If they were on your device when you last backed up to iCloud, you may be able to recover them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

I had my computer worked on recently. When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes. I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone.

The iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM card. If they were truly on the SIM, re-import them from the SIM.

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

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.

HT4528 Lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

Lost all my phone contacts this afternoon while my phone was charging. How do I get them back? Still have all my emails, messages, FB, Twitter, etc.. My contact list is now empty.

Contacts are stored on your computer or on a compatible cloud based service. so sync them back to the phone

HT204053 I changed my ID account on my IPhone so I could get the ICloud and I lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?

I changed my ID account on my ICloud and lost all my contacts. will they come back when I resync?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by changed your ID. Is it a new account, or did you just change your address under the same account.

HT201272 i have lost all my audio books, how do i get them back

I purchased a load of audio books now they have disapeared, how do i get them back.
Thanks Lee

You will need to restore them from your backup. If you did not make a backup, then you may be out of luck since audiobooks are one of the few items for which redownloading is not possible, but you can contact the iTunes Store, explain the problem, and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.

No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts. How can I get them back? Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple. They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

Have you synced back up to your iTunes account? This happened to me too, and when I synced back up with iTunes, all of my photos were backed up to my iTunes account and loaded back onto my iPhone.

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive? If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column. This will display all images on your computer. Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path". This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

Thanks, Huntress, but it's not in More either. I'm talking about the genius button/atom icon that used to appear in the center/top part of the screen while a song plays in the music player, like in this image (I used to be able to tap the atom icon to create a genius playlist on my iphone):
Now, when I play a song, there is no atom icon/genius button like in the following image. I've already tried tapping where it used to be and it doesn't come back.
