I lost my Contacts and Notes

I wanted to switch my e-mail account on my iPhone 5 so I deleted my current account and added the new mail account. The account I deleted from my phone is the same as my iTunes /iCloud account, and it appears that is how I deleted my phone contacts. I have confirmed my contacts and notes are still tied to my iTunes / iCloud account ID. How can I restore my contacts and notes to my phone from my iTunes /iCloud account?  I think if I synch my phone with my computer it will delete my information on my computer.

Hey Pros4ever!
If you have simply deleted the iCloud account from your phone, then you will want to sign into your iCloud account again by following the instructions below:
iCloud: iCloud account

On your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud.

  • New iPod lost all contacts and notes

    I got a new iPod which iTunes recognized without a problem except I lost all my contacts and notes when I switched to the new iPod. How do I restore them? I did not have them in my mail program because I only used webmail. I need to put all the contacts from the old iPod backup onto my new iPod. Anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    You could try restoring from the backup of your old ipod:

    Ipod touch is designed to be synced with a compatible program on your computer. If you are not doing this, then you are asking for trouble at some point.

  • HT4623 We lost our contacts and notes trying to upgrade to IOS 6? We had a back up but that was lost too.

    Needs some help please

    you're not providing any detail to get an intelligent answer.
    With what program were you synching your contacts and notes?  Outlook, Address Book, iCloud, Google?

  • I mistakely restore my ipod touch and i lost my contacts and notes. How can i get my notes back. Please help me those notes were very important to me.

    Hello guys, hope u all r fine but im in trouble. I mistakely restore my ipod touch and then i lost my important notes and contacts. I need to get it back so i need you guys to help me out. Hope if anyone can help me out. Please.

    Have you tied restoring from backup?  If you go to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences, does the date of the backup correspond to before you had you problem?

  • Lost my contacts and calendar since update and statesThe iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).e

    I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).   Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again. 
    So frustrating!!

    On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
    In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

  • TS4062 I lost all of my contacts and notes when attempting to move over music. When I try to restore the backup the day I want to restore to is not present. I do see a copy on my I cloud but I can't seem to retrieve it. What can I do?

    Hi bluegrandpanash,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

  • How do I transfer all the content from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen iTouch, including apps and notes. I replaced an old 2nd gen with the 3rd last year and lost all my contacts and notes.

    What's the best way to transfer all the content, including notes and apps, from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen. When I replaced my last iTouch with the 3rd gen I lost all my contacts and notes.

    Backup the 3g by syncing in iTunes. Then connect the new one and sync everything to it from your backup.

  • Updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and lost contacts and notes

    So yesterday I find that my iPhone asks me to update to iOS 6 to which I say yes. Tells me if I want to do a backup to iCloud. I say yes again. It updates normally and at the end of the backup process it tells me iCloud does not have enough space for the backup. Oh ok, too bad. I'll do something about it later, now I need to use my iPhone. Turns out most of my phone contacts and my notes disappeared. So... hmmmmm... I didn't complete the backup to iCloud but it deleted my contacts and notes all the same. VERY DISAPPOINTED at Apple. Any suggestions?

    I first bought an iPhone 3 years ago. The sales pitch was "up to 5GB all of your pictures, contacts, and Notes" will be saved on the Cloud". So over a year ago I lost my iPhone and bought a new 4S, and guess what? All of my Notes and pictures were restored. Now here we are in February 2013. I had accessed my Notes just this past weekend. Today my iPhone tells me I need to update my IOS to 6.1 so like a blind Apple sheep, I did so. Guess what? My Notes are GONE! I call AT&T where I have Apple support, and they have no idea what the 6.1 change did to the old instructions. Apparently there is a NEW "create an iCloud email" setting but I have no idea if that is going to bring back my Notes. I have to make an appointment and something on the Apple site says if I need help it will cost me $19. Wait, I already pay AT&T and they cannot solve the issue because of the new 6.1. Something fishy here and I am not happy about it. Where did my Notes go? My phone is not broken, but it looks like by updating the phone to 6.1 wiped out my Notes from my phone!!!

  • I've lost all of my contacts and notes on my Iphone 5 and Ipad2

    I couldn't find more my contacts and notes.
    Something occurred on to my Cloud...
    It doesn't accept more my old ID and password...
    I have create another account, but it is blank obviously...
    Now I'm next to desperation...

    When they were not on iCloud - I found them in my EMAIL folders of all places!!! Check your emails (any emails that you may have used) and see if you can find a folder called NOTES.  I couldn't believe my notes were scattered between three different e-mail accounts.  If you go to SETTINGS, then Mail, contacts and calenders---check which email addresses are listed, and if any are turned ON, turn them off, then your notes won't be synced to your e-mails and will instead will go to ICloud if you have Icloud set up.  Check it out, worked for me.  Good luck!

  • Can I share contacts and notes between two iCloud accounts without sending every contact/note?

    My wife and I have been sharing my iCloud account which is very convenient because we automatically get the same calendar, contacts and notes on our devices.  If I were to put her on a separate iCloud account, can we automatically share our contacts and notes without having to send every single one every time a change is made?  I understand that the calendars can be shared fairly easily with family sharing but the others may be more problematic.

    David,
    Thanks for the reply.  That's how I set it up originally.  Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality.  I found the following on the TUAW website.  The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options.  This is the problem.  Everything worked great before we updated.  I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick?  Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need.  We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too.  Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

  • I've lost the contacts and calendar events from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?

    I've lost the contacts and calendar events (& email) from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?
    I tried to re-synch it with the PC iTunes, but no luck, even when re-checking the boxes for Outlook...

    I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to.  Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

  • Lost all contacts and dial pad on iphone 3gs after update

    Hi, please can someone help, ive lost all contacts and the abillity to add , also my dial pad wont work, all after update , i cant even re ad contacts through my messages.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  For some reason, are you not using the device as designed?
    As for other issues... basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
