Lost contacts list

lost all contacts in latest update. how can i retrieve them?

Check for locally created backups. Should be:
Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7
\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista
\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Mac OS X
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Then use iPhone Backup Extractor to recover data and after easily import your contacts.
Good luck!

Lost CONTACT list after SIM card change requested by operator

Dear All, this is my first post, so please bear with me. I am recurring to this forum to ask for HELP on an issue that is really annoying, specially after spending over an hour with a BlackBerry Support Person who tried many steps to solve the issue without any luck [it was obvious this person did not have the technical expertise to handle the problem at hand]. Here's the story: Last week I received on the mail a new SIM card with a letter indicating I had to replace my "old" SIM card with this new one, after receiving a text message from the operator. On Friday I received the SMS and proceeded with the change. Prior to exchanging SIM Cards, I asked the Call Center Agent if this would cause any problems with my 8520 BB. The answer was NO, all the configuration info remains on the device, and not on the SIM card. Well, this was not the case and some applications lost their configuration: email and contacts. Curiously, the BBM service was unaltered. So I would like to know how can I get back my Contact List? (the email service was quickly and easily reconfigured). Apparently my old Contact list is somewhere in the Device's memory... but a New Contact List has been created after the SIM Card change. I know this because when I press the Call History, all the contacts' info is available ... but when pressing the Contacts Address I can only see 1 contact. Any ideas???? Thank You All.

This is a fun little (and I mean little) problem. Let's walk through it here.
1) Some applications lost email and contact configurations.
A) I'm not entirely sure what you mean in particular as far as the email problem goes. Were the e-mails still set up, but you weren't receiving them? Most likely because the new SIM card contained a new ID number. If you were to go to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Tables, press the menu button, and hit Register...that should fix your problem there.
2) BBM Service was unaltered.
A) This is because the BBM service is reliant on the PIN number unique to your device (not your SIM card).
3) Lost contact list, but still showing in the call history.
A) Your call history is just data stored on the device, the only time your contact history is access when sending and making a call is just a simple check to see if you have the information stored already to match a name to it. The data stored in history is it's own entity. I explained this in a slightly confusing manner, but it's slightly irrelevant.
It's entirely possible that your contact list was stored on your SIM card and not to your device. Try this out:
-Insert your old SIM card into your phone
-Open up your contacts and hit the menu button
-Scroll down and select "SIM Phone Book"
-Here you should see the list of contacts if they were truly stored on your SIM and not your phone.
-Hit the menu button again, and choose "Copy all to Contacts"
Once the process is complete, you may reinsert the new SIM card and continue on using the phone as normal.
Hope this helps!

How to restore my contact list on my phone?

a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.
If that doesn't work settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
If that doesn't work, contact your cell phone provider.

Lost Contact List and other issues

I am writing in hope someone here can help with an issue we are having with one of our phones. We both have the Incredible 2, mine is working just fine, but as of last night, my SO's phone has been giving him a Google error and then force close. He cannot access his contact list, the text messages are not showing up with either names or pictures, and he cannot send emails using his phone any longer. Has anyone had this issue before? If so, how can we fix it? The only thing that he did differently last night was install an app (from the University of Phoenix) to access his online classroom. Since doing that, the phone has been running all crazy. He has since deleted that app, along with several others that he no longer uses, took the battery out, rebooted several times and it is STILL not working.
We need some help please!!

Reset the device......
SETTINGS---> SD AND PHONE STORAGE----> FACTORY DATA RESET
All your contacts should return to the device when you re enter your Google email and password at the startup screen after the reset. Your contacts come from different places so don't compare your list until you have all your accounts set up again. (All emails, all social network accounts.). Also, it is very important to enter your Gmail account first at the startup menu. Then add your other ones after that. This will insure your Google phone will run properly.
Do not be afraid to reset any Android phone as needed. Also, use the menu key in the Market to see that all of your downloaded apps are up to data on your phone. This helps your phone run smoothly.
Sometimes Apps work on some phones and not others. It happens. The developers of these apps need to know this and if you want, you can contact any of them personally on their app page.
Hope this helps....

How to recover the lost contact list if I had not done the back up yet

Anyone knows how to recover the lost contact from iPad which is over write by using iCloud without back up yet ?

Oh , it's terrible !

How to recover lost contact list

All of my contact list has disappeared. Is there any way to recover it?

Are these iCloud contacts?
Are they available when you sign in to iCloud.com with your Apple ID from a wb browser on your computer?
If so:
Settings > iCloud > turn off Contacts, delete from phone if prompted (to avoid the possibility of duplicates), wait for it to finish then turn it back on. This will force a re-push from iCloud.com.

Retrieving Lost Contacts List

I had to restore my 3g from being a brick when it messed up with 3.0 update and i was trying to do it and after trying so many ways (one of them being delete all itunes stuff on your pc) i cant get my contacts back through just itunes now.
I have all the stuff i deleted in my recycle bin but i dont want to restore them all and have something mess up again - does anyone know the file on windows xp that holds my contacts and notes and calender? more so Contacts than anything but i had some info saved in my notes id like to get back as well if possible.
Thanks

Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. This can be with the Address Book on your Mac and is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Were you syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac with your old iPhone and if not, why not?
You can't selectively choose which data included with your iPhone's backup is transferred to a new iPhone, or restored on your iPhone when restoring the iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. It is all or none.
If all contact info that was available on your old iPhone was not included with the iPhone's backup that was transferred to your new iPhone and you weren't syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, the contacts may be lost.
If your old iPhone is still available along with the contact info, sync your old iPhone with the Address Book on your Mac, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences. Follow this by selecting the same under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

Lost contact list

Hi again, did another dumb thing, sync'd my iphone with all my contacts to my new imac, and i misunderstood a question, thinking i was sending all my contacts to the new imac. Instead by syncing, i removed all my contacts !!
Any way i can get them back?

You should have copied everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Do that. Then sycn the iphone.

Tour 9360 w/sprint lost contact list

I have a Tour 9360 with sprint I formatted the phone thinking I had a backup but no backup is there anyway too automatically get contacts back

I'd check the HotSync log to see what it says is going on - it's not normal for a battery removal to have such an effect. If the data is on your PC in either Outlook or Pam Desktop than you need not worry. It will come back once you figure out what error is causing the issue. I suggest you soft reset the Treo and restart your PC, then synchronize again. It might be wise to set the contacts conduit to Desktop overwrites handheld by clicking on the HotSync icon in the Windows tray (bottom right group of icons). Choose HotSync | Custom... and then double click the Contacts or Address Book conduit to set this setting. It will ensure your data on the PC is protected.
The card has no effect on the contacts.
The software upgrade is worth taking. It will have no effect on the HotSync abilities - this area is not affected.
