How do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

how do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or over the air with an email account that supports it, and there are several that do which are free.
Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair. If the contacts are available elsewhere as designed and intended, it doesn't matter if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data.

  • I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    Matt,
       My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this.  I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts?  If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone.  Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.
    According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:
       1.  It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own.  and
       2.  You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.
       This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts.  Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.

  • How do i get my contacts back from time machine?

    Today i restored my macbook pro and backed it up on an external disk (My passport for mac). Now i'm putting some files back on to my mac and put most of the stuff i wanted got back on, but i cant find the way how to get my contacts back.

    Bring the Contacts or Address Book window forward, then enter Time Machine and scroll back to a snapshot that includes the contacts you want to restore. Select the contacts and click the Restore button in the lower right corner of the screen.

  • Noo!!!  How can I get my contacts back after failed update?!

    Tried updating my phone. Got the same error everyone else has. And before some smart aleck asks, no I haven't hacked my phone at all. Just contacts and songs have been added.
    Got the error, and had to restore. Now everything's gone. Pictures, contacts, everything. Please tell me there's a way to get it back. Most of those contacts weren't in my Outlook. And my old phone's been recycled so I can't get the info off that either.
    I love the phone....but I hate the update.

    I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound like a smart-you know what, but what in the world were you thinking of updating the iPhone with no backup? At the very least having your contacts on your desktop program (Outlook) would be a good backup. If I read your post correctly, you manually entered your contact information on your iPhone, you have no copy of that data anywhere else, and completely wiped out your iPhone with a restore.
    If I understood the situation correctly, then no, there is no way to get your contacts back.
    I would highly recommend you enter them on the computer, not the iPhone. Sync them over to the iPhone, making the iPhone the SECOND place where you have all your contacts.

  • How do I get my contacts back from iCloud?

    I wanted to get out of iCloud. When I unchecked my Contacts I got a window that asked if I wanted to keep my contacts on my Mac or delete. I clicked "delete". I shouldn't have. Can I get my old contacts back? How could Apple supply such a damaging piece of software as this? It goes against Apple's extremely user friendly past.

    Your Contacts are still in iCloud.
    Sign in again, wait for your contacts to appear, then sign out and DON'T choose delete this time.

    Because it is not damaging.

  • How do i get my contacts back from i cloud

    I seem to have lost all my contacts today and I think it is because I set up a second account for my son's new I pod touch today. Once I did that I noticed all my contacts were gone from my I phone 4.

    Have you tried to add your account again?

  • HT6541 How do I get my pictures back from the update? They were photos synced from my previous phone and now they are gone. Please help!

    i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    I have a iPhone 4,, lost all my contacts ,, how do I get my contacts back?

    You'll need some kind of device/software to go between the two devices - iTunes or iCloud would be the easiest.

  • How do i get my contacts back? they have just dissapeared?!

    how do i get my contacts back, i  just looked at my phone, didnt touch anything and they had just dussapeared! i didnt have a single one left and i dont have a clue how to get them back?!

    Hi sfuentes,
    You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
    If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

  • How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

    How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

    I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
    Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
    All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
    Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.
