URGENT : Contact list deleted, won't sync back ! ??

[andrewe13]

My contact list has been doing this from time-to-time...

All my contacts would get wiped from my phone out of no where.. my FAVORITES would still be there, but the names would be gone, so now its just a big list of phone numbers !

When I try and sync my address book to iTunes ... it just doesn't do anything ! "SYNC ADDRESS BOOK" is checked, and under advanced at the bottom, "Overwrite contacts on iphone" is checked - Nothing.

When I goto ADDRESS BOOK...

I have three groups - ALL CONTACTS - has everything.... "ALL ON MY MAC" has the 2 that I added in my phone before I synced... so theres just 2 important numbers that are showing up on my phone that synced to my computer... and ALL ICLOUD" has my contact list that iCloud has stored.

If i drag ALL CONTACTS to ALL ON MY MAC, it duplicates everything. I have no option in iTunes to just sync ALL CONTACTS to my iPhone, I feel like its just syncing "ALL ON MY MAC" stuff and i'm kinda stuck here.

Using 4.3.3 (8J2) Jailbroken ..



I need my numbers back !! I don't know what APP i have that is messing w/ my contact list, but I'm trying to do everything to avoid restoring tonight. This happened a few times before, but a simple sync always put my contacts back. ??? PLEASE HELP and thank you in advance !! This is frustrating !!

I had the same happen to me and till this day can't figure out why.

So what did you do "to this day"? are you still w/o contacts?

Well I was lucky enough to upload my contacts from google and some I backed up on iTunes.

the tab for contacts won't come up unless you select the iPhone on the side panel physically...
