primary email for my apple id and installed find my friends. I configured iCloud and mid text, all my contact names disappeared. In iCloud.com I have no contacts, on my phone I have no contacts, and I did not back up anywhere.

My wife's icon for her Contacts is not on her home screen. She didn't make any folders, so it's not there. When she "Search iPhone" and type "Contacts", the app appears and she can add/edit contacts that way. Where did it go?

I've lost all my contacts for the last 2 years. Any way to get them back? I saw several questions saying this was caused by iCloud but i had no chance to register if it is not created automatically. I used the one (just forgot how it was called - the one that syncs all apple products and which was inactivated in a few days) - maybe it is because of this? But i dont think - it should not be this.

i keep not being able to find my contacts when i scroll through the list but they would come up when i search. to try and fix this i went into the menu and changed the sort order to first name first as it was surname first. it has now deleted most of my contacts, leaving mostly only the ones that do not contain phone numbers (i think my gmail ones) and i cant find a way of getting them back. Strangely, at first some still came up when i searched but now (i'm not sure what i did in the process of trying to fix it) now there is definitely nothing there. I had not yet set up icloud so they are not stored there but may be in an old google account from my old phone which isnt showing up even though gmail is set to sync.
