I have an iPhone 4S and while upgrading to OS 8.3, I noticed that all my contacts are gone. Can I connect to my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.3 and transfer contacts directly onto my phone?

Hey there denise.ca,
I see that you have a question about one of the functions of USB syncing. To answer your question, yes, you can sync contacts from your computer to your iPhone using USB syncing and iTunes:
Info: Sync your contacts and calendars.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I backed up my iphone to my itunes account and now all my contacts are gone can I get them back?

I backed my Iphone up to my new Itunes account and I have lost all my contacts. Please tell me there is a way I can get them back?

Check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
This is what it says under "iTunes will back up the following information":
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
Sounds like you may have experienced some of the "contact data loss". I suggest using iCloud in the future.

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.

All my contacts are gone. Any help on retrieving them?

All my contacts are gone from my I Pad. Any help on retrieving them

Have you tried toggling contacts off and back on again? Anything trickle in, thereafter?
If not, restore from your iCloud backup. Go to settings/general/reset/ erase all content and settings. When prompted on how to setup the device, select the iCloud backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Good luck!

While synching iPhone, box popped up and said changes will be made to my contacts. If I didnt allow change, it wasnt going to continue to sync. Now half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes contacts. Any way I can get mine back?

While synching my iPhone, a box popped up and said that so many of my contacts are going to change. That happened before and my contacts and my wifes contacts ended up in each others phones. So we just had to go through and delete the ones we didnt want. When I did it this time, half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes. Any way I can get my contacts back?

You should have been sycning them with your computer all along. Sync them from your computer back to the iphone.

I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

if there is a compatability between the app and newer versions of the ios then likely the developer if he/she knows about it will release an update fixing the issue
but of cause the developer has to know about it so maybe you should inform the developer about the issue and wait for a fix

Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
This is very disturbing.
What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

I upgraded the iphone software to 4.2.8 and none of the purchased apps would open. I then restored the software and now all those apps are GONE. How do I get them back?

When selecting to sync contacts with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, if the supported address book application on your computer is empty, all contacts on the iPhone will be erased first.
If there are contacts available in the supported address book app on your computer and your iPhone includes contacts, you are provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data on a new or different computer which you want to select.
Were you syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your former computer? If so, transfer your contact info from that address book to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on the new computer. This should have been done first.

You can not do so. 4.2.1 is the end of the line for the 3G. You will have to access it using Safari or get a new phone.

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.
