I have lost all my contacts how can they be restored
Hi
My contacts got transfered to all my devices except my ipad. As they were not wanted on one iphone they were delteted from that device but fortunately icloud wasn't on on my ipad. So all of my contacts are still there but I cannot get them back onto my mac or my other iphone. I tried a sync and it showed all contacts being restored but when I checked the iphone about 100 out of 1000 were there. I also cannot find them on my mac.
Can anyone help?
Your contacts will be in whatever program you have selcted to sync.

I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me?
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back
Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it. -
My Iphone was playing up so I turned it off and when I turned it back on again it lost all my contacts-any idea how to retireve them?
If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??
Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases. -
I lost all my contacts - how can I retrieve them?
I cancelled my free trial to mobile me last night only to wake this morning and see that all my contacts and calendar were deleted from my iphone! I was not given any warning about this. I checked my itunes account on my computer and saw that they were no contacts there as well! How could they not be backed up on my computer when I just synced my iphone yesterday! This is shocking that they would be wiped out just because I did not want to pay a subscription! I frantically got on to the mobile me account and paid $99 that I did not have to reacctivate the account thinking they would give me back my contacts, but they are gone from there as well. This is killing me! There has got to be a way to retrieve them. I am angry about it all, but I just want my numbers and addresses back.
Contacts are also part of your iphone backup. So in case you have an old backup from your phone, try to restore from and see if your contacts will appear again. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete the contacts again.

I have lost all my contacts. Can't restore from Gmail.
So, I recently got an iPhone.
I transferred contacts from my android phone using a CardDav.
A while later I downloaded Cleandupes, an app to get rid of those pesky duplicates.
It trimmed my contacts from 1600 to 600 contacts. Great!
I deleted the app.
I then returned to my phone today and found that I have only 68 contacts left.
They are not on iCloud, they are not on iTunes. I tried to put in another CardDav to get them back from Gmail, to atleast start where I was a month or so back, but my phone says it already has this CardDav in action. Surely my Gmail still has my contacts!?
Any ideas what has gone wrong and how to solve it?
Thanks
AndyHello gooballala, thank you.
I went to the site and though my contacts were missing from there too, they allowed me to restore my contacts to the state they were in yesterday. No idea what has happened, but I think we're back to a good place.
Thanks very much for directing me that way.

Since upgrading my 3GS to IOS5, I have lost all my contacts, calendar inputs, and photos. How can I retrieve?
All media should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

Since I joined iCloud, I have lost all my "Contact" list, i.e. all my telephone numbers. How can I recover them?
Are you using iCloud as well as manually synchronizing via iTunes?
And, do you have backup? -
Please help me, i have lost all my contacts during a software update and have no idea how to retrieve them.
If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been keeping your contacts safe on your computer in Outlook or Address Book, or safe with a cloud service like Google.
Your contacts should be there safe and sounds ready to synch back to your iPhone.
Not using your phone as recommended and only using your phone as the sole place for contacts? Well, you've just learned a hard lesson. They're gone. -

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?
