Do you mean they are on the web at iCloud.com or on your PC in an iCloud client (such as Outlook)

hi guys. if some1 could pls be kind enough to let me know how i can import all my contacts from htc desire (andrioid) to the iphone5. i have actually done quiet a few experiments but nothing seems to be working. it is really important..thanks guys, Zee!
Or just sync to google from your HTC and export to a vcf file. After that login to icloud.com and there you can import the vcf. And now you just have to setup the icloud on your iPhone.

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.
If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

I had my computer worked on recently. When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes. I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?
Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone. -
Why can't I get my iphone to import all the email address when it imports from address book? It syncs all other info.
I tried over and over, there must be something I need to change.
It make we want to go back to my blackberryUsually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.
You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer. -
IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!
iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!
Hi Bob,
I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
**********DON'T DO IT***********
Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
Good luck!!!!
Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
Plug iPhone into Computer
Launch iTunes
After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
Let the iPhone restore completely
DO NOT CONNECT TO iCLOUD -
After upgrading my iPhone, I lost all my contacts and they were replaced with my wife's contacts even though she upgraded after I did. I did a time machine backup before I started the upgrade process, how do I get that saved data back to my phone?
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:

Iphone 4s deleted all my contacts after connecting to wifi.
I was playing a game on my iphone 4s and I decided to connect my phone to our wifi like I always do to save data. However, this time, it deleted all my contacts. I would really appreciate help with this problem. My phone has not been backed up yet, it is only a few weeks old. Is there any way to retrieve them?
Are you syncing contacts over the air with an Apple iCloud account or with another email account that supports the same?

HT4623 I updated my Iphone 4 and all my contacts are gone, what can I do to restore them?
I updated my IPhone 4 and now my contacts are gone. What can I do to retore them?

The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab. As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately. This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.

I am trying to update my wifes iphone5 to her macbook. The macbook already has her old iphone4s information. I would like to set up a new id for her so that I can keep all of the information on her phone and get rid of the old stuff on her macbook now. Is there an easy way to do this now. I have an account on my laptop and dont sync with my macbook so it doesnt really matter to me with my iphone5, but i would like to start fresh with hers. It seems like every time I go to sync it i get a message that there is already an account under that user name. Can i keep the same user name and start fresh with what is on her 5.
Dear Jody..jone5
Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
Goodluck

Help! I want to synch some things from my iBook to my iPhone, but most of my iBook Address listings I don't want on my phone. How do I keep the synch function from pouring addresses back in that I have just spent 90 min deleting??
Create a group in Address Book only containing the contacts you want on the phone, then choose that group in iTunes for syncing to the iPhone.

When I purchased my iphone 4S, I had all my old phone's information transfer over to my new phone.
I organized my address book on my mac powerbook and then hoped to sync my computer's address book to my phone - in hopes of erasing all the junky contacts on my iphone and only having the my address book contacts on my phone.
I did all I could trying to make this happen (through iTunes) but it hasn't erased/replaced all of the contacts on my phone - I believe since my phone is synced to icloud. So I'm stuck with a very unorgaized contacts list on my phone...
How can I make it so I only have the contacts from my address book on my phone?
Thanks in advance,
SuzanneAlso, I just noticed that syncing my phone effected my calendar in that all my events now repeat. So instead of having one event schedule on a day, I have two of the same events scheduled for the same time.
It seems as if I can't sync my phone to my computer through iTunes and iCloud.
Help???
