Restore to new,  is there a way to get contacts only back

I want to reinstall my os 3.1.3 as my phone has been a bit doggy.
I would like to just manually put stuff back on it.
Right now I do not sync my contacts as I have a limited amount on my phone as opposed to my
computer and I want to keep it that way.
Is there a way to some how back up the contacts on my phone? and then restore just the contacts?
Or do I have to retype the 75 I have.
thanks
Laura

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup.

    Then restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.

  • My daughter restored her ipod in error, is there any way to get her library back?

    My daughter restored her ipod in error, is there any way to get her library back?

    It should all still be there in iTunes. Just reload the iPod from your iTunes library. Only the music on the iPod is gone, not the music in the library.
    If she was synced with someone else's computer, then she will have to re-load from that computer.
    If she bought music directly onto her iPod and never backed it up into iTunes (baaad idea), then she will have to contact Apple customer service for a one-time replacement on the purchases that she had on file.

  • Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase? I no longer have them stored on my harddrive.

    Thanks to a wonderful geeksquad agent all my songs have been deleted from my ipod. They had to restore my computer so the ones I downloaded are no longer on my harddrive or in itunes. Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase?

    If they are on the iPod there are third-party programs that will transfer then to  a computer. See:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    If they ae not on either the iPOd or the computer they are gone.

  • I did a system retsore to 2 weeks ago. I have had firefox for 2 years on this computer. Now firefox will nolonger open. I know i can download it again - but will have lost all my bookmarks & is there a way to get it all back?

    Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) is an old version of Linux from 2009. You're gonna need to upgrade to a newer operating system to use a more recent version of Firefox.
    My advice is to consult with the Ubuntu support forums to find out if your PC can support the latest version of Ubuntu, or if you should switch to a different "flavor" of Linux.

  • Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?

    Is there a way to get phone numbers back on my iphone / or excel sheet?
    What I've done:
    I've upgraded my iphone from 2.0 to 2.1. To be able to do this I've upgraded to the latest iTunes and switched my USB port several times until it was finaly installed. Then, despite iTunes taking 3 hours time for making backups, I found my phone to be completely empty when it was finished. So, I tried to restored the phone. This gave an error 1602 and bricked my phone. Tried it all over again two times more with same results.
    The bottom line is that I have an empty phone and I really would like to have my phone numbers back. There's some 1.02 GB of backup information in the apple directory, so I guess they must be something there. But how do I know which file I need and how to decode it?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

  • Is there any way to get Numbers 2 back?

    I really don't want to be a hater to new things- updates can be great.
    But Numbers 3.2 is really frustrating and difficult to use. Is there a way to get numbers 2 back? Or change any of the following:
    When entering formulas, I can't find a bar to do so, I have to do it directly in the cell. This is really difficult when the formula is long and complicated.
    Move the scroll bar with the sheets from the top of the page back to the left hand side. I can't see everything at once. Again, really hard and annoying when you have a lot of them in one workbook.
    Move all the menu stuff back to the top (i.e. font and whatnot) This is just a personal preference, no good reason, other than the fact that this is what I've seen my entire life.

    Is there a way to get numbers 2 back?
    You still have it, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  You can use both.
    When entering formulas, I can't find a bar to do so, I have to do it directly in the cell. This is really difficult when the formula is long and complicated. .
    You can drag the edge of the Formula Editor and make it as big as you want:
    Move the scroll bar with the sheets from the top of the page back to the left hand side. I can't see everything at once.
    You can scroll quickly between sheets by moving the cursor up to the band with the sheet "tabs" and dragging left and right. If you have lots of sheets and need to see a list, you can try out the Automator Service described here.
    Move all the menu stuff back to the top (i.e. font and whatnot) T
    If you like using the menu, the choices are still up there:
    Switching to Numbers 3 involves learning new things.  It has (in my opinion) many improvements. However, if you need to do a lot of precision printing to share with others, you will be happier with the old Numbers, though it's important to keep in mind that it is orphanware and eventually you will have to switch to Numbers 3 or something else.

  • Is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    is there any way to get your pictures back after updating to maverick?

    Is Aperture not launching at all? Then update Aperture like Ernie recommended. You'll need version 3.5.1, or 3.4.5 with Mavericks. If you have any Aperture 3 version, you should be able to update for free.
    After updating Aperture, make sure you have a backup copy of your Aperture library, before opening it in the new version.  Click the Aperture library, to open Aperture on your library.
    Or, is the problem, that Aperture opened on an empty library? Then check the file system on the drive with your Aperture library. It may have the wrong formatting. Then move your Aperture library to a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). Click the

  • Had to crash my computer. Lost my recovery key. Have my iphone paired with previous install. is there any way to get the data back?

    In order to upgrade my computer from Windows xp to Windows 7, I lost access to firefox without thinking to generate a recovery key. Is there any way to get my data back?

    If the only thing you have paired to the account is an iPhone the answer is that unfortunately no. The iPhone client (Firefox Home) is just a "consumer" of the Sync data and can't do much.
    My best advice is to keep the iPhone synced to have access to bookmarks and manually transfer them to your new profile.
    Sorry to be the carrier of the bad news.

  • Just bought refurbished mac, and there's no GarageBand or iMovie and such. I got no disks with the laptop!! Is there any way to get these programs back?

    is there any way to get the programs back??!!??
    if not, are there any good free programs to replace these ones?

    I called Apple Customer Support (1- (800) 767-2775) to check on how much they charge for the gray restore disks that originally came with the MacBook and was quoted $16 dollars per disk plus S & H. Which would be $32 for the two disks. Just give them the serial number of your MacBook and they'll know which ones you need. With the original disks you also get the iLife that was current when your MacBook was bought included on the #2 disk.
    If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store if you're upgraded to 10.6.8. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each
    Or you can get an iLife DVD on eBay.  http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trkparms=72%253A1234%257C66%253A2%257C65%253A12% 257C39%253A1&_sacat=0&_sc=1&_nkw=apple%20ilife%2011&_sop=12

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6 and now my calendar, contacts, notes, etc. are gone.  Is there any way to get that information back?  I thought those things were automatically backed up in the first step of the update process.

    The only restore I can find is from 2010.

    You can use another iPhone (or iPad) to restore it too, or you can login to www.icloud.com (assumng you weer using iCloud) and export your contacts from there.
