My iphone was stolen. I blocked it on icloud. I bought a new one. Now I need the contacts from the stolen one that is now blocked. Can I get it?

If the contacts on the old phone were synced to a mail account or iCloud account, then they will be easy to recover. Just sign into your iCloud account on the new phone (Settings > iCloud) and then enable the 'Contacts' option. If the contacts were stored in your iCloud account, they will now appear on the phone.
If the contacts were stored in a mail account such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc, then add that mail account to the phone in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. Then make sure the 'Contacts' option is enabled here as well.
If that still doesn't work you may need to try to recover them from an iCloud or iTunes backup of the old phone -- do you have one of those?

I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?
You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

I was upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. The old files in my profile backed up. When relaunching the iPhone, I decided to create new profile on the iPhone, thinking I could copy my old contacts from the old profile (as iCloud seems to merge all contacts). When the ne profile was created on the iPhone, the old profile on iTunes disappared without a trace. Please help restore my contacts.
Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?

A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.

I remotely wiped my iPhone on Saturday night...Sunday afternoon I restored my iPhone to settings from a while ago. I was not near a wifi to connect my phone to icloud. I noticed on icloud that there are contacts on the cloud that i would like to add to my phone. Is there a way now that I can add the contacts that are on cloud to my iphone?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any contacts that are in iCloud will be restored to your phone when you sign back into iCloud and enable iCloud syncing. -
How can I remove contacts from Iphone 4 without removing contacts from cloud or Iphone 4s?
I started deleting the Iphone 4 contacts for a trial....It also deleted the Iphone 4s contacts at the same time. I was afraid to erase all would mean that I lost all that has been loaded to Iphone 4s.

Dear experts,
Kindly could you advise back if it's possibel to recover contact list from an iPhone device that has been reset?
please note that the iTunes backup file is corrupted and itunes is treating the iPhone as new device.
thank youunless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

Restore contacts from the iPhone to our iMac?
Recently the hard drive in our iMac crashed and needed replacements. We want to restore the contacts from the iPhone. How do we make that happen?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you would have to enter a unique contact in your computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge. -

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?
Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products. -

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?
I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access. -
Because when I plug my itouch into itunes, and go to the "app" tab, i can't drag the apps onto the left side. So i was wondering if i would have to repurchase the apps that i've bought earlier for my itouch.
You can make the 'Apps' tab show up below 'Library' by going to: Preferences>General>Show (and then click the checkmark beside 'Apps').
No, you shouldn't have to re-purchase your apps. If you search "Add apps to iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad" in the iTunes Help menu it should come up with a step-by-step explanation of how to add the apps. You should be able to click on the name of your iPod Touch in the left-hand column (where it shows up when it is plugged in). After you click on it, you should be able to go to the 'apps' tab in the large center-to-right-hand area of iTunes, and click on it. Then you should be able to either click and drag the apps from the left-hand column (under the apps tab, in the center-to-right-hand side of iTunes) onto one of the little 'home screens' at the far right. If you don't want to drag each app individually, there should be an option (checkbox) that you could select which would allow you to sync all apps to your devise.
I hope that helps. Some of it is a little hard to explain through text. -
i was updating my iPhone and it is stuck. It won't complete the update and I cannot turn the phone off or use it at all. How can i get it unstuck?

My iphone was off for almost two weeks and once i cut it back on i only recieved text messages but no imessages that i KNOW were sent to my phone... is there anyway i can see them or no?
Hi,
In Messages on the Mac do you have the Preferences > Messages section set to "Save History when Conversations are Closed" ?
This will store all IMs and iMessages in ~/Library/Messages/Archive.
Use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type that path into the Dialogue box that appears. (~/Library/Messages/Archive).
They are stored in dated folders so some guessing/trail and error will be needed.
You may find that if this was an iMessage and you send the person a new message that the whole History with that Contact since you installed Mountain Lion/Started Messages may appear and that it is scrollable the closer you get to the "top" and the top may keep moving until all is on show.
