Lost iphone, retrieving contacts ?

Hello,
I lost my iphone, and i'd like to retrieve my contacts saved in itunes without using another Iphone, and I did not synchronize my contacts with outlook. Is that possible because i have an another phone which is not an iphone (for the moment) so i would like to know if i can get my contacts back ?
Thanks everybody for your answer.

Since you have lost your iPhone, you cannot restore with iTunes. However, as long as you have an iTunes backup, you can extract the lost contacts from previous iTunes backup using an iPhone backup extractor.
Even if you haven’t backed up your iPad with iTunes manually, iTunes might have backed up it automatically each time you sync your iPhone 3GS with iTunes.
In addition, you can copy the contacts from your old phone to your phone, or sync the phone with some cloud service that you used to sync your iPhone data previously, e.g. Google Contacts. This 6-method iPhone contacts recovery blog will be helpful.

  • Lost iPhone 4 Contacts

    I emptied my Mac laptop address book thinking that next time I sync'd my iPhone with the laptop I'd get the address book from my iPhone... wrong. I was left with only 2 contacts and lost over 180, not a good start.
    However, I have a simple solution, try going to 'settings', 'mail, contacts, calendars' and 'import SIM contact'. Chances are you migrated your contacts from an old phone and they're there.
    I will find a better back-up solution in future! Hope this helps...

    I would hope so. All you need is an external hard drive.

  • Lost iPhone without contacts backed up

    My dad lost his iPhone today somewhere out in a 2,000 acre ranch and he can't find it. I didn't set up his backups so I don't think we have a current back up of his contacts. I can see the phone in the Find iPhone app, and have contact with it. Is there any way I can back up his contacts virtually even though we can't physically find it? I'm desperate -- and 8 hours away from being able to help at all. It is an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2 on it.
    Thanks!

    No. I was afraid of that. I was just hoping there was some way we could manage it from afar. Darn it.
    Thanks!

  • Lost  iphone - how to I retrieve contacts?

    Hi there
    I have lost my iphone.  I did back everything up onto my i tunes library.  Is there a way I can access these without plugging in my phone?

    if you connect another ios device and choose restore new device with backup from old then you get everything from your backup on the new device
    otherwise it's a bit more work
    with 3th party programs

    Hi
    I lost all my contacts etc on my Iphone 4, how can I retrieve them from Icloud, and how can I check the content of my Icloud backup copy?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your back up via iCloud is only for use for restoring your phone after wiping it. You can't inspect or utilise specific parts of the back up.

  • HT4972 I did the software update on my iphone to iOS and have lost all my contacts.  How can i retrieve them? Please help

    Please help me, i have lost all my contacts during a software update and have no idea how to retrieve them.

    If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been keeping your contacts safe on your computer in Outlook or Address Book, or safe with a cloud service like Google. 
    Your contacts should be there safe and sounds ready to synch back to your iPhone.
    Not using your phone as recommended and only using your phone as the sole place for contacts?  Well, you've just learned a hard lesson.  They're gone.

    Why don't you just restore the to your pc from your most recent backup? You'll get the warning about erasing the media on the phone, but since you'll have all of your media and apps restored from backup, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

  • I backed up my iphone 3 and lost my current contacts

    I backed up my husbands old iphone 3 and lost any current contacts and texts that he had.  Is there a way to retrieve the current info?

    If you're using your phone as recommended, your contacts reside on your computer in Outlook, Address Book, or with a cloud service.  Just synch your contacts to your phone from your computer or cloud service.

  • Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

    can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts on my home computer?

    This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
    Could I...
    Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
    Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • Backed up iphone 4S before updating to ios 6 and now all data is lost. PHOTOS, CONTACTS, MESSAGES ALL GONE. help?!

    Can someone please help...
    Before updating itunes backed up the phone. It then proceeded to update to the ios 6, afterwards when restoring all photos, contacts, messages... all data... was lost. Only the apps were restored back onto the phone. I used a back up from when i first got the phone in 2011 to restore it too so i have some photos and contacts... HOWEVER, over 2000 photos are lost and some contacts still from the recent back up and restore after updating to ios6.
    Any help as to how to get these back?!

    Hi MorganClare990,
    Do you know if you have a backup on another comptuer or maybe iCloud?
    If you had Photo Stream on you might be able to get any photo that is less than 30 days old back from iCloud if you don't have a backup.
    Make sure you have a WIFI connection available and the correct password for that network before continuing with the next steps.
    The easiest way to find out if you have a backup without mixing your boyfreinds data into your iCloud account is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.  You will need to be able to connect to the WIFI network to be able to restore your phone from any iCloud backup you have.  If no backup can be found then it will have you setup the iPhone as new and will walk you through the steps to make sure a backup gets created in the future.  If you have to setup as new it will also get photo stream setup and will retrieve any pictures it can.
    Hope this helps and you get your pictures and contacts back!

  • The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

    The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

    My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

    Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)?  And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?
