How to restore the contact?

Normally, I just sync my iPhone with my iTune, but I wrongly click 'sync with Outlook' recently and all contacts of my iPhone was blank. How can I restore my previous contacts?

Was Outlook empty? If so, that's why your contacts were deleted from your phone. However, your contacts should be stored in outlook. Contacts on the iphone are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
Do this: If you have not synced since your contacts were deleted, you most likely can restore them from your iphone backup. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using windows). Put one unique contact in Outlook, this entry can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that Outlook not be empty. Connect your phone, itunes running, DO NOT SYNC, right click in the device pane & select restore from backup. If prompted to create another backup, decline. When finished, verify your contacts have been restored to your phone. If so, sync to restore your itunes content, you'll get a popup regarding your contacts asking to merge or replace, select MERGE.

  • How to restore the Contacts icon in my Gmail account?

    I just realize that my contacts are not being updated from my Gmail account. When I went to see my Gmail account settings the Contacts icon was missing from my iPhone Gmail account. When I called the Apple support I was advised to delete the account and recreate it again. I deleted the account, restarted the phone and then hard reset the phone. No luck. The icon is still missing!

  • HT204150 I have 2 iphones registered under same account, but both phones had different contacts in them, somehow icloud duplicated, exchanged them. and deleted could not restore the contacts, how do I restore it? plz help

    I have 2 iphones registered under same account, but both phones had different contacts in them, somehow icloud duplicated, exchanged them, and I turned off the icloud on one of them, while doing that it asked me if I want to keep them on my phone or not. I pressed the one saying not to keep them. I deleted all of them and could not restore the contacts, how do I restore it? when I sign in to my icloud account online it only shows the contacts that were on the other phone. plz help

    I access a personal iPhone and iPad, and a business iPhone with the same Apple ID.
    The iPhone's passcode lock feature is completely separate from another iPhone or iOS device.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. If some apps were downloaded with one Apple ID and then a new Apple ID is created, in order to download an app update that was installed with the original Apple ID requires using that Apple ID and password.

  • How can i restore the contacts that were on my iphone before i synched?

    I have accidentally deleted my entire contact list/address book from my iphone while synching my iphone to the computer. It has been replaced with all contacts from other users that synch to this computer. How can I restore the contacts I created on my phone?

    I pop up in these forums perhaps 3-4 times a year since about 10 years ago. How disappointing. It seems that all the forums here are mainly quite useless. Many have like 900 views and only 3-4 replies; and these replies more often than not, are people sharing the same problem Actual solutions are hard to find. Shouldn't Apple be embarrassed about this and perhaps do something about it. Consider this one as an example. It has
    893 Views  and only4 Replies. Out of these 4 replies opnly 1 is actually a possible answer/solution, which unfortunately (as in many otgher cases) does not provide the solution needed.

  • How can I restore the contacts of outlook?

    Very stupid happened. Edited all my contacts through outlook. On their phone removed to immediately burn through recent outlook. Connect your phone to WM (I have Vista, and I can't use ActivSync ), and WM synchronizes contacts so that they aren't only
    copied on the phone, and remove them from outlook. 
    Can I do backup outlook? 
    How can I restore the contacts and is it possible?

    You're that to far gone with it, try to restore the backup to your phone. 
    Rolled back to the last restore point synchronization.
    Or using software, Outlook Backup Toolbox 
    He is able to: 
    1) Restore accounts Microsoft Outlook (with password) 
    2) Backup and restore Microsoft Outlook Message 
    3) To reset Microsoft Outlook

  • How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

    How can I restore the Contact shortcut ,please?

    There are no "shortcuts" on the iPhone so I'm guessing you mean you've mislaid the Contacts app. By default, it's in the Utilities folder. If it's not there, look in all the other folders and home screens. Once you find it, you can move it anyhere you want by tapping and holding it until it wiggles, that dragging it to your preferred location.
    If you want to reset all of your icons back to the default layout, Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. After you do that, it will be once again in the Utilities folder.
    Note: You can also access Contacts through the Phone app.

  • Help!!! My husband by accident synced his account under my account and has merged all of our contacts.  In the process of fixing the mixup has deleted contacts on both phones.  How do I restore the contact list from the original contact list.

    I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
    VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
    1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
    2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

  • My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

    My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black).  Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks.  I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF.  I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those.  I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card.  I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

    Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want.  Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums.  Other than that you might have to input them manually.  Mary

  • After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

    After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
    I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
    Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
    There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

    An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
    If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    The relevant section is:
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
