Can i retrieve my contacts on my stolen iphone?

is there any one who can help me to retrieve my contacts on my stolen iphone? it got stolen and i just wanted my contacts. is there any way i can retrieve this from my itunes backup without having to connect my iphone via usb? please help!

hi
unofrtunatly not - itunes encrypts its back up file so that it can only be read by the itunes application for data protection reasons - hence the only way you can retrieve them is by restoring your back up from your pc with your copy of itunes onto an iphone. the only way you will retrieve them is if you had itunes sync'd with a 3rd party like outlook which would have backed them up to there instead.
regards,

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

  • Can I retrieve deleted contacts from Address book

    Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

    Have backed up your iPhone with iTunes to a computer? Then you can restore a replacement iPhone from this backup, and this with also restore the camera roll.  The iTunes backups will contain the camera roll.

  • How to recover contacts from a stolen iphone

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

    How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

    If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

    what can i do if i buy a stolen iphone from ebay, can i change in apple with the ticket of ebay?

    You should report the seller to the local authorities and to eBay.  Of course, when you report it to the local authorities, they will probably also hold the stolen property as evidence...  You can provide the police report number to eBay in your filing with them.

  • How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4

    How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4?

    Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
    The following conditions ALL have to be met:
    1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
    2) The device is turned on.
    3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
    4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
    If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
    Frankly in the case of a stolen phone this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts. Tell your carrier to stop service. Go shopping for a new phone.

  • How can I retrieve my picture from my old iPhone to my new iPhone 6

    How can I retrieve my photos from my old iPhone to d new one via iCloud

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.
