I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s.  how do I get them back?

I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back????  I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they?  Why did they go?  How can I get them back?

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

  • Help!!! I deleted all my contacts from my iPhone! How do i get them back?

    I was turning off iCloud on my iPhone and it deleted all of my contacts!!!! How do i get them back!!!!

    Try to do via iCloud:
    settings>icloud>check to see if your signed in or have contacts on, if you do then turn off contats, keep on phone, turn back on, merge and your contacts should show up again.
    Besides, I do like to share you another tutorial recovery iPhone contacts without backup with third-part software, check it here: How to get deleted contacts back from iPhone

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod.  How do I get them back?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased.  I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod.  I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it).  During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync.  I just kept deleting and adding mine.  Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod.  Please help.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

  • HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?

    All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

  • I plugged in my iphone to my mom's computer to charge it and all my pictures loaded onto her computer and erased them from my iphone.  How do I get them back on my iphone

    I plugged in my iphone to my mom's computer for charging and all my pictures are now on her computer and off my iphone.
    How can I get them back?

    Yeah, unless she backs up the iphone to the itunes on her original computer before syncing again. Backing up will create a backup of the camera roll, so this shouldn't be a problem.
    Copied from the OP's post.
    I plugged in my iphone to my mom's computer for charging and all my pictures are now on her computer and off my iphone.
    The photos imported by her Mom's computer were deleted from the Camera Roll after the import process was completed. If she updates her iPhone's backup now, it will be updated with a blank Camera Roll on the iPhone.
    The question was how to get the photos back onto the phone. What I said would have worked.
    And what you provided would have transferred these photos back to her iPhone in the Photo Library preventing her from importing the photos with her computer. And if there are any photos on her iPhone that were transferred from her computer or regardless, the photos transferred from her Mom's computer to her iPhone via the iTunes sync process will be deleted from her iPhone's Photo Library as the first step when selecting to transfer any photos from her computer to her iPhone.

  • TS1474 i updated my ipod touch and now all of my songs are gone. How do i get them back?

    i just updated my ipod and now all of my songs are gone. how do i get them back?

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

  • My daughter put my sim card in and loged into my itunes acount but now she has put her own sim in and deleted my contacts that showed up on her phone and it has deleted all the contacts of my phone too, how can i get them back and stop it happening again.

    My daughter but in my sim card and loged into my iunes account to get apps untill she got her own sim but my contacts appeared on her phone so when she got her own sim she deleted the contacts of her phone it deleted them of mine too. how do i get them back?

    The SIM has nothing to do with that. She used your Apple ID to buy apps/music, thus your contacts that were synched with iCloud got replicated on her phone. Any changes she made got reeplicated on her phone. There is no way to recover the deleted contacts unless you backed up your phone.
    Your daughter needs to get her own Apple ID.

  • I lost all apps after updating to iOS7.1 How do I get them back?

    After updating my iphone4s with iOS7.1 I lost all my apps. How do I get them back?

    All your apps should be in your itunes media library, sync your phone to itunes.
    Or directly from your phone - app store - update - purchase - all or not on this phone - hit the cloud next to the app you want to download.

    They would be wherever you put them.
    They would only be on your computer if you imported them.  You would have selected a program and/or location and imported them as you would with any digital camera.

    You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
    If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

  • I sync'd my Outlook contacts to iCloud and now they're gone from my Outlook contace how do I get them back or use them from iCloud

    I've attempted to send an email from my [email protected] but it won't recognize the group because somewhere as it was syncing it dropped all the members out of the group and I no longer have any of my contacts in my Outlook address book.  How do I get these contacts back into my Outlook address book without individually re-entering them?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

  • I downloaded OSX Lion and lost access to my Microsoft office programs.  How do I get them back?

    I just purchased OSX Lion and downloaded the file.  I now can not access my microsoft office programs.  This is not something I was warned about by the team in the Apple Store at all.  Is there a way to recover these programs? ( Word, Excel, Powerpoint)

    Do you have Office 2004 or earlier? If so, you'll need to upgrade to a more recent version. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application, and requires Rosetta to run on an Intel Mac. Rosetta isn't included in Lion, so Lion won't run PowerPC apps.
    One suggestion I've seen is to put two partitions on your hard drive, with one running Snow Leopard and the other running Lion. Any PowerPC apps would be installed on the Snow Leopard partition, and Universal or Intel apps would be installed on the Lion partition.
    If your version of Office is the Intel version, I don't know what to tell you. Hope this helps.

    I am assuming you never backed up your computer.
    Sounds like you still may have problems with your PC.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/
