Restored to new phone, can i get my contacts back?

My iPhone 3G was acting up so i took it to the apple store, there they told me i had software problems and needed to completly restore my phone and set it as a brand new one. All my music, videos, and pictures were fine but now i have no contacts. Is there a way that they were saved in my computer or am i going to have to collect them all over again?

Contacts are included in your iphone backup, but in your case it would not be a smart idea to restore your phone from backup after the geniuses restored it as a new device.
Are you not syncing your contacts with a supported application on your computer? If so, just sync them back to your phone. If not, you should be, for reasons just like this.

I just broke my iPhone 5 and can't see the screen. I haven't backed up my iPhone to iCloud yet. Is there a way I can remotely back it up so I can restore my new phone (once I get it) faster?

If you plug your phone into your computer you can sync and backup so that when you get the new phone you can restore from a backup instead of setting it up as a new iphone

A warranty or out of warranty replacement through Apple will be for the same model, same capacity, same colour.

New phone, can't get gmail to work

I'm having problems trying to put my gmail acct on my droid 2. I create a new acct with new password and then I get an error msg. The funny thing is I'll go to google accts and do exactly what they prompt me to do and I still can't enter it on the droid. Weirder still is after I log out online I can't re-access the new gmail account. Anyone else having this problem? Oh and of course, there is no one at google to talk to......

No it is not a stupid question. I tried every possible combination. I even checked the box on googles site about forgot user name. Google sent my user name to my hotmail address. then I went in and reset the password with my user name. So then I tried to set it up on my droid and kept getting an error msg. Went back to google online to login and got an error msg there. Great, by now I'm thoroughly frustrated so I thought I would create a new gmail acct to get it to work on the phone. Same thing happened. Gmail gave me an error msg even though I just created a new acct. So I can't log on my pc or phone and there is no one to contact a google to find out what is wrong.

If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup. This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Can I get my contacts back if they are deleted from ICloud?

Can I get my contacts back if they are deleted from ICloud?

If your contacts is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the contacts. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the contacts went missing, you will not have the contacts on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the contacts.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
Gmail emails are very commmon sources for contacts and you may have been adding them to the gmail contacts without even knowing it.

How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic. iTunes wiped out all my contacts from my iPod classic and now I no longer even show a place for contacts on my computer when I plug in my iPod.

You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.

Restore from the backup!
You password: You have set it! It might be your passcode or you mioght have set it accidentally, so test all of the passwords you normally use. If you cannot get the password you backup is lost, but you can still sync your iTunes content.
