i lost all my contacts in my iphone 4  how to sync conacts through itunes

Two way:
- If they are in the calender ap/program on the computer just sync them from there back to the iPod.
- Restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that autosyncing is off otherwise, when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod without the contacts.   To turnoff go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices anbd change the box that says: Prevent iPods....syncing".

  • HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?

    All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
    You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.

  • HT1386 ive lost all my contacts, help me

    ive lost all my contacts after updating to 5.1, then i restored and now ive lost everything

    Check for locally created backups on your PC using the free version of the iPhone Backup Extractor software. Then just retrieve your data and import it back to your iPhone. Cheers!

  • I lost all my contacts from my iphone

    I used iphone explorer to install ipa files and third party themes and applications in my iphone.
    But during deleting a folder in directory var/mobile/library,,,,some important folders got deleated and
    when i used my iphone i got to know that all my contacts,messages and notes were deleted.
    I searched the net for the solution and got to know about Iphone backup extractor. I installed iphone backup
    installer on my pc and tried to get back my contacts by extacting itunes backup files. Meanwile i connected
    my iphone to my pc and itunes sync started. Due to this i lost the itunes backup files in which contacts were
    saved and new itunes backup files got saved in itunes backup folder. When i treid to extract backup using
    iphone backup extractor, it extracted the latest backup and i still diddn't get my contacts and messeges. Then
    i tried to restore my iphone through itunes,,it also restored the iphone to the new backup files.
    My contacts are very urgent. I need them at any cost
    NOW ANYONE CAN HELP ME.
    PLEASE GIVE SOME SOUTION.
    I AM WAITING

    thanks munas for your help.
    you are right that itunes backupo folder contains few backups not only the recent one.
    but i am unable to read or extract the second last backup files which i actually want.
    My iphone last sync took place on 2nd May 2011,,,,and my itunes backup folder contains
    backup files of date 2nd MAy 2011,,,,25 April 2011 ,,,and a few more dated till 2nd April...
    Now only backup files of 2nd May 2011 are  accesible,,,,,,but i want to access backup files
    of date 25 April 2011 because these are backup files of the sync when i had all my contacts
    , messeges and notes.
    DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION NOW??
    BUT THANKS ONCE AGAIN MUNAS ,,ATLEAST U LISTENED TO ME!!
    I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY

  • Lost all my contacts!! Iphone 4

    Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS 7 regularly all my contacts disapear... Each Time i must connect to iTunes ans sync with iCloud, but is there one solution for stop definitly this problem?? Thanks for answers

    I have the same problem. It has happened twice in the last week. Nobody here has actually given a solution to the problem.
    Here are the particulars.
    -iPhone 4S
    -iOS version 7.0.4
    -Seems to only happen when I am home and the iPhone is synching with WiFi.
    -The problem begins with a dialog window on the phone that requests that I re-enter my iCloud credentials.
    -Within a few minutes/hours, all of the iCloud information is gone (contacts, calendars)
    -Email seems to still work for the iCloud and all other email accounts (gmail, hotmail, etc.)
    -The only way to get back the information is to re-boot the phone.
    -Prior to the dialog window, nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
    -I am a little OCD, so I permanently close all running programs except for Mail, Messages, and Phone.
    -Programs running prior to the problem could be many but typically I use Waze while driving home, and I would have closed it after I pull in to the garage. (My iPhone gets WiFi in the garage)
    -The biggest drag is that when the contacts get cleared, any personal ringtones, or other identifiers get permanently cleared and have to be reassigned. That is the most annoying part.
    What else does anyone need to know? It seems to be a thing, so when (and I'm sure it will repeat) it happens again I will throroughly check all suggestions.
    I know how to fix it. I would like to know how to prevent it from ever happening again.
