How can I retrieve my phone contacts? I lost them when I upgraded to IOS 8.2

I upgraded to IOS 8.2 and now have only Facebook Contacts on my phone. All other phone contacts are gone. And, I can no longer "add" new contacts as the + sign no longer appears in the top right corner of my contact screen. Need advice and help. Apple Support is closed right now.

Good Afternoon Krista1961,
If you are not seeing your contacts on your iPhone, follow the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the issue.  Do you see your contacts when you access www.icloud.com?

    This has happened to me too!
    I have lost all text messages, photos, notes and calendar dates. Also some of the apps.
    I think it was my second time of syncing. Also I tunes keeps opening when no apple prod is connected, and a dialogue box tells me it cannot find the I phone. When it is not connected?..
    Any news would be good news

    Look in the application that you synced them with, such as Outlook.

    You can restore them from your backup - if you havn't got a backup then you'll need to re-purchase them. Media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded from iTunes once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backup(s) of your purchased (and any other important) content.

    The IP addres won't help you at all if someone connects from a different location.
    Did you install and activate Find My iPhone before it was stolen? If so, you can try to locate it from http://icloud.com. In any case, you should report it stolen to the police and your mobile operator if it was a 3G version.

  • How can I get my phone contacts back from iCloud?

    For an unknown reason, all my phone contacts got deleted. I have a back up in my Mac Book Pro but haven't found the way to get them my iPhone back. How can I achive so?

    If they are on your MacBook, open contact on your Mac, click on All Contacts on the left-hand side, click on a single contact to the right and press Command-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted).  Then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save the file on your desktop.  Then email this file to yourself, open it on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import them back to your phone and to iCloud.
    If you have multiple accounts on your phone you might want to first go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and be sure this is set to iCloud.  This will ensure that the contacts will be added to iCloud when you import them.

  • How can I retrieve all the CONTACTS that were deleted after  the sync of iphone to Mac?

    After I backed up my iphone onto my Mac computer I was asked If I wanted to save the photos from my phone. I said DELETE.   Then I discovered  my address and phone numbers (CONTACTS) went empty in the iphone.   How can I reverse my DELETE and get these Contacts back to the iphone?

    iCloud maintains a database of your contacts which it uses to keep all devices and computers connected to the same iCloud account in sync.  If you ever wonder whether you've lost contacts because they do not appear on a device or mac/pc, you should log into iCloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the Contacts page.  You should find your contacts there.  If there but they do not appear on your device, see below for instructions.  If they are not there, then for one reason or another, they have been deleted.  See below for options if this is the case.
    Getting contacts from iCloud to a device.
    Your device/computer needs to be connected to the proper account in iCloud and have contacts set for syncing.  Go to Settings>iCloud (for a device) or System Preferences>iCloud (for a mac - can't help you with a PC, but hopefully you'll know where to go).  Be sure iCloud is turn on and that you have the right account.  If you need to change the account, scroll to bottom of screen (device) and tap Delete Account.  Find a similar button on a mac.  This will not delete data from iCloud, it only disconnects the device/mac from the current account.  Then enter ID/password for the correct account.  Next, be sure Contacts is turned on.  [If it has been turned on, try turning off and then back on.  If still not working, disconnect from iCloud and connect again.]  You should get your contacts back.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!, How can I retrieve my music I have lost everything after I sync to my phone. Now everything is gone Please help!!!

    I need help I have lost all my music that was in my iphone after I sync my phone with itunes Library now I  want to know how can I get it back.
    Thank you

    Trying to get some more info:  You had music on your phone and on your computer before this- correct? Are you syncing to the same computer with the same Apple ID that you did before?  Does iTunes still show your music - but not your phone?  Is this the situation or something different.
    More info will help us help you.

  • How can i retrieve photos that have been lost when I've synced my new iPhone to my old one

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 yesterday, and got carried away taking photos. I've just synced it with my iTunes so i could get all my apps etc from my 5 onto my new 6. It has deleted all the photo's I'd taken… Can and How can I get them back???
    Thanks

    IF you backed up the phone prior to deleting the photos, you may be ableto restore them using your backup.  If you had photo stream turned on, they may be in your photo stream.

  • How can I retrieve Apps and Contacts (possibly photos) from deleted iPhone?

    Hi everyone, my wife asked me to upload an album from her iTunes onto her iPhone 4S this morning as she is going on a long walk. However I did not realise that she has never plugged her phone into her laptop since she got it. I assumed that she had done this at least once since getting her phone.
    So when the phone was not recognised and prompted the question (set up as new phone) I clicked "no" and as a result her phone automatically synced to her old iPhone 3s back up from iTunes...
    I have searched a lot but I am resided to the fact that I have wiped all her photos from her new phone, and all contacts she has made over the last year and any of the Apps she may have downloaded.
    Is there any way of retrieving the information without having an iTunes back up? 
    I am going to try software from Wondershare when she gets back but can anyone suggest any other alternatives?
    Thank you for your help on this..

    By chance, was the phone backed up on iCloud? Was she using PhotoStream on iCloud? If not, the chances of revovering the data are slim.
    As to the wondershare  software, I wouldn't know. But if you have lost the data, trying it wouldn't hurt. You will be no worse off than you are now (except the price of the software).

  • How can i retrieve my deleted contacts?

    My daughter deleted all my contacts off my phone and I cannot figure out to retrieve them?

    From the supported contact application you use to sync contacts, as designed. You do sync your contacts, correct?
    Do you backup to iTunes or iCloud?

  • How can I get my Bokmarks back after losing them when I had an update for an add on?

    After I installed an update for an add on, I opened Firefox and I found that even though all of the Folders were still there, under Bookmarks, all of the bookmarks were gone. Is there any way that I can get them back?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

    How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

    You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_.  It is not the property of the company.  If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site:  https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it.  If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
    But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem.  If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked.  If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare.  Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.

    Synch them back from whatever contact manager or cloud service you stored them in.
