Iphone died, need to retreive contacts data from itunes ? any advice welcome.

hello, so the story goes that my iphone just stopped working last weekend. my contacts are in my itunes i hope, as it often sync'd.
so how do i retrieve my contacts into a format that i could use on another phone ? i currently have an android as a replacement.
thanks

Contacts are not stored in iTunes. Contacts are synced through iTunes to a supported contact application on your computer. You have been syncing contacts(as designed) with a supported contact application, haven't you? If not, (bad idea) you'll have to use third-party software to extract your contacts from your iPhone backup. Apple makes no provision to do so:

Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

     I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
     My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
     Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
Thanks everyone for the help!

fwiw
It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
Hope it helps/

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Hook the phone to the computer, open the Computer icon and look for the iPhone folder. Copy the images. Not difficult at all. Sync your contacts with Outlook through iTunes. Not really so difficult.

HT4061 I need to download some data from my phone prior to restoring it to the last backup. When connecting to itunes to download photo's it is suggesting I restore the phone. Is there a workaround?

Hi,
I need to download some data from my iphone prior to backing it up. When connecting to itunes it is suggesting I restore it now. I will lose quite an amount of data if I cannot find a workaround. Is there any way to get access to contacts, notes and photo's before I restore the phone?
Phone details are: model: A1429
FCC:       ID   BCG-E2599A
IC            579C-E261DA
IMEI:      013412004666230
Cheers

Thanks for the update. I went through the restore process and all the data I thought I would lose was there. The data must have been copied straight away before the update failed over.
Cheers
John.

Hi
You need to upgrade to the next OS 10.6 Snow Leopard by purchasing the DVD online.

and once installed, use Software Update

- and update your iTunes.

Easiest way to transfer contacts/data from old phone (5) to new (6 and 6 ). I did "back up to this computer" for both phones. After activation (verizon) do I just plug into iTunes? One phone is still using iOS7 (is that a problem?, other is iOS 8.1.

What is the best/safest way to transfer contacts/data from old phones (5) to new (6 and 6 ). I did "back up to this computer" for both phones. After activation (verizon) do I just plug into iTunes? One of the old phones is still using iOS 7, will that be a problem? (the other has iOS 8.1).

The following has instructions on how to transfer to a new iPhone using either iCloud or iTunes: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

I just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

i just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Iphone 5 not restoring my back up data from itunes? Iphone 5 began freezing and turning off by itself after ios7 updates. How can i recover my data?

I began having problems with my iphone 5 after I updated to ios7. It began having several issues e.g. freezing, turning on and off by itself and the home button was not responding.
It is a long story because I had to talk to apple reps etc. to make a long story short; my iphone is now in recovery mode and only works when it is set as a new iphone.
Now my back up data on itunes will not back up into my iphone 5 and my iphone is still in recovery mode.
How can I restore my itunes back up data into my iphone 5?
How can I get my phone out of recovery mode?
How can I recover my potentially lost data, contacts, sms, etc., due to backing up my iphone and trying to fix the issues with apple reps?

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards
Krishna

Hi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,
Sreeni

How can I see website data from itouch 4th generation? My 8 yr old may have been on inappropriate sites and I need to see the data from website data stored on the itouch.

There is no way to see where he has been.
Go into Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari and turn it off. Then add the MacGruff browser from the app store. After that go back to Restrictions and turn off the ability to add apps.

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.
