My grandson accidentally backed up his phone as mine on my laptop, then synced my phone.  I was able to get everything back except my contacts.  Any suggestions?

  • IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

    Help!! My iPhone contacts were deleted when syncing. And only kept a few from my Address Book. Is there a way I can restore them? Please Help! Thanks.

    Me too. Although I don't see what MobileMe has to do with it, I don't use it.

  • Iphone contacts deleted off husband work phone and mine are there

    I have an iphone with an icloud acct. My husband has an iphone for work that was installed with his work contacts.  We unfortunately without thinking added our itunes acct on his work phone.  Woke up and his work iphone contacts are gone.  How do we reset it back to his work numbers.  I guess the icloud changed his contacts?

    Unless you have a pre-DH backup of your iphone and/or Contacts to restore to, you can add this to your list of grievances when consulting a divorce attorney.
    Or get him to buy you a nice dinner at least!

  • IPhone contacts - Delete group from iphone?

    How do i get rid of contact groups from the iPhone (this one is named "Group Name"), that i deleted in address book?
    This stems from a sync bug. When i created a group in address book named "Family", it showed up on my phone as "Group Name" with no contacts inside. I had to rename "Family" to "Familyy" and create a new group named "Family". I then dragged the contacts into it and deleted "Familyy". I still have that dead group named "Group Name" on my iPhone.
    How do i delete the group from my iPhone? It doesn't exist in address book.

    So should i assume that once something is on my phone, its there forever?
    No, but as you provided with your original post, you are attributing this to a sync bug and if a bug, you must do something different from the norm to resolve it.
    If you are syncing all Address Book Groups, not select Groups, all Address Book Groups should be available on your iPhone and be identical to the Groups in the Address Book on your Mac and should be kept synchronized. Something went wrong, due to a sync bug or due to something else.
    How do i take something off?
    If there is an address book group on your iPhone which is not available with the Address Book on your Mac, it should be removed via the iTunes sync process. If not, the instructions I provided should resolve it. If you are syncing direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, and Contacts is not available to select under the Advanced section below the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for replace this info on your iPhone, something else is wrong.

  • Syncing Iphone and Iphone has deleted ALL contacts from Outlook - Help!

    I have on many occassions synced my Iphone without issue.
    This time syncing the IPhone has deleted ALL the contacts on the hone and WITHIN Outlook.
    Can I regain the lost contacts safely from the back up?
    I have over 300 contacts and don't want to have to copy them all in manually.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
    Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking.

  • My husband and I use the same apple ID, I have just started using an iPhone and deleted all his contacts from my phone. He hadn't backed up his iPhone but my iPad is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way I can retrieve his contacts from there?

    My husband and I use the same apple ID. I started using a new iPhone and deleted his contacts from my phone which has also deleted them from his phone. He hasn't backed up his phone but my iPad is backed to iCloud. Can I retrieve the contacts from this?

    In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

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

  • During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

    During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

    Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
    I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts.  I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
    I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could.  I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
    I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

  • HT201401 My iphone contact list has changed and it keeps deleting my contacts. could icloud be the problem?

    Are you sharing the iCloud account with someone else?

  • My iphone contact list got deleted without me doing anything

    my iphone contact list got deleted without me doing anything

    Sounds like you activated one of the features of accessibility. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, turn off Invert colors. Also check under Triple click to see if that is what is selected and you can turn that off as well.

  • 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....

  • HT1245 How do I delete my existing iPhone contacts then sinc just my google contacts?

    How do I delete my existing iPhone contacts then sinc just my google contacts?

    Idealy you should move your itunes content from your old computer to your new one
    Here are your options
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Then just sync your iPhone with the new computer. It will ask to erase but as everything in in your new itunes this is OK. Then choose what to sync back onto your iphone
    If you no longer have the old computer here is how to restore your library from the iPhone
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Then you can sync your machine with the new computer.
    If you do not care about this and just want to extract the items mentioned
    I found this and it will extract your Contacts and messages.
