Contact back-up help
Hi,
Last week i had a big problem with my Nokia N81 8g (screen fracture...phone still worked but couldnt see any screens) I managed to copy the contents of my phone to my pc via My Computer-NokiaPhone Browser-Copy-Paste into a new folder....
I've now been given a new Nokia N82 but have no contacts. which folder contains my saved contacts from my Nokia N81 8g ?
Heres a picture of the files i have:

Thanks

Always you can try to swap folders, but with phone is like with pc, you must install some applications, to they work. There is some applications, which allowe to recover files from backup files, you didn't make such one.
But system files are hidden in phone memory (not in mass storage), to this memory you have not full access even in a USB mode and in those system files are contacts and rest of your private data.
Sorry, maybe someone knows more in this case.
This way, you did, you can copy e.g. pictures, maps, installing versions of applications, videos, music any attachments, everything what acts standalone. Contacts, calendar entries are inner parts of other applications and they are hidden. You can only import to and export from these apps.
I suppose, that after you copy all your files to mass storage you will restore your maps if you downloaded before, they should be in folder Cities, music, images. You have to copy contents to adequate folders on your memory card.

I've lost all my contacts off my phone I synced my I pad with the same account when I deleted the contacts from the I pad it deleted them from my phoneidont have it backed up on a pc how do I get it back
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?
If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person -
My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?
The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?
If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud. If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.

Now when I synced with Facebook it doesn't have any of the phone numbers for the contacts. HELP ME GET MY NUMBERS BACK PLEASE
Are the contacts on your phone to be the same as the contacts in your computer? if yes do following:
In iTunes/Preferences/Devices check the "Prevent iPods.... from syncing automatically".
Connect your iPhone to iTunes by cable or set sync by WiFi on the Summary page.
Then on the Info Page scroll down and check "contacts" under the "Advanced" heading.
Then click "sync" in the right bottom of the page. -
WHILE SYNCHING iPHONE 3 WITH iTUNES.
MY 1700 CONTACTS VANISHED FROM iPHONE AND iTUNES.
I AM RUNNING AROUND TO GET IT RESTORED. ANYONE THERE WHO COULD HELP.
HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I want to restore my iPhone 4s and ONLY put the contacts back on it. Help?
I cant figure out how to do this. I dont want to restore from a backup. How can i ONLY get the contacts back? I tried iCloud, but it wont backup anything, it only says "estimating time remaining." Can someone please help?
Sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer, such as Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook. They will sync with the phone. Once you have synced these contacts, then restore the phone as new, then sync the contacts to the new phone. Problem solved.

please help me.......i forgot my encrypt iphone backup pasword ......now i cant backup my contacts...is there anyway to get password back.....unfortunately i dnt have back on icloud n i need my contacts back ...plz plz plz help me
What happened to your phone that you are trying to restore to a backup that is encrypted? If you have your contacts in iCloud, you can just turn iCloud back on when you get the phone working, if it isn't, and that will bring your contacts back. You won't need to do a restore from an iCloud backup if you were not doing an iCloud backup anyway. If you log into www.icloud.com and look at contacts, what do you see there?

How can I please manage to get my contacts back to my MACBOOK PRO. They are completely disappeared after synchronization under iCloud with my iphone s4. Help is very much appreciated. Thx in advance.
Unfortunately there is obviously no one who could help.
I simply logged in over icloud.com and copied the contacts onto my monitor screen..... :-( Not the best idea, I know, but in fact I can look up my contacts.
someone there with a better help??????????????????? -
I tried to also remove my account# from my daughter's phone so that we could get one assigned to her, but there is no edit prompt, so please tell me how to accomplish this. I really need to get my contacts back if that is possible, which I hope it is.
When you share an iCloud account any synced data such as contacts is merged. Also, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the other. (That's what iCloud does; it syncs changes across your devices so they maintain consistent data.) Unfortunately, you contacts are no longer in iCloud. Your only option is to try restoring your phone to your last backup, which may recover your contacts.
To sort out your iCloud issue, one of the phones need to be migrated to a separate account. On the phone that will be moving, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your daughter's data from your account, and vice versa).
Another thing to avoid is using the same ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. If you do, you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you're doing this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (such as your iCloud ID). Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -
How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing
How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing
I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.
