How can I recover my contacts, lost my phone

Lost my phone and can't figure out how to get my contacts

If you had them synced via iCloud you can use any internet browser and log into https://www.icloud.com and see them there.
If they are there, you can sync them to a computer or to a new iOS device by setting up iCloud on that computer or device: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
If you have backup to iTunes or iCloud you can restore data to a new iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109

    Ok.
    Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
    Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

  • How can i transfer my contact to another phone

    how can i transfer my contacts to another phone? can anyone help, please?

    This can be done via iTunes, iCloud. What other type of phone are you trying to transfer them too? There are other 3rd party programs that can do it. An app called MCBackup will backup your contacts to a text/vcard file and you can email it to another device.

  • I lost all my contact list after i deleted the me accout from my mail list.How can i recover the contact list ?

    Hi, kindly let me know if i can recovered my contact list after i deleted "mobile Me (which has been expired) account form my I-phone list

    The contacts should be available in a supported address book app for syncing contacts with a former MobileMe and now with an iCloud account. This has been in the works for a year and you should have received an email - several emails about MobileMe going away and how to make the switch to a freeiCloud account.

  • How can I recover my contacts and photos?

    Last night I synced my boyfriends iphone4 to my computer. He had no media so basically he just wanted some music on his phone. Everything went smoothly, music, tones & apps all synced successfully. When I gave him his phone he requested that I update his phone to the newest software (ios6) but when I did that an error occurred and the phone went into "standby" mode and i couldnt even turn it on. I disconnected the phone because i had no idea what i did but then reconnected it because i thought it would come back on.. To make a long story short, when the phone turned back on i got a message saying that I had to restore the phone due to the error. Well, I guess i misunderstood what "restore" meant and it was like i had to start from scratch (apple id & password etc) so basically my question is, why when the phone was done restoring did I lose all his personal info? Contacts, photos, calendar dates etc ALL GONE!! And how can I get them back? Also, he now says that he cant access any of his apps like he used to even though theyre all there. It says his password is incorrect but it's exactly the same as before. what's going on? im lost!!! Can someone please please please help me! Im in big trouble!

  • How can I recover ONLY contacts from a backup in iTunes?

    I had to change my company email in my iPhone 4 mail box, in this change I also brought the contacts from the new exchange group, which I though would only bring the email contacts. It happens that it substituted my phone contacts and now I don't have my friends phone number in the contacts anymore. I have a backup in iTunes ( from 2 months ago) and I would like to bring back ONLY my contacts. As long as I know if I bring back a backup it will overwrite everything, messages, pictures... and I don't want that. Is there a way of solving this not using third party software? I found some third party software that could to do what I need, but in order to recover the contacts I need the paid version. I wonder if apple has a solution for this issue. Thanks for any tip!

    a phone backup cannot be used on an ipad.
    if all you want is your contacts, sign in to icloud from the same apple ID you wre using on the phone.

  • How can I add a contact during a phone call

    some times during a phone call the one im taking with give me phone number and i dont have a paper to write down this number to save later, my question is how can I add a phone number during a phone conversation?
    please note that im using iphones with latest update iOS 7.1.2

    While on a call you can use the "add call" or "Contacts" buttons to get to the Contacts app.  You can then add a new contact or add or edit numbers in existing contacts.  (If the keypad is showing, press "hide" to see the other buttons.)  Press the green bar at the top of the screen to return to the phone screen.  If you are not using the headset, you can switch to speakerphone first, so you can talk while doing this.
    If you want to use another app while on the phone, press the home button, then choose the app.  It won't disconnect the call.  If you have a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon) you won't be able to use cellular data while on a call.

  • How can I see a contact's entire phone number when iphone has large text?

    Hi everybody,
    I changed the font on my mom's iphone 5 to a larger size (but not the largest available) so it's easier to read. However, now when trying to view one of her contact's phone numbers, the number cuts off at seven digits and follows with dots, for example "(123) 456-7..."
    Perhaps it's a silly question, but how can I view the entire number without reducing the font size? When I try to select the number it dials the contact. I wouldn't want to cut and paste, or copy it every time just to see the entire number. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!

    The contact in which the photo does appear (along with the contact's name as well) is one that I added myself. I have photos added for many of the people in my Contact List, but neither their photo nor their name appears to me whenever they call or text me.
    I know how to add a photo to a contact's information within my Contact List. I need to know how I can make that photo (or even the contact's name) appear whenever I have an incoming call/text from them. What I am seeing is just their phone number, and I do not know everyone's phone number well enough to recognize from whom I am getting a call/text. It would be much easy if their photo or name appeared instead.
    TYSM for your speedy reply to my query, but the information that you have provided does not solve my issue.

  • How can I recover texts & contacts on iPhone 5c after syncing it with an old iPod touch backup?

    I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.
    I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.
    Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.
    To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.
    I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.
    So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
    This seems pretty hopeless but I thought I'd try. Thank for your help.

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

  • TS4605 Contacts, on another device linked to my iCloud account, were deleted and in turn deleted the contacts on my phone also. How can I recover these contacts?

    I bought a new iPhone5c and downloaded my information to it from my iCloud account. After activating this phone, I gave my daughter my old iPhone4. I did not know that phone was still linked to my iCloud account so when she deleted the contacts on the iPhone4 and replaced them with her own, it did the same to my current iPhone5c. I need to know if/how I can get those contacts back.

    If they were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • How can i recover my contacts?

    Hi everyone, first post!!
    I have a macbook on the latest OS (purchased today) and an iphone 4 on IOS 6
    I dont have iCloud so I backed up my contacts via itunes, it said sync contacts to computer, which I pressed.
    Now all of my contacts have deleted! And I had about 100 so not going to lie, its a bit of a bugger! Any way of getting them back? i only wanted to connect them to my imessage so i could send things from it!
    Any advice would be brilliant, thank you in advance!

    You manually entered every contact one by one?
    No contacts on your computer?
    You are not syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer or over the air on your iPhone with a a free Apple iCloud account or with one of the other free email accounts that support doing the same?

  • How can i get my contacts from my phone into my pc? itunes/excel

    Hi
    I'm pulling my hair out here so would appreciate any help from you kind people!!
    I just want to export the numbers from my iphone 3GS onto my computer, I'm not worried about format or on what program they are stored, its just as a back up in case i were to lose my phone.
    Simplest way possible would be good!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You don't need Outlook to sync contact info but if you have Outlook available, you can access your Hotmail account with Outlook.
    With XP you can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or you can sync contacts only with the address book used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts or Windows Address Book.
    Before syncing contacts with the address book used by Outlook Express - which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, enter one contact in the address book application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
