First, always COPY and Paste, not MOVE. <br />
<br />
Second, locate the folders on the PC that do not contain photos and videos and copy them back to the iPhone.

Her phone was full and other attempts she made to copy and remove the files weren't working. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Do you know what folder or what file has the contact info? &nbsp;Or maybe the file extension so I can search for that?
</div>


<div>
You know what folders you moved. Copy back all the folders without photos and videos. I have no way of knowing what you moved in the first place. <br />
<br />
If you have the photos, it may be fastest to do a full reset of the phone and set it up again so that it will work properly.

Thanks! &nbsp;That worked. &nbsp;I had never heard of that method before.

My friend could not get photos to be transferred and removed from her phone. &nbsp;So we connected it to her PC and then Cut and Pasted all of the folders onto a folder in her PC. &nbsp;Now, she cannot search or start a new text with the &quot;new message&quot; box in the top right for texting. &nbsp;She must go to her contacts and click there. &nbsp;The names also do not appear next to the phone numbers within the contacts.<br />
<br />
I thought the folders visible on a PC only contained photos and videos. &nbsp;What folder contains the relevant files that are affecting contacts and texting?

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.
