I lost my contacts on my iphone 4

suddenly all my contacts are gone!  Can I get them back?  I backup my iphone on itunes but I can only seem to put info onto my laptop in my outook and not from my outlook on my laptop to my iphone.  Any help?

Did you back up the phone or sync the contacts before they disappeared?  Jailbroken?

  • Lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Help! I've lost my contacts on my iphone 4 - how can I retrieve them?

    Hi
    There are two options for you :
    1) Setup the mail which contains the contacts on your iPhone by going to Settings > Mail Contacts and Calendars > Add account and once setup is complete come back to the same path and click on your email account name and turn on contacts.
    2) Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Either of these two should fix your issue.

  • Lost my contacts on my iphone 5

    Lost some of my contacts on my iphone 5. Hv backed up to icloud but can't find them there too. Strangely, these are the newly added contacts..

    If the contacts are no longer on icloud.com, you may be able to recover them from your iCloud backup by following the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • HT4859 lost my contacts' info on iphone after i signing onto icloud

    Hi, I lost all of my contacts' info after signing onto icloud and backing up.  Now, contact list on my iphone is blank.  How can I get the info back onto my iphone without resetting?  Thanks

    If you backed up both devices - like you should always do when you update a device - any device - then the contacts should be in your backup - and you can restore from the backup. If you didn't backup - they may be gone.

  • Lost my contacts in an iPhone backup

    I got an new iPhone but all my contacts are in an old backup that has an lot of problems how do I get them out

    Sounds like if your backup has problems you will not be able to get them out.
    Contacts are meant to be synched to an appropriate contact manager on your computer like Outlook (PC) or Address Book (Mac). You should consider this option in the future to avoid the problem you have in the present.

  • HT204150 Lost my contacts on my iphone and on icloud

    I updated my software today and afterwards all my contacts disappeared. I back them up on icloud earlier that day. but when i went and check icloud online they were on the website either. I have already tried the troubleshooting suggestions online.

    i found a useful app in the app store call MCBackup, you can back them up on it and send it to your email and if you need to back them up you just go into your email and click the backup in the email sent and it will send them to your device, i know it doesnt help in this situation if they are already lost but something to consider when you get your contacts back up on your phone

  • I lost every contact from my iphone 4. :(

    Ok let me start from scratch.
    I bought iphone4 5 days ago. My previous phone was Samsung omnia II. i had to manually type on a piece of paper my 754 contacts. and then i again manually typed them into my iphone4. (i was not aware of the outlook service).
    So today i woke up , i connected my iphone to my pc , it sync and then i saw that there where NO contacts in it. i am really frustrated and i am ready to burst cause those contacts where 4 years old and i have completely no idea what to do.
    i can only find 1 backup of my phone in the pc. and that is made today after i saw my contacts where gone!
    I would appreciate any kind of help! I will be in here and refresh the thread for any kind of tips. Please i need your help guys!

    When you selected to sync contacts in iTunes, your contacts were erased from your phone because you choose to sync to an empty contact application on your computer. Doing so will erase all contacts on your phone. You never want to sync to an empty application. Make sure you have at least one unique entry. This will generate a merge or replace prompt when you do sync. Select merge. To restore your contacts, try restoring from backup. Contacts are included in the iPhone backup, thus restoring from backup should restore your contacts to your phone, as long as you have not synced since that initial sync.

  • HT1766 I lost my contacts on my iphone after updating to ios7

    just using my phone, and noticed all the calls/texts I was receiving didn't have names only numbers.  So I looked in my contacts and all contact information was gone. 

    Your phone is erased before it is upgraded. If you did not backup or did not restore the backup, then your data are all gone. If you have a backup you can restore it using iTunes. If you don't, then you can re-sync your data from the computer assuming you have the data in your Address Book and Calendar.
