How do you get your contacts back once you have restored your phone?

It was stated that I needed to update my phone, so I hooked into Itunes like it stated. I did and a message popped up stating that it was in recovery mode and I had to restore it first so I did. Now that it has updated and been restored, I don't have anything left on there such as my contacts, music, etc. the main thing I need are my contacts. Is there any way I can get them back without having to put each one in there manually?

Backing it up is what you are suppose to do regularly, But, trying to save them via backup means you have to restore your phone in itunes and that is probably not the way to do this. You can search on google for an app that may exist to save these ( if there is one, that would be the best way ) or you can take screen shots of your text and email them or just keep them on your camera roll. Im pretty sure if you google, you will find something to help you save them, most likely the deleted ones are gone tho.

    how do i get my contacts back, i  just looked at my phone, didnt touch anything and they had just dussapeared! i didnt have a single one left and i dont have a clue how to get them back?!

    Hi sfuentes,
    You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
    If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

    Reset your device first.   Hold down Home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears.   You won't lose any data.

    how do i get my contacts back after the ios6 update?

    No, iTunes itself will not save contact information but they "could be" a part of a backup which is located in your iTunes account or iCloud? Have you checked if you have a iPhone backup in iTunes?

  • How do I get my contacts back after my phone wiped itself?

    I have a password set on my phone and you get 10 attempts before it locks you out.  My friend decided to take all 10 of those attempts and failed and right after that a white screen came up and said "wiping". I took my battery out and put it back in and the wiping screen came back up and then it turned on like normal.  But all of my contacts and messages are gone, but not my downloaded apps, pictures, ringtones, and stuff like that. How do i get my contacts back if they weren't on my SIM card? and why would my phone wipe itself just because someone failed at the password 10 times?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Yes the wipe would delete all personal data settings as a security feature designed in the device.
    Unless you have used the Blackberry desktop software to get a full backup of the device prior to the wipe the data is gone. If you do have the backup file you can restore the data via the desktop manager.
    Thanks,

    " As a security feature, the BlackBerry smartphone is designed to allow a maximum of 10 attempts by the BlackBerry smartphone user to type the correct password. After the tenth attempt, if the correct password has not been typed, all data is erased from the BlackBerry smartphone in order to discourage its theft or misuse."

    How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts?  My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
    I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account.  NOT outlook to iclout.  there are 6325 contacts in icloud.  only 12 in outlook.  about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud.  i had to restore my computer PC.  My iphone is correct.  My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

    Hello Otienogo,
    Try the below steps on your iPhone,
    Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
    Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
    When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge.  All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
    Hope this helps you.

    Lost all my phone numbers in my iphone 4 and my iclod account was without any numbers. how can i get my contacts back?

    If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup.  This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.
