I can only see my husbands contact list and not mine. Can I restore mine?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

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 my comtacts from pc back up when I do have two phones with one account?the i cloud has contacts from one of the phones, and the pc back up from the other?

Hi Silky-Milky!
If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:
Recovering iCloud or MobileMe data from iTunes backups for an iOS device

HT1414 How can I restore my CONTACTS from the icloud

How can I restore my CONTACTS from iCloud ??

You re-sync them by setting up your iCloud account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and turning on the 'contact sync', assuming that's what you were syncing them with before. If you were not syncing them with iCloud (syncing is NOT the same as backing up), then you will have to re-sync them from whatever you were syncing them with.

How can I get back contacts that I deleted?

Yesterday I setup my mom's account for icloud so she could have the find my iphone app on her and my brother's account. They both share the same account, so when I set it up all of my mom's contacts went onto my brothers phone. After I deleted her contacts off of his phone, all of her contacts were gone on her phone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get her contacts back because when I went onto icloud.com the contacts were also gone. I backed up her phone yesterday on icloud when she had her original contacts, but I'm afraid to erase all the content and settings on her phone and rely on the backup. Does the backup for icloud work? Or is there another way to find the contacts without erasing her content on her phone! PLEASE REPLY ASAP! Thanks

While I do believe that it's possible for a program to restore your contacts from an iTunes backup, (inapplicable in your iCloud backup situation) I doubt it can actually do it from the phone, once they are removed from the phone anything claiming to be able to recover them seems suspicious to me.

BB ID Can't Restore BBM contact on Z10

Why My BB ID can't restore BBM contact on my Z10? I've been doing a security wipe but it does not make a difference. I did a restore again but it was too long for loading Restore. Why is that?

Hello ErwinEdward and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your BBM Contacts restoring to your device.
Have you ever been able to use your BBM on your Z10 or are you transferring your contacts from another BlackBerry device?
Are you using WiFi or your data to do the BBM restore? Is there any error that displays or does it simply stick on restoring?
Thanks!

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.

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.

How can I restore the contacts on my iPhone 4s (from iTunes) without 'syncing' my phone?

I just got a new iPhone 4s about a month ago - backed everything up to iTunes before transferring onto my new phone, which worked great. However, my mail was not working correctly (gmail), and after trying to set it up multiple times, found out about the whole issue of gmail not supporting 'push' with the iphone anymore... Got that issue figured out, but part of trying to set up my gmail account found me syncing my contacts with my gmail contacts.
I have not kept gmail contacts up to date for a few years, and when my phone synced with google contacts, it basically wiped out all of my current contacts and replaced with outdated contacts from google. I know that my contacts should all be saved to iTunes, but I'm afraid to sync and have the same thing happen again. I don't want to restore my phone from iTunes if I don't have to, because I don't want to lose other things outside of my contacts that I've updated since the last time I backed up my phone.
Is there a way to restore just my contacts? I've got a lot of contact info/numbers over the years that would be very difficult to replace, and I don't fully understand the 'sync' process... Thanks for any help!

Syncing contacts is bi-directional. If you elect to sync contacts...again, selected on the Info pane in iTunes...whatever contacts you have in whatever supported application on your computer will be merged with what you have on your phone. If whatever application, on your computer, is empty, then all contacts on your phone will be erased. Never sync to an empty application.
Contacts are included in the iPhone backup, but the first thing done when you perform a sync is an iPhone backup. This means that whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup will be overwritten with whatever is currently on your phone.
So, if all you want are whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup, you need to re-read my initial post.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.
