Contacts disappeared, but available in Messages?

Late last fall, I realized that all my contacts disappeared from my iPhone 6. I had done a backup before a trip and all my music, photos, everything was still fine but I realized once I got to my destination that all contacts were missing in the Contacts menu when you click on the phone icon.

Here's the confusing part - if I go to my Messages and open a new message, I can type the name of whoever I'm eager to get my hands on and their information displayed always up there, so of course, the coordinates are stored on my phone somewhere. So if I want to call them I just open a message, then click on their name to access their information and then to place a phone call. But of course, it is a roundabout way much more than just find in the Contacts menu.

I don't know if I've changed a setting or done something when you back up my phone, or how it happened, but I hope someone here will know how can I restore the contacts on my Contacts page! I'm not sure if restoring from a previous backup will work as this happened if long ago and I don't want to ruin all my photos and music if I can avoid it.

I saw an article online that suggested to create new contacts, based on the mail page, I can access the information there, but it would be a painful process. I can certainly do that if it's my only option, but I'm puzzled why the contacts do not appear in the mail and not in the Contacts menu.

Thank you very much for the help!

It seems that the contacts are hiding in iCloud and contacts for iCloud, on the device is off.

Settings > iCloud > Contacts > Toggle on

  • In some ways, enter no sign has been added next to contact, now all messages previously received messages have disappeared and no new messages from this sender will appear.

    I received messages from this sender end and then all of a sudden for some reason there was a do not enter sign next to its name. I knew not how or why it got there, some button hit or mouse and I did not know how to remove it so I just left. Since then, thunderbird has been reopened and all the messages I had received disappeared and no new messages from this sender appear even though I know she sent them to me. I checked the filters and I don't put so it isn't that.

  • some of my contacts disappeared from my list of contacts, but can still be found for texting

    Hello

    I don't know how and why, but some (most) of my contacts (even those favourite) disappeared from my contacts. BUT I can't get them when I write a text (sms). Contacts have a blue 'i' next to them when I want to the text.

    If anyone can help get each of them to the main database of Contacts?

    Thanks in advance!

  • My messages are disappearing, but aren't my partner

    If I talk with a friend on Skype, and the messages I send are endangered on my end, but my friend messages are not. He sees them very well, but I can't - and looks like he's talking to himself on my end.

    This is not past in conversations with someone else, oddly enough - only this contact.

    How is - a workaround?

    Updated / restarted Skype and message reappeared. Is no longer a problem, sorry.

  • iCloud Contacts disappear from Oultllo after updates

    After I have updated recently iCloud and Windows 10 (update of the anniversary) my iCloud Contacts disappeared from Outlook 2007, giving the following message appears in Outlook by clicking Contacts iCloud: "failed to open all the files. The information store could not be opened. "When clicking on tools-address book in Outlook, the following message appears:"unable to display the list of addresses. The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened. It may have been deleted or you do not have permissions.

    Everything worked fine before the update and the address list is in my iCloud contact account and is accessible by my iPhone.

    I tried to export a vCard in iCloud for import in Outlook by going to the Menu Action to iCloud and selecting 'Select all' and then 'export vCard', but no window never opens in which name and save the file.

    As a last resort, I could probably restore the old file of Contacts if I knew where she stood in Outlook.

    I tried many suggestions but nothing worked. Someone has any idea how to restore the iCloud Contacts file in Outlook?

    Thank you

    See if it helps, - the set of folders could not be opened. The information store could not be opened.

    1. make sure that the information entered in the transmission & reception area in settings - Messages is correct

    2. If so - settings - Messages - switch off

    Log settings - iCloud

    Do a forced reboot - after all open applications using the app Chooser - invoked by fast double pressing the home button and drag upwards on each app until it disappears from the screen.

    Meet the sleep/wake and home buttons down until you see the logo  - then release and allow normal start upward

We can try to help you get the server settings appropriate if you let us know who provides your email address and what program you use as an email client.

  • My emails are quadruplicating themselves. When I remove them, they disappear, but when I press send/receive back

    I use Outlook express for e-mail. Someone had a problem with the duplication of emails or their refusal to stay deleted?

    The other post:

    My emails are quadruplicating themselves. When I remove them, they disappear, but return when I press send/receive. I tried to mark them as read, and then delete them, but have had no success. What is the answer, please?

    Poster PA bear MS MVP on another post:

    Assuming that Outlook Express (which has nothing to do with Internet Explorer):

    1. move all the messages that you want to keep out of sent items anddeleted items folders and in other local OE folders have created you for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (cf.http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3.-online close Outlook Express! <>

    4. in Windows Explorer [Windows key + E], access your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline". More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application. It can cause this corruption (as well as loss of messages) and offers noadditional protection:

  • 8250 incorrect "date of expiration" and "Empty cartridge" message. Ink replaced but still the message.

    I got the expired cartridge message on my Photosmart 8250 for a year or two, for 2 cartridges, even if the cartridges were of the date. Remove one of the offending cartridges and replace immediately seem to do the sorting.  Problem is one of the "expired" cartridges, Magenta, has finally shown as empty and reinstated. I get now both the message expired and the empty cartridge (for all new Magenta). The watch also still message has expired for the cartridge else I have to say is now quite old, but still has a lot of ink in it.

    I gritted my teeth and to purchase 2 cartridges of spare yesterday, one to replace the old "expired" clear cyan and the other to replace magenta of replacement. The clear cyan expired message disappeared but the message re magenta is still show it as being expired, even if the dates printed on the two new magenta cartridges is 2014. I always get the message empty cartridge for both the first replacement magenta cartridge that I bought a few days ago, as well as for the second replacement I bought yesterday.

    I have tried everything I can find mentioned in this forum to solve this problem, but have had no success. I have to assume that the printer has failed, or is there a fix for this problem?

    If you have another cartridge, which could remove the error. You do not have to throw away your existing criteria, just put them in a ziplock bag in plastic and place them in a cool, wet - spot like a refrigerator. Change the cartridges and see if this removes the error message.

    If you can try that let me know and I'll be right back with you!

    Have a wonderful day!
