How do I retrieve lost contacts?

Having updated from BT yahoo to BTmail, all my iPad contacts have been lost.  How do I retrieve them?

Am not very good at this...
I do have an iCloud account, but I do not know 1) how to actually plug my iPad into my ancient laptop. 2) how to use the backup info.
thanks

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

  • HT4859 how do i retrieve my contacts, upload

    i lost all my contacts,, how do i retrieve my contacts on my phone using i tunes fro the auo back up.....
    thank you

    If you accidentally deleted your contacts on the device, your only hope to get some back is to restore from a backup, either on icloud or on iTunes, whichever you back up to.
    Restore from iCloud-

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • My iphone has been stolen, how can I retrieve my contacts without sim and having never backed up

    My iphone has been stolen and I have never backed up my phone so how cn I retrieve my contacts as I have no recoed of the sim number

    The iPhone doesn't save contacts to the SIM card so I don't know what good knowing the SIM card number would do you. If you have no back up of the contacts, they are lost.

    My phone was stolen how do i retrieve my contacts on a new phone?

    If you have an iCloud account, change your AppleID and iCloud passwords immediately.  That will keep a thief from connecting and deleting your iCloud backups.  When you get a new iPhone, if from an Apple store, the genius bar staff can download the information you have in iCloud and restore it to your new iPhone.

  • How do I retrieve lost notes and pictures

    How do I retrieve lost notes and pictures

    Not sure about pictures, but for iphone notes:
    After many hours of trying everything to retrieve my lost notes (several just disappeared overnight for no reason) it dawned on me that they were linked to one of my email accounts (In my case yahoo).
    I logged into that account directly from the yahoo site (not iphone mail!) and "Voila!" all of my notes, even the disappeared ones, were there!
    Took some cut & pasting and I'm back in business.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I retrieve my contacts after my phone froze?

    Today I was unable to access my Messages App, therefore switched phone off, waited a while and turned it back on, only to find it upon turning it back on, all my contacts had beeen deleted. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the iPhone 4S? As I was not expecting this to happen, I have not backed up contacts or other data via iTunes or iCloud. However, upon viewing other responses it would appear iCloud does not store your contact information or any other information for that matter.
    How can I retrieve my contact info without it being stored anywhere? Is it best to take to an Apple Outlet??
    Cheers

    You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer from the very beginning.  Did you fail to do this?

    how do i retrieve my contact infornation after sale of new phone

    Suggesting you were using iCloud Contacts on your old phone, you can just sign in on your new one and the contacts are synced automatically!
    If not, on old phone, sign in to iCloud and then sign in on new phone too. Syncs like magic!
