I want to restore my iPhone 4s and ONLY put the contacts back on it. Help?

I cant figure out how to do this. I dont want to restore from a backup. How can i ONLY get the contacts back? I tried iCloud, but it wont backup anything, it only says "estimating time remaining." Can someone please help?

Sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer, such as Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook. They will sync with the phone. Once you have synced these contacts, then restore the phone as new, then sync the contacts to the new phone. Problem solved.

Go further down on the same screen and look for more information. (I do not remember the exact words) Upon clicking on it a new page opens in Safari for instructions, including opening Terminal under Utilities, etc. Then you will have to add # and a space to one of the lines. Then save and restart the computer. It worked for me. I am sorry I do not remember the exact sequence of these steps. Hope this helps you.

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Contacts is switched ON. It may take a few minutes for the data to sync via Wi-Fi.
If you are using iCloud, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer via iTunes to sync your contacts.

I transferred my music from my pc to my mac, but when i sync my phone it doesn't sync with any new music i added. If i back it up will it erase what's on my iPhone now and only put what's on the mac now (will it erase my apps?)

I transferred all my music from my pc to my new mac and added new music, but when i try to sync my iPhone with the mac it doesn't sync anything new I put on it. I believe backing it up will solve it , but if I back up my iPhone will it erase what I have on my phone now (apps and other things) and only put the music from the mac now or will it keep what's on my phone and add the new music I put on the mac?

It's true that it will erase your iPhone music if you sync them with Mac. You can use third party software to transfer music from iPhone to Mac, there are many programs you can choose. In this way, you can selectively move music.

I want to sync my iphone, ipad, and macbook with the same username and password, is this possible

i want to sync my ipad, iphone, and macbook with the same username and password. is this possible and if so, how do i do it?

You mean with the same iCloud account?
If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

HT201210 im trying to restore my iphone 4s and its says the 'update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable' help! :(

i cant restore my iphone becuase this error message keeps on apearing help!

Windows user? Maybe you should check your HOSTS file to make sure nothing is stopping you from contacting Apple's servers - though if you're not looking to update you might still be out of luck. Also, maybe disable IP blacklist apps like PeerBlock just in case they're interfering with your connection to Apple.

I recently synced my iPhone 4 and all of my contacts have disappeared. Help?

I tried to update my iPhone 4 and all of my saved contacts are no longer showing up. If I need to type a text message however, the contacts name will show up...where did they go?

They should be on your computer in whatever program you have chosen to sync

HT1719 Restored my computer, copied the file to 2nd harddrive, now ihave restored my computer how do i put the muisc back on ?

After restoreing my computer and copyed my Music to my 2nd drive, what the easyest way to get the music back on I tunes!

hook up your Toshiba USB external to your AIR.
Open the Toshiba and drag your file with photos back to a file on your Air.
A: are the files on the HD in a time machine backup? Or are they just stored there as archived data?
B: Can you or can you not access your HD when you hook same to your Air? ....or is the case that you cannot SEE to open it?

Compare 2 XML and only get the differences back

Hello ABAP XML experts,
I do not have an XI infrastructure, but need to perform a changes-only functionality in interfacing.
To achieve this I have a program which creates an XML string from an ABAP dictionary structure. I create this XML using the CALL TRANSFORMATION id statement. Then I store this XML in a custom database table.
The next time I run the interface program I create a new XML string and I read the one from the database, which I stored in the previous run of the program.
So far so good. Now the question.
Is there a standard function module, class or transformation who I can give the new and old XML and then it would compare the content and tell me which values have changed?
Kind Regards
Koen Van Loocke

Hi Patel,
the method sound promising, however I have my xml in a data field of type string and the method needs type XSTRING.
do you happen to know how to convert from string to XSTRING?
thanks
Koen

I wanted to restore my iphone beacause i've forgotten the passcode but it is asking me to update my software even though my iphone is up to date. and in the end , the update is showing error.

hello. i am having hard time with my iphone 4s. actually, i did set my passcode using the tamil keyboard. my passcode was 'ka' and 'lai'. there's no such alphabet in the keyboard. in order to get "lai" we've to tap "la" and "i". so, it will transform into "lai". i did this in my settings. and when i locked the phone and tapped the word "ka', "la" and "i', this time the two alphabets are not transforming into "lai". it keep remains as two different alphabets. so, i couldn't unlock my iphone 4s. then, i decided to factory reset it via itunes. but, there's a problem again. when i tapped the restore button it is asking me to update iphone software even though it is up to date. and yet when i clicked the download button, it will start the downloading process but after sometime there will be an error in downloading. so, until now i couldn't unlock my iphone. i hope there will a reply as soon as possible.

I restored my iPhone 4 and only some of the pictures came back. HELPPPP!!!!!!!!

It says I have 419 photos which is what I started with before the restoration. I have Windows 8. On my iPhone I have a few pictures that actually show up. The other pictures are white so I can't see them. HELP ME!!!!!!!

Have you not been importing your photos to your computer as intended? Synch them back.
