Sync them back to the device from the supported application on the computer that you are using. That would be either Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook, iCloud or other cloud service. That is done either through iTunes, or iCloud.

    Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone.  If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account.  If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.

  • Hi, recently my Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I have try to restore it and accidentally get everything clear off. I have also notice that my phone is not USB recognized by my laptop before my wifi gone. Is there any ways to restore my contact?

    Hi,
    My Iphone 4S having wifi problem. I also noticed that the USB is not longer recongnized by my laptop anymore.
    I tried to upgrade my IOS6 into 7 hopefully it work...
    Somehow, all data (contacts, sms, photo and etc) were gone after I did that.
    Since my USB and wifi is not function, is there anyway to retrieve my lost contacts?
    For Icloud, is the data retrieve via the phone sim? Phone mac ID? Apple ID? or everything?

    Did you backup your iPhone 4S before to upgrade? If you did, you may recover your contacts from it.

    Or you should use an iPhone recovery software to get your lost contacts back. Please follow the blog's tips to have a try.
    For iCloud, it does not retrieve the phone sim data. It can only restore your backup data. And, if you want to find your Apple ID, you should read this:

  • TS4605 I backed up my Icloud before deleting the information from my PC. When I deleted my contacts from my PC it wiped out my Contacts in Icloud.  I tried restoring from my Icloud backup, but the file is corrupted. Is there a way to restore my contacts

    How can I restore my Icloud contacts  if they all disappeared  from the CLOUD and the backup I made is corrupted?
    Is there a previous version online?

    If you deleted them and they are not in the trash can, and you did not back them up before you deleted them they are gone.

  • All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

    I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
    I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
    Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
    Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
    Thanks

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

    then move the button to show contacts on your phone

  • After clicking "restore" in iTunes, all of my contacts were erased.

    After clicking "restore" in iTunes, all of my contacts were erased. All of my text messages and apps were left alone though. Is there any way I can get them all back?

    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased. The first step is updating the iPhone's backup with a prompt to update the backup or skip the update. Contacts are included with the backup but so is a significant amount of other data. Sounds like there is a problem with the backup in regards to the contact info.
    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air. Apple's iCloud account is one, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail are others.

  • HT1222 does my photos and contacts list erase when i update my iPhone ??

    does my photos and contacts lists erase when i update my iphone (ios update)

    Normally they do not -- but I assume that my photos and contacts can disappear at any time for any reason and act accordingly even when not doing an update. This and other forums have hundreds of posts of lost pictures and lost contacts caused by all sorts of situations and issues.
    In addition to backing up to iCloud or via iTunes, I would recommend that you import the pictures to your computer if you have one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and that you sync your contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts.  However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen.  She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

    Her contacts would be wherever she put them
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

  • All my apps were deleted when i downloaded ios7

    All my apps were deleted when I downloaded the IOS7 update.  I can open them from the apps icon but they do not show up on my screen.  HELP!

    i just answered another question with the same problem...
    anyway, try sync you iphone with itunes
    if that doesn`t work, try retreiving all your shops in itunes (file>dispositives> retrieve your shops) - my itunes is in portuguese, i actually don`t know exactly the words of the menu, but if you try u can find it
    if none of that works, try logging out of your itunes account on your phone... after that log in again, and try to download the apps you have purchased.
    none of that works, try restoring it with a previous backup, if it doesn`t work, do it from scratch!

  • My contacts were lost when updating to ios5.  How do I restore them?  Verizon could not help me.

    I persuaded my wife to upgrade to an iphone from a blackberry last march.  She upgraded to iphone in March of this year.  It has worked fine until the recent ios5 upgrade.  After upgrading, she lost all of her contacts from the iphone.  She is not happy with me, and I'm in need of help in finding a way to restore her contacts.  She has worked with the Verison rep for several hours to no avail.  It sounds like--as part of the problem solving--she was advised to do a hard reset of her iphone.  She did not purchase an extended warranty from Apple, so she has no current warranty.
    Could anyone help me with restoring the lost contacts to iphone caused by the ios5 upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    assuming she had backed up the old iphone to itunes all she needs to do is restore from the back up of the old phone via itunes on the computer.
