Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?

Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?
I was trying to save my contacts by importing my contacts to my sim card by going into settings, mail-contacts and then hit the Import SIM Contacts.
It wiped out ALL of my contacts and I'm freaking out!!
Can anyone please help?
Ps. My contacts was the ONLY data NOT sync'd to my iTunes! =(

You can import TO a SIM. To import, if you look at the button in settings says Import SIM Contacts. That means it is importing, or moving the contacts FROM the SIM to the iPhone. Importing means to take something from the area you are selecting and moving it to the current area, in other words, as others have told you, you imported what was ON the SIM card and since the iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM, you imported NOTHING to a place that had something.
The way you save and backup contacts on an iPhone is to sync them through iTunes to a supported application on a computer such as Address Book on a Mac, Outlook or Windows Contacts on a Windows machine. If you did not do that prior to the Import attempt, then you will not be able to recover them.

  • I deleted one of my email accounts. Is there a way to get the contacts back?

    I had to remove one of my work email accounts. It also removed all of the contacts. Is there a way to retrieve those contacts from the iCloud?

    Your exchange contacts are entirely separate from iCloud so there isn't a way to restore them from iCloud.  You would have had to copy the contacts to iCloud prior to removing them from your phone in order for them to be in your iCloud account.

  • Hi, I got a new iPhone that I havent uploaded to my iTunes yet I had pictures and contacts. I accidentally said to restore it as my old iTouch. Is there a way I can change it back to my old iPhone and get my pictures and contacts back? Thank you

    You would need to check if you made a back up of the iPhone on iTunes/iCloud before you restored from the ipod touch back up. If there isnt then im sorry that data is gone.

  • I have accidentally deleted my voice memo when i pressed the 'delete' button, thinking that is to change the name of my voice memo. is there a way to retrieve the memo back?

    really do not understand why apple provides just one confusing delete button in its newer ios, instead of the previous versions which actually gives a confirmation button of whether to delete voice memo.

    What system did the Mac come with and what system are you running now? If it's 2 years old, i.e. bought in 2010 then it came with Leaport or Snow Leopard installed and would have had install disks.  Included in those disk would be a disk similar to one of these:
    That would have included iPhoto 8 (09) if bought before October 20, 2010 or iPhoto 9 (11) if bought after that date.  In either case you should have a disk like in the screenshot.  If not then you'll have to purchase an iLIfe 11 boxed disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 and install your missing applications from it and then apply the latest updaters from the Apple Downloads web page/

  • Ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    If the movies were rentals then no.
    If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page  - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
    You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.

    If I have a late 2006 iMac is there any way to sync my contacts and calendar with my iphone

    Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I synced my iphone 4 with my computed and the erase pictures after sync box was checked and i did not realize it, is there a way to get the photos back into camera roll?

  • Is there any way to import a contact list into the mototalk app

    I have the new Mototalk app and I need to import about 350 push to talk contacts into the mototalk contacts. Is there any way that it can be done from a cvs or database file

    Moto is ducking the issue and misguiding you, not surprising now that Moto is owned by Google. Apple cannot help you with Motorola's own app.
    Moto's information says only that "MOTOTALK automatically imports your contacts to the app" but I can't find anything that says where these contacts will be obtained. If it's not picking up the contacts from your iPhone's Contacts, then I can't guess what they mean. I doubt very much that you'll be able to load contacts from a Mac, but I can't say with certainty.
    Regards.

  • My babysitter synced her iphone 4s on my computer and i didnt notice until i synced mine now all my contacts are deleted from my computer.  is there any way to get my contacts back on my phone? like a way to restore from before she synced her phone?HELP!!

    HELP!! my babysitter synced her iphone 4s with my computer and i didnt notice she deleted all my contacts when she did this. so when i synced mine it deleted all the contacts on my phone! is there any way to restore from before the sync? HELP!!!

    if you see the option to restore in itunes, click it.  Your phone will give you the option to restore as new, or restore from backup.

    The above article walks you through it, and has pictures. As for your contacts, if you had them saved to Outlook (windows contacts?) you can follow this other article for getting them back. I know it says ipod, but it will work the same.

  • I accidentally synced my iPhone 4 to another account before I had the chance to back up my files, is there any way to retrieve the photos that were on my iPhone?

    I had an iPhone 4 that got stolen and just got a new one, so after I had taken important photos I plugged the phone into iTunes and it accidentally restored to my old iPhone data and uploaded all that information, deleting the new photos before I had a chance to back them up. I don't suppose there is any way of retrieving this lost data?

    If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

  • Is there any way to turn missing photos back into printable jpegs?

    Using LR 5.  Lost about 1500 jPeg images due to corrupted disk drive.  However, LR5 still displays a remarkably sharp image under "missing photos".  Is there any way to turn these back into printable jpegs?  These are family vacation photos that had not yet been backed up to additional drives.  

    You want to extract LR previews as images.  Googling for this shows several links:

  • Is there a way to import midi data BACK into ultrabeat?

    I'm sitting here arranging a new song, programming all the drums into ultrabeat.  I clicked on the drum sounds, expecting to keep everything that I've worked on - when to my surprise I realized it went back to every sample pattern.
    I have some sections already pasted into the arrange window - and yes, i can just copy them and move forward, but i haven't tweaked anything yet, and all the drums are the same volume blah blah blah.  Is there anyway to import a segment from the arrange window that were created with ultrabeat BACK into ultrabeat?

    No.
    But you haven't lost anything.  Velocities/grid placement can easily be adjuted in the piano roll.  The volume in UB's mixer, as well as any of the voices parameters don't care if UB is running it's sequencer or playing notes from a region.  Unless you are programming step automation ("yellow mode").
