How to re-capture lost contacts?

Is there a way to bring back contacts lost in an upgrade, without having to restore? An iphone 5C going from IOS 8 to 8.02 lost contacts. It was backed up to icloud prior, but I cannot see how to restore from that backup?

when you connect your iPhone to your computer in the summary tab you can choose to back up to this computer or iCloud choose iCloud and it will restore the last backup you did with iCloud
if you just want the contacts and nothing else then don't do it, you can find them in your iCloud account and put them in manually
i had to do that because i only sync contacts, and notes
good luck

    How do I retreive lost contacts and calendar events?

    Well, I believe the only option is through iCloud or maybe a previous iTunes back up. I'm not 100% sure if iTunes backs up contacts as well (since I have not personally used iTunes back ups in some times), but I would start there. If you don't have them backed up anywhere, I don't know what to tell you.

Is there away to straighten this out?

    Yes, erase her phone and start restore from icloud over again.

  • How do I restore lost contacts from my macbook pro?

    We have a  MacBook Pro.
    It has all contacts in the address book and then they are broken down into groups for myself, my husband and 2 kids.  My husband deleted all of my contacts from his iPhone. When I synced it with the MacBook Pro, it asked me if I wanted to delete 50+ contacts. I said yes assuming it would only delete for him......well it deleted all the contacts he wanted removed from his iPhone, from my iPhone and from the MacBook Pro.  So the question is;  how do I restore those contacts.  We have I phone 4s' and recently updated to OSX Version 10.9.4.  Any suggestions?

    You restore them from your most recent backup.

    You can see any back up files in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Back Up > Manage.... The option to use them will come after you have restored your device and the set up assistant starts.

  • How to retrieve my lost contacts found in data.syncdb???

    Hey,
    I had a problem with my new iPhone, I had Nokia N95 before, I wanted to get a copy of my contacts on my MacBook then I sync them into the iPhone, BUT I deleted all my contacts by mistake, can anyone help me extracting them from data.syncdb file found in (~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local)
    I opened the file, I found the names between the huge amount of letter and number..
    I looked for some numbers as well...the problem is that the numbers and names are not matched...and I cant match all of them myself of course..
    I tried to open it in the editor and I remember the first line had "SQLite version 3" I look around for that and I couldnt get any useful solutions...
    I really need the contacts...Thanks!!

  • How to get back lost contacts

    I woke up Sunday and list all my contacts & colander events were gone.  How do I get them back? Help.

    Settings > iCloud > turn off both Contacts > after it finishes, turn off Calendars > after that finishes, turn them both back on. This will force a re-push from iCloud.com

  • How do I recover lost contacts in iCloud?

    Today, a portion of contacts disappeared from iCloud. It is like I time-traveled back 3 or 4 years. They are gone across all my devices.  Posts about recovering contacts using i-tunes do not apply to my version of the OS.  I have OSX 10.9.5. How do I recover? I had to change my AppleID password this weekend because someone tried to access my account via a browser. However, the contacts disappeared today. I noticed it first on my phone, then my desktop and confirmed they were gone on my iPad.

    access by going to www.icloud.com you could try restore from cloud to get it back if its gone

  • How do i find lost contacts after i installed ios5 through my macbook pro?

    I upgraded my iphone by syncing through my MacBook Pro. When it finished all the messages and original contacts as well as games and software were deleted. It even took away my wallpaper which was a picture of my grandson. I am really upset!

    Did you perform the update on the computer you normally sync to? Did you get any errors during the process? Did you wait for the restore to complete after updating? Were your apps in the iTunes library BEFORE you started the update? Were you syncing your contacts to a compatible address book or cloud service?
    We need more information to even begin to guess what happened.
