Reset slow iPhone 5 and now I've lost my contacts. Help!!
I have an iPhone 5 which started running inexplicabley slow. I closed all open programs but still if I twisted my phone and the app tried to rotate from portrait to lanscape the screen image would freeze at about 20 degree angle instead of just twisting 90.
I reset the phone (presssed Home button/on/off button) and it started back up. I've now lost all my contacts.
I've not backed up to iCloud for a long while because it said the storage was full and I didn't have money to invest in more space. But once in a while I back up to my PC.
I just plugged my phone into my PC, got distracted and noticed it had auto synced - I'm hoping that's not wiped my contacts!!! I'm too nervous to try anything right now.
What are my options? I'd rather not restore an entire backup (if I still have that option) as I have chats in messenger apps I need to keep and photos too (which are still present). I really just want to restore my contacts ONLY - nothing else - is this possible now?
Can anyone help?
I beleive they were synced with iCloud before I ran out of storage I then backup to my PC periodically.
My contacts switch is off, I have now slid this across and no contacts have come back. Is there any other steps necessary for me to take? Switch my phone off or reset again?
Thanks for your assistance!

I have reset my iphone 5c and now it has the apple logo on the screen. Nothing is happening, apart from the screen going off for a few seconds, only to go back to black screen and white apple log. I have tried holding home and lock buttons for 10 seconds, but to no avail. I did a reset on settings as the IOS 8 was just slowing down my phone horrendously. How do i sort this please ?
Hi MartinH78,
If your iPhone isn't responding or won't start up past the Apple logo, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Hi Rhiannon.A,
Try to reset all setting on your phone and see. If issues still persist try to back up your phone using iTunes and restore it using computer. -

Problem, I reseted my iPhone 4S and now I don't know how to get back files. I bought WhatsApp and some other games with money. Can I get them back? I have iCloud account.
Not sure what it is you are asking, but you can redownload apps from the purchased section of the app store.

I recently did an update to my iphone 4s and now I have lost all my custom ringtones as well as some music I had loaded. I did a restore and backup but nothing changes. What have I done wrong?
Hello Chance1985,
Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.

I just backed my iPhone up and now I have lost all of my recent info. How can I get it back to how it used to be
Did you fail to import your photos before updating? If so, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. If that fails then they are gone. You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating? If so, then you will have to redownload:

You can possibly find it if you have Find My iPhone enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone along with Location Services being enabled. -

I updated and now I've lost my contacts, how do I recover them?
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program/cloud service that you have been syncing.
If you have failed to sync you contacts then they are likely gone. -
Husband updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5 and now I have nothing, no contacts, no calendar, no photos, no texts , How do I get them back? I am lost without them. Feel like my phone is now just a phone.
The same thing happened with me. I was updating my husband's iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, and it lost his calendars and contacts. When I did the update, I let it do a sync and backup first.
Since that time, I tried to do a restore, and it only saw a back up from October, 2010. Where are backups stored? Are they invisible files on the mac? His laptop is a 13" macbook running 10.6.8. -
I resetted my iphone 5s and now it says device unknown. What should i do?
I havent had service for 2 days now (tmobile), one of the technicians told me to do a reset and so i did but now it says device unknown and directed me to the "Service Answer Center" link. What should I do?
iOS 7 is a developer Beta only, it can only be installed by registered developers, and issues with the beta can only be discussed in the private Developer forums.
If you are not a developer, we can't help you as the forum rules prohibit us from discussing the Beta version issues here, and you forfeited support including help from these forums by installing a beta software not intedned for final users at this time.
There is nothing we can do to help here. You are on your own. -

Apple considers jailbreak a violation of terms of use. Doing it voids your warranty with Apple and you give up your right to support from this forum.

I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care. I tried to do with iTunes, and iTunes even sees this iphone, but it`s like blank, there is nothing I can do in iTunes. It uploaded last software for this iPhone 4, but when it tries to do the reserve copy of iphone first, it shows a mistake. And ask to disconnect and connect the device again, which, obviously, doesn`t help.
This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Is this the case...?
If so...
Then... Sorry... But...
The discussion of Jailbroken Devices is against the Terms of Use of this Forum.
You will need to look elsewhere.
