On iPhone4, can i restore only contacts and messages from my backup after restoring to factory defaults

Hi,
I have a iPhone4 and backed it up before reset to factory defaults. Now, I want to restore only contacts and messages stored in my backup.
Can someone let me know whether this is possible?
If yes, please help me with steps to restore only contacts and messages.
Thanks!

The restore from backup process is all or nothing, there is no selective restore process.

  • Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi.  I believe All my settings are correct.  Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

    Hi you can take to Apple Store they may Replace with a Refurbished, one but you will need to pay part of cost. Make an Appointment, if you do get Another iphone when you set it up Just use the same Apple, id & password then you will get all your Apps & Data back. Cheers Brian

  • HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM 3G TO 3GS

    I BOUGHT NEW 3GS 2012 MODEL 8GB , AND WANT TO TRANSFER MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM MY OLD 3G 8GB TO NEW 3GS.
    OLD 3G IS NOT SUPPORTING TO I CLOUD. HOW CAN I GET ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IN NEW 3GS?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Can you try first backing up your 3G with iTunes (I guess synching also does this) and then restoring your new 3GS using this backup.
    Note that this might delete all other data you have in your new 3GS (if any) and replace it with the data you have in 3G. This might also lower the version of your OS in your 3GS, however you should be easily update the OS if restore becomes successful.

  • How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
    I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
    Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.

  • Want to restore only contacts and messages

    i am upgradung from iphone 4 to iphone 5. I want back up my contacts, notes and messages and other documents to icloud but not pictures and music. should i simply delete the music and photos and then back it up to icloud ? will it help ?

    You could go into settings < iCloud <storage and back up. Tap manage storage, then your iPhone back up. You could turn off camera roll in here to not bring the photos back to the new device.
    After you have things off you want to not appear on your new device, you would want to go back a couple settings menu's and tap 'back up now' to make a fresh back up without the pictures, etc.
    After that, you'll restore from the last back up you just made on the new phone.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I sync my contacts and calendars from my iPhone?

    I know it seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I just got my iPad today and was trying to get my contacts and calendar that I have on my iPhone over to the iPad.  I then realized that none of my contacts and calendars that I have created on my phone are on my computer... So I went to iTunes>Devices>Info and checked to sync my calendars and contacts and also made sure the replaceinfo my my iphone with content on this computer was UNchecked... but nothing has shown up in my iCal or Contacts on the computer... I am unsure of what to do!

    I don't mean to sound silly, but after you checked to sync the info, did you do a sync?
    you do have the option to sync between devices via iCloud. however you may wish to back up the info if you can because iCloud ate all my contacts.
    Another more tedious way is to e-mail your contacts, one at a time, and open the e-mail on your iPad and computer and save it.

  • Can not restore to factory defaults with cd

    I am working on a Satellite A215-S7416 that had a unrecoverable virus problem.  Trying to restore back to factory defaults with the 2 restore cd's and I get an error: 0A-0224-0000, Cannot copy files.  Is my HDD bad?  If it is, how do I get warranty service taken care of?

    Here is the exact error from the Toshiba Recovery Error:
    An error has occurred.
    ERROR: 0A-0224-0000
    File copy failed'
    Please check (OK) to turn off the computer.
    The restore cd's had not been opened up prior to doing this restore.  Is there a way to get a copy of these cd's?  Thanks.

  • Restoring data from iTunes backup (only contacts and messages)

    Hello!  I've seen a lot of threads about restoring via iTunes but haven't found my particular situation yet.  So hopefully someone can give me some insight into my predicament.  I updated my iPhone 4S with io7 and my wifi broke.  So I got a new iPhone 4S with ios6 loaded on it.  I want to keep ios6 until Apple can figure out how to fix the wifi/bluetooth chip running hot.  I backed up my phone right before I swapped to the new 4S.  But when I try to restore from backup it won't let me because the backup I did was with ios7 and it wants me to upgrade my ios6 to ios7.  Obviously I don't want to do that only to have my new phone break again. 
    Options I see is pay for some 3rd party software that can restore my contacts, texts, etc. Upgrade to ios7 and pray it doesn't break again.  Get a new phone. 
    But I don't like any of those options.  I want to keep ios6 until they make me upgrade it. 
    Anyone have any ideas???
    Apreciate the help in advance.

    You already know the answer to your questions, whether you like them or not.

  • I have a new hard drive, can I pull my contacts and ical from my iphone?

    I have a new hard drive and I would like to pull my ical and contacts from my iphone to replace what I lost but when I sync my phone it doesn't bring the data onto my computer and if I choose sync calendar and contacts it seems to want to erase the phone and replace with the blank computer data. Any ideas?

    If you are running OSX Lion and iOS 5, you can sync via iCloud.
    What versions of OSX and iOS are you running?

  • Can't restore to factory default

    Hi All,
    Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I can't find any leads on the web to fix this.  I have a Thinkpad Edge 15 running Windows 7 64 and it's quite the mess.  I am trying to restore it to back to a factory fresh image but am having all kinds of problems. 
    First I boot to Rescue and Recovery and before I get any options I get a python error and it won't go any further.
    Then I created the media to do it via RnR after booting in safe mode, it creates a boot CD disc and 2 data DVD's.  When I try to boot with the initial CD I get a Windows Boot Manager error 'Status: 0Xc000000f   The boot selection failed because a required device is innaccessible'     
    I tried upgrading to RnR 4.5 but I get an error stating that it's not for this laptop (even though the readme file specifically says for Thinkpad Edge 15'
    I then installed the latest version of RnR 4.3, it errored out the first time, then seemed to install but that doesn't work at all now.
    So I am kind of stuck.  I have the Q: and S: drive so I don't know what the problem is for that boot CD.
    Any ideas on how to bring this laptop back to the factory install?
    Thanks in advance.

    not sure if you ever figured this out but i need a little more information to properly diagnose.  first off though, the last comment is correct that the Windows product key on "newer" models of Lenovo laptops are only located in two spots.  1.) the bottom of the laptop (which in time is heated up wears off and 2.) under the battery resolving the previous problem.  ok back to the information.  did your laptop come with the 64bit version from the factory?  have you upgraded or replaced any hardware in or on the laptop at anytime?  including any factory replacements or upgrades at anytime?  if so what?  has the laptop ever ran extremely hot at anytime or hot enough to shut itself down?  has the laptop ever run or been powered on with the bottom panel removed?  have you tried a different brand of cd/dvd to make the recovery disk set? have you tried recovery from an external HDD/SSD or USB flash drive?  Are you trying to recover the laptop, when attempting recovery and making the disk set, with a built in optical drive or an external unit?  those are all just a few basic techy questions i would be asking myself and basic troubleshooting steps i would try first.  if i were to GUESS from what little information provided, and nothing else, it looks to be a hardware issue...  good luck and hoping you have already resolved your issue or are able to resolve from this forum.
