How to recover contacts/notes after ios6 upgrade on iphone 3gs?

I still have the backup folder in my PC but itunes is not recovering it in my phone...
Initially what I did was backup the phone and then cut that folder and move it into another drive (as I needed almost 10gbp just to do the upgrade in the software!).
Once the upgrade was done I moved the backup folder (which is about 6gbp) into the same folder in Appdata: Apple itunes: mobile data folder.
I tried doing Recover from backup folder in my PC through itunes but it will not recover anything! No contacts, notes or anything!!
Please help. Does it have anything to do with icloud or anything else?
Thanks
PD. Just so you know the upgrade was prompted by the Whatsapp ceasing to function on 26 Dec 12 (just like other users as I have been reading in the forums).

i have the same problem anyone help me out to get my contacts back it irritating!!!!!!

    Hi All,

    Thanks and Regards,

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • After last upgrade, my iphone 3GS has a yellow screen and won't come on.

    Hi
    I really need help... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 and there was a flash of white screen, followed by a yellow screen with lines across it. iTunes shows a error message and the phone is now dead. It won't go on. It does go into the DFU mode but thats all about it. Please help as I urgently and desperately need my phone on ....
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it didn't work because the screen was completely frozen. I broke down and took the thing to the Apple Store and they discovered there was a loose wire in it that had to be reconnected. This is the second phone which has failed because of "workmanship. "The microphone went bad on the first phone and now this issue. Both phones may have had 2 hours on them and as a new comer to the iphone, I am not impressed. I paid cash for the phone and no insurance. I assumed it would have lasted several years like my other phone of which brand name I won't mention. The phone was great when it worked but when it doesn't it is very frustrating when the touch pad is frozen.  
    I understand, you can mark this answer as "This solved my question" so that more people can see it if they have the same problem.

  • How to recover contacts with out a backup on iphone

    Updated my phone to the newest version 6.0 and lost all my contacts when it was complete. Tried to restore my contacts from back up on itunes but keep getting a message saying there is not enough space on the iphone therefore took off all the music off the phone and had 3gb free but yet the contacts are not restored.. Help please!

    Nice. Not!
    Wish there was a way to use the built-in spotlight and siri for third-party notes. It would really be time to move on, as the notes app is beautifully simple, yes, but can you really rely on it?

  • How do I contact Apple about unlocking my old iPhone 3GS the carrier's support is appalling !

    I upgraded to an iPhone 4S and changed networks as Orange service abroad was very expensive and poor.  I handed my old iPhone 3GS to my wife and she has a contract with my new network.  However, it does not work as the phone is locked and Orange tell me they have requested an unlock code from Apple.  I am still waiting for this!! How can I contact Apple to check if this is the true situation?

    Apple will not unlock an iPhone sold locked to a carrier. Only the carrier will unlock an iPhone. Some carriers, such as AT&T, appear to have policies of never unlocking an iPhone.

  • Why can't I send emails after iOS5 upgrade of iPhone 3GS?

    Having upgraded to iOS5, my iPhone 3GS will receive but will no longer send emails.  The error message says that it cannot send mail because the recipient [named] was rejected by the server.  This happens whether I am trying to reply to an incoming message or create one afresh.  Help please.

    If anyone picks up this question, I later found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3400398?start=0&tstart=0 - a thread I failed to find when I first searched.

  • Ios6 upgrade on Iphone 3gs

    I upgraded my iphone3gs to ios 6 and now it keeps restarting, i have reinstalled the operating system but still the same, any ideas

    As far as i can see you cannot restore once the ios has been upgraded, this was done on the phone with a download not while plugged into a computer so there was no backup taken

  • 21.1GB space used after IOs5 upgrade on iphone 3gs

    Hi,
    i just Upgraded to IOs5 on my 3GS and there is 21.1GB of space used for other.  does that seem right?  Is there a way to figure out what is using that much space and reduce the usage?
    Cheers

    There are still battery issues with iOS 5 and another update is forthcoming. In the meantime do you have an Exchange mail account on your iPhone?
    Your charging problem is almost certainly related to the water damage on your iPhone. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149.

  • How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

    How to recover Contacts after MobileMe to iCloud upgrade?

    I assume that the regular backups of the contacts and calendar only work on a Mac
    No, you can backup contacts and calendars on a Windows PC. There are many backup options for PCs, but you would've had to set one up. Don't you backup any of the data on your PC?
    Your recommendation is that I restroe my entire iPhone from the last iTunes backup to recover these files?
    That's really your only option with no other backups available. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    There's no guarantee that the iTunes Backup will include all your contacts, as noted in the support article above, you're supposed to maintain backups of the contacts in the contact manager you sync with.

  • After IOS6 upgrade game centre says my nick name already in use. has reset some games back to beginning, how do i fix

    After IOS6 upgrade game centre says my nick name already in use. has reset some games back to beginning, how do i fix

    I've had almost every issue you've had.  Finally on Friday the screen blacked out.  It was obviously still charged, since I could hear the message ring, but when I tried to light up the display it didn't light so I was unable to get to it unless I removed the battery.  Then, as soon as the display timed out, I couldn't get it lit up again without removing battery.  I had the same slow movements throughout the display as well as slow text messaging.  Every issue you had other than the alarm clock (that always worked well).
    I took it in yesterday and, after over an hour spent there with a 'professional', I still had no answers.  He told me to come home and copy everything from my sd card to my computer, then re-format my card.  Well, my phone didn't even recognize that I had an sd card installed!!  Nor did my computer! 
    So then I got to experimenting...I removed the card and viola!!!!!!  The phone worked GREAT!  It's never worked so fast!  I then installed my husbands sd card to see if it was my phone's card reader or my card.  Turns out that the phone still worked great with his card installed and it did recognize his card in my phone.  So, my conclusion is that I need a new card.  I couldn't believe the difference in speed of everything!  It's like a brand new phone! 
    As for the hard reset...I did that over the weekend, before I could get to a verizon store.  It didn't work at all.
    I'd say, do the same thing I did and see if that works.  Can't hurt!!!  Please keep me posted.  I'd like to see what you find out 
    Good Luck!!!!
