Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database).  And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good.  One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine.  However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore.  Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced.   Again, I may not be remembering correctly.  Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here.  This is an issue faced by many posters.

  • HT1329 Hi All - My hard drive failed and I am trying to move all my music from my ipod to the new hard drive. I am operating on Win 7 64 bit. Can anyone help please?

    Hi All,
    My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
    Thanks

    I used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch.  After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south.  Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to.  You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.

    My ipod tpuch and ipad won't sync with itunes even though they are recognised by my comuter. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but still won't sync. How can i get my equipment to sync with itunes?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • 5th generation 16GB iPod will not sync with nike + can anyone help me?

    after my nano was reseted due to bad functioning, i restore it and now  it can't  send information to nike + , all i now is that the runs are saved in the ipod nano
    and when i try to connect to nike + it say the following: itunes could not connect to nike +The network connection timed out. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connections is active, then try again  

    Hmmm it won't let me check when it is CONNECTED to the puter.
    What? So if you have your iPod plugged into iTunes and you click on it from under the Devices category in the left hand pane of iTunes you should be on the iPod's Summary tab. From there you can navigate to the Podcasts tab where you can set your iPod up to sync podcasts.
    If you are unable to do so, it maybe a good idea to restore your iPod via iTunes. Then, upon setting it up, navigate to this same tab and set your iPod up to sync podcasts however you wish.
    Here is more on syncing Podcasts to your iPod if need be.

    Hi, I recently got an iPad air. Singed in for new registration with cc details as I had no other option
    I already own an iPhone and also my husband owns one. Both have same Apple ID to sync with iCloud
    But after registering for iPad all my free apps are asking me to purchase those free apps. I have no idea what went
    Wrong, please help.

    You created the same Apple ID with the setup assistant on the new iPad Air - the same Apple ID used for the iTunes and App Store on your iPhone?
    There is no charge for a free app regardless.

  • I just got the iPhone 5.  It's completely synced and working.  All my contacts are loaded.  However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text.  Can anyone help me out with this?

    Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs.  See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
    One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings.  Then restore from the backup you just made.  That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
    But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

    Uggh, it's so frustrating! I've googled every search phrase I can think of and this seems to be the only thread describing this exact issue. I'm always automatically logged into Facebook on my MBP but just to be sure I logged out and back in and it worked fine.
    I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the Droid I had preceding this iPhone, and from what I hear the iPhone app for FB is a thousand times better - not that I'd know personally because I can't log in!! - but I could always access my FB account on the droid. Just sayin...

  • I have a PowerBook G4 17" and need Apple discs to set it up again. Mine lost during move. Screen seems damaged, has vertical lines.  Can anyone help. I can call as I have unlimited calling on my iPhone 6  anywhere in North America.

    I have a PowerBook G4 17" and need Apple discs to set it up again. Mine lost during move. Screen seems damaged, has vertical lines.  Can anyone help. I can call as I have unlimited calling on my iPhone 6  anywhere in North America.

    king,
    If your Powerbook's serial number (do not post it here) starts with "W8" then the vertical lines are mostly likely due to a defect in the display itself. W8 is a factory code and, during the iMac G5 and PowerBook G4 timespan, that factory shipped thousands of units with the same defect. It cannot be fixed via software.
    As all PowerBooks are now classed as "obsolete," an Apple Store will not work on it. They will look at it ands tell you it has vertical lines and that they cannot fix it. This Apple article shows Apple devices they curently considered obsolete:
    Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
    It is possible that some Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASP) will still work on older computes but they cannot get neededparts from Apple. As this issue was so pervassive, it wil be hard for you or an AASP to find a used/pulled display that is not effected with the "W8 Curse."
    Although I love the old PowerBooks, I would not even spent the money for disks, much less the US$150-400 it would cost to replace the display, even should one be available.
    If you give us a rough idea of where you are in the world, we can suggest repair shops specializing in fixing older Mac notebooks, but be aware those resources may be rather scare outside North America.

  • Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll  It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

    Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll  It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

    Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.

    The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date
