Restoring contacts after software update

After software update i accidently clicked something like "treat as new iphone" instead of "use existing settings". Now I can synch programs and music but my contacts are gone. Is there a possibility to restore them?

Unless you have been syncing your contacts with an app on your computer (Outlook, Mail) or cloud (MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, Exchange) as you should have, the contacts are permanently gone.

  • Missing contacts after software update

    Contacts in iphone 4S disappeared over night after software update.  It is only showing contacts from my social sites such as facebook.

    Did you back up to the cloud, itunes, or email (like hotmail) before you updated?  If so, they are easily recoverable.  If not, then bye bye.

    Why i cannot restore back after update software?

    What does "restore back" mean?
    If it means go backwards to some earlier version of iOS, then Apple has never allowed that.
    If it means reload the contents of your iPhone after doing a software update, you should be able to do that.

  • Lost Contacts After Software Update

    i have nokia 6300 and i have recently updated the software. Unfortunately i could make a back up the data. i have lost now all my contacts in the phone memory. i need them desparately. Is there any possibility via which i can recover my contacts.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid not. If you didn't do a backup before updating the phone's firmware then they're gone.

    You will have to restore as a new phone

  • Restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes

    restoring purchased apps after software update through itunes

    And....that's your question? How to restore the apps? Sync your iPad with iTunes and the apps should be restored to your device. Or go to the purchased tab of the App Store and tap on Not on this iPad and download them again.
    Did you restore from a backup after you updated? Can you provide any information at all?

    Hey iftekhar,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you.

  • New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

    Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Installed Applications in E63 after Software Updat...

    Will the installed Applications in my Nokia E63 work after Software Update? Is the any issue found by somebody?

    Hi steverabs
    Unfortunately downgrading back to v12.0.013 is not an option with NSU.
    GPS data is found in "Tools"
    If you have installed any applications yourself, these will unfortunately have disappeared unless they were on memory card and phone settings were saved to memory card and then restored to phone after upgrade.

  • LOST MY CONTACT DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE

    I LOST MY CONTACTS DURING SOFTWARE UPDATE A WEEK AGO , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM MY LAST BACK UP HELD ON MAY 16, BUT FAILED , AM EVEN SURE I'V SELECTED ALL DATA BACKUP FOR ANY OF MY PREVIOUS BACKUP , TRIED TO RESTORE FROM ANY BUT FAILED , TRIED THE GMAIL CONTACTS ALSO FAILED , WONDERING WHERE MY CONTACTS I'VE SAVED FOR MORE THEN 10 YEARS ARE GONE ....AM TOTTALY DISSAPOINTED SINCE AM A BLACKBERRY USER SINCE 5 YEARS ,  ALWAYS SUPPORTED  BLACKBERRY AGAINST IPHONE USERS , ALL MY FREINDS ARE NO MORE USING BLACKBERRY AND SWITCHED TO IPHONE OR SAMSUNG , AM HAVING AN EMPTY BBM LIST NOW , BUT  STILL SUPPORTING AND EVEN BOUGHT THE Z10 FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE , I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED DURING THE SOFTWARE UPDATE , BUT CANT UNDERSTAND THE USELESS BACK UP I'VE ALWAYS DOING ! AND THE WORSE IS THAT LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE TURNED THE Z10 TO A WORSE MOBILE.

    Hum, it is worrying...
    So... your contacts seem to be on:
    Gmail,
    your previous backups.
    -Solutions:
    if all your contacts are on Gmail: copy them manually on your device,
    they are a priori all in your backups: wait that Link won't be in Beta anymore, and then restore.
    P.S.:
    You make backups and don't register your contacts on SIM, is it possible ? Personally, I rarely register contacts on SIM. If there is a malware, it can be charged from the SIM to the Phone, this is why.
