My iphone Contacts Are A MESS!

I methodically went through and cleaned up my contact list on my phone so it would match my iCloud account.  Only when I did my last back up it wiped that all out on the 4S iPhone.  I know I did something wrong in iTunes but not sure what I need to do to make it right.  I would like the current iCloud contacts to be placed back on my iPhone.
Thank You for your time.

Download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  Check the contacts on your phone.  If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

  • How do i fix the fact that my daughter synced her iphone to my account now I have all of her conacts and most of mine on my phone. my contacts are a mess along with favorites

    my daughter synced her 3g in my account accidentally now since ive synced my iphone 4, her contacts and mine are combined and my contacts are a mess . example, my favorites have a few names and numbers but some are gone completely, and in contacts some are gone completely too. VERY Frustrated please help if you can. I use windows xp

    I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
    This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
    "iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
    Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
    I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

  • I just traded in my iPhone 4S for Samsung Galaxy 4S, still have iPad. Some of my iPhone contacts are unable to send me a txt that I can receive. But NOT all of my iPhone contacts. I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone.

    I just traded in my iPhone 4S for Samsung Galaxy 4S, still have iPad. Some of my iPhone contacts are unable to send me a txt that I can receive. But NOT all of my iPhone contacts. I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone. Txt msg is disabled on iPad. I have no idea what to do. I called the support line that I Pay $9.99 a month for. They told me to delete my iTunes account. Will I lose all my pics on my ipad? I have no music download. I'm getting ****** at this whole thing. And it allllllll started with apples update to the ios7.... I HATED IT. Help.

    What your iPhone using friends label your phone number in their contacts is irrelevant. I don't know who you pay $9.99 a month to but it's not Apple. You can't disable text messaging on your iPad as it is not capable of SMS.
    Do you still have the iPhone? If so, log out of iMessage on the iPhone.
    Try this:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "Edit Products"
    Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
    Click "Unregister"
    Also, try changing the password on your iTunes account.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

  • HT201269 My iphone contacts are not updating to Icloud, I can create a contact in Icloud and it will update to my phone but I cannot create a contact on my phone to have it update in the cloud, I am using Itunes as the bridge

    My iphone contacts are not updating to Icloud or Outlook, I can create a contact in Icloud/Outlook and it will update to my Iphone but I cannot create a contact on my Iphone to have it update in the Cloud/Outlook, I am using Itunes as the bridge. I originally installed the Icloud manager to sync my contacts to Cloud/Outlook, but I did not like the functionality, when I uninstalled the Cloud manager and and installed Itunes I noticed that the none of my contacts in the phone updated to Outlook.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT4872 My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced.  I want to un-sync them

    My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced.  I want to disconnect this function from my phone and be able to edit and remove all those contacts that are just email addresses.  How can I do this?

    Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > off > select "delete from my iPhone."  This will delete all of them. 
    If you want to selectively edit out what you don't want, keep them and manually edit your contact.

  • My iPhone contacts are only showing email address and not telephone number

    I have an iPhone 4S running OS6. For some reason of late my contacts are only displaying the email address and not the telephone number.
    I have repowered the phone a number of times but the issue still persists.
    Can any one tell me how to fix this ???

    Hi Kimberly,
    Try the following:
    1. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    2. Check where the Start New Conversation From is set to. If it's not your number, select your number.
    If the above doesn't work...
    1. In Settings > Messages, tap on iMessage to turn it off.
    2. Reboot phone and after the phone restarts turn iMessage back on.
    Hope those help!

  • HT1245 How do i know my iphone contacts are in my google account

    Are you accessing your Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail app and if so, do you have Contacts turned on for over the air syncing with your Gmail account settins on the iPhone?
    You can log in with your Gmail account via webmail access using a browser on your computer to check your Google online contacts.

  • Contacts are all messed up

    First switching contacts from my Torch 9800 to my Z10 was a nightmare. Now some seem to be on my phone and some on my sim card and when I try and transfer them it says some cannot be transfered. My big question is why are my contacts tied to an email address in the first place. Is there an option to just have contacts on my phone. No email required. That seemed to be part of my headache transfering from my torch to the Z10 is that some were with one email and some with another. I don't want them tied to any. If I look up a persons contact info they are in there once but if I hit text message and compose and type their name in they are in there two and some are in there three times all the same numbers. I'm guessing some are tied to several emails in my phone or maybe on my sim card and on my phone.

  • Iphone contacts deleted off husband work phone and mine are there

    I have an iphone with an icloud acct. My husband has an iphone for work that was installed with his work contacts.  We unfortunately without thinking added our itunes acct on his work phone.  Woke up and his work iphone contacts are gone.  How do we reset it back to his work numbers.  I guess the icloud changed his contacts?

    Unless you have a pre-DH backup of your iphone and/or Contacts to restore to, you can add this to your list of grievances when consulting a divorce attorney.
    Or get him to buy you a nice dinner at least!
