How do I restore phone contacts from Backup Assistant backups?

Something caused my contacts to revert to an older version. I not able to find how to restore them from an earlier Backup Assistant backup.

I'm super sorry to hear about your contacts, dave658! I'm commited to doing all I can to ensure that you're able to restore your contacts. The best option would be to view your contacts online at vzw.com and follow the instructions below:
1. Sign in to My Verizon.
2. Locate the I Want To... section.
3. Click More Actions.
4. In the MESSAGING column, select Manage My Contacts. The Backup Assistant Plus: Contacts page displays.
5. Click Sync to Phone. A confirmation message displays.
6. Click OK.
Let me know if this helps. Have a great day! ^CM

How do I restore my contacts from an earlier backup?

Lost some but not all contacts when I got a new phone. How can I restore my contacts from a backup I did earlier this week?

When restoring an iPhone from the backup, the current backup being used is selected by default. If a previous backup is avaialble, you can select it from the pop-up where the current backup selected by default is located.
Contacts should be available in a supported address book app on your computer for a number of reasons with this being one of them. If so, the contacts would be transferred from the address book app on your computer without having to restore the iPhone with iTunes and in then event there is a problem with the backup in regards to this data. If the iPhone were lost or stolen or damaged and not usuable, your contacts would be available as well or syncing with another phone in the event the iPhone was not replaced with another, etc.

How do I restore one contact from my Time Machine?

How do I restore one contact from my Time Machine?

From Time Machine Help:
Restore items backed up with Time Machine
If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can easily bring back lost items or recover older versions of files.
You can use Time Machine within many apps. If the iCloud Documents & Data feature is turned on, you can recover older versions of iCloud documents as well as regular documents.
Open a window for the item you want to restore.For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. To recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail. To recover an iCloud document, open the document’s app, choose File > Open, then click iCloud to view the iCloud documents for that app.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
From the Time Machine menu in the menu bar, choose Enter Time Machine. A message may appear while your Mac connects to the backup disk.
Use the arrows and timeline to browse the snapshots and backups.White tick marks represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk. If a tick mark appears dimmed or grayed, there’s no backup available or the backup disk is not connected.
For more information about an item, double-click it.The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder.
Many apps let you use Time Machine within individual documents so you can examine and read the document’s past versions to find the version you want. For more information, see:
View and restore past versions of documents

Hey,
I think you will find that you have to have a debit/credit card stored on yur account regardless of whether your have iTunes Credit or want to purchase a free App. I don't know why, I assume its for ID verification or is part of the terms and conditions. I occasionally have to re-verify my credit card info even when just trying to run Update on one of my Apps or like I said downloading a free App.
If you need further clarification all you can do is contact iTunes Support:

Hope this helps. Andrew

HI Brigdool,
It depends how you made the backup.
If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc. The second method builds a new library with the same content.

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.

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.
