Lost Contact when I upgraded to 7.5.2/iOS5
When I upgraded to 10.7.2/iOS5, my wife's iPhone3GS address book was lost. I thought I had backed it up via iTunes (under her phone designation), but when I finished the conversion, her iPhone3GS had MY AddressBook/Contacts. Note: My iPhone4 AddressBook converted accurately. Can I get her contacts back from Time Machine?
Unfortunately, the loss is a result of upgrading to 10.7.2 and iOS5. Throw into the mix that I've updated my iTunes as well to 10.5. All this was done to lead into a smooth transition to iCloud and all the features of the OS updates. Like I said, my contacts in Address Book and on my iPhone4 Contacts went well. It's my wife's information that was lost and replaced with MY contacts. Her iPhone3GS is running iOS5 now. Since I've been syncing her phone since before the transition, I was hoping to retrieve her contacts from Time Machine prior to Oct.12.
Is THAT possible? How do I achieve this?

Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'. -

I have done everything on this page to activate my iMessage! I somehow lost it when I upgraded to the iOS 6 version.
Does anyone have any creative suggestions??themaluna wrote:

the latest version of GB for iOS requires the latest version of GB for the Mac which is version 10 (which is free, but also requires OS X 10.9 [though that is also free]) -
How can I retrieve my phone contacts? I lost them when I upgraded to IOS 8.2
I upgraded to IOS 8.2 and now have only Facebook Contacts on my phone. All other phone contacts are gone. And, I can no longer "add" new contacts as the + sign no longer appears in the top right corner of my contact screen. Need advice and help. Apple Support is closed right now.
Good Afternoon Krista1961,
If you are not seeing your contacts on your iPhone, follow the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the issue. Do you see your contacts when you access www.icloud.com?

Lost contact in maverick upgrade, how do i get them back on my mac
I lost my contacts in marverick upgrade, how do I find them and migrate them back? I can't get them back through icloud either
I guess I have a bigger problem with contacts. I can find a vcard on the drive, I right click and say to open in contacts and it won't even open the contacts. It won't allow me to import (that option is grayed)
When I open the contact app is only has this:
<null> (0 cards)
at the bottom I have the + but it doesn't allow me to add anything.
It will not allow me to export a vcard
I go to edit template and THINK I am making changing but nothing happens. It is like the program got corrupted? Is that possible? I can't get anything to come down from the cloud, I can't import from my exchange server, I can't get anything from google or any account -
DBCA Producing ORA 12547 TNS lost contact when I try to create a database
Hi all!
I just installed Oracle 11GR2 (only software not creating a database) on Oracle Linux 6.4 64 Bit via Oracle VM VirtualBox. I created a new Listener to create a database. It looks working. But when I try to create a new database with dcba; I had an ORA-12547 TNS lost contact after I had specified all options for creating the database. I'm too new to get what's going on here. Already, the Oracle Software has occured a few errors while the installation. But the software has been installed successfully at the end. Maybe I went wrong from the beginning. What should I do about managing that ORA error? Can anybody suggest me something?
Btw I have installed the all installations with information on this link: ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Installation On Oracle Linux 6
If we consider that I did nothing after those installation, what should the next step be to create a database successfully?Hi all!

Lost contacts when upgrading ios and merging to cloud
I recently upgraded to iOS ver 6.0 Came to a question to "merge with Cloud". I had not intentionally used iCloud before but assuming merge ment the union of what was on iCloud and what was on phone, checked yes.
All my contacts were lost! on the phone. I have gone through the advice to turn off contacts/cloud etc to no avail.
The original data is not on the icloud.com!
Is there any way to recover original contacts?
thanks!They will be in whatever program/cloud service you have been syncing.
If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
Need to restore from and older backup because I lost all my contacts when I upgraded my phone
my backup that was created is saying it needs a password and I didn't give it one. Which password is it requesting? Also the second question is how do I restore from a old back up, I am needing to get my contacts back.
If the backup is asking for a password you may have turned on backup file encryption. If this is the case, and you don't remember the encryption password you could be out of luck.

Lost all of my contacts when i upgraded to the new software
does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts? they are still on my main mac but will not transfer to my iphone....help!
Have been reading many entries about Contacts vanishing from the iPhone, or even the application's icon altogether...!
My Contacts were still on my Mac and on MobileMe.
So, with No Contacts on my iPhone's screen, I just entered a new one, and just called it Test. iPhone started to sync and the Test address soon vanished. But after ten minutes, I got all my old Contacts back on my iPhone. -
Lost contacts when updating to OS 5
I updated my iphone 4g to OS5 last night and lost all of my contacts. Is there a way to download my contacts from my imac back onto my phone?
When I go to settings, then icloud, if I scroll to the very bottom of icloud, the very last thing I can do is 'delete account.' Does that mean delete the icloud account?
Ian, I see that you have answered many questions from several people on this board and I for one want to thank you for taking the time to do so. I' ve had my iphone for quite a while and am still very afraid of it. I use it for the phone, getting my emails, and messaging. I have never used any of the other features.
Now that I updated and lost my contacts, it confirms why I am so afraid of it.
I would never use icloud so I can't even tell you why I got it. -
Lost contacts when the iCloud turned on
I turned on the iCloud on my iOs 6.1.4 iPhone 5, and turned on the contacts (it was the first time that I configured the iCloud account, so it asked me to merge with the iCloude contacts. Since it was a fresh iCloude account, I opted the option to merge the contacts). But when I checked the recent caller log, I noticed that some of my contacts are lost. Is there anyway I can get back my contacts?
Kilted Tim
It worked! Thank you.
Now I just need to delete the email address that are cluttering up my phone contact list.
Again, thanks. -
Lost Contacts on Version Upgrade
I allowed the system to upgrade the ITunes version to 4.1 and without thinking it ask to sync with outlook which I never do -
For some reason it bombed out and when the sync was done - my contacts were gone. I tried to restore from a backup but its giving me an error message - "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup could not be saved in the computer"
My first choice is to find the most recent backup and just restore -
I may have an old system backup from a month ago - but how can I find the iTunes file to restore??
Any help.The below is from: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Where backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files.
I hope you are not dependent on your backup to save your contacts. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported contact management application like Outlook, Windows Contacts, Exchange services (like google or your companies hosted exchange server). -
Lost contacts when turned cloud off
I lost the contacts on my iphone 4S when a tech guy at work turned off my cloud and had my contacts update to Outlook. I turned the cloud back on, but don't know how to get the contacts back. Now I have duplicates and triplicate contacts, but the phone numbers are all gone.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You may have opted to have iCloud data overwrite your iPhone data rather than merge it.
What happens if you turn off contact syncing on the phone, some users have reported that their contacts are restored. -
Lost contacts when I connected to cloud
I own an iMac and an iPhone. I have been syncing directly to the iMac rather than using iCloud but I decided to start using iCloud to sync. When I connected both my iMac and iPhone to the iCloud I lost many phone numbers on my iphone. Is there any way I can get them back?
