How to recover contacts...?

Please HELP!!!!
I just sync'd my iphone to icloud and it was supposed to Merge the Contacts I had in icloud with the ones on my iphone, but instead it deleted from my phone all the contacts that were not on incloud.... Any suggestions on recovering all those aditional Contacts I had on my iphone...?? Thanks!!!

I had only done an initial backup quite a while ago, after that I guess the auto backup option got dissabled on my phone so all I had on icloud was a very old and incomplete backup...
Thanks!

    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.

  • On an Iphone 5s How do recover contacts that somehow vanished in my contacts list, the cloud and Sync are not available on this Iphone yet

    On an iPhone 5s, how do you recover contacts that some how vanished from the contact list?
    Sync and the cloud not available yet.

    To transfer your data and settings to a new device see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.  You can also use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up the contacts on your phone as attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  If you need to, you can later open this email on your new phone and tap the attachment to import your contacts.

  • How to recover contacts from nokia 3230 memory?

    I have Nokia 3230 mobile, it is now having problem in getting powered on. I contacted the nearby Nokia care center, they told they can reset the phone, but all sms and contacts will be erased. But I need to recover all my contacts from the phone.
    I bought a memory card reader & using which I have managed to read the memory card of the phone, but it only recovers images and videos. This does not shows the sms and contacts.
    Where are my contacts and sms stored(they are not in SIM memory as I tried inserting SIM in different mobile phone)?
    How can I recover my contact list and sms messages from the phone memory?
    Pls help.

    Don't think thats possible, unless the phone switches ON. 
    A lesson learnt is..Always back-up your data at regular intervals especially after you make changes... 
    BTW, does the phone need a Reset ? If its just some electronic problem they can rectify it without loss of any data. Only if its some Software related issue then they need to Reset the device... and hope you have confirmed that its not the Battery that is the cause of the dead phone..

  • How to recover contacts deleted from iphone?

    I deleted my contacts in my iphone4. When I purchased a new iphone5s, my contacts is not uploaded. I have back up to itunes using the old iphone4. How do I recover the lost contacts?

    What were you syncing the with? If you were syncing them with iCloud, they were deleted from iCloud when you deleted them from the old phone. If you don't have then stored somewhere else, they're gone.

  • How to recover contacts list on iphone 4 after updating to ios 7.0.4

    After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.4 not only has my phone lagged terribly, but almost a week since the update my contacts list completely vanished. How can I fix that issue without further damage

    So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
    I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact  disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
    TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
    Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
    I've tried restarting the phone.
    I've tried resetting the phone.
    I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
    I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
    I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.

  • How to recover contacts lost in software update?

    I updated my Iphone software without backup the data on my phone, now I have lost everything.
    I tried the available restore backup on itune, but still did not get anything back.
    Please tell me if there is any other ways that I can get my contacts back?

    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6). 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • 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!!!!!!

  • Lost phone - how to recover contacts from Nokia PC...

    Regrettably I recently lost my Nokia 6303 along with all my contacts. I did however sync and backup my 6303 with Nokia PC Suite. I have since bought a replacement - a Nokia 5800 - and am trying to import my old contacts (from the lost 6303) to my new replacement (the 5800) - but I can't see how to do this within Nokia PC Suite.
    Any thoughts very welcome!

    If you'd backup the phone memory as a .nbu file, you can restore it using content copier.
    If the content copier fails to restore, you can try to open/extract the content from the .nbu file via Noki which is a Nokia backup file explorer and extractor. For details, please check the Noki data recovery guide.
