HT4859 Accidently deleted some contacts can I retreive them even if I did a backup after I deleted them?

On my apple ID account my family shares I deleted contacts on my iPhone.  I didn't realize they would be deleted on my sons phone.  I deleted all his important contacts.
Is there any way I can retreive them?
I did do a backup on iTunes after I did this ..
Please help
Thanks

Apple states that they maintain up to 3 iCloud backups.  If you've only backed up once since deleting them you may be able to recover your contacts by restoring to an earlier backup.  If your backup is in iTunes rather than iCloud, check iTunes Preferences>Devices to see what backups are available.

  • TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

    I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

    When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account.   In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere.  Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc.  The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up.  You restore the data from the backup.  (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

  • Hi ! I just bought my iPhone 5, but I just can´t erase o edit some contacts can someone help me ?

    Hi ! I just bought my iPhone 5, but I just can´t erase o edit some contacts can someone help me ?

    Hi Friend,
    Reboot your iPhone (press and hold sleep and home button until turns off and appear the Apple logo. Then try it again.
    If the problem persists, check if you have Restrictions on in your iPhone.
    And, how do you insert contacts in your iPhone before? Is your contacts imported from Outlook, email account or something like this? If you have imported contacts from Outlook or email account, it maybe cannot allow you to erase/edit your contacts.
    Hope it helps

  • TS3988 I rcently had to replace my iphone and i lost my pictures that was in photo stream how can i retreive them?

    I recently had to replace my iphone 4s and i lost all of my picture that was stored in photo stream how can I retreive them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Any photos in photostream in the cloud will be returned to the new device when you log into your account and enable photostream, the photos in photostream in the cloud may not mirror the photos in the photostream album on your old phone.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?

    Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
    I'm on a MacBook Pro using OS X version 10.9.5.
    When I attempted to edit a photo in the version I had at the time, I got a message that I must update to iPhoto 9.5.1 to use that function. So I did so. When I reopened iPhoto, all my photos were gone. I looked for them in finder but found none of my photos there in the iPhoto library either.
    My Time Machine backup, directs me back to iPhoto.
    I just want to re-load my photos. Can you help?

    What do you see when you launch iPhoto? How big is your iPhoto library? Where is it located?
    Directions for using Time Machine to restore are at the bottom of this article - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    And note you NEVER use the finder to access your photos - you only access them using the proper tools - How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • Are my iWeb files gone? Can I retreive them?

    Are my iWeb files gone? Can I retreive them?
    I had serveral files up on the server from as far back as my .mac account. Are they gone?

    Read through the link you provided. iWeb was a no go for me. Also I had several items other than HTML files to recover (zips and the like). are they of use via iWeb proceedure you describe?
    Nothing which was stored on your iDisk, including websites, Gallery pictures, or any sort of files, exists any more. I'm not sure what you mean by 'are they of use via iWeb proceedure you describe?' but in any event you cannot retrieve any of these files.
    If you open iWeb does it open to your website or to a blank site? If the former you can upload this as descibed in my page. If the latter you will have to start over from scratch. If you are in the latter case I would recommend not starting anything with iWeb, but finding another program to make your site - one which is still supported. As I mention in my page, RapidWeaver is worth looking at.

  • My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

    But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
    P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • Some contacts can be found by search but don't show in list view

    A few of my contacts (some of them are favorites) don't show up in the list view in my address book just by looking alphabetically. I can search for them using spotlight or the search field at the top of the list and there they are. Why is that? Is it a bug?

    Nah. None of those that I looked through on the first 8 pages or so BUT I checked Address Book on my computer and I have the same quantity of contacts listed on my computer as on the phone under "all groups." So, I went hunting around for the missing contacts and, although the last name starts with "Sw," they were listed at the top of all the "S" contacts. Why? Beats me. Makes NO sense at all. They are listed in proper order on my computer. They are marked as "favorite" contacts, but so are some of my other contacts and this behavior doesn't happen with those.

  • Deleted contacts - can i get them back?

    Where do you keep your back up, iCloud or iTunes.

  • Re-adding contacts, can't find them anymore

    When I accidentally removed some of my Skype contacts and tried to readd them I couldn't find them anymore. I remember their Skype names and Skype ID, but searching their names results in nothing showing up in the directory. Now I am not able to readd them again, and I'm not sure if they will be able to find me again.
    Does anyone found a solution to this problem?

    I have had the same issue, and have had no success in being able to find them again.  It seems that in the newer version of Skype (7.0.XX) once you remove a contact, they no longer exist.  I know that I have the correct Skype name as I can easily find them on my mobile phone, but they don't return anything when trying to search them on my laptop once I had removed them.
    Can anyone offer a solution to find or add contacts back once you have removed them in this latest version of Skype on a laptop/desktop?

  • I have put my iphone simcard into a nokia lumia 520, now I have no contacts etc. How can I retreive them?

    Hi. I have been having problems with my iphone 4s ios 6.?? heating up alot, draining the battery fast. It goes down to about 20% before half the day is over. I still have 4GB left (from a 64GB iphone) and don't have anything functioning, (other than check my emails occasionally and txt). It is also having problems deleting emails. I push edit, then touch the dot next to the emails so I can select which ones to delete, but then the dots all disappear and the editing function goes away. It just goes back to inbox. So I have got a Nokia Lumia phone to try out until I can try and fix those problems. But I have put the sim in it, and now I have no contacts, notes or photos or anything. I backed up my iphone to my itunes on my laptop last night, because I was told to try and do and backup and restore on my iphone 4s, that maybe that would solve the problem. I can't see how it would stop it heating up. So I backed it up, but didn't restore it as I didn't want to wipe everything off my iphone, and it said I had to update to ios 7 in order to restore it. I have read alot of bad stuff about putting ios 7 on iphone 4s, so I don't want to update it. Is there a way I can go to the backup somewhere on my laptop to find all that information? As I had contacts and notes stored on my iphone that I didn't have written down anywhere else, which I need. Now I don't have them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    what I meant about "dont have anything functioning", I didnt mean the phone isn't working. I meant that I have the phone on standby all day. Just use it to check my emails, & fb messenger, thats about it, yet it still drains the battery. I do sync/backup everything to my itunes, most recently was last night. Can I not retreive it somehow so it can be put on the nokia phone? Or so I can at least see the contacts, notes, photos etc on my laptop (wherever the backup data is)? Then just copy it onto the nokia phone? I have also noticed that even going into my facebook messages, it doesnt have the photos that were sent and received whilst I was using my iphone. I thought at least fb would keep them.
    From what I mostly read about updating it, alot of the apps dont properly function with the ios 7, as it is made for the iphone 5. People have written that it slows their phones down alot, and the phones can take minutes to dial a call. I prefer not to take that risk and stuff my phone up. At least at the moment its just overheating, the battery is dying fast, and its not deleting emails sometimes. Hope this is of some help.

  • Some contacts in my iPod are not showing up in Outlook 2003 after synching

    iPod Touch w/ iOS 5. PC with Outlook 2003. After syncing, some of the contacts in the iPod don't show up in Outlook. Any clues? I feel pretty sure I have a setting wrong, but I can't find it!

    It will import all of your exchange contacts.  If any are already in iCloud they would be duplicated and you would have to go to icloud.com and manually delete them.  If you still want to import them, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contests to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to backup the remaining contacts from your exchange account as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (othewise you will see duplicates of all of them).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import your exchange contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.
    At this point all of your contacts should be in iCloud, and you will be syncing them with iCloud rather than your exchange account.  As mentioned, you can go to icloud.com and delete any duplicates if some of your exchange contacts were already in iCloud.

  • Can't Edit Contacts - can't export them to re-import them!

    Hi everyone, 
    After updating my Bold 9700 to OS6 I accidentally synced contacts with Facebook and gmail, causing duplicate entries. Not just a few, but practically every person I know now has 3-7 contacts, and some are even blank. 
    I'd love to be able to A) export contacts, edit them, and re-import them, OR B) just edit them in Dektop Manager. Of course, it looks like neither option is possible. I can get a *.bbb backup file, but I can't find anything that will edit it. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. Why can't I get a CSV or something?
    And yes, I've tried most of the other solutions offered on here, like
    Filters - nope, it's all in the main contact list
    Wipe and re-sync from an address book - Nope, I've added too many people from work and other places by hand that I no longer have one good source for that
    Thanks! 

    aehm, forgot to mention Windows XP SP2

  • Lost some photos can i get them back

    Hi i was trying to tidy up some folders in Lightroom 5 and deleted some i thought were redundant,now when i open iPhoto the thumbnails are there but when i click on the image there is nothing,this is not on all of my photos only on the photos in the folders i deleted.
    I do have time machine on my Mac

    why are you using LR and iPhoto - they do the exact same thin in totally different ways and are not compatible in any way
    And you must NEVER make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using LR, the finder or any other software like cleanup software - doing so will lost data and photos
    the solution is to restore your pack of the iphoto library and of the folders you deleted
    Do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.
