Contacts on my I phone is wiped out

I have iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2 and I tired to transfer my contacts to my new MacBook Pro I bought today.
But instead of transferring, My contacts on iPhone has been completely wiped out.
I have more than 200 contacts information that I still use. I tried finding it on i cloud but the i cloud doesn't have them either.
I want my contacts back. What do I do?

Have you backed up your iphone to computer through iTunes? You can retrieve the contacts from iTunes backups if any. Alternatively you can also try this solution, http://www.softwarert.com/recover-lost-iphone-ipad-contacts/ , this tool can scan your phone directly for the lost or deleted data and recover them to computer.

    I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • TS3999 Installed iCloud on phone and wiped out my calender. Want to kill Apple. Can I restore?

    Installed iCloud on phone and wiped out my calender. Want to kill Apple. Can I restore?
    What are my options?
    Thanks,
    Furious

    When I go to do that it comes up with this question
    What would you like to do with previously synced iCloud calendars on your phone?
    Keep on my iPhone
    Delete from my iPhone
    Which do I choose to hopefully not create more headaches and or restore?

  • HT1766 i had to upgrade my software on my I phone and once completed, my phone was wiped out, it tried to restore my info from my backup but now its asking for a password.  I've tried every password I've ever had, but nothing is working?

    Where would i find out what the password was set to?

    Your backup became encrypted.  Keep trying various passwords but unless you successfully enter the correct password, you will not be able to restore your phone from that backup

  • Just did the on line update for 3g phone and wiped out all my songs. I have the songs still on my laptop but now phone won't sync

    How can I get my phone to sync and put the songs back? I also made back up discs but it won't sync.

    Thanks but I solved the problem...it was really simple. Out of 160GB I had only used 34GB, so I knew I had space. What happened was in the process of downloading songs I also downloaded a few episodes of United States of Tara, which was taking a long time to download so even though it said I had 1019 songs the 26 undownloaded were on iCloud, not on my computer. So I paused the downloading of my episodes so my songs could finish downloading. Now my iPod and computer are in sync.
    I don't know how this works so I'll give the points anyway, for being the only one who attempted to solve my problem.

  • Serious problem with the Q10 wiping out all my emails on all email accountson BB & Servers

    having been using the BBQ10 for 10 days now and finally getting use to it and enjoying it.  I have been using BB's for years because I like it for my business.  But I work up today to find ALL my emails on all email accounts wiped out.  All texts and phone logs wiped out.  Ok could live with that BUT because of the new BB10 software that contacts you to  your email servers any changes you make with an email on your BB changes on your computer.  that means that every single emails on all my email accounts contacted to the BB have been deleted.  Saved emails, sent emails, new emails.  Everything.  I spoke with BB and was told they are aware of the problem and are sorry.  but i just lost thousands of dollars worth of orders because of this problem.  Anyone else have this problem?  any help?  
    On my old BB's there was a thing called Blackberry Protection and I had it set up to back up all data everday.  Now the Blackberry Protection on the Q10 and Z10 are for find your phone if you lose it.  It no longer backs up your data.  That is so stupid.  If I still had that I would not have lost all my info.   
    any thoughts or suggestions?  how can I keep the Q10 now if I cant' be sure it won't delete all my data anytime it feels like?

    yes, me too. gave my device back to shop but really loved q10 and would like to buy again when problem is solved. lots of users are reporting about this problem but blackberry dont care.

  • Got my Iphone unlocked recently and now when inserted new sim, all the apps got wiped out, tried syncing it again from itunes but still it isnt getting installed. Can someone help?

    Hi,
    Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
    The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • HT1688 Why does when they upgrade my phone they turn on Icloud stuff I did not have and wiped out my phone contacts, but after it did that it took another back up and I could not get my contacts from backup unless I go back sept , why not incremental back

    recent upgrade I lost all my contacts, I only had icloud for find my phone. My son backs his contacts up to my id, so when the upgrade happen it wipped out my contacts. I had been doing backups on my computer when I plug it in. But the problem is that it overlays the previous backup and after the upgrade it wiped out my phone contacts. So now I lost them and can not recover them. You need a more robust backup for IPhone.... I can not use the cloud because of my work will not let me. I have confidential information or access to it on my phone. I do not like each time I upgrade I lose my contacts and then I can't recover them because the backup runs again and overlays it. Should be a way to get increamental backups at point and time and not overlay everything. So frustrating with my upgrades and constantly losing my contacts. Very insufficent.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • Update to os 4.2 on iPhone 3G crashed phone; wiped out Contacts and more

    Is there ANY way to get my 'Contacts' back without reconstructing from scratch? Updated to iOS 4.2 on my 3G and it completely wiped-out my Contacts; Uninstalled almost all Apps; Removed Photos and Songs. Had done back-up & Sync just before doing 4.2 upgrade. Tried another Sync after the 4.2 install and got Apps & Songs back. Tried a complete reset/restore and got Apps, Songs & Photos but NO Contacts. Even the back-up on my computer seems to have been erased. It did leave the Phone's 'Favorites' but just the numbers; no names or other information. Also tried 'Import contacts from SIM' - program seemed to run but I could not find any 'Contacts' info anywhere. Any help? Any ideas? Thanks, D.

    hi, has any one got any answers to this problem as it has happened to me, is there any where else the phone back info is stored other than library/mobile sync.
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    why dont you put all of your contacts on your sim card ? then if they do get wiped then you can transfer them from your sim to your phone but this is just a way to speed up the process
    Not possible.
    The iPhone does not save contact information on the sim card.

  • My contacts wiped out when another phone was added to account

    Sister got an iphone and wiped out my contacts when her phone was added to the apple acco

        laceyones, that doesn't sound like fun! I have seen this happen before when people share an Apple ID. I would suggest you set your sister up with her own personal Apple ID. In regards to restoring your contacts, restore your contacts from Backup Assistant Plus, if you had them backed up. You could also possibly restore your contacts from your iCloud or iTunes backup.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

  • All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??

    All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.

    There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
    Windoze or Mac?
    Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer?
