lost all contacts how do I recover them

If you've been using the device as designed, the contacts are synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Simply sync them back.

I updated and now I've lost my contacts, how do I recover them?

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program/cloud service that you have been syncing.
If you have failed to sync you contacts then they are likely gone.

Lost All Notes, How do I recover them?

Hello I use my notes in my iphone all the time. I recently backed up all my notes on my imac in mail. or at least I thought I did. They were in my mail. Yesterday I synced my iphone again to erase some songs. A couple hours later I look at my iphone notes and there werent any! I dont know if they were erased in the sync or when I wasnt looking at my phone and accidentally deleted them all at once or what.??    They were there for months now there gone. I plugged my iphone in and went to my mail where I thought they would still be. Much to my surprise they were gone from there too. Maybe they erased immediately when I plugged in my iphone and there werent any notes. I dont know. But is there any way to get them back?   I have hundreds of important notes in there that I need. Please Help
                      I dont think I have time machine running. I dont really understand how it works                 Thanks anyone for any help

Update.   So I was told I could plug in my iphone, Hold control and click and select restore to backup. Thje only problem with this is the only backup options it gives me are from last year. I thought it was supposed to backup with every sync. I have definitely synced a few times since last year 2010 (which is how my notes were erased) but it only gives me the two options form 2010.   Anyone have any suggestions or reasons why it may not have backed up with each sync or how I can find all the backups from 2011 or are they gone?    Thanks

I have lost all playlists, how do I recover originals. I attempted the troubleshoot fix of using the Smart Playlist, but I did not utilize a smart playlist.

Lost all my contact. how do i recover them

i lost all my contact. how do i recover them

Do you back up your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud? How often do you sync your iPhone to your computer? Your contacts could be on your Mac or PC.

Has anyone accidentally deleted contacts how do I recover them

Has anyone accidentally deleted contacts how do I recover ?

From a backup. If you are using Time Machine on an Apple computer, simply open Contacts on your Mac, then open Time Machine and go back to a time when the deleted contacts were present.

My blackberry curve 8520 has lost all my pictures in the lost.dir folder how do I recover them

I have a blackberry curve 8520 and it has moved all of my pictures on my memory card into a folder called LOST.DIR (I`m not 100% sure they have moved there but I found a lot of files in there that seem to be my pictures) I am not sure how I can recover these files, please help! I`m not sure if it has something to do with the fact that a few weeks ago I was taking a picture and a pop up came up and said something along the line of there wasn`t enough memory on my SD card so pictures will save on device memory and I clicked yes. I`ve taken out the SD card and battery several times and that hasn`t worked. I took someone else`s advice an moved the folder into the DCIM folder where I was able to rename one file to . jpeg but I cannot open it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tosin29188,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac? Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

HT4859 I turned on icloud and lost my contacts, how do I get them back?

I upgraded my system software then was asked if I want to use icloud to backup. I said yes and all my contacts disappeared. Where did they go and how do I get them back?

I had this problem post 6.1. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I'd just recently changed my password after being convinced I'd been hacked, due to being told I was entering my password wrongly, repeatedly by iCloud / iTunes. It turns out my iCloud account on my Settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars was listed as Inactive. Putting in my details, turning off Contacts over iCloud (thus deleting them) and turning them back on again, repopulated my contacts from iCloud with numbers attached to them.

Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them

I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts. How can I find them?

There are two likely answers:
1. Your iPhone has too much storage being used. Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
2. If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud). You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now.

I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?

I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?

If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.

Photos in iPhoto have lost "Places". How do I recover them?

I spent many hours add "Places" to our Alaska Vaction Photos. When I went to show them to family and friends, the "Places" information had disappered. What method can I use to recover them?

What system and iPhoto versions are you current running?
Did you upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

After installinf ios6 I lost all contacts, I could not get them back so I hit restore. This restored the phone to 4 months back. The phone did not give me the option to restore from the cloud. is there anyway I can now restore from the cloud?

How many backups are in the cloud? When I installed ios6 it backed up to the cloud, since then I restored the phone trying to regain my contacts. At this point the used the last backup I performed on the computer 5 months ago. I never had the oppertunity to restore from the cloud. Is there anyway I can now restoe from the cloud and would it have the backup that was performed when I installed ios6?

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
