I lost all of my contacts after update

I lost all of my contacts after installing new software. How can i retrieve them back...or can i retrieve them??

If you have an Icloud backup, sign in to your account. It will reload your contacts. If over a computer, use a previous device backup, or in the sync menu of your devce, go to mail and contacts and select the info you want to copy to your iphone, if you have the contact info on your computer. If by chance dont have icloud, or a previous backup to itunes, then I'm afraid that your contacts are gone. This is why I went to Icloud as soon as I got ios 5. Hope this helps

  • I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

    I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

    If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

  • HT1386 i lost all of my contacts after updating my phone

    I have a iphone 3gs and I have never updated my phone until today.  I thought I synced everything but I have lost my notes and contacts can anyone HELP me get them back

    If you haven't been using your phone as recommended by synching your contacts to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service then they're gone.
    Now would be a really good time to read the User Guide and learn how to properly use your phone.  Used properly, you should never have data loss again.

  • HELP!! Lost some of my contacts after update to iOS 7.1.2

    I lost most of my contacts after updating to iOS 7.1.2 last night!  I can't see the contact in my contact list but when I text/call they are there...what is going on and how do I restore this to see all contacts?

    It never happened to me, but try to Reset the iPhone by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears and ignore the red slider.

    This has happened to me too!
    I have lost all text messages, photos, notes and calendar dates. Also some of the apps.
    I think it was my second time of syncing. Also I tunes keeps opening when no apple prod is connected, and a dialogue box tells me it cannot find the I phone. When it is not connected?..
    Any news would be good news

  • Lost all BB Messenger contacts during update to version 5

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8520, firstly. I simply wanted to transfer some pictures to my laptop, and then I see something about an update for the Desktop Manager. There also happened to be the update to version 5.
    Now silly me, I didn't make a back-up as I didn't know that this update would remove all my info.... I assumed it was just the applications (which I can install again) but I realized I've lost all my BB contacts. (Of course I didn't back up that info either.. geez...)
    What I want to know is because I've registered before, shouldn't my info still show up in my contacts' lists? Isn't there a way for me to restore my contacts without adding them all over again? And can't they still msg me?

    Hi,
    What do you mean by the contacts backup was emailed to you?
    I took out the battery to lend to someone else and put in one that was totally empty but immediately charged it. When I restarted the bb, it didn't recover any of my contacts. I've tried to restore through the bb desktop software but that doesn't restore my contacts.
    I'm DESPERATE and would really appreciate any insight you could give me!!!

  • Lost all my purchased music after update!

    I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

    Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone.  If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone.  Music has never been included in the iPhone backup.  (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
    ------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my  iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?

  • I LOST ALL OF MY CONTACTS after ios7, and itunes backup didnt have them

    I backed up my phone. Upgraded to ios7 the next day all of my contacts disappeared. I plugged my phone back into itunes to get my contacts back and they weren't there. Is there anyway to get my contacts back?

    If you have an Icloud backup, sign in to your account. It will reload your contacts. If over a computer, use a previous device backup, or in the sync menu of your devce, go to mail and contacts and select the info you want to copy to your iphone, if you have the contact info on your computer.

  • Lost all my paid apps after updating to iOS4!  Apps not in backup!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch (3 gen) from some OS 3.xxx to iOS4. After 1-2 hours, I got an error message saying that the backup failed. I looked on my iPod touch and saw that all of my apps were deleted except 4 random ones. Thinking that my apps were safe in my backup, I checked in iTunes. My free apps were still there but my 2 paid apps were gone! They were Doodle Jump and Ninja Fruit. Although it's only $2 dollars - I lost my money! Will Apple give my 2 paid apps or money back? I had all my updates done so my apps were iOS4 OK.
    One little note. My iPod touch was jailbroken which makes me worried. All I got from Cydia was Pokemon and Themes. Did this contribute to the problem? Yet, a lot of people jailbreak and don't have a problem. But, I am certain that I paid for those 2 apps. I even got physical invoices in the mail.

    "What if all my data is actually lost?"
    What data? Your contacts, calendars, etc should be synced to your computer, you can just sync it right back.
    " What if Apple bills me again?"
    For the apps? I gave you a link to Apple's instructions on how to download apps again for free. Follow them.
    " I'm afraid to click "OK". =("
    Don't know how to help you there.
    "I also don't have any music either. "
    Your music should be on your computer as well ( in itunes). That is how you got on the ipod in the first place, is it not? Just sync it back to the ipod
    " Is the iOS4 update supposed to restore your ipod to initial settings?"
    It does not normally do that ( at least in my experience), but you should always make sure that everything is copied to your computer and backed up before you install an update or do a restore.

  • I lost all my text messages after updating to iOS6... PLEASE HELP!!

    I just upgraded to iOS6 on my iPhone 4 and all my text messages are gone. I always do a backup before any major OS update. Everything is there (Pictures, Contacts, Voicemail, etc.) except for my text messages. After searching around, it seems like a bug that many people are experiencing. I have still yet to find a fix? Anyone able to get them back?

    I dont think there is a fix available.
