HT204150 i downloaded icloud and it deleted all my contacts

how do i fix this? i tried turning off icloud contacts i even went online the only names it shows are the names of 5 people i added after it deleted all my contacts.. i want to get my contacts restored to how they where before i installed icloud.. please help!!!!

It looks like you didn't do a backup of of the device just before upgrading the iOS.  Have you ever make an icloud backup or one through iTunes?  If so, reset the device and restore from the backup.  If you currently have photos on the device, be sure to first sync them to a computer, otherwise a restore will very likely not return the photos, even though it should.

    The iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM card. If they were truly on the SIM, re-import them from the SIM.

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

  • How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

    How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
    Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll. 

  • HT1689 I downloaded an upgrade and it deleted all my contacts, How do I get them back??

    I downloaded an update for my iphone, I thought I backed up my phone, but I guess I may have done it wrong because when the download was complete, all my apps, music and ALL MY CONTACTS WERE GONE!! I figured out how to get my apps and music back, but where are all my contacts?? I'm freaking out, I have 17years worth of all my freinds, family and business associates GONE??? I went into my phone settings and tried to import my SIM contacts (which they were on there before, and now their not on my SIM either) WHAT IS GOING ON??? Why would this update delete from my SIM too?? I also tried to call Apple to get help, and the automated system told me I had to buy a service agreement to talk to a support person? SERIOUSLY??? This is rediculous... Can someone please help me?

    The iphone stores nothing at all to the SIM.  There were never any contacts on your SIM.
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  You should have been sync the contacts to your computer (Outlook/Address Book) from the very beginning.  If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.

  • Help!  I synced my iPhone and it deleted all my contacts!

    I have iPhone 4 and Office 2010. All my contacts were saved in Outlook 2010. I synced my iPhone on Monday and when it was done, I noticed it had deleted all of my 400+ contacts, both in the iPhone and in Outlook, and replaced them with just three contacts I had added over the weekend. How can this happen and how can I get the contacts back? Someone please help!

    If you did not sync after your contacts were deleted, your backup contains your contacts and events. A backup is made every time you sync, but each time you sync, the old backup is replaced with the new one.
    Restoring is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    About the content of the backup and more: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If your contacts are still on your computer, use the option to replace the contact info on the phone during the next sync. You can find these settings in the info pane, advanced section when you connect your phone.

  • HT204053 I changed my ID account on my IPhone so I could get the ICloud and I lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    I changed my ID account on my ICloud and lost all my contacts.  will they come back when I resync?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What do you mean by changed your ID. Is it a new account, or did you just change your address under the same account.

  • IPhone keeps freezing up and then deleting all my contacts

    Shortly after I got my iPhone THIS year only 5 months ago. It has been freezing up on me and booting me out of apps. First it was my Facebook app, then my pictures, then my settings and then ultimately my messages. I end up having to cut my phone of by sliding the power button off. But when I go to turn it back on, ALL my contacts are deleted! This has happened once before and now again. I have version 5.0.1 and have heard of others with different versions doing the same thing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

        Lacmoser, let's get your Droid X2 to work as it should. As B33 mentioned, clearing the system cache can help a lot of issues. This should not erase any data, but it is still safe to make sure your info is backed up first. To clear system cache:
      • Power the phone off
      • Power On while holding down the Home key
      • When exclamation point icon appears press BOTH volume keys
      • Use volume keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and tap the power button to select
      • Wait for it to finish and select reboot system
    If no change, we may need to check to see if specific applications are causing this issue. Boot your phone into safe mode http://vz.to/17LHsYg for awhile to test if this issue is still occurring. Safe mode disables third party apps. If this issue is no longer happening in safe mode, then try removing some recently installed applications.
    Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • I have had no choice but to reconfigure my computer and couldn't back up my itunes, how do i do this in new zealand? I have downloaded icloud and it shows all my purchases back to 2009 how do i download these again?

    I have had no choice but tok reconfigure my computer and couldn't back up my itunes, how do i do this in new zealand, i have downloaded i cloud but this does not seem to work due to being outside the USA.

    Currently you can only re-download music purchases in the US, it hasn't been rolled out to the rest of the world yet. Have you not got a backup of your purchases on external or flash drives or CDs/DVDs ? If so then you can copy that back onto your computer and add them to iTunes.

    Your iPhone is designed to sync contacts with a contact manager on your computer or iCloud. You can re-sync them from there.
