All contacts appear in messages but not phone. How can get them back on phone?

all 300+ contacts appear in messages but only 52 appear on phone contact list. How can get them back on phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean you have them in iCloud, do you mean you have an iCloud back up, or the contacts are still available at iCloud.com

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

I connected my iphone to the computer to charge it and itunes backed it up with an old version of my ipod so I lost all my photographs. Is there any way I can get them back?

Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

HT4865 I synced my phone, now I do not have my apps or my calendar on my phone. These must be in the cloud--but I can't figure out how to get them back onto phone. Frustrating...

I synced my iphone, now I do not have my apps or my calendar on phone. How do I get them back onto phone? Things were great before sync...

The only way to do so is to start over: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You won't be able to use the backup of your old phone unless you are setting up a new phone.

Some of my contacts have completely vanished? Any ideas how to get them back?

My phone seems to have completely deleted certain number, I wasn't dong anything unusual with it, they were there one min, and the next gone, seems to be more recent number if that helps. Any ideas how to get them back? I haven't tried syncing it or anything yet.

If you backed up your phone to iCloud or iTunes on you computer, restore from the latest backup.

HT201317 My phone was stolen and I lost all my photos. Is there any way I can get them back through iCloud as there were lots over 30 days old?

My iPhone was stolen and I have lost all my photos as some were over 30 days old. Is there anyway I can get these back as they were on iCloud originally but i didn't put them onto my pc! :o( please can somebody help me get these back.

Unfortunately iCloud only stores photos for 30 days, to give all your devices a chance to download them. After this period they are deleted from Photo Stream and can not be retrieved.

My computer crashed and got a new hard drive. I synced my Ipod to the new computer and i lost all my photos. Is there a way i can get them back. I do not know if my cloud worked.??

My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????

- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

I am trying to restore my whatsapp messages that are saved in iCloud but I do not know how to get them back????

I just want to see all my documents and date and everything else i have saved in icloud
i go to icloud.com but i dont see messages or the whatsapp messages that is saved in icloud
how can i do that??

The only way you can restore icloud backup is by restoring icloud backup

Before you do that I would suggest to verify that app designers support that kind of data retreival, by visiting Whatsapp support forums and FAQ.

Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
I would appreciate you help on this issue.

The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
"MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
And thank you for answering my queries.

How do i get my pictures off my cell phone i have a usb cable but not sure how to get them on my pc

please refer to the subject line for my question thank you

Without knowing which phone you have, they all essentially behave the same way when connected to the PC by USB. The phone will be recognized by windows as an external drive. If you get the autoplay windows simply click the drive icon to open it. You can then navigate to the folder with the photos and then just copy them over to the PC hard drive. For instructions more specific to your phone you may want to go to your phone provider's website.

I updated my phone with lastest software. I have lost over 500 pictures. Not all were deleted. Is there a way I can get them back? They are of my new grandson and I am very upset. Also, why is it that most each time I sign in I have to reset my pas

Lost pictures during software update. Can I get them back?
Also why do I have to reset my password almost each time I access my apps?

Whenever you connect iPhone in iTunes, it syncs and a backup is created. Check backup folder if you have that time-stamped file saved.

I just upgraded to Firefox 10 and all my pinned app tabs disappeared. Not sure how to get them back. This did not happened with any previous upgrades.

Was using Firefox 9 before upgrade.
Note that I was using Tab Utilities 1.1.2 which is now disabled because it is not compatible with Firefox 10 (but this utility does not really deal with app tabs anyway).

Please try this: In Firefox, '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''. This opens the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]. Copy the '''sessionstore.js''' and '''sessionstore.bak''' files to another place, '''Exit''' Firefox, delete these two files in the profile folder and copy and rename the '''sessionstore.bak''' to '''sessionstore.js''' from the backup to this folder (profile folder). Start Firefox and please also check '''about:sessionrestore'''. Please note that this may not help if the .bak file's size is smaller than the .js.

Hi - I have recently had a fatal computer crash and lost all my downloads. Is there any way i can get them back?

Is there any way I can get them back - any help greatly appreciated

They would be wherever you put them.
They would only be on your computer if you imported them. You would have selected a program and/or location and imported them as you would with any digital camera.

Hello evanfromvic
If you have a back up in iTunes, you can restore from that back up. The article below will assist with getting that backup restored.

I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!
