how to restore contact to my iphone

How were they lost?
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air - with an Apple iCloud account depending on the iOS version your iPhone is running, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail email accounts.
Contacts are also included with the iPhone's backup which requires restoring the iPhone from the backup if the backup has not been overwritten since the contacts were lost on the iPhone.

    Try to backup with your old computer and your old iTunes put your contacts back to your iPhone. Aftervthat you sync with your new computer with right settings.

  • How to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6

    How and different easy way to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6.

    Greetings bhabaniprasad,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to transfer your contact information from your iPhone 5c to your iPhone 6. There are a few different ways to accomplish this. 
    First, if you are using iCloud on your iPhone 5c and Contacts are turned on, you simply need to sign in to that same iCloud account on your iPhone 6 and turn Contacts on. 
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    If you do not use iCloud, you can backup your iPhone 5c to iTunes and then restore your iPhone 6 from that backup. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • How to restore contacts from backup?

    My husband's contacts on his iPhone 4S somehow magically got deleted - so he claims.  If I plug his iPhone into my Mac how do i restore his contacts?

    I managed to work around this.  Not sure exactly what I did differently, but somehow I got Address Book to display separate "iCloud" and "On My Mac" lists, and then I could drag and drop groups from "On My Mac" to "iCloud".  Left a lot of duplicates, again, but the "Look for Duplicates" menu command cleaned them up.

    Where are your notes currently located? Perhaps they are in an email account such as Yahoo or GMail?

  • Restore contacts from the iPhone to our iMac?

    Recently the hard drive in our iMac crashed and needed replacements.  We want to restore the contacts from the iPhone.  How do we make that happen?

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you would have to enter a unique contact in your computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge.

    Inactive memory is your file system cache.
    The cache is trying to save you from expensive disk I/O (where expensive means in time and battery life).  Running that disk a lot drains your battery faster, and it is orders of magnitude slower than data already in RAM.  Unused RAM is a waste of money.
    Is your system running slow?  If so, then start looking at all those 3rd party additions you have loaded.
    Do you really need "2" virtual machines?  VirtualBox and Parallels?
    As mentioned above, get rid of the anti-virus software.  It is just eating system resources.
    Do you need MacFUSE.  It has been responsible for performance issues for some users (all of which may depend on what kind of file system format you are trying access).
    Do you need to run your own Samba server?
    You have OpenVPN and TunnelBrick.  Are they both needed?

  • How to get contact pictures off iPhone

    I saved a picture with most of my contacts on my iPhone. Now I'd like to get those pictures off of the iPhone and onto a computer. Can someone help?
    So you know, I took the contact pictures from directly within the contact editor. I've tried sync'ing to my computer, but I only get thumbnails on my computer when I want the whole picture (I'm going to transfer the pictures to another iPhone).
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    I have no clue, but don't think resolution is all that crucial.
    Even a low-res picture can help preserve an important memory. Or something that makes a good phone contact picture may likely also make a good avatar for flickr, twitter, etc, and it would not need to be full resolution for such purposes.
    Nothing taken with the iPhone is all that high-res anyhow. IIRC, pix assigned on the phone show up full-screen, so it's probably not as low-res as the teeny photo assigned on the desktop and transferred via sync.
    Incidentally, google turned up this method of retrieval, using the Mac:
    If you click "edit" on the contact's entry in Address Book and then double click inside their picture, it will appear as a somewhat bigger version, which you can copy with command-C. But it's a far cry from full-resolution.

    I can't test it, though, as I don't sync contacts, and really have no clue whether the iPhone sync contact pictures to Outlook on Windows, which I assume the OP uses.

  • How to save contacts FROM an iphone 3GS

    My main computer with which my iphone has been synced (grammar?) has irretrievably died. I have backups of most of my music, apps etc. can be downloaded again but I have about 500 contacts on my iphone which I need to keep and save on my new iMac. Not surprisingly when I plug in the iphone iTunes asks me if I want to erase it and sync with the new computer. Presumably if I do this then all my contacts will be lost.
    Is there some program I can use to save my contacts from the iphone to the Mac and then re-sync them back again onto the iphone?
    Thanks

    The iphone, by design, will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. That's what the message means you're getting. Since you've backed up your itunes library & added such to your new computer, this won't be a problem. Regarding your contacts & other data, do the following:
    If you restore all of your data(photos, music, apps) to your new computer, including your itunes library, you'll be OK. Remember, the itunes library sync is one way, computer>phone. Same with photos not in your camera roll, one way, computer>phone. Just do the following:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in Address Book & iCal. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    Your phone should look exactly like it did when you started, but now you're syncing to your new computer.
