How do i retrieve contacts from a privious backup in icloud?

Are you sure you have a backup in icloud? It wont let you select one until after the restore has been started.
Once you go though the setup process during the restore, it will prompt you for your apple id, it has to be the same one that's assciated with the icloud backup.

  • I got a replacement ipad. how do I restore it from a previous backup on icloud?

    I am trying to restore a previous backup on icloud from a previous ipad2 (that got dropped and shattered). How do I do this? It is not letting me select the backup to restore. I had to upgrade the iOS from 6.0 to 6.1.3. Any help is appreciated.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.

    Hi,
    How to restore one table from the previous backup in 9.2.0.8 version.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What is the table you want to restore?
    Using export/import is supported with Oracle Apps database (for full database exp/imp, and certain schemas like custom ones). For the Apps schema, I believe it is not supported due to object dependencies and integrity constraints.

  • How do  transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to icloud?

    How do i transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to iCloud?

    No it won't. As far as i know there is no ways to have contacts synced with both Google and iCloud at the same time. Linked card concept is just a means to help you organise cards representing a same identity.
    When you make changes to a card, it will push the change to the account that this card is synced.
    Hope this help.

  • How can I restore contacts from a previous back up?

    I accidentally erased my contacts from my iPhone. I can see previous backups on my iTunes preferences. But the only option is to delete them. Does anyone know how to restore one of those backups?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  have you failed to sync your contacts to your computer?

  • How do i restore contacts from a previous icloud backup?

    Somehow - half of my contacts have disappeared.
    I turned icoloud backup off , but the most recent backup is missing those contacts as well.
    i am pretty sure that the previous backup have the full contacts that i want to restore.
    Don't want to restore the entire phone.
    how can this be done ? will icloud drive help ?

    If you turned iCloud backup off and deleted the backup, you won't have an earlier iCloud backup to restore from.  Your most recent backup, if you didn't delete it, may have your contacts if it was made before the contacts were lost.  However, you have to follow this process to restore contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  Otherwise the recovered contacts will be deleted as soon as your device reconnects to iCloud (making you think that they weren't included in the backup).

  • How to restore an iPhone from a previous backup using iTunes

    Hi all, I don't have a question - but merely a story of the solution I found to restore a previous backup from my wife's iPhone 5c that had some problems. Long story short, something got jammed with her Exchange email account settings and she lost all of her contacts and emails. Everything was fine on her work server (accessing the account using Outlook or the web app worked just fine). For whatever reason, this would not be fixed by deleting and recreating the Exchange account on the iPhone for some reason.
    First let me say that this would never have worked if I didn't have a recent, intentional, manual backup of her phone. Moral of the story: plug your phone in to your computer and back up regularly. However, the trouble always seems to arise (much like it did in this case): with an automatic backup overwriting a good file with bad data.
    My last known good backup was on Feb 17th. After that date, something went wrong on the phone. When I connected it to the computer in an effort to restore it from that backup, I was befuddled by the fact that the first thing iTunes does is immediately back up the phone, which automatically overwrites the 'Latest Backup' with today's date (the 20th). I tried restoring the backup thinking to myself that iTunes would fish out the second most recent, but when it was finished I got a restored version of the phone that was broken, not the working copy from the 17th.
    Before starting this process it's important to know what on which date your last good backup completed.
    I should note that in my study I learned that there is a fundamental difference between backing up and syncing. The former handles all the settings and iOS stuff, the latter is all about apps and music (and stuff). This knowledge proved useful later.
    I'm using an iMac with OSX Yosemite 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50, and a USB backup drive filled daily, courtesy of Time Machine.
    The process looked like this:
    1. Unplug the phone, double tap the home button and quit all the apps, and turn it off. It's probably not necessary to shut it down entirely, but that's what OCD does - it makes you do irrational things.
    2. Quit all the computer's programs, and restart. Again, the wonder of OCD.
    3. Once restarted, don't open iTunes. Mouse up to the 'Go' menu in the Finder top bar. Click on 'Go'. Hold down the 'Option' key and you'll notice the 'Library' submenu magically appears. Click 'Library'.
    4. A Finder > Library window will open. Double click on 'Application Support'. Double click on 'MobileSync'. You should be staring at a Finder window with a folder called 'Backup'. Don't double click it.
    5. From here, launch Time Machine from the Dock or from Mission Control. Ooh and aaahh as the Finder window magically animates itself into file-folder order.
    6. Scan back in time to the date after your last good backup. Click 'Restore'. It will ask you if you want to keep or overwrite the 'Backup' folder. I overwrote mine. It was a 25GB folder, so the Time Machine recovery took a while.
    7. While the recovery was going on, I learned of a way (here) to use the Terminal application (inside Mission Control > Other) to disable the automatic backup function in iTunes. For sake of not mis-copying the Terminal commands and giving you broken code, I suggest you refer to that page - plus, you should give them kudos and share their work because frankly, I'm not smart enough to have written it. Simply copy in the 'disable' command in to Terminal, wait a moment, and a new Terminal command line will pop-up. That means it's done and good. I thought I might get some fireworks, but alas.
    8. With the backups turned off, the phone unplugged, and the Time Machine restore complete, I quit Time Machine and launched iTunes.
    9. I plugged in the phone. It booted up. It then synced, but did not backup (which was perfect). The 'Latest Backup' field thankfully read February 17th. Joy. I clicked 'Restore Backup...' and the process began. The phone successfully recovered and I was elated.
    10. Now recovered and fully functional again (contacts and mail both intact), I again unplugged the phone and then quit iTunes. I returned to the Terminal application, and punched in the other code that causes the automatic backup to resume. I relaunched iTunes, plugged in a different iPhone (to test objectively), and it both synced and backed up. Huzzah.
    To be honest, I won't be following this thread nor replying to questions if any arise. I just thought I should share the solution and thank all of the people who posted stuff along the way that helped me out of a jam. Thank You.

    Hi austinflorida,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand you want to restore your iOS backups to the new iTunes installation.  Take a look at the information below on how you can accomplish this.
    If you backed your iOS device up to iTunes, back up your devices on the new computer or manually transfer the backups from your old computer. The backups belong in:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and then choose Run. Type %appdata%and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start, and then in the search bar type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, move the cursor to the top-right, click on the magnifying glass charm, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • How can I import contacts from my iPhone into my iCloud account?

    Hi. I synchronized my iPhone with my eMac, and as a result all my eMac contacts were transfered to my iPhone, while I was seeking just the contrary. Can someone tell me how I can do this?

    If all of the contacts you want in iCloud are on your phone,* I would do the following:
    As a precaution, download a copy of the contacts currently in your iCloud account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.  This probably will not be used.
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use the app to back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Open the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear icon on the bottom right, in the window that opens scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  Confirm that there are no more contacts on your phone, on icloud.com or on your Mac.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
    Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Contacts back on.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Confirm that your contacts now appear on your phone, as well as on icloud.com and your Mac.
    * If all of the contacts you want are not on your phone, please explain which device contains the master list of contacts that you want in iCloud.

  • How do I load contacts from an exchange to the iCloud?

    I previously had an android phone and all of my contacts were loaded in to my google mail account.  I set up an exchange to have all of my contacts go to my new iPhone.  How do I now transfer the contacts in the exchange to put them in the iCloud?  Thank you.

    I wish someone would post how to make this happen. I've been looking for hours and can't seem to find out how to move my gmail contacts to itunes so I can load them on my new iPhone. Seems like this would be a popular issue to resolve, but I see no resolutions. Frustrating!!
