I just updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and lost my contacts. How do I get them back?

This morning I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and everything is fine except most of my contacts are gone. The text messages and calls are still listed, but with phone numbers and no names. I went into my icloud and they are deleted from there too. How can I restore them all? They are all still in my address book on my computer.

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.

  • HT4623 When I updated the phone I lost my contacts, how can I get them back?

    We updated my husbands phone and all his contacts got erased. Can anyone tell me how to get them back!

    The iphone is designed to be sycned to your computer regularly.
    The contact will be in whatever program he has chosen to sync.  Sync them back to the iphone form there.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

    No.  Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
    Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

  • I just updated to the 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back?

    I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back? When I go to the iTunes store and look at the songs I hade before, it says I already purchased them, but when I go back to my library, they are all gone. I thought it was just removing the songs from my phone, but now I have no music on my phone or PC. Please help!

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

  • I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • Just downloaded Maverick and lost the apps I purchased - Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without repurchasing?

    I just dowloaded Maverick and lost the Apps I purchased:  Notes and Bejeweled 3.  How do I get them back without paying for them again?

    Thanks so much for being out there for me - someone I can talk to.  I went to purchases and unfortunately it is no longer there. I dowloaded the Notes App again for free.  I will just buy Bejeweled again.    I guess the price of downloading maverick was losing my beloved video game.  But you have put my mind at ease - I appreciate knowing I did all I could do to recover it.

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

  • Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

    I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

    The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
    Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?

  • I just restored my phone to a previous backup, and I am now missing my itunes and music applications. How do I get them back?

    I recently quit my job. When i worked there I was using an iPhone 5 but had to give it up when I left. I have an iPhone 4s and wanted to backup my first phone on to this one.
    1) I backed up my iPhone 5 to itunes.
    2) I plugged in my iPhone 4s and couldnt do a restore because the firmware was out of date. It instructed me to do it as a new phone and then do a buckup. So I set it up as a new phone.
    3) Updated firmware on 4s
    4) Restored phone to my iPhone 5 backup.
    Now everything went well except Im missing some apps. So I have 2 questions:
    Q1) What apps come with the Iphone 4s, what I cant get out of the app store?
    Q2) How do I get them back? I am missing iTunes and Music already that I know of and I want to use the phone for music of course.
    Thanks, the help would be great

    Reset my homescreen settings and got it to work. Thanks

  • TS1347 syncing contacts deleted iphone contacts how do i get them back

    I syncing my iphone contacts with outlook and after the sync completed it wiped out all my iphone contacts and only synced my outlook contacts. lost over 300 records how do i get them back?

    With the first sync with an address book app on your computer that includes at least one contact and the same for the iPhone, a merge prompt is provided, which you want to select. The other option is to replace on the iPhone with what is available in the address book app on your computer.
    If this was the first sync for this data, sounds like you did not select the merge prompt when provided.
    Contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again, don't. Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step.
