How do I restore the contacts on my Iphone?

I cleaned up my contacts on my MacBook Pro (deleted duplicates, deleted old numbers, etc) and then synced to my Iphone. Now my Iphone contact has no contacts. How Do i sync the newly edited address book on my MacBook to my Iphone?

Do you have sync contacts with the Address Book on your Mac selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If not, this needs to be selected.
If you want to replace contacts on your iPhone with what is available in the Address Book on your Mac, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

How do I restore the contacts in my IPhone? They dissappeared after I did the update.

After I did the update, my contacts comletely dissappeared and my email locked up. Any help would be appreciated. I contacted Apple, but they were not of much help. The Icloud was not of help either.

How can I restore the contacts on my iPhone 4s (from iTunes) without 'syncing' my phone?

I just got a new iPhone 4s about a month ago - backed everything up to iTunes before transferring onto my new phone, which worked great. However, my mail was not working correctly (gmail), and after trying to set it up multiple times, found out about the whole issue of gmail not supporting 'push' with the iphone anymore... Got that issue figured out, but part of trying to set up my gmail account found me syncing my contacts with my gmail contacts.
I have not kept gmail contacts up to date for a few years, and when my phone synced with google contacts, it basically wiped out all of my current contacts and replaced with outdated contacts from google. I know that my contacts should all be saved to iTunes, but I'm afraid to sync and have the same thing happen again. I don't want to restore my phone from iTunes if I don't have to, because I don't want to lose other things outside of my contacts that I've updated since the last time I backed up my phone.
Is there a way to restore just my contacts? I've got a lot of contact info/numbers over the years that would be very difficult to replace, and I don't fully understand the 'sync' process... Thanks for any help!

Syncing contacts is bi-directional. If you elect to sync contacts...again, selected on the Info pane in iTunes...whatever contacts you have in whatever supported application on your computer will be merged with what you have on your phone. If whatever application, on your computer, is empty, then all contacts on your phone will be erased. Never sync to an empty application.
Contacts are included in the iPhone backup, but the first thing done when you perform a sync is an iPhone backup. This means that whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup will be overwritten with whatever is currently on your phone.
So, if all you want are whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup, you need to re-read my initial post.

How can i restore the contacts that were on my iphone before i synched?

I have accidentally deleted my entire contact list/address book from my iphone while synching my iphone to the computer. It has been replaced with all contacts from other users that synch to this computer. How can I restore the contacts I created on my phone?

I pop up in these forums perhaps 3-4 times a year since about 10 years ago. How disappointing. It seems that all the forums here are mainly quite useless. Many have like 900 views and only 3-4 replies; and these replies more often than not, are people sharing the same problem Actual solutions are hard to find. Shouldn't Apple be embarrassed about this and perhaps do something about it. Consider this one as an example. It has
893 Views and only4 Replies. Out of these 4 replies opnly 1 is actually a possible answer/solution, which unfortunately (as in many otgher cases) does not provide the solution needed.

How can I restore the contacts of outlook?

Very stupid happened. Edited all my contacts through outlook. On their phone removed to immediately burn through recent outlook. Connect your phone to WM (I have Vista, and I can't use ActivSync ), and WM synchronizes contacts so that they aren't only
copied on the phone, and remove them from outlook.

How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

There are no "shortcuts" on the iPhone so I'm guessing you mean you've mislaid the Contacts app. By default, it's in the Utilities folder. If it's not there, look in all the other folders and home screens. Once you find it, you can move it anyhere you want by tapping and holding it until it wiggles, that dragging it to your preferred location.
If you want to reset all of your icons back to the default layout, Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. After you do that, it will be once again in the Utilities folder.
Note: You can also access Contacts through the Phone app.

Help!!! My husband by accident synced his account under my account and has merged all of our contacts. In the process of fixing the mixup has deleted contacts on both phones. How do I restore the contact list from the original contact list.

I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4. The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III. I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad. We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC. How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

How do i restore the restricted passcode in iphone 5

Hi, SAVREET.
Thank you for the question. If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Below, I have included the article that walks you through the restore process.
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)

Make sure to import all media, pictures and personal data to your computer prior to a restore.

HT201269 How do I keep the contacts in two iPhones separate?

How do I keep the contacts on two iPhones separate? At present, when I add a contact to my iPhone 4, it appears on hubbies iPhone 4s, If I delete it from his phone, it also deletes from mine. Help please!!

It sounds as if you are both using the same iCloud account and are syncing via iCloud. You need to have separate iCloud accounts.

I need to know how to back up the contacts on my iphone 3g in case my phone breaks or something, any help?

Can I back up iPhone contacts to pc? In case my iPhone is lost, broken or something. Or back up the contacts with iTunes online, is it possible?

While contacts are included in the iPhone backup, you should be syncing your contacts with a supported contact application on your computer or over-the-air with a service like iCloud. Your question states you have an iPhone 3G, yet your profile indicates a 4S. What model iPhone is it?

How do i restore the information in my iphone back to how it was before I changed it?

Please I am in desperate need of help. I was trying to put music in my phone and ended up changing my phone completely.

On the track pad control while moving two fingers down to zoom out to the original size and control plus two fingers moved up to zoom on.
Alternatively if you have a magic mouse use control and drag one finger up and down on the mouse to control zooming. If mouse wheel use control and move the wheel.
