I lost all my contacts from my iphone

I used iphone explorer to install ipa files and third party themes and applications in my iphone.
But during deleting a folder in directory var/mobile/library,,,,some important folders got deleated and
when i used my iphone i got to know that all my contacts,messages and notes were deleted.
I searched the net for the solution and got to know about Iphone backup extractor. I installed iphone backup
installer on my pc and tried to get back my contacts by extacting itunes backup files. Meanwile i connected
my iphone to my pc and itunes sync started. Due to this i lost the itunes backup files in which contacts were
saved and new itunes backup files got saved in itunes backup folder. When i treid to extract backup using
iphone backup extractor, it extracted the latest backup and i still diddn't get my contacts and messeges. Then
i tried to restore my iphone through itunes,,it also restored the iphone to the new backup files.
My contacts are very urgent. I need them at any cost
NOW ANYONE CAN HELP ME.
PLEASE GIVE SOME SOUTION.
I AM WAITING

thanks munas for your help.
you are right that itunes backupo folder contains few backups not only the recent one.
but i am unable to read or extract the second last backup files which i actually want.
My iphone last sync took place on 2nd May 2011,,,,and my itunes backup folder contains
backup files of date 2nd MAy 2011,,,,25 April 2011 ,,,and a few more dated till 2nd April...
Now only backup files of 2nd May 2011 are accesible,,,,,,but i want to access backup files
of date 25 April 2011 because these are backup files of the sync when i had all my contacts
, messeges and notes.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION NOW??
BUT THANKS ONCE AGAIN MUNAS ,,ATLEAST U LISTENED TO ME!!
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY

I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s. how do I get them back?

I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back???? I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they? Why did they go? How can I get them back?

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

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".

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation. Can anyone tell me how to get the information back

I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation. Can anyone help me?

You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Connect phone to computer.
Select Restore.
Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

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:

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

HT5824 HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted. If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them. Let me know if that's the case.
