Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
If used as designed it is not possible to lose contacts.

When I installed iOS 6 (bad idea,). I lost all pictures. How can I restore them?
Aamunrudassuming you didn't/don't use photostream I need a couple things cleared up first... did you back up your phone before updating to iOS 6 and if you did, was it on a PC or Mac?

Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them
I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts. How can I find them?
There are two likely answers:
1. Your iPhone has too much storage being used. Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
2. If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud). You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now. -
My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?
It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with. -
I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?
I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.

HT4623 When I updated the phone I lost my contacts, how can I get them back?
We updated my husbands phone and all his contacts got erased. Can anyone tell me how to get them back!
The iphone is designed to be sycned to your computer regularly.
The contact will be in whatever program he has chosen to sync. Sync them back to the iphone form there. -
My Iphone was playing up so I turned it off and when I turned it back on again it lost all my contacts-any idea how to retireve them?
If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

I can't recover my bookmarks since my computer was re-imaged. Is there anyway to recover them from Firefox (besides sync as that didn't work)?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back
Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it. -
I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?
Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this? -

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?
As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?
There is an Applescript, File Name to Title, provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo. If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name.
tell application "Photos"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
set counter to 1
set currentfilename to ""
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with im in imageSel
set title to the name of im
if not (exists (title)) then
set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
end if
end repeat
end if
return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
end tell
Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window. Compile and save as an Applescript application. Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing. It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them. -
