Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.
If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
From iTunes: About iOS backups:
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device. -
HT4906 When I synched my phone to the iCloud, I lost my contact list and phone numbers.
When I synched my 3G phone to upgrade the operating system and to join i cloud, I lost my contact list and phone numbers
How can I get the list and phone numbers back???
allen8844If they aren't in your contacts on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you would have to restore them from a backup source.

Ok my Iphone 4s locked up and I had to shut it down and restart it. When it restarted my contact list was gone. I went to Itunes and and clicked restore and it selected today as the last backup. It did the whole restore but my contact list is still missing. Is there another way for me to get my contact list back.?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Upgrading iphone 4 to IOS6 lost my contact list
When upgrading iphone4 to IOS6, I lost my contact list and YouTube. Lord knows what else is missing...Can anyone help fix this problem? I tried to create a new contact list of an existing name and delete it...nothing happened. Even went to setting and checked to see if iCloud was ON...Yes. Store and backup was also on...Contact was turned on as well. What else can I do?
It has been very well publicized that youtube is not included in the ios 6 update. Google it.
You can download the youtube app from the app store if you like.
If you have been sycning your apps as is the design of the iphone, then simply sync them back to the iphone. -
Lost my Contact Names and Months of New Entries w/ iOS 4 Update--Any Help?
Hi,
I updated to iOS4 yesterday and after it was done all my contact names were gone. The numbers were all in there, just no names. I don't use Mobile Me for my contacts.
Checking my iPhone sync settings on my Mac for some reason "sync contacts" with Address Book was no longer checked in iTunes. It looks like it was that way for some time, which is unusual as that's the method I use to backup my contacts. No idea how that got switched, as I wouldn't have changed that. Don't think MobileMe troubleshooting had me turn it off after a Calendar duplication issue. Wouldn't make sense.
Also, I don't know why the update to a new OS would make me LOSE ALL my contact names. Why would the update be designed that way and not retain everything?
Now my computer has an old contact list and I've lost months of new contacts, phone numbers, emails and contact organization. Pretty bummed. Not sure why that box wasn't checked and the phone backup system is absolutely no help at all as, by design, iTunes only saves ONE backup of your phone at a time, and after the operating system updates to iOS4, it immediately and automatically backs up the phone with the new settings, writing over the real backup with the data you might want to return to.
Restored it from backup today to see if it'd repopulate the names, but no, it went to the backup it took AFTER the iOS4 update. It even erased the new spelling of someone's name that I put into the phone last night!
Why is this upgrade process designed without more safeties in mind, Apple? Not sure how that happened but clearly grandmothers and others might have a snafu and need to go back to an earlier backup. Can't iTunes backup the last 3 or 5 versions, or just note the differences so getting back lost data is easier? Happened a few years back, an iPhone I was using that went bad, but iTunes backed up the corrupted information in its single backup so that the last few weeks of entries, etc., got lost. Any way to get wireless syncing of the phone in the future like with Time Capsule or something, indexing at least a few multiple backups by date or something?
Clearly all the names were on the phone in their entirety immediately before the update, but then poof! Anything I can do about it now? Any ideas, folks?
Thanks.Try a hard reset right now and see if they disappear.
Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for 10 seconds until you see white Apple logo on the screen. Wait for the phone to restart and see if the contacts are fixed. -
Ok, so I have just updated my iPad2 to the latest OS and I have lost my paid magazine subscriptions. How do I re-establish the link so that I don't have to subscribe and pay all over again?? this is frustrating as I also had to reload alot of non-supplied apps (games mostly). I also lost all of my contacts content.
Put them back the same you did originally. Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and re-sync the music you want back to your iPad using iTunes.

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6? Thanks to you from the UnTechie
The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade. -
I just updated to ios7 and do not like the redesign. I want the old design back. Has anyone found out how to restore the old appearance. I do not understand why the change. I now have to unlock my phone to be able to check my battery level because my screensaver has a light color in the upper corner and I can't read the text. I want the gray panel back.

Have lost my contact list iphone 5,has been replaced by my sons contact list .I gave him my old iphone 4,it has been unlocked and all his info has been downloaded on his phone.But for some reason his contacts have replaced mine.As well as my phone my contacts in my computer have been replaced as well. can anyone help?
That's because you both are using the same Apple ID for iCloud(yours). Your son deleted your contacts & added his, & as far as iCloud knows, its the same person & that's the way things are supposed to work...keeps everything in sync across all of your devices.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage...this will prevent this from happening again.
As far as recovering your contacts, unless they are in a supported application somewhere else, they are most likely gone. -
Updated software to iOS 5.1.1 and lost all contacts, messages, and photos specific to this iPhone. Is there any way to retrieve the lost info?
if you don't have a backup on iclouds or itunes that you can restore to, then all is gone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

I just updated to IOS7, now when I am sending a text the letters and words have a delay so I dont see them for a few seconds
I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!! The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?
When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

I have just updated to ios7 on my iphone and don't like the look and feel of this update. Where are all the colors and texture of all the older isos, all those white background colors,yuk. Is a way to go back to the ios6
"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.
