Recovering Contact Information FROM an iPhone

I've seen a lot of tips on how to recover information that's been lost from an iPhone, but I'm trying to do the exact opposite.
Recently I had to reinstall Windows on my computer and lost all the contact information I used to sync to my iPhone. The only place where that information exists anymore is on my iPhone, but I'm afraid it'll disappear if I do another complete sync with this computer.
Is there a way to get that info off of my iPhone and back into my computer so I can access it there?

You don't need Outlook of ANY version for syncing contacts. Copied from my previous post.
With Windoze, you can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, *or with Windoze Contacts for syncing contacts only.*
Windoze Contacts is included with Windoze - the address book used by Outlook Express with XP and earlier where it is named Windoze Address Book, and with the address book used by Windoze Mail with Vista and 7 - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista and 7.
Since you didn't read the first sentence with my previous post very carefully, I'll repeat the following which was also copied from my previous post.
Enter one contact in whichever supported application on your computer you are syncing contacts with - make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
So enter one contact in Windoze Contacts if the application does not include ANY contact info before the first sync to ensure the merge prompt is provided with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windoze Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with Windoze.

  • How do I recover contact list from my Iphone 4?

    How do I recover contact list from my Iphone 4 if I do not have ICloud and do not have the ITunes sync installed/

    If you don't have backups, theres really not much that can be done other than to have everyone you know send you their numbers/emails again.
    Also, backup your contacts twice from now on. Use iCloud and Lookout Mobile Security.
    Make regular iPhone backups to keep this from happening again.

  • Can someone help me recover my contact list from my iphone 3gs, if the phone is stolen?

    I am in a really bad situation...i really need to somehow recover my contact list from my iphone 3g, but the phone was stolen along with the sim card. I did a backup on my phone a couple months ago, but it was on a friends computer,which they no longer have. So my question is there anyway for me to retrieve the contact information online maybe? .... help!!

    No.  Sorry.
    You should have been syncing them with your computer regularly.

  • My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account.  When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared.  How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

    My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account.  When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses.  The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

        Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
    If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
    I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • None of the information from the iphone calendar has uploaded?

    I have been able to upload all my contacts, (with full postal addresses) from my iphone4 to icloud...but none of the information from the iphone calendar has uploaded?

  • HT5085 how do i deactivate my contact number from my iphone without handset

    how do i deactivate my contact number from my iphone without handset

    Hi pauline203,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    See these instructions if you would like to unlink your phone number from an Apple ID you used with your iPhone:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    If you no longer have the iPhone, try this method:
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    You can find the article with this information here:

  • Hi, I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone, for me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account?  Many thanks.

    hi everyone, first time using this forum!
    I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone. For me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account?  Many thanks.

    You should only use one Apple ID for both phones.  All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them.  If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music.  It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

  • I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

    I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • How do i get contact information from my i pad to my desk top pc?

    How do I get my contact information from my I pad to my desk top pc?

    From the contact application or cloud service you regularly sync to. Don't do that? Big mistake. You can "try" retrieving them from your iTunes backup, but you'll need third-party software to do so:
