IPhone 4s contacts randomly deleted?
I've had my iPhone 4s since December of 2011 and never had any issues with it. Last Monday, I was out with my friends and wanted to send a picture to one of them and realised that all my messages no longer had contact names. I then went into "contacts" and saw that absolutely every single contact was gone/deleted. I had done nothing. Half an hour beforehand they were all there.
They all just disappeared on their own. Does anyone know why this has happened? I do not sync my phone to a computer or iCloud because I have an extremely old laptop which tends to play up with anything related to Apple. I lost a bunch of phone numbers forever (not that it matters, I never keep in touch with those people anyway) but I just wanted to know why this happened. Is it a virus or what? Other people have said they experienced the same thing. Nobody knows why though.
My sis-in-law had same issue, and i did too a few months ago.i'm not sure what i did to get my contacts back, but i told my SIL to go to Settings -> iCloud -> Contacts. Make sure it is on. If it already is, turn it off then on again.hopefully this works for you because it just did 5 min ago for my SIL.
- Why is my iPhone randomly deleting my contacts? I have an iPhone 4S. Sometimes, my phone will randomly delete my contacts and it's so annoying. I'll go to my recent calls and texts, and the numbers will still show up. It's just the names that are missing. When I go to my list of contacts, it's empty. What's going on and how can I stop this? It's happened like 4 times already and it's getting annoying. I've only had my iPhone since October, so why is it doing this?
- Randomly lost iphone 5s contacts? Today I suddenly lost all of my contacts on my phone. It must've been when I added a couple of new songs to my iPhone. However, all my photos, notes, text messages, reminders, email settings, ect. (iCloud backup stuff) is all there, except for all my contacts, they are gone. Is there any way to fix this? I have a recent backup on my computer that should have all the contacts that I need. (I also have backup(s) on iCloud but my contacts aren't there) Any help will be appreciated
- My music randomly deleted off my iPhone? So I downloaded a new song and went to my library to see if it downloaded and all my music was deleted. Is there something I can do or do I have to download them all manually? (I tried restarting my phone)
- My iPhone randomly deleted All of my pictures and videos? I don't know what to do! I did nothing different. I went into my photos and it said 0 photos and 0 videos yet I had 3,000 photos! Now it's restoring some of them, but it seems to be restoring ones I've deleted a LONG time ago. Why the hell is it doing this? I'm confused. My phones been majorly acting up in general. Maybe it's time for a new phone.
