iPhone 4 Contacts Disappeared After Receiving Text Message

Thanks - I've tried most of these, but it's nice to see them all in one place to be certain.

Let's get on the social media.

I am sick and tired of being pushed around from Apple.

I am going Samsung!!!

My iPhone 4 just did this a second time. iOS 5.1.1 isn't that old so Apple doesn't really have any excuse not to support it.

This issue has made up my mind, my next phone is going to be a Samsung.

You can turn off the option to have Facebook interfere/interact with your iPhone. I never selected that option.

I've just lost all my contacts today....for no apparent reason!!! This is consistently happening to most of the people I know who have iphones....Some FEEDBACK APPLE PLEASE....NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!!!

+1. RIP Steve Jobs, this is not the Apple you would have hoped for.

iBackupbot worked for me, too. I was able to pull contacts from my last backup (March 2012) and export them to Excel.

Now, to update the iOS so that this doesn't happen again.

Get rid of icloud. completely.

Get rid of icloud. completely.

Has anyone actually heard back from any Apple employee regarding this? I went into one of the stores and my 5 year old nephew knows more about the iPhone than the "geek squad" there.

See my reply on page 12. So far, I have not encountered the problem again. If you haven't previously "backed up" your iPhone, you may be in a bit of trouble.

i think tge camrls back has officially been broken

Samsung galaxy

here i come

Excellent suggestion from Stn3 above.

Switched off my contacts in iCloud and they all came back.

Cheers

Simple fix for most of these problems!!!!

Open "Contacts."

Press "Groups" button.

Select Show "All Contacts."

There you go!

I think this problem occur because of facebook app, you need to disconnect your Facebook from your contact. that what happen to me and never again after I disconnect them both.
