Cannot find my contacts list even though I did backup.  Had to restore my 3gs, now I have nothing.

Restored my phone today and now my contacts are gone, even though I had backed up the phone previously.  Anybody know where to find?  they are not in my cloud

If  you've been using your phone as recommended, your contacts should have been synched for safe-keeping to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or to a cloud service (Google, iCloud).
Have you been failing to use your phone as recommended so this type of data loss could be prevented?

  • Backup assistant:  Cannot find online contact list for 2ndary phone

    My wife and I have LG8360's - flip phones - and I have the secondary line. I used backup assistant to back up our contact lists.  I can find her's but not mine.  Is there a trick at log in that I need to do?  We are ditching these and going to smartphones so I would like to get this figured out.  
    Thanks! 

    If you haven't already done so, you need to create a separate log in for the secondary number. Completely log out of the account for the primary number.
    Then click on REGISTER, and put in the secondary number; create a username and password for that number - and you should be good to go. If it tells you the # is already registered, then you are not completely logged out of the primary account.
    Each number needs to have it's own log in to MyVerizon for Backup Assistant, and the Media Store for ringtones, etc.

    Having purchased an itouch 4 and installed itunes 10.5 for my daughter on her laptop i now cannot copy films into movies on itunes. Even though I always did with my itunes and her ipod on my laptop.
    Any thoughts please?

    Have uninstalled then re-installed iTunes and it sees my iPhone but doesn't show the battery state.
    I have rebooted my laptop and, guess what, iPhone is now NOTseen! Who designed this software, an idiot? Oh, I forgot Apple programmers don't know anything about Windows especially Windows 7. I still think this has to do with the differing formats as if there are pictures on the iPhone, Windows sees it as a camera and it is possible to see the pictures in Explorer, so these must be stored in FAT format. Maybe someone needs to design the phone to tell Windows that it's a phone and tells Windows to load the correct drivers. Maybe that's too difficult!

  • Can someone tell me how to delete a number which is stored in my messages list even though i have deleted the text message itself?

    Hi.  Can anyone help me? I am trying to delete a phone number which appears in my Messages list even though i have deleted the text message content it came from.

    Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
    The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
    I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

  • My macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is on and being used by my iphone and my ipad

    My Macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is in use by my iphone and ipad.  I have tried to use diagnostics and it tells me that the router is not switched on, but it is on.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My backed up files from iphone to my mac cannot be seen as they are, but only numbers and letters, they seem to be encrypted even though I did not click on encrypted when backing up

    I am using a Mac Book Air to back up my Iphone 5 on Itunes. What I can see of the files are encrypted even though I did not click on the Encrypt box.
    Please, help.

    Backups of an iPhone made using iTunes are stored in a format that is only meant for use in a restore and are not meant to be accessed directly. There are other methods of transferring things like photos and contacts to your computer such as iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ, and https://www.apple.com/icloud/
    If you absolutely must directly access an iTunes backup there is 3rd party extraction software available such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/
