Contacts are part of the backup, restore from the latest backup and your contacts should be back on your phone.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. To avoid any potential contact data loss, back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM) or another cloud-based service (such as Gmail or Microsoft Exchange). You can also make a copy of contacts that are in iCloud. Learn about backups in iCloud.

Contacts deleting automatically

Last Month i have restored my iPhone with iOS 5, since then my contacts get deleted automatically. I also updated with the latest iOS i.e. 5.1 just to ensure that might be a software glitch but still i am facing the same problem. Apple please look into the matter as i am ****** off with this new OS 5.x.

How to stop iPhone 4 contacts being automatically replaced by an iPhone 6 contacts with the same Apple ID logged in?

So my phone got damaged and I sent it for repair. This is not the issue.
Meanwhile, I'm using my Dad's previous iPhone 4. I placed the SIM card in and used a carrier app to transfer all my contacts. After my contacts replaced the one on my Dad's previous phone, he informed me that the contacts on his current phone iPhone 6+ had changed to mine to and he had lost all of his contacts.
Unfortunately he has yet to back up his new iPhone 6+ but I did managed to find a backup of the iPhone 4 stored on my computer.
Here comes the problem: I restored the back up from my computer on the iPhone 4. All the contacts were back. However, whenever the iPhone 4 has wifi on, the contacts will automatically get replaced by my contacts again? I have tried toggling iCloud here and there but nothing seems to be working.
Anyone knows the problem here?

Okay, as I'm not very clear how iCloud works, I'll try my best to explain what I tried to do.
Firstly, what I'm trying to do is to get the contacts restored on the iPhone 4. Once I've got them back, afraid that they might get replaced, I put the phone on airplane mode and turned off iCloud Backup. The iCloud 6 on the iPhone 6 is turned on and is connected to wifi. By turning the iCloud back on with the iPhone 4, I assumed that the replaced contacts on the iPhone 4 would overwrite the ones on the iPhone 6 but it seems to be happening the other way round.
Objective: Trying to get the restored contacts on the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 6.

Once Mac address book synched from iphone and contacts deleted they won't resynch back

I have a problem and have spent hours researching but to no avail
1. I got a new iphone 4S and put in my mail info from yahoo, gmail and low and behold I had a contact list now in my phone. I thought, "I just love Apple!"
2. I spent all afternoon on my iphone updating my contact list with contact photos, birthdays and all the stuff I never put in on my email program or my MacPro Leopard mac addressbook.
3. With trepidation, I synched via usb with itunes my contacts and suddenly I had 3 (or more versions of my contacts on every site or device). To see what was going on (as I wasn't sure if my mac would erase iphone contacts or add to them etc) I tried putting a test contact "iphone test" on my phone, yahoo test on my yahoo account, and mac test contact on my laptop address book, and gmail test in my gmail's contacts, and synched again.... For the most part every test contact showed up everywhere (not yahoo test in gmail's account mind you)
4. GREAT I thought. I will just DELETE the contacts in the mac address book, yahoo, gmail accounts, fix my iphone duplicate contacts so I have one perfect set on the iphone and resynch and I should have my iphone contacts filling in all the right places (yahoo, gmail, and mac address book from the iphone) and they will all now be identical... SO WRONG!
5. None of the prior contacts would sync. Only new contacts will synch (ones that were never before synched, ie, a new iphone test contact WILL show up in my Mac address book but the other 100 won't (apparently the computer knows they were already synced or something.)
I am now left with all my contacts on my phone and none in my computer! I have synched in itunes about 10 times with "contacts" checked trying different settings for yahoo, gmail but no source will retake my iphone contacts now that it was synced and the mac address book deleted...
Can anyone help???

Thanks for your timely response. I really appreciate the heads up on the My Contacts Backup App since when you have gone from 4 copies of contacts to one you are starting to feel insecure...
Unfortunately, after following this to a "T" (2x) no luck... The mac address book was empty to begin with so I added three new contacts, synched and then started from there...
I unchecked the sync box and synched. Deleted 2 of the 3 contacts and checked the "sync contacts"--all contacts (I have no groups). It synched without prompting me for a merge and the new single contact did not show up in the iphone... bummer. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE MYSELF HELPFUL POINTS AND THEY WERE FOR RANDERS4....

HT1386 iphone sync- contacts deleted

I just synced and updated my Iphone on ITunes and I see that I now have all of my wife's Iphone contacts, schedules, etc on mine. In addition I've lost most of my contacts- is there anyway to sync just my phone ??
Is there anyway I can get my old contacts back on my phone???
I'm kind of new to this and the Icloud, so please excuse if this is a dumb question.
thanks

If running Mavericks, local syncing for contacts/calendars has been removed. You use iCloud or a similar OTA syncing service.

Contact list Deleted automatically

When i connecting to vpn all newly added contacts deleted automatically.
What must i do to prevent such things ??

so i could have my HOA contacts in a group
NEVER give your HOA your e-mail, or your phone number, (or your street address).
Well, I guess they've already got your street address.

Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name. Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book. Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts. Click Apply and sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book. (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

Contacts have automatically deleted

All of a sudden some of my contacts have automatically deleted my phone and a lot of contacts name are gone, it is just the number which is there, i have a 4S model, how do i resolve this issue

BEFORE you go restoring backups, try this instead:
Go to Settings > iCloud. Verify that you are logged in with your correct Apple ID. Make sure Contacts are turned ON.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Do you have any other mail accounts? If so, add them to the iPhone, and make sure Contacts is turned ON for each.
Go to Contacts > Groups. Make sure all groups are ON. Refresh the contacts by dragging down on the groups screen.
Go to the home screen. Close all the running apps (double tap Home Button, swipe up on all apps.)
Restart the device.
Go to Contacts. See if the contacts are back.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing you should do is have your friend log out of your account and change your password.
Do you have a back up from when you had the contacts on your phone.

If it's not on icloud.com any longer you can't restore it from iCloud. (Contacts are only synced to your iCloud account, and are not included in the iCloud backup.)
