How to recover lost phone contacts after Sync ?

My Nokia 6230 was full of contacts.
My MacBook Pro adress book was empty.
After syncing, my phone is empty... I have no backup !
When iSync deletes a contact from the phone, does it store the information somewhere on the mac before ?
Is there any chance for me to recover my phone numbers ?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your contacts are not backed up as they are removed - they are simply removed. Unless you had previously backed up the contents of your mobile handset in some manner, there is no possibility of recovering your records.
iSync executed what it believed you wanted it to do: a command to replace the contents of your mobile handset with the contents of an empty Address Book, rather than merge records from the two devices. Generally, you are given a choice of Merge or Replace when performing a first-time synchronization.

    Do you regularly back up your phone with iCloud or iTunes on your computer?
    Do you sync contacts with a cloud service or app on your computer?

  • How to recover lost songs from a sync mistake

    my wife downloaded songs with her wireless itouch when pluged it into the compter it did an auto sync and erased her songs she purchased ??? any way to recover them ?

    Did she sync it with the wrong iTunes?
    Either way, it should have asked about music that was purchased on the iPod Touch, that was not present in the library.
    Go to the iTunes Store, log in, and click on the account name. In the new window, click on Purchase History, find the purchases that were wiped, and click on report a problem. Say it was a "I didn't recieve this song." And type in what happened. Apple should supply you with a redownload.

  • Lost Phone Numbers after Sync with Mac

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to the Blackberry forum and to the Mac.  I love both of them but yesterday I used the new Desktop Manager for the Mac to sync with my Mac and it wiped all my phone numbers on the Blackberry.  I still have the numbers on my hands-free car system.  Is there a way to recover the numbers from the car back onto my phone?
    I am based in the UK.  My Blackberry is the 8310, the Mac is a MacBook Pro 5,5 and the car is a Mercedes E350.
    Thanks,
    Piers

    Not sure what you mean by recover email.
    iTunes creates a backup for your iPhone which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process which includes contacts.
    If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again since this happened, don't. You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. When selecting Restore, you will be prompted to update your iPhone's backup as the first step which you want to decline or your backup updated with the last sync will be overwritten.

  • How to recover lost pages files after iPad update?

    My friend lost all his pages and numbers documents that were on his iPad after updating yesterday. anyone know how to get them back? they weren't saved anywhere but the iPad. are the pages and numbers files stored during the device backup?

    Thanks. If it does an automatic backup when you connect it, which it seems this iPad does, then there will never be an older backup to restore from, is that right?
    Is there any other way..?
    Yes - it will backup automatically. You can prevent iTunes from syncing automatically - which in turn prevents iTunes from backing up automatically as well - but when you do initiate the sync - it will always backup the iPad.
    However, I have read that if you watch the progress bar at the top of the iPad when the sync process begins - you can click on the X in the progress bar to stop it from backing up and it will move to the next step in the sync process. I have never tried that myself. I would only use that method if the sync was hanging up from a bad backup and that would be another problem in itself - so you really don't want to do that.
    What you can do is create a manual backup and then copy  that backup (don't remove it) into another folder on your hard drive. But you have to turn off auto sync so you can control the backup process.
    I do not sync automatically - never have. If you want to turn off auto sync - Launch iTunes on your computer - go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Then when you connect the iPad and iTunes starts up, you can right click on the iPad name on the left and select backup. If you want to keep that backup that you just created - don't sync. Eject the iPad and quit iTunes and find the backup and copy it to another folder on your hard drive.
    Read this article for more information on where you can find the backup folder.

    To finally answer your specific question about having older backups - I do have 4 older backups of my iPad. I can't remember if they were created when I've restored my iPad - which I have done several times - or when the iOS was updated. Like I said - I did restore after the recent iOS update - to a backup that I created prior to the update. It was dated two days prior.
    I hope I have given you some useful information - and not confused you further. I wish someone else would jump in on this thread and clarify the backup question that even I have - where did they all come from ...

  • How to recover lost video files after iOS 5 upgrade?

    I upgraded iTunes today to iOS 5, and lost all my video files from my iPod touch.  When I checked iTune on my laptop, I could still see some of the video file listed under the device name and library.  However, I see nothing on my iPOD.  when I tried to sync them back to iPod, I got nothing either.  when I tried to reload some of the video files, I could see the number of video files (movies) added up.  However, I still cannot find any of the files from my iPod touch.  it's very frustrating just to go through with all the attempts.  please help.  thanks.

    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(:

  • 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(:

  • I have lost my iphone 5 and after sometime I find it in my office but some one has lock it by Icoloud plz help me how to recover my phone

    Dear Friends
    I have lost my iphone 5 in my office  and after sometime I find it in my office in my back drawer but some one has lock it by ICloud plz help me how to recover my phone U have all details of my phone.

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

    if you cant remember the password of your back-up encryption, you can't back it up
    You will have to restore as a new phone
