Contacts from laptop onto new phone.

Hi,
Im new to all this and not very good with mobile phones! I had my n95 8g solen and have now got a new n86. I backed up my files from the n95 before it was stolen and was wondering if and how i could transfer my contacts from my laptop to my new phone as it seems to use a different PC suite, i dont really understand this ovi pc suite.
Thanks in advance

It's a bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted (sorry) but I also use my Ovi account to backup, sync and restore my contacts, calender and notes OTA. Just to have a safety net, if you have an account you can get it to send the settings to your phone via txt and then set up a sync (I used it tonight, All my notes had gone, due to a reset and I needed a password)
I use two methods of backup, because in the past I have managed to 'kill' both laptops and phones
Good Luck

How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc?

How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc? They do show up on my Ipad but not in icloud on my pc. Thank you.

If you are trying to do this with iCloud, make sure your Mac is running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, turn Contacts to On, then on your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your account and check Contacts.
If you only want to import a copy of your contacts from your Mac to your phone without using iCloud, do the following:
Open Contacts (Address Book) on your Mac, go to View>Groups.
Click on the All Contacts group, select any contact to the right, thengo to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select them all.
Export to a vCard by going to File>Export>vCard, save this on your desktop.
Send an email to yourself with this file as an attachment.
Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your phone.

Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

Hi, today I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I backed up and synced my data on itunes and icloud. My new iphone however reverted to my 2011 phone settings. how do i get yesterday's settings back and get my contacts and photos from icloud onto new phon

Just to give you a bit more detail. I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5 today. Last night I backed up and synced all my messages, photos and contacts on itunes and icloud. When I connected the new iphone 5 to itunes today, it somehow reverted back to my old phone settings from 2011 :S So now, I have apps, particularly games, that are incomplete. My contacts have numbers that are out of date and I have none of the photos that were taken in the past year. My 2012 messages are gone and old messages from 2011 are there. Now, all my phone data had been regularly stored and synced with itunes and icloud. So why did it revert back to 2011 phone settings and how can I get it to change to the settings that existed last night? Also all my information on icloud, how do I get that onto my new iphone? If I go on www.icloud.com and sign in, all my photos, contacts, mail and messages are there, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new iphone 5. Any help on all of these issues would be appreciated, thanks.

In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

How do I synchronise from iCloud onto new phone

Got a new iPhone 4S today I'd downloaded every thing to I cloud but now can't get it all on to my new phone. Can't get onto my emails and all photos lost help

If you upgraded from an older phone, restore the new phone to the backup of your old phone in order to transfer you data, settings, camera roll photos and videos, music, apps and other media to the new phone. If you are only trying to access the data you are syncing with iCloud, rather than restoring all your settings, etc., just go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn on the data you wish to sync with iCloud (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.). When you enable photo stream you will receive photos added in the last 30 days.

Phone was stolen but can't retrieve contacts from cloud on new phone. Am I out of luck?

My phone was stolen and may not be backed up on the cloud. Are my contacts lost forever?

There are several ways of backing up contacts:
They are included in backups of your phone to iTunes
They are included in backups of your phone to iCloud
You can set up the phone to sync contacts with an app on your computer when you sync the phone with iTunes
You can set up an iCloud account and sync the contacts to iCloud (this is different from backing up)
You can set the phone to sync contacts with your gmail contact list
You can set the phone to sync contacts with an MS Exchange server if you have an account on one.
If you did not do any of these things they are lost.

Hi veganqueen,
If you already have your contacts in iCloud, you should be able to turn it on within the iCloud preference pane, as noted in the article below:
OS X Yosemite: Change iCloud feature settings

"Paired"? I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer. That will not work.
Instead, try one of these two methods:
1. Use iCloud to contain the contacts. Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
2. Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
(This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)
