How do I recover lost contacts in iCloud?

Today, a portion of contacts disappeared from iCloud. It is like I time-traveled back 3 or 4 years. They are gone across all my devices.  Posts about recovering contacts using i-tunes do not apply to my version of the OS.  I have OSX 10.9.5. How do I recover? I had to change my AppleID password this weekend because someone tried to access my account via a browser. However, the contacts disappeared today. I noticed it first on my phone, then my desktop and confirmed they were gone on my iPad.

access by going to www.icloud.com you could try restore from cloud to get it back if its gone

    You can see any back up files in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Back Up > Manage.... The option to use them will come after you have restored your device and the set up assistant starts.

  • Recovering lost contacts from icloud

    I recently made my own Apple Id and switched off my parents to be on my own account. When switching over on my phone it asked me if I wanted to keep my contact data from my iphone. Mindlessly reading I accidentally hit delete, thus deleting all of my contacts. I did not have my contacts saved in the cloud I don't think. Just wondering if there's anyway I could recover them?

    Hi Drew,
    When you say you were on your parents' account, do you mean that your iPhone had the AppleID that your parents use on it? How much have you done using your new ID? Are you still using the same iTunes library that your parents use?
    Can you give us a better idea of how you were set up on both the phone and on iTunes and how you are set up now?
    What about iCloud? Before and after?

    While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

  • How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

    How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

    Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all?  If so, then they are gone.
    IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

    Way 1. Recover Deleted Text Messages on iPhone with Backups
    1) Recover lost files on iPhone from iTunes Backup
    As you know, every time you sync your iPhone with iTunes, it will automatically make a backup of your iPhone contents including photos, SMS, reminders, contacts and more. Step 1. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer. Step 2. Choose "Recover form Backup" option. Step 3. Select a backup you need. If you don't know which one to choose, you'd better choose the latest backup. Step 4. Click "Start Scan". Step 5. Preview contents in details and select lost files you need. Step 6. Click "Recover".
    2) Recover Deleted documents on iPhone from iCloud Backup
    You should make sure that you have backup in iCloud before recovery. Go to Settings < iCloud. Log in to your Apple ID and toggle the Contacts switch from ON to OFF. Then turn it ON and choose Merge on the pop-up message. Then all contacts in the iCloud backup are back to your iPhone 4S.
    Way 2. Recover Deleted files on iPhone without Backups
    While if you don’t have any backup files in iTunes or iCloud, the unique way is to recover with iPhone Data Recovery. Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer and Run the software. Step 2. Click "Start Scan" > Scan data on your iPhone quickly. Step 3. Preview and select lost files you need. Step 4. Click "Recover" to recover them.

  • HT4859 how do i recover my contacts on my pc in the cloud?

    How do I recover my contacts that have been lost in the i cloud on my PC?

    If you went to icloud.com with a browser, looked at the contacts page and found them gone, then they are no longer on icloud.  You only choice is, IF you once had the contacts on your PC and IF you've been making backups periodically, then restore the contact files using whatever backup program you used.  Beyond that, I can't help on the PC end of things.

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Contacts is switched ON. It may take a few minutes for the data to sync via Wi-Fi.
    If you are using iCloud, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer via iTunes to sync your contacts.

    My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone.  How do I recover my contacts?

    First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...).  If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes.  After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.
