Restore contacts from stolen phone
Hello all,
My Nokia 6234 has been stolen and I am desperate to get hand on those contacts I had there. I have synced the phone several times with the computer via Nokia PC suite 6.81.13.0, but in my Outlook - which was supposed to be synced with PC suite - there are only names, but no numbers, nowhere!!! And I am not able to find any other contact file whatsoever. Please help. Thanx for advice!
Wow, such a fast reply! Yes I used PC sync, but the log says it had to be stopped due to problems and it seems, thet according to the protocol nothing has been synced, but I know, that in my phone there were some info from the computer.
When I added numbers to my phone I used standard fields, ie. phone number (standard) and work contacts.
Is there any file, where the contacts could be hidden in my computer?

How to get contacts from stolen phone
my iphone got stolen and when i try to track it on icloud it says its offline and i need to figure out how to get all my contact back but they wont show up on icloud when i go to contacts
If they aren't showing in iCloud, then you may not have been syncing your contacts to iCloud. Could you have been syncing with another service? Like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc? If not, I'm sorry.

Help! My whole family shares one apple ID and one of us deleted a large amount of contacts from our phone, not realizing that they would be deleted from all of our devices. Is it at all possible to restore an archive of our contacts? Is there such a thing?
icloud is designed so that only one user uses it to keep his/her devices in sync. Problems such as yours occur when multiple users use the same account - icloud is not designed for that.
If a user is using your account, they should get their own account and disconnect from your account.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Once they have a new account, they should go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
Note that an ID used for iCloud does not have to be the same ID used for iTunes. You can all keep the same iTunes store Apple ID to share purchases, but for iCloud, use different IDs. -
I deleted an e-mail account from my I Phone. Unfortunately it deleted all of the contacts from my phone. Is there a way to restore those contacts?
Add the account back to your phone and enable contacts syncing with the account and the contacts will reappear on your phone. If you want them in iCloud, you'll have to copy them to your iCloud account. If you need assistance doing this, reply back and I'll help you.

Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc. -

If I delete a contact from my phone book, the number is still there when I go to type in a name to send a text message to, and is listed as 'other number'.
Can anyone please tell my why this is and how I can delete a number completely?
Thanks.Th einformation is stored in cache memory on the phone. The only way to get rid of it is to restore the phone as new and you will lose data and settings. Eventually the cache will be overwritten so just ignore it

whilst updating boyfriends iPhone 4 it got accidentally unplugged from iTunes's .
when reconnected it starting syncing all contacts from my phone and did not list his phone in
the devices drop down bar.
help everything gone from his phone and now he has some of my contacts and his phone says
its called Emma iPhone now instead of Tony's iPhone.
where has his back up data got stored?Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
I'm having problem with my icloud account,I don't have access to the email i once used to set up my icloud account,this is really affecting me,I can't backup and restore anything from my phone and device..Can somebody help?
Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

How do i restore contacts from a previous icloud backup?
Somehow - half of my contacts have disappeared.
I turned icoloud backup off , but the most recent backup is missing those contacts as well.
i am pretty sure that the previous backup have the full contacts that i want to restore.
Don't want to restore the entire phone.
how can this be done ? will icloud drive help ?If you turned iCloud backup off and deleted the backup, you won't have an earlier iCloud backup to restore from. Your most recent backup, if you didn't delete it, may have your contacts if it was made before the contacts were lost. However, you have to follow this process to restore contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. Otherwise the recovered contacts will be deleted as soon as your device reconnects to iCloud (making you think that they weren't included in the backup).

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?
I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new. -
See above. I need to get rid of these contacts.
Delete the Contacts from your phone.
Go to Settings > iCloud.
Delete the iCloud Account, but keep the data on your phone.
Go back into Settings > iCloud and set up the account again, and manually create a new backup.
That will help your iCloud backup to be 'correct' from now on. For the contacts appearing as you create a new text message, that will probably last for a while.
Otherwise, you have to start completely fresh & new; no restoring from any backups. -
My husband and I use the same apple ID. I started using a new iPhone and deleted his contacts from my phone which has also deleted them from his phone. He hasn't backed up his phone but my iPad is backed to iCloud. Can I retrieve the contacts from this?
In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.
