Sync contacts from back up of a restored iPhone5

How to sync contacts from back up of a restored iPhone5?

Contacts are not really a part of a backup.
If the device has been used as designed, contacts are synced to a supported app on the computer or a cloud service. Simply sync them back.
If you have not been using the device as designed, restore from backup and pray that they restore.

  • Syncing Contacts from Phone to computer without backing it up.

    I need to restore my iphone without restoring it from a backup. I think my back up has corrupted files as I am sure my phone does. I do not want to lose my contacts. I do not care about losing the apps and such, just the contacts. How do I sync my contacts that are on my phone to my computer. All I see is the ability to sync contacts from my computer (Address Book) to my phone, Not vice-versa. Thanks for any help.

    I thought that I did. In INFO>Contacts in my itunes it asked me to sync address book contacts. These contacts I do not care to have on my phone. But my phone contacts are not in my address book. How can I just sync my phone contacts to my computer. So when I restore it I can just sync those right back to my phone. I am not seeing an option for this.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

    Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
    where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

    Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
    Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
    Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
    the same goes with ical also.
    Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
    Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

    I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
    Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
    So far, I have tried:
    1. Resetting the sync history.
    2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
    3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
    4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
    5. Restoring my iPhone.
    None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
    This is what my console looks like:

    Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:

  • Syncing contacts FROM IPhone MANUAL.  PC

    So this is basically a continuation of bsohl's thread Syncing Contacts FROM iPhone?.
    For those of you that are in a similar situation to this:
    1. You're on a PC.
    2. Your primary storage space for contacts is your phone.
    3. Your email client isn't compatable with ITunes.
    4. You want to back up your contacts.
    Follow these few steps to make your backup happen:
    1. Sign up for a new yahoo email address.
    2. In the info tab in ITunes select Sync Contacts with Yahoo Address Book.
    3. At the prompt enter in your new yahoo email address and password.
    4. Hit 'apply'. At this point you may have to hit sync or it might just do it automatically. I can't remember.
    Here comes the magic
    5. You will see the following prompt: http://a425.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/89/l_dfc21c0b2fd5015780fbaad7fddb3 798.gif
    6. Select 'merge'.
    7. Wait a few seconds.
    8. Check your contacts in your yahoo email account and they should all be there.
    9. Sweet!
    10. Good luck.

    You can also sync your contacts to Microsoft Address Book. Go to the info pane with your phone connected to change the settings.
    Your iphone backup also contains your contact info. So before you sync, back up your phone manually, here's how to:
    Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Do the same to transfer your purchases by choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • When I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    when I delete all my contact from iCloud, How I can restore them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

  • Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?
    rbarge

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

    Thanks,

    Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
