Hi everybody,
I’ll give you the rundown on my issue here...
My iPhone 4 was synching with my Outlook at work, including all of my ~2000 (very important) contacts, calendar and other stuff. At home I have a MacBook Pro which I use to back up my iPhone every now and then.
I am no longer using my Outlook account at work, so I deleted it from my phone via Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, leaving my phone with just my Gmail personal account. After doing this, ALL of my contacts have completely disappeared. Gone. I tried a restore from back up via iTunes on my laptop but nothing. My contacts in my phone book are completely empty and my "Recents" calls list and my "Messages" are all listed as phone #s and not my contacts first/last names.
Just so everybody knows, I did a search and nothing that came up (similar problems) have fixed this issue.
Does anybody have any ideas whatsoever that may help? If I am unable to retrieve my contacts via restoring from a backup from iTunes, how can I get them back? How could they just disappear without my confirmation?
Any help is appreciated! I need these contacts back before I go back to work next week
