Lost Contacts After Software Update

i have nokia 6300 and i have recently updated the software. Unfortunately i could make a back up the data. i have lost now all my contacts in the phone memory. i need them desparately. Is there any possibility via which i can recover my contacts.
Thanks

I'm afraid not. If you didn't do a backup before updating the phone's firmware then they're gone.

  • Missing contacts after software update

    Contacts in iphone 4S disappeared over night after software update.  It is only showing contacts from my social sites such as facebook.

    Did you back up to the cloud, itunes, or email (like hotmail) before you updated?  If so, they are easily recoverable.  If not, then bye bye.

  • Restoring contacts after software update

    After software update i accidently clicked something like "treat as new iphone" instead of "use existing settings". Now I can synch programs and music but my contacts are gone. Is there a possibility to restore them?

    Unless you have been syncing your contacts with an app on your computer (Outlook, Mail) or cloud (MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, Exchange) as you should have, the contacts are permanently gone.

  • HT201272 Lost apps after software update

    Has anyone lost apps when they downloaded the new software? I had a magazine subscription which I now don't have since updating my iPad.

    They should be in the iTunes library on your computer.  Connect the device and sync what you would like to the device.
    The only time I've heard of apps not re-appearing on a device after an update is when a user interrupts the upgrade process.  Have you tried a restore of the device using the backup created just prior to the update?

  • Lost contacts after ios5 update

    I have lost all of my contacts after the ios5 update. for instance if i dail the number there name will pop up but when i go to contacts there is nothing there! please help!

    You need to turn off synching through the iCloud and synch through iTunes to your Outlook of Address Book however this will still leave you with linked/duplicate contact cards in your phone and your favorites contacts in the phone as well as all caller id photos etc. will be linked to the old contacts.  In order to get rid of those contacts what I did was added the simple change to the contacts I synched from the computer (I added an exclamation point to the notes sections).  Then synch to your iPhone through iTunes not through the iCloud, then search your iPhone for the first contact name you have in your list.  You will see this will bring up 2 contacts for the same person.  Select either contact then hit the back button.  You will then be in the contact list but you will see in this work around there will be 2 contacts listed for everyone.  Select the contact card and then delete it that does not have the added change so you can tell what is new and old.  This will leave you with the new contact cards and remove the corrupted/lost contacts.  You will lastly need to turn on the iCloud synch and either leave or remove those changes you made (like my exclamation points) from your new contacts.  This is a pain in the tail but the only way I was able to completely fix the issue.
    Good luck!

  • Recover lost files after software update n95

    I have updated the firmware on my phone, using OVI suite, software updater tool. I missed the warning that it would erase everything on my phone to do the firmware update. I lost my phonebook, surprisingly got deleted from the sim card as well. Is there any way to recover this data most importantly phonebook and photos?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately the answer is no, unless of course you have a backup or you previously synched it with something else.

  • Lost Contacts After Firmware Update

    Hi,
    I'm after a bit of help if anyone has any advice.  I flashed my N900 this weekend with the latest firmware update (it was Vodofone specific so had to flash it to the latest UK version).  I restored the backup after completing the firmware update and everything was great.  Hooked it up to PC Suite, ran the sync and it matched all 300 contacts.
    Last night I tried to edit a contact detail and it kept coming up with an "internal error" message.  I managed to do it by chaging the detail on my PC and syncing the contacts.  But today, when I looked for a contact my whole contacts list is gone!  It's wierd because my recent call history still shown names, but my contacts list is empty.  I synced my phone when I got home from work, but Nokia PC Sync completes the sync but I still don't see the contacts on my phone.  All the contacts are on the PC still.
    How can I fix this?  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    No, none were on the sim card.  I ran the backup before the firmware flash and then restored after the flash.  That was fine for a couple of days, but now I have no contacts showing in my contacts list.
    When connected to PC Suite I can see all of the contacts from the PC, but when I look on the phone the list is empty.  This is why the sync isn't doing anything because the PC can still see all of the contacts.

  • HT4623 lost contacts after os6 update

    updated phone to os6, lost all contacts..

    This happened to me. It's because the sync Contacts box becomes unchecked in the sync settings in iTunes. Open iTunes, find your phone in the left-hand column, click on Info (top), check the Sync Contacts box, then scroll down and click 'Apply' or 'Sync' bottom left. Your contacts will be restored from your computer to your iPhone.

  • Lost contacts after last update

    I just updated my IPhone 3 today and the phone got wiped out of everything, it restored instead of just updating.  I really need my contacts back.  Are they stored somewhere?  I can't figure out how to get them back

    The backup is seperate from syncing contacts.
    With an iCloud account with contacts turned on for over the air syncing with the account settings on your iPhone, contacts are synced over the air automatically as long as your iPhone has an internet connection via wi-fi or the cellular network.
    With an iCloud account you can have your iPhone backed up wirelessly when your iPhone is connected to a wi-fi network for internet access which will be done automatically when your iPhone is connected to a power source or this can be done manually. Or you can have your iPhone backed up automatically when syncing your iPhone with iTunes when connected to your computer USB as has always been available, which is done as the first step during the iTunes sync process. This is determined with your iPhone's backup settings with an iCloud account which is selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • LOST MY CONTACT DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE

    I LOST MY CONTACTS DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE A WEEK AGO , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST BACK UP HELD ON MAY 16, BUT FAILED , AM EVEN SURE I'V SELECTED ALL DATA BACKUP FOR ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BACKUP , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM ANY BUT FAILED , TRIED THE GMAIL CONTACTS ALSO FAILED , WONDERING WHERE MY CONTACTS I'VE SAVED FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS ARE GONE ....AM TOTTALY DISSAPOINTED SINCE AM A BLACKBERRY USER SINCE 5 YEARS ,  ALWAYS SUPPORTED  BLACKBERRY AGAINST IPHONE USERS , ALL MY FREINDS ARE NO MORE USING BLACKBERRY AND SWITCHED TO IPHONE OR SAMSUNG , AM HAVING AN EMPTY BBM LIST NOW , BUT  STILL SUPPORTING AND EVEN BOUGHT THE Z10 FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE , I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE , BUT CANT UNDERSTAND THE USELESS BACK UP I'VE ALWAYS DOING ! AND THE WORSE IS THAT LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE TURNED THE Z10 TO A WORSE MOBILE.

    Hum, it is worrying...
    So... your contacts seem to be on:
    Gmail,
    your previous backups.
    -Solutions:
    if all your contacts are on Gmail: copy them manually on your device,
    they are a priori all in your backups: wait that Link won't be in Beta anymore, and then restore.
    P.S.:
    You make backups and don't register your contacts on SIM, is it possible ? Personally, I rarely register contacts on SIM. If there is a malware, it can be charged from the SIM to the Phone, this is why.

  • A big deal of data lost after software update

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone will look into this problem. I have seen also here other reports of losing data after software update.
    I have a Nokia N73 Music Edition. Before I updated the firmware, I used Nokia PC Suite to backup all data in the phone memory as well as the phone settings. After a successful update, I tried to restore the backup. No error occured during the restoration. However, I found out many things hadn't been brought back to my phone, such as messages, notes, as well as landmarks that I saved in Nokia Maps.
    I want to know what is going on and if there is any hope to get back those lost pieces. Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Wei

    Sorry if your husband didn't backup your phone either to iTunes or icloud prior to updating your phone, then those data is gone.
