Synch deleted all my contacts and calendar

I formatted my laptop due to virus, than I downloaded i-tunes.
later i connected my I-phone to the laptop and did the synch process in order to copy my contacts from my i-phone to outlook.
Unfortunately I noticed that after finishing the synch. no contacts appear in outlook, so I checked my i-phone and was shocked to see that all my contacts and calendars were deleted.
Please help urgently.
Thanks\Alain

Easy... Just restore your contacts to Outlook from any of the backups you've made before formatting your computer, then sync them back to the phone.

You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

Restore the iPhone from your backup.
See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

How do I delete all my contacts and folders to start off new again as they just keep on coming back all the time?

Is there an email address for better communication as this way I find extremely difficult?

check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.

My non-so-techno missus has had my old iphone4s, deleted all my contacts, and put hers in, then backed up to iCloud (mine) so now I have her contacts on my 5s......and ideas?

iCloud isn't a backup where Contacts etc. are concerned, it's a syncing service. Any changes you make on any device connected to it are transmitted to iCloud and then to other devices. If your son signed into your iCloud account and deleted contacts then that's the same as if you had deleted contacts on your own device. I'm afraid that as far as iCloud is concerned, deleted is deleted. If you don't have an independent backup such as Time Machine, or a backup of your iOS device on iCloud or iTunes, then you can't retrieve your data. If you had made a backup of your iOS device you can restore that - it will restore the entire backup so any changes made subsequent to the backup will be lost.

I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one. Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted. Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account. She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning. Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

TS4009 since I updated my windows prog. to 8, all my contacts and Calendar have disappeared from outlook...?

I downloaded a new version of Windows Outlook 8 - I can no longer access ICloud for my Contacts, nor the Calendar from Outlook.

solved problem, ran MS diagnostics on outlook which found and fixed one problem. Uninstalled iCloud and all associated files (calendar, contacts,) in Outlook (could not uninstall before problem was fixed - got an outlook error message). Reinstalled iCloud and synched contacts and calendars. I'm back to where I was yesterday.

It should all be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.
Sync it back.

ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
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.

If i have to sync my iphone to my computers library is it going to delete all my contacts and email accounts and all the information i have on it?

I mean its rediculous that it will delete my apps etc but is it TRULY going to delete my contacts and email accounts? Do i have to start from scratch?

iPhones are designed to sync to only one computer or iTunes library. Attempts to sync them to a new computer or library will infact wipe the device and replace the contents with contents from the new library.
If contacts and calendars are synced with a cloud service like mobileme, gmail, or an exchange server, then they will not be affected.
If however they are synced with a supported application on the computer or the user rely's on the device solely for contacts, they will be wiped.

How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com. They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream. If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll.

I want to delete all my contacts and resync..how do i do that?

i want to delete all of my contacts and resync to my yahoo ..how do i do that?

Hi,
I would imagine the best way would be to
connect your Ipad to your mac or pc
in the info page check the box next to "sync address book contacts"
tick "Yahoo address book contacts"
scroll to the bottom and under "advanced" check the box for contacts
sync
I strongly suggest a backup before you do all of this.
Let me know.

Iphone deleted all my contacts and when i plugged it in automatic backup ran and wiped all contacts

Hi All,
Yesterday I noticed that all my contacts were deleted from my iphone 3. I hadn't plugged it in to a computer, it had been on wi-fi earlier but I hadn't accessed itunes or anything. Everything else (text messages, music, apps) was fine. When I arrived home and plugged it into my computer to access the back-up, automatic back-up ran and backed-up my contact-less iphone. I tried restoring from back-up - no dice.
How can I access older back-ups with my contacts and restore them to my phone? Why were my contacts erased and how can I stop it from happening again?
Thanks for your help!

Several of my friends also had this problem recently. Wondering if you use LINE or FB often on your phone?
