How can I restore my contact list after updating it to iOS 7

I have updated my iPhone 4s to io7 and all of a sudden my contact list got replaced by someone else contact list. How can i restore my contact list

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

  • HT1414 How can I get my contacts back after update 5.1.1? I've tried everything

    After updating my Iphone 4 to the 5.1.1 version all my contacts are now gone. Ive tried restore and all the tricks everyone suggests. What else can I do?
    Thanks!

    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data as contacts.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
    Contacts can also be synced over the air with an email account that supports this, and there are a number of free accounts that do including an Apple iCloud account, a Gmail account, a Yahoo account, and a Hotmail account.   If you have tried all the tricks everyone suggests and your contacts are not available anywhere else, they are gone.

  • How can I restore my settings, etc. after update to Firefox 20 reset everything?

    Windows 7 Starter, Firefox 20; running from non-administrator account (possibly the cause of issues):
    I updated to Firefox 20, and everything was reset (i.e. homepage, bookmarks, passwords, addons).
    I searched online for solutions but it hasn't helped me (i.e. Profile Manager).
    I located the profiles folder, and it contains one folder called: shunltlp.default
    the folder seems to have all the necessary files, e.g. bookmarks, key3, etc.
    How can I get Firefox to use these files, and restore my settings, etc.?
    Thanks,
    Davoid.

    Hi cor-el,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had been to that page during my search for solutions but found it a bit confusing, although I did create a new profile but didn't understand the choose folder part.
    I re-read the instructions and I have been able to restore my old profile.
    So, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Re: running my Firefox from a non-administrator account
    I think this may have been the cause of the profile problem.
    I.e. when I selected 'Choose a folder' when creating the new profile, the default folder path was Administrator> etc., where as my old profile was not there, but in Username> etc. folder path...
    I understand browsing from a non-administrator account is the sensible security option, but is causes other problems when installing updates...
    Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
    Davoid.

    Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

  • How can i restore the contacts that were on my iphone before i synched?

    I have accidentally deleted my entire contact list/address book from my iphone while synching my iphone to the computer. It has been replaced with all contacts from other users that synch to this computer. How can I restore the contacts I created on my phone?

    I pop up in these forums perhaps 3-4 times a year since about 10 years ago. How disappointing. It seems that all the forums here are mainly quite useless. Many have like 900 views and only 3-4 replies; and these replies more often than not, are people sharing the same problem Actual solutions are hard to find. Shouldn't Apple be embarrassed about this and perhaps do something about it. Consider this one as an example. It has
    893 Views  and only4 Replies. Out of these 4 replies opnly 1 is actually a possible answer/solution, which unfortunately (as in many otgher cases) does not provide the solution needed.

  • How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

    How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

    There are no "shortcuts" on the iPhone so I'm guessing you mean you've mislaid the Contacts app. By default, it's in the Utilities folder. If it's not there, look in all the other folders and home screens. Once you find it, you can move it anyhere you want by tapping and holding it until it wiggles, that dragging it to your preferred location.
    If you want to reset all of your icons back to the default layout, Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. After you do that, it will be once again in the Utilities folder.
    Note: You can also access Contacts through the Phone app.

  • Help!!! My husband by accident synced his account under my account and has merged all of our contacts.  In the process of fixing the mixup has deleted contacts on both phones.  How do I restore the contact list from the original contact list.

    I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
    VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
    1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
    2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

  • How can I move my contact list to new ID account and question about updating iOS

    How can I move my contact list to new ID account?
    And should I update my iOS system ?

    Hello Godde
    Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

    I'm new to ipod touch, 4g. My questions is how can I download a contact list other than through facebook or yahoo or gmail?

    You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.
    Just where do you want to get/sync the contacts?

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT1414 How can I restore my CONTACTS from the icloud

    How can I restore my CONTACTS from iCloud ??

    You re-sync them by setting up your iCloud account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and turning on the 'contact sync', assuming that's what you were syncing them with before.  If you were not syncing them with iCloud (syncing is NOT the same as backing up), then you will have to re-sync them from whatever you were syncing them with.

  • How can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    how can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    Oscar, keep in mind that my suggestion could not be the best one.
    I have a copy of Nokia suite on my Windows XP partition on my Mac, just to test it.
    The second icon on the upper row explains as a syncronisation with Outlook.
    Try to do it and later you should use the iClod manager from Apple and Sync Outlook to ìiClod and to any iPhone iPod and so on.
