I was texting someone. A message about my I cloud came up. I closed it real quick. Now all my local contacts are gone. I still have some from the last month or two but the majority are gone. How do I recover this?

It's weird. If I go to text and type Ina name. They come up. But it's like a plus sign and then the number. They aren't in the contact list though.

Apple is forcing you to buy a new phone.

Reboot your phone. It's always the first step in any IT related issue.

After get them back, get the free app My Contacts Backup.

It makes a copy of your contact info and emails it to you. You can pull up the email and import the contacts in about half a second.

Works great for when you get a new phone too.

iPhone 4 is getting pretty old. Probably about time to cut bait.

I upgraded my wife's Iphione 4 to a 6 last week and lost all her notes in the process.

Gone, and not coming back.

I called Apple. They were no help.

I bought recovery software. Did not work.

Fricken Apple.

Were they not in the iCloud backup?

No icloud. She only had the one device and did not require syncing, and never turned icloud on. I backed up the 4 with itunes and restored to the 6 and got no notes. I called apple and they said notes were backed up on icloud, so when I turned on icloud, guess what happens, notes are deleted from the device. She had a older IOS and never got a good backup, I guess.

Is this a common problem? And Apple is never any help?
