HT204150 Is there a way to retrieve contacts that have been deleted in iCloud ?

My husband has a iCloud acct and so do I... Some how my contacts were transferred to his iCloud acct. He deleted all my contacts so now I have no contacts. how do I get them back to my IPhone ?

On her device, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting her contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • Is there any way to restore contacts that have been deleted from the icloud website?

    All my contacts were deleted from icloud - no intervention on my end -(I spent hours updating and eliminating duplicates after syncing from MS Outlook and don't look forward to that exercise again) thanks

    Thank you CS, I am using a MBP.
    What I am trying to say is that I still have my contacts in MS Outlook, but are outdated- many duplicates - wrong/incomplete addresses that took quite a while to get in shape and then put in the cloud.
    I still dont know how it was erased (sitting at work one minute no issue then at noon all was gone).
    I am trying to evade the hours needed to clean up my address book again. ( and I have definitely learned my lesson - alwasy keep a backup).

  • Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

    Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

    You posted this in the BlackBerry space, so I am assuming you have a BlackBerry of some sort... if you've used desktop manager or BB Protect or another backup application, then you can retrieve contacts from the most recent backup.
    Otherwise, you may be out of luck, unless their information is in your recent call list, or recent texts.
    I use BB Protect to make automatic backups of my data each week, (with no interaction needed by me, it just happens) so if something goes crazy, I have, at most, a week's worth of new stuff to enter.  BB Desktop manager also makes backups, manually - you need to connect the phone to your computer via USB and make a backup, or restore from a backup.

  • Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

    I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

    Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
    The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
    -- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
    -- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
    But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
    So, what is most valuable to you?
    -- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
    -- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
    If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
    If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
    Of course, you can do a bit of both.
    Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
    Good luck!

    Yest it will restore photos deleted from yur iOd probvide that the photos were taken before the the last synce/backyp was made.  Make syre yu have automatic syncing turned off (Itunes>Preference>Devices>Check the box that says prevent auto syncing when connected).  Otherwise when connected, a backup that reflects the deleted photos will be made and will replace the previous backup.

  • HT201077 Is it possible to retrieve photos that have been photostreamed thru icloud to my mac from my daughter in Europe who has deleted 1000 photos from her ipad that I didn't know I had to save ?

    Is it possible to retrieve 1000 photos that have been photostreamed thru to my mac from my daughter in Europe but not saved on my mac.  These same photos have been deleted from my daughters ipad in Europe ?  

    If the photos have been deleted from Photo Stream, then they are gone unless they have been saved elsewhere. Are they not in the Camera Roll of the iOS device they were taken on?
    Photo Stream is not a permanent storage solution. It stores up to the last 1000 photos taken on an iOS device for a maximum of 30 days.

  • Retrieve messages that have been deleted

    How do you retrieve deleted messages?

    Hi Zaz10Rides,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that some deleted messages on your iPhone have been deleted and you would like to recover them. You can restore from either an iTunes or iCloud backup if you have backed up your iPhone to recover the messages that were on the device when it was backed up. Please use the attached article for more information on the process from restoring from backup.

  • PROBLEM! 1st I synced my iphone to Mac, then deleted photos to make some space, I think I deleted everything from icloud too! Please tell me there is a genius there who can fix this! is there a way to retrieve the photos even after deleted from icloud.

    Hi, I know this is stupid, but without going into the how, I deleted important photos and actually backed up my icloud, so I think they are gone completely! I am furious with my self, is there anyway to retrieve this data from some space even if I have to be charged by apple ... just being hopeful...

    Photo stream photos are not backed up, and when you delete them from one device, they are also deleted from iCloud and your other devices.  If they were in your camera roll when you last back up you device, restoring the backup should recover them.  Otherwise, they are, unfortunately, gone.
    Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't free any storage up in your account.
    You can't really use iCloud to back up your photos.  It's designed to stream them to your devices and share with others, not to back them up.  In fact, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  In order to back up your photos, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Or, if you have a Mac that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled, and you are using iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or later, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import.  This will ensure that your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto library where they will be safe (especially if you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac).

  • TS4036 how torestore contacts that have been deleted

    I lost my phone so i ent an added another line to my account.i switched my number to the new phone.I found my phone a week later and told the verizon sales man to turn my old phone on and activate the new number on the new phone.he did but he didnt clear it out so when i gave the new phone to my employee he had all my contacts and when he deleted contacts ,it deleted from my phone as well.I own a buisness and lost 15 yrs of contacts.can i get them back?

    If you have backed up all these important business contacts at any point in the last 15 years then you can get them back. Just restore from your most recent backup.
    If you haven't made any backups in the last 15 years then they are gone. But presumably you would've protected yourself against losing these contacts in the event of your phone breaking, getting lost or stolen or some other unexpected catastrophe.
