Can I restore Contacts on iphone? They disappeared

Can Contacts be restored? Mine have disappeared.

You can restore the contacts by restoring from the latest backup you made, but all other settings and data will be set back to that point in time as well.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Restore contact on iPhone?

Hi Supporter,
How can I restore contact on iphone?
Camaritas

hmm, ok. then guess I'm missing why iCloud is called a backup system. It's basically a synching mechanism in case you need to look something up when you don't have your phone with you.
I just mentioned kids, but it's easy enough for anyone to delete something by mistake. and if that get synched right away to icloud with no version control, what's the use for it besides what I mentioned above unless you just loose your phone. But even then if someone finds it and deletes your contacts that will get synched to iCloud and gets deleted from there as well.
SugarSync works in a similar way (instantaneous synching), but it keeps deleted copies so you can always get it back. I understand that it might take some extra space, so may be it should be limited by number versions kept or days or people would have to pay extra because otherwise it's confusing as it;s really not a Backup system at all...

How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?, How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?

How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories? I have over 4000 contacts and need to organize them as clients, personal, etc. I used to be able to do this in Blackberry but have not found a way to do it with the iPhone.

I don't think that function is possible with IOS. The only thing I see is you can put the company that the contact is with for clients.
there maybe an app that can do that, try doing a search.

Can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

Sort of........I'm going to assume you're a Windows person? When you sync your iPhone, you would direct where you store the iPhone contacts. Again, assuming you're Windows, you have the option to store them in Windows, Yahoo or Google. You do this by opening your iPhone after sync and click Information above, which is where the option to store them in Windows, Google or Yahoo is. Once you've done that, then getting them to your iPad is easy. After you sync your iPad, open it like you did your iPhone and again click the Information tab above and tell iPad where the contact should sync from (Windows, Google or Yahoo).

i cant restore my contacts from computer or icloud ?they disappear when i restore

HI
I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
Before I started I made sure that I had a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
Thanks again - Apple support.

HT4859 can i restore contacts without restoring iphone settings

I think I'm having problems with phone setting when i restore my iphone 4 ios5.1 so i'll like to know if I can restore my contacts without getting the old backup settings back on the phone?

While updating to 2.02 last night, I got the message the the update and firmware install could not be completed and it bricked my phone. After attaching the iphone to my pc several times it said to do a restore. The restore took about 45 min. After the restore it brought back to "Set up Iphone" page with the only options of 1) New Iphone or 2) Restore Name's Iphone and continue. If you hit continue it just does the restore process all over again. I was not able to sync my phone at this point. I finally called support and after an hour online they were about ready to give up. So they finally as a last resort said select "New Iphone" the next page was just a screen as where files will go. But hitting continue brought me to the sync screen and now all is good. Seems like a poor choice on the restore settings page and why didn't Apple tech know this simple fix??

HT204150 Restoring Contacts on iPhone

While editing a contact on my iPhone, every contact disappeared except for my personal contact information. What happened and how do I restore? My contacts on iCloud mirror my iPhone - only my personal infomation is showing.
Help!

Calling Apple support is not going to get them back, unless you have a backup of the phone that you can restore to, then you can restore to that. They would tell you the same thing. They don't have any way to restore your contacts. Were you backing the contacts up elsewhere? What made you believe they would have been in iCloud? Is iCloud how you backup your phone? Do you sync the phone to the computer via iTunes? If so, do you sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer? Are the contacts you see in iCloud any of the ones that you had on your phone, or are they just the ones on your husband's phone?

Can I restore contacts from I tunes deleted by mistake

while having my new I Pad connected to the pc and while synconizing, some of my ontacts were deleted by mistake manually! However, the contacts were available on the IPhone but when I connected the IPhone to the computer, the same contacts were deleted from the IPhone!
Is there away to restore the I Tunes status to retrieve my missing (deleted) contacts?

Contact are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. Do the contacts still exists in that application on the computer or the cloud service (i.e. iCloud, Gmail, Exchange)?
If they do not exist there, then there is nothing to restore.
If you have not been syncing them as designed, you can try restoring the device using a backup created prior to the contacts being deleted to see if that restores them.

How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
Thanks again
Anna

Deleted the contacts from where? The device? the computer? both?
Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer. Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.
