Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone. Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents. Have had to edit on PC. Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync. Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved. Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.

How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup. It's like your phone went back in time.
Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever. There is no way to get these data back.

HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM 3G TO 3GS

I BOUGHT NEW 3GS 2012 MODEL 8GB , AND WANT TO TRANSFER MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM MY OLD 3G 8GB TO NEW 3GS.
OLD 3G IS NOT SUPPORTING TO I CLOUD. HOW CAN I GET ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IN NEW 3GS?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Can you try first backing up your 3G with iTunes (I guess synching also does this) and then restoring your new 3GS using this backup.
Note that this might delete all other data you have in your new 3GS (if any) and replace it with the data you have in 3G. This might also lower the version of your OS in your 3GS, however you should be easily update the OS if restore becomes successful.

Retaining contacts and messages after a full restore

Hi All,
Wonder if someone would be kind enough to let me know whether this is possible.
I want to do a full restore of my iPhone 4 - following the widely occurring and publicised battery issues. So as I understand it this involves restoring my iPhone and setting it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from back-up (I have tried this but to no avail).
Now I know I can put my music, photos, books apps etc etc back on, using iTunes but can I put my contacts, text messages and notes back on? Or is there a way that I can guarantee I won't lose them all?
To be honest text messages here are secondary anyway; preserving contacts and my notes is my top priority. I do not have a mobile me membership by the way.
Thanks very much in advance

Where would I find the contacts on the computer?
I looked in the address book, but it was wiped out there as well.
I apologize for not being tech-savvy.
That's up to the user. When setting up the iPhone as described in the manual, you should choose an application on your computer to sync contacts to. You do this by connecting the phone to your computer, clicking on its name in iTunes, then going to the Info tab and checking "Sync contacts with" and choosing an app. Usually Address Book for Mac, Windows Vista, 7 or 8, or Outlook for Windows XP.
Alternatively, you can choose to sync to iCloud from the phone's settings. Then your contacts will be in your iCloud address book, which you can access by logging in to icloud.com with your Apple ID.
Alternatively, you can sync with Google Mail, which will allow you to sync your contacts with Google's address book.
Alternatively, you can do the same with Hotmail or Yahoo.
Alternatively, if you get email from an MS Exchange server, contacts will automatically sync with it.
If you didn't do any of these you risk losing contacts if something glitches.

Have lost Contacts and messages after bad upgrade, anyone had the same?

Took most of the day to install the new software upgrade, it kept failing. Now I have no contacts or messages. Has anyone else had the same problem or know how to fix? there is a terrible lag now too

Yep I lost all my contacts and texts. I tried to restore but the only option to restore from was the latest backup which included having no contacts and text. You would think they could offer the last 5 or so should you need to restore a reliable version.
I've talked to support and they said if it wasn't back up by Outlook or Google then it's gone. I got all my music, videos, tv shows, apps, and pictures. No contact or text. Unfortnately, some dropped the ball on this risk. Hopefully they will learn and do better next time.
One piece of encouragement, after having no texts, one came in yesterday morning. I read it and responded and when I went to the main text areas they had all reappeared. Unfortunately, since there are no contact names, I am looking at numbers which are unfamiliar to me. But it's something to dig in to. Hope another something simple will trigger the return of the contacts. I just don't know where to rub the lamp to get the genie to come out.

How to recover contacts from Iphone after reset without backup?

Hey guys.
Bad timing, bad luck and an annoying situation. My computer had a meltdown so all my data was wiped. Then my phone was on a continual boot logo with the apple screen. The computer is back, the iphone is back with new software. I have lost everything on the phone when it was reinstalling the software.
Is there a way of getting into the harddrive of the phone, getting the data (Really want contacts) and undeleting them? Hope it is possible but googling has left me with little hope
Cheers
Tom

I thought as much. I won't go into details but the hard drive with backup wasn't looked after by a friend and I haven't had time to buy another one yet. Such is life.
Dont even ask me why didn't I have backup of the hard drive or my head might explode!

I need help!! My iPhone 4s lost contacts in messages after restore! How can I fix this?

Earlier today I turned my phone off and back on...then I noticed that my contacts in my messages were not showing up, only the numbers. I tried to do a backup restore-- didn't work. I tried adding a +1 in front of all my contacts, that didn't work either. My contacts are still there, they are just not syncing with my messages. How can I fix this?

How to recover lost video files after restoring from back up

I recently had to restore my ipad completely one day in order to update it and I was in a rush. So I took my iPad before I could restore it from a back up. So I set up the iPad as a "new" iPad and just started using it. I bought iMovie with my iTunes account on the "new" iPad and started filming from the iPad for a school project. So I edited the footage in iMovie and had a finished project. Then I went home that night and decided to just upload my most recent back up from my old iPad. In doing so I lost ALL my footage. iMovie still has everything in the correct place and says that my project is just missing some files. Is there ANYWAY I can get this footage back? Isn't it still on the iPad somewhere? Please someone help me out!

If their on your iTunes on your computer, try plugging in your iPod and dragging the files from the iTunes Library on your computer to the library on your iPod. Hope it helps(:

White background in dialler, contacts and messaging after JB update

Are Sony looking at the number of comments relating to the change to a white background in the dialler, contacts & messaging? Will anything be done about it? 3rd party solutions don't remove the problem as some applications still open up the default applications - e.g. a 3rd party contact manager will still open the default messaging app.

there's another on going thread on the same topic, please do NOT create a new thread on the same topic, it clutters the forum.
