How do I transfer contacts from a backup to iPhone?

I just restored my iPhone as a new phone. I have a backup saved in my computer, not in iCloud. So my question is: how do I transfer contacts from that backup to my newly restored phone, and ONLY the contacts, nothing more (that's the whole point of my restoring my phone as a new phone).
I don't know if all of that makes sense, but if someone knows how to do that, please help me, I can't afford to lose those hundreds of contacts.

Download a free copy of ibackupbot for your computer and try it.  If you think it is what you want you have to pay $30

    How can I transfer contacts from htc wildfire to iPhone 4?

        Hello ugadawgs79,
    I know how important it is to have access to your contacts! I'm glad you have successfully backed up your contacts to Backup Assistant. Now, let's get these contacts moved over to your iPhone!
    To start, we will remove VZ Contact Transfer from your iPhone 4. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39865
    Next, let's power your phone off; then back on.
    Once the phone is back on, be sure that Wifi is turned off. The VZ Contact Transfer application must be performed over the Verizon Wireless data network and not a WiFi network.
    reinstall the VZ Contact Transfer application and follow this guide: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39928
    Keep us posted. We're here to help.
    Thanks,

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • How do i transfer contacts from a broken iphone to another?

    How do i transfer contacts from my iphone that will not turn on, to another working iphone?

    Hey dbricknr,
    If you signed into your device with an iCloud account and backed up your contacts through iCloud, the next time you go onto that new working iPhone be sure to sign in into your iCloud account.
    To do so, please follow perform these instructions on your iPhone:
    Settings > iCloud > You should see somewhere with an option to sign in, from there sign in. > Once you do that, go back to the iCloud settings page on your iPhone and make sure Contacts are on.
    Turning the contacts slide on should backup your new contacts you added on this phone, (If I'm correct)
    Your contacts should now appear in your contacts section.
    Hope this helps!

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I transfer contacts from MacBook to I phone 6

    How do I transfer contacts from MacBook Air to I Phone 6

    Hello Sm1942, 
    You can sync your contacts in one of two ways. The first way is to use iTunes to sync them over and you can find the option in the Info tab to sync them. The other option is using a syncing service like iCloud and you can set that up on both on your iPhone and your MacBook Air. For information on how doing either option, the articles below will get you going.

  • How do I transfer Contacts from my IPhone5 back to my computer (windows)?  It crashed and I lost my contacts but I have them on my IPhone5 and would like to transfer or export them.

    How may I transfer Contacts from my IPhone5 back to my Windows Computer.  I had a trojan virus and it wiped out everything including my contacts.  My IPhone 5 has the only complete list of my contacts and I'd like to have them back on my computer.

    Hi Jean167,
    I'm sorry to hear you of your issues with contacts being erased from your computer.
    You can copy them from the iPhone if you have iCloud setup on all your devices.
    Here are some articles / information that may help:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    iCloud: System requirements
    PC
    Microsoft Windows 7 or 8
    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 or later
    iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
    Outlook 2007 or 2010 or iCloud.com
    Safari 5.1.7 or later or Internet Explorer 9 or later (for iCloud.com and Bookmarks), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 for Windows
    I hope this information helps, Jean ...
