i lost all my contact. how do i recover them

Do you back up your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud? How often do you sync your iPhone to your computer? Your contacts could be on your Mac or PC.

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

    My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

    No.  Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
    Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

    My Iphone was playing up so I turned it off and when I turned it back on again it lost all my contacts-any idea how to retireve them?

    If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads.  How do I recover them?

    My computer ceased functioning.  When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased.  How do I recover them?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?

    I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?

    The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
    Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from?

  • Have lost all my contact how do i retrieve them?

    hi had mobile me email which has now espired when deleting the mail account it has deleted all my contacts anyone know how to restore them?

    Were you syncing your contact with Address Book/Outlook on your Mac?  If so, are they still in Address Book/Outlook?

  • I lost all my contacts - how can I retrieve them?

    I  cancelled my free trial to mobile me last night only to wake this morning and see that all my contacts and calendar were deleted from my iphone!  I was not given any warning about this.  I checked my itunes account on my computer and saw that they were no contacts there as well!  How could they not be backed up on my computer when I just synced my iphone yesterday!  This is shocking that they would be wiped out just because I did not want to pay a subscription!  I frantically got on to the mobile me account and paid $99 that I did not have to reacctivate the account thinking they would give me back my contacts, but they are gone from there as well.  This is killing me! There has got to be a way to retrieve them.  I am angry about it all, but I just want my numbers and addresses back.

    Contacts are also part of your iphone backup. So in case you have an old backup from your phone, try to restore from and see if your contacts will appear again. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete the contacts again.

  • Upgraded iPhoto and lost all my pictures; how do I recover them?

    I updated to the new Iphoto on August 12 and not I can't find any of the pictures I had.  I can't find them anywhere on my hard drive.  Does updating delete all your pictures?

    No, updating does not.  Within your pictures folder in your user folder, is there an iPhoto Library file?  If so, is it large?  If it is, your pictures are still there.  Try starting iPhoto while holding option and command, this will rebuild your library.  If they are not in there, go to a recent backup or TimeMachine and restore the pictures to the folder.

  • HT4623 I updated and now I've lost my contacts, how do I recover them?

    I updated and now I've lost my contacts, how do I recover them?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program/cloud service that you have been syncing.
    If you have failed to sync you contacts then they are likely gone.
