How do I get my Contacts back/restored??   :(

I've just recently bought an iTouch 5th generation. My iTunes & new 5th generation are up to date. Everything WAS backed up & up to date on iCloud & on my computer.
I don't know what happened, but I was trying to edit things under my name in Contacts. Something happened once I hit done, then ALL my contacts somehow accidentally got deleted from my iTouch & from iCloud.
I've tried numerous times to restore my iTouch, back to the day I got, even a few days after I got it before contacts got deleted. I've tried setting it up as a new ipod & my contacts still didn't show up. Everything that was on my old iPod & iCloud shows up on my new iTouch, just not the Contacts.
WHAT'S THE SIMPLE STEP BY STEP WAY TO DO IT??

If when you go to icloud.com>Contacts and they are not there
and
if you restored from backup. See
iOS: How to back up
and then are not on the iPod then they are gone. Did you sync them with another app like Google Contacts then sync again to that app.

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or there are a number of free email accounts that provide for syncing contacts over the air in addition to syncing other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

  • 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.

  • How do I get my contacts back after my phone wiped itself?

    I have a password set on my phone and you get 10 attempts before it locks you out.  My friend decided to take all 10 of those attempts and failed and right after that a white screen came up and said "wiping". I took my battery out and put it back in and the wiping screen came back up and then it turned on like normal.  But all of my contacts and messages are gone, but not my downloaded apps, pictures, ringtones, and stuff like that. How do i get my contacts back if they weren't on my SIM card? and why would my phone wipe itself just because someone failed at the password 10 times?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Yes the wipe would delete all personal data settings as a security feature designed in the device.
    Unless you have used the Blackberry desktop software to get a full backup of the device prior to the wipe the data is gone. If you do have the backup file you can restore the data via the desktop manager.
    Thanks,

    " As a security feature, the BlackBerry smartphone is designed to allow a maximum of 10 attempts by the BlackBerry smartphone user to type the correct password. After the tenth attempt, if the correct password has not been typed, all data is erased from the BlackBerry smartphone in order to discourage its theft or misuse."

  • How do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone

    how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

    Re-enter them.
    Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

    How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
    I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account.  NOT outlook to iclout.  there are 6325 contacts in icloud.  only 12 in outlook.  about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud.  i had to restore my computer PC.  My iphone is correct.  My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

    Hello Otienogo,
    Try the below steps on your iPhone,
    Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
    Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
    When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge.  All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
    Hope this helps you.

    If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup.  This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    No, iTunes itself will not save contact information but they "could be" a part of a backup which is located in your iTunes account or iCloud? Have you checked if you have a iPhone backup in iTunes?
