Suddenly all my contacts were replaced by my brother's. How do I get mine back?

restore with a backup made of the device
or sync it with itunes then you should be able to get all contacts from the source you sync contacts with
and apps you can always get back by clicking purchaes in app store on the device itself

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s. how do I get them back?

I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back???? I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they? Why did they go? How can I get them back?

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

Icloud sync has deleted my contacts and replaced them with my husbands, can i get mine back??

I have just updated my iphone, icloud has been installed and replace all of my contacts with my husbands, can i get them back??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
Try turning them on again.

I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS after syncing with icloud! How do i get them back!?

I went on icloud and synced my contacts and now all of them are GONE. i have no idea how to get them back,

They may be in your backup. Try restoring from backup.

I plugged in my iphone then i took my iphone out of the computer then all my notes were gone exept for one how can i get them back?

they are not in my mail how can i get them back?

have you tried a hard reset, if not try this
it doesn't matter whether the phone is on or not to start with
Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
You have completed a hard reset successfully.

HT204150 My daughter accidentally connected her iPod under my iTunes profile and it uploaded to iCloud my contact list was rewritten with hers how do I get mine back?

Can someone tell me if iCloud keeps a backup copy of contacts and how I can retrieve ?

I don't think a backup includes the contacts, since they should already be stored in the contacts database on icloud's servers. For example, if you wipe a device clean, then connect it to icloud and turn on contacts, the ones on icloud will come back. No restore is needed. In your case, I fear the contacts are gone.
Be sure to get your daughter a new icloud ID, as you don't want her to share all the data you have on your device(s).

My battery died and when it was charged all my contacts were erased, what happened and how do I retrieve them?

Where were you storing your contacts? In the cloud? In outlook? Synch them back from wherever they were being stored.

I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

This might be because that your game update or other software automatic update killed your contacts. You should make a frequency and regular backup for your iPhone so that all the data could be renewed to your backup data. Whenever you lost iPhone data, you have a choice to restore from iTunes. That is easy and free.
However, this is not the end of the world if you don't have any backup of your iPhone contacts, you can recover contacts with iPhone data recovery software, but that need you to pay for it. So making a backup is a good habit. Do you know how to use iPhone data recovery software to recover iPhone contacts without backup? If not, you can search in YouTube to get step-by-step guide to recover iPhone contacts from iPhone without backup. This is such an example: How to Recover iPhone Contacts - Step-by-step Guide.

TS3899 I use 3 email accounts. All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox. How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

I use 3 email accounts. All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox. How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

You should be able to see them either way, just as you should have been before you upgraded.
If you are viewing the consolidated Inbox, you should see something like this near the top of the screen:
< Mailboxes All Inboxes      Edit
Click on the blue "< Mailboxes" to get to the list of separate Inboxes (plus maybe VIP and Flagged virtual mailboxes). Click on one of them to view that Inbox.
If that does not match what you see on your phone, let us know what you do see.

Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone. You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

Suddenly all my contacts were replaced by my brothers. How do I get mine back?
