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,

    If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

  • HT4623 I just updated my iphone 5 to the latest update: 6.1.2  After update was complete, I can no longer connect with my local network, apps no longer are transfered to my phone.  I lost all of my apps and music and can't get them from my computer to my

    Has anyone else had trouble with update 6.1.2 for I phone?  After the update, I can't get back on my network (password is correct), ICLOUD doesn't transfer my downloads, nothing seems to work.  It saved my calandar and address book, but lost all of my apps and music (except for a few songs, figure that out) and I can't get them back.  Any suggestions?

    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.

  • After making a phone call, I went to make another and all my contacts were gone. How can i get them back?

    I made one phone call this morning and after hanging up i went to the contacts library and all my contacts were gone. I have unfortunately not got a backup (this isn't my phone its for a friend) and so I have no backup of my contacts. I have already tried importing contacts from the sim but only a very small few contacts are on the sim so im still missing over 90% of my contacts. How can i fix this? This phone is an iphone 4s running ios 7

    nope just set it to do so for future purposes but i have no recorded backup of any contacts

  • I lost bookmarks in upgrade to Yosemite. How can I get them from Time Machine backup?

    When I upgraded to Yosemite, I lost all of my bookmarks in Safari on my MacBook Air, iPhone 6, and 2nd or 3rd generation iPad. I tried to retrieve them by going into my backups in Time Machine, and I could not restore from the Time Machine back up of Safari. Help me to know what I can do?

    Hi - click on the address bar and check in the drop down menu. Some bookmarks are there.

  • Lost all my emails in my inbox, how can I get them back

    I am told I can contact Firefox and they can put them back. Is that so, and how do I contact Firefox?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I realized that if I went to Internet Explorer, I could get my emails back. You go to delete and there is a choice to recover deleted emails. When I did thatl 33 emails went into deleted. Then I just picked the ones that go into my inbox and delete the rest.

  • All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??

    All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.

    There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
    Windoze or Mac?
    Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer?

    You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

    Did you fail to import your photos before updating?  If so, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.  If that fails then they are gone.  You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
    Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating?  If so, then you will have to redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.
