  • I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

    can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
    So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
    It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
    Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
    The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.

    If you were not syncing the contacts in your phone with a contact manager or cloud service, there is no way to get them from the car to the phone other than manually re-entering them in the phone.

  • HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

    After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?  I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find.  Anyone know how?

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

    if you wanna get back your pictures and notes restore your friend iphone on your pc but make sure that your friend had the same name of your iphone and the same verison of the old sofware before you update , after that all your contact and note and everything are on your friend iphone , you can copy them in a way or another , I did this with my sister iphone , no matter what is the two iphone's generation the sofware verison is the trick xxx
    and for the contacts you can locate the contact folder at your pc , and copy them into your device one way or another xxx

  • HT201342 I have lost all my contacts after an upgrade?

    I know I have all my contacts in the cloud but I have not an idea how to put them back onto my iPhone 4S! I managed to get SOME back by syncing but there's loads missing, including some quite vital clinic direct numbers (I have MS and hate going through swivhboards!)please, if you can help, tell me how to do it as if I was a 5 year old! I need easy and succinct instructions, PLEASE HELP!

    If you have logged into icloud.com using a computer's browser and found all your contacts, then it should be easy to get them back.  On the device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off contacts.  Later turn them on again, that should download the contacts.  If it doesn't work, then on the same icloud screen, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again.
    If on the other hand, icloud.com is missing most of the contacts, then you'll have to rely on an icloud backup to restore from.  It's a bit tricky if you have backups turned on,
    Read this link, it covers how to recover from lost contacts from an icloud backup.

  • I have lost all my contacts after synching my iphone

    All the postings related to this topic seem to indicate that there is no easy solution to this. You can restore from back-up ... but I think i've synched my iphone after my contacts disappeared - so restoring from back up will do no good! iTunes should have a clearer message in future warning users that all contacts will be deleted if you press ok in that window that appeared during the first synch!
    Am very frustrated!
    Is anyone aware of any other solutions?

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
    So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).

  • I had to get a replacement phone and have lost my contacts. The old phone was backed up on my laptop and not iCloud is there any way I can get them back?

    I had to get a replacement phone and have therefore lost my contacts. Does anyone know how I can get them back considering that I backed up my old phone on my laptop and not iCloud?

  • I lost all the contacts after the conversion from MobileMe to iCloud ? What can I do now ?

    What can I do now ?

    Along with checking to see if the documents are still there in the browser, sounds like maybe iCloud turned off on the iPad. You can check in Settings.
    Go to Settings.
    On the left hand side, go to iCloud and make sure it is on and the "Document & Data" are ON.
    Then on the left hand side go to Pages and make sure "Use iCloud" is ON.
    Do the same for Numbers and Keynote.
    Maybe a long shot, but worth checking.

  • I have 2 computers, an Iphone 3gs and an IPad, is there any way to sync all devices so they are the same?

    I'm sure I asked this question before.  How can one sync their ipad, iphone with more than one computer.  I spend 6 mth in Canada and 6 months in the states and don't really want to haul around a desktop computer.  Any ideas?

    Mmm... Let's say the way that the devices in the US are the way you want them to be. Now you want to sync the device to a computer in Canada. This is the hard or easy part depending how you look at it. Yes, you can sync and make a backup for the devices to the computer in Canada. But you will lose the photos, music, and videos that you have in iTunes in the States. What you will need to do is copy the folder for those items onto a flash drive and place that folder in ITunes Canadian computer. Also you won't be able to use the app store accounts from on country to another.
    I'm sure there has to be an easier  way to do this and I hope someone will chime in. I'm just thinking off the top of my head on how to do this...

  • HT1386 i lost all my contacts in my iphone 4  how to sync conacts

    i lost all my contacts in my iphone 4  how to sync conacts through itunes

    Two way:
    - If they are in the calender ap/program on the computer just sync them from there back to the iPod.
    - Restore the iPod from backup. Make sure that autosyncing is off otherwise, when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod without the contacts.   To turnoff go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices anbd change the box that says: Prevent iPods....syncing".

  • I lost all my contacts on my Iphone 4s for no reason

    I lost all my contacts on my Iphone 4s, and now the store can't move the contacts over, the Iphone won't accept the contacts.

    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Info tab, scroll down to Contacts and select the contacts to sync.

  • I had two backups listed in the information about my icloud account.  I thought the newest backup would have everything.  Is there any way to retrieve what I deleted?  I lost contacts, calendar events, etc.

    I, apparently, mistakenly deleted an older backup to iCloud.  I thought the newest backup would have everything - the original infor + what had been saved recently.  So, I deleted the older backup.  Now it seems that contacts and calendar events have been removed from my phone and MacBook.  Is there any way to retrieve that?
    Thanks.

    And actually, no I am not sure  that the contacts aren't being restored, but then overwritten by iCloud because it has more recent data.  I don't know how to find that out.
    Thanks.
