Welcome to the Apple Community.
Use your back up on your mac/PC and re-add your contacts to Address Book or whatever contact software you use.

  • After iCloud sync I lost all contacts from Iphone and iCloud

    I upgraded my iphone4 to ios6.
    All worked.
    After I settings->icloud->contacts on  (backup on icloud is off)
    After a while I noticed that all my contacts are empty.
    Checked on www.icloud.com if my contats were available, but nothing.
    Can I recover my contacts?

    Itunes does not store contacts.
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

  • After recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

    Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.

    WWhat are you syncing your contacts with? A supported application on the computer or cloud service? They should still be there.

  • After downloading Yosemite I lost my contact ion of the 'person' in my email account, how do I get that back?

    After downloading Yosemite I lost the 'person' icon on my email banner with all my listed contacts, how do I get that back?

    Hotmail, but i dont feel it has to do with all their issues they've been having. My wife's Iphone has the page i'm missing and she also has hotmail. I believe it is an In/out going server info or SMTP problem but phone doesn't dispay this info. Thanks for your help by the way.

  • Lost all contacts from iPhone, what to do?, Lost all contacts from iPhone, what to do?

    Dear rep
    I've lost all contacts from my iPhone I've backed it up but still no contacts. What can I do?

    Are you using iCloud to sync Contacts to your iPhone? If not, do you have a backup on iTunes?
    Could you try to explain the issue with more details please.

  • ITUNES on iMac not Syncing Contacts with iPhone

    Problems syncing contacts between iPhone 4S on iOS 7 to my iMAC Address Book (OSX 10.7.5) using iTunes.
    How are conflicts resolved?  There don't seem to be any preferences or settings, but I'm assuming iTunes should pop up with a message when there's a conflict asking which contact to use? 
      New contacts on my iPhone are not syncing over to my computer 
    Note:  I do not use iCloud -- it ruined my contacts and took much time to fix, so I want to just sync my devices with iTunes.  I would like to get rid of all references to iCloud if there were a way!
    This process was much slicker and easier with a Palm Pilot many moons ago!!
    I am asked HERE to select a category under iTunes:  Importing & Burning; Installing/Removing/Upgrading; Podcasting and Radio; or iTunes Store.  MY ISSUE FITS NONE OF THESE!!!  So now I have another question -- where should I be posting my question???

    Hello ascotsgranny,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with contact syncing. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:

  • Lost some contacts in Iphone 4

    I lost some of the contacts in Iphone 4. I'm sure i haven't deleted anything, but i just can't find them. Any idea what could that be?

    Depends on the type of contacts- if they are gmail or yahoo contacts make sure you haven't deleted your email account or changed your password because it is possible that these may no longer sync.
    The same can be said if they are Facebook contacts.
    Do you have iCloud turned on? Or recently turned off?

  • Lost all contacts on iphone 4

    Last thursday my ihone 4 froze all of a sudden (i could not do anything, not even switch it off) for a good 10 min. It was as if it was downloading sthing on its own. When it stopped, ALL my contacts were gone. Everything else was still there, pics, mails, music..etc. Not one single contact left.
    When i got back home i synced it right away to itunes, hoping it would restore all the backed up contacts but it did not. Was that THE mistake i should not have made??!! Did syncing the contact-less iphone erase all the backep up contacts from itunes??
    I then tried to restore from a back up but itunes will only offer me the back up of my very last sync, (tried that and of course still 0 contact left) or some really old back up from 2011!!!
    I do not understand anything, i was syncing my iphone on a very regular basis, totally convinced that was enough to back up anything new onto my computer, and feeling safe that no matter what happened everything was there. Why is itunes not offering my any backup from say a few weeks ago??
    I am one of these people who are not really good with computers, i have asked many people around me for some help already and noone understands what happened or is able to help me in any way.

    STEP 1: Go settings --> Icloud --> Turn Off the contacts button if it is green --> Chose keep on IPhone.
    STEP 2: Go Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Slide down to contacts --> Default Account -- > chose on my Iphone.
    This is how you can prevent such incidents in the future.
    The only Risk is that you need to back up your phone continuously on your Desktop or Laptop so that in case you lose your phone, you can restore your info to another phone from your back up.
    You can also back up your << Back up FIle >> from your Desktop or Laptop on an external USB. ( more secure also):
    Back up the Back up file:
    Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 back up the iPhone files here:
    C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Hope that helped!

  • HT1267 ive synced with my house mates itunes and have lost my contacts and icloud is now his account how do i fix this?

    ive synced my phone to another itunes and have no way of putting my id in to icloud to fix it please help? ive also lost all my contacts!

    What do you mean by "edit icloud accounts"?
    Were you backing up to iCloud?  If you were, just wipe it (Settings>General>Resets>Erase All Content and Settings) and restore it from your iCloud backup.

  • TS3694 I connected my iphone to itunes and i lost my contacts and got all my daughter contact, how do i get my contacts back

    When connected to Itunes, my iphone sync my daughters contacts and i no longer have my contacts. i click restore and it says the firmware isnt compatible. help

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • After installinf ios6 I lost all contacts, I could not get them back so I hit restore. This restored the phone to 4 months back. The phone did not give me the option to restore from the cloud. is there anyway I can now restore from the cloud?

    How many backups are in the cloud? When I installed ios6 it backed up to the cloud, since then I restored the phone trying to regain my contacts. At this point the used the last backup I performed on the computer 5 months ago. I never had the oppertunity to restore from the cloud. Is there anyway I can now restoe from the cloud and would it have the backup that was performed when I installed ios6?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • Lost all contacts today, iphone, mobileme and computer.

    Today, Friday, 1pm I watched contacts disappear from Iphone, also gone on mobile me and from address book. *** All gone.

    In regards to contact info, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
    Although contact info available in your iPhone's address book is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated if needed as the first step during the iTunes sync process, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for this data since other data available on your iPhone is also included with your iPhone's backup.
    You should do as your iPhone is designed and that is sync contact info with a supported application on your computer, and maintain a backup of that data along with all the other important data stored on your computer that is included with your computer's backup.
    With Windows XP and Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007.
    Or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP or the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    Use the iPhone as designed and intended in this regard and you won't have this problem - with your iPhone's backup as a last resort only in regards to this data, which should be available in a supported application on your computer.

  • DOWNLOADED I CLOUD-LOST ALL CONTACTS AND IPHONE WILL ONLY LET ME ADD 38 CONTACTS TOTAL

    Please stop yelling.

    No idea what you mean by that. You can not "download iCloud". It's a cloud service. You can sync with iCloud. You can back up to iCloud, you can restore from iCloud. You can store documents on iCloud. You can not "download" iCloud.
    WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYMORE CONTACTS
    What happens when you try?
