IPhone Contacts replaced by Yahoo Contacts

Hi, I need to know if it is possible to recover iPhone contacts that were replaced by Yahoo contacts during the sync process? How can this be done?

So the phone was overwritten by Yahoo on sync? if thats the case there is no way to recover them.

  • How do I replace address book on iMac with iPad/iPhone contact info?

    I've been using my iPad and iPhone to record contact information, and they sync with each other via iCloud. I realize now I should have recording this on the iMac and then syncing with the other devices.
    But at this point, I'd like to replace all address book information on my iMac with the iPad/iPhone contact information. What's the best way to do this? I'm concerned that, while trying to sync either device with the iMac, I might somehow do the opposite - replace contact info on the device with address book info from the iMac.
    I appreciate any suggestions.

    Start by backing up the contacts on your Mac by opening Address Book (Contacts) and going to File>Export>Contacts Archive, save this on your desktop.  Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your iPhone and use it to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself. (Note: if you have >500 contacts you'll need to either purchase and use the Pro version, or follow the instructions listed under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts" in this guide to dowload them from icloud.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.)
    I'm assuming at this point that you are NOT syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud.  If you are, do not perform the steps in this paragraph.  Assuming you are not syncing your Mac contacts with iCloud, open Address Book (Contacts), go to View>Groups, then click on All Contacts.  Click on a single contact, then go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts.  Now press your delete key to delete them.  Your Mac Address Book (Contacts) should now be empty.  Now open the My Contacts Backup email on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import the contacts from your iPhone to your Mac Address Book (Contacts).

  • I upgraded my iPhone last night but at the end of the upgrade the Contacts were synched. This has replaced my iPhone contacts with my Windows contacts. Is there a way to restore my iPhone contacts?

    I upgraded my iPhone last night. At the end of the upgrade iTunes synched the Contacts, but all my iPhone contacts have been deleted and replaced by the Windows contacts on my computer. Can the iPhone contacts be restored?  The latest backup shows the time to be after the sync so we tried to restore the iPhone but only the Windows contact list is there. Can you access any previous backup files anywhere?

  • HOW DO I COPY IPHONE CONTACTS INTO MY YAHOO MAIL BOX

    JUST WANTED TO COPY MY IPHONE CONTACTS INTO MY YAHOO.COM MAIL CONTACTS, PLS HOW

    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    You will have to visit such a link often enough to make it appear in Most Visited.
    You can make the Visit Count column visible in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) via the Views menu.
    You can clear all history to reset the visit count.

    If you asking me, I would suggest to additonally use a second storage service which also allows you to store your pictures over the 30 days period. I personally use Dropbox with automatic upload for that (https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ), but there are also other storage services like Flickr for example.

  • HT4489 I have my contacts in my Yahoo. Which I could pull into Iphone contact list. So when I go to iphone and see Contacts. I see all the details I want to see.

    So I see on IPHONE-Contacts all the contact details that  I want to see.
    I did the backup and it did not bring to my contacts for my mail in @icloud.com.
    THen I did a VCARD format in Yahoo export. THen tried to import that file into ICLOUD. COM and got weird error and will not allow. SO thought may be too many contact. SO just tried to do one contact and get the same error.
    So what are the steps on need to take to get say a YAHOO contact list into ICLOUD. COM contact (Using Windows platform).
    Thank you for the help

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone from Yahoo as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Yahoo account and turn off contacts syncing withYahoo.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the Yahoo contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Your Yahoo contacts should now be in iCloud, along with any other iCloud contacts you may have had.

  • How can I set up for contacts on my iPhone to replace contacts on my address book?

    I have tried several ways.  I read some suggestions about leaving only 1 contact in the address book and then syncing but it automatically deletes all my iPhones contacts and replaces it with only that one in the address book.  What I want is for my Address Book contacts to be updated or replaced (by default) with those contacts on my iPhone.  Please help.  I am always adding new contacts to my iphone and changing peoples information and every time I sync it, it erases any changes to my iPhone and updates based on the address book.  I want it to go the other way.

    Are you using Windows or Mac OS?

  • How can I sync my iPhone contacts to my Mac and vice-versa, without losing them? Can i do it with iCloud?

    I always add new phone numbers on my iPhone Contacts, while new email addresses are always added on my Mac Contacts. The result is that I dont have my recent email contacts on my phone, while on the Mac I dont have the recent phones.
    I would like to have ONE common list of contacts (same for iPhone & Mac) which will be AUTOMATICALLY updated for both, once I add a new entry.
    I am not sure how to do this with syncing, I am afraid I wll lose my old contacts. Can I do this with iCloud?

    Hello there, Seta.
    You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    Particularly:
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
    Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

    i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts  with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
    Cheers for your Help!

    The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
    If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
    If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

  • ITunes 9.1 no longer synching iPhone Contacts to Mac Address Book

    Since installing iTunes 9.1 (79) today. my iPhone will no longer synch to the Mac Address Book. iPhone software 3.1.3, Mac OS 10.6.3 MacBook Pro 3.1. The only thing I can think of is that my iTunes library is on an external drive (not with me). Everything else seems to be working OK. I tried resetting the iPhone (but did not erase content) to no avail.
    Any ideas why this is happening and what to do?

    Can anyone help with this? This has been an issue for me for weeks. Changes to contacts on my iPhone (the original one) don't show up in Address Book and changes in Address Book on my iMac don't sync with my iPhone contacts. Both seemed to be separate from each other. Prior to this, it has done so flawlessly since I have owed it.
    I just tried the following, from this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=476130):
    *1. open address book, go to File > Export > Address Book Archive, save to desktop*
    *2. delete all contact info (including groups) from address book, quit address book*
    *3. select "sync address book contacts" (all contacts) in itunes info tab (highlight your iphone on the left of the window)*
    *4. under "advanced" at the bottom, select contacts under "replace information on this iphone / ipod".*
    *5. sync.*
    *6. uncheck #'s 3 & 4 above*
    *7. back in address book, import your address book archive file to restore your address book.*
    *that should do it- sorry if this was unclear, need to hit the hay.*
    My Address Book imported back in fine. Now my iPhone contacts are empty and won't sync back with what is on the computer. When I click on my iPhone in iTunes and go to Info to click "Sync Address Book Contacts," there is nothing in the box. Prior to attempting the above fix, the iPhone's contacts showed up in that box, but not the most recent version of Address Book on my computer.
    I have not lost my Address Book contacts, they are backed up, but I just want to be able to sync it all with my iPhone again. My iPhone contacts are currently empty and I could use them for work today.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated -- thanks!
