Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?

No. Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

I just updated to the 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

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.

From backups you made to iCloud and/or iTunes, and items you synced from iTunes originally.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?

All of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

If you made a backup using icloud, then restore your 5 to that backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

HT201272 iv recently restored my iphone 4 and i lost all my music how do i get them back without paying for them again

ive recentley restored my iphone abd lost all my music how can i get them back without paying for them again

Why did you restore without transferring your music to your computer?
If you are in the U.S., then you can use the newly released beta version of the cloud to get your music.

Don't lose them, you only get one download of movies.

HT4968 Changed my iCloud password and have lost all calendar entries, how do I get them back?

I changed my iCloud password while working on my PC desktop and now I have lost all my calendar entries on my iPad and iPhone apart from repeat appointment entered prior to the change to iCloud.
How do I get entries back?

If you backup your iPad, the entries may be in your backup but only the entries as of the date of the last backup will be in there. You can try restoring from a backup which will also restore everything in the backup onto the iPad. You can't just select the calandra entries to be restored.

I've lost all my apps, how do I get them back?

I restored my iPhone trying to get rid of 10.53GB of OTHER hogging my phone, and I restore a back up and all my apps are gone...
Most of these apps were paid for, so I'm wondering:
1- How do I get my apps back?
Or, if I can't get them back,
2- Can I download paid for apps without paying a second time?
Thanks

If for some reason you failed to transfer them to your computer (File>Devices>Trnsfer Purchases), then you would have to redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
