Transferring contacts from iphone 4 to 4s?!?!?

Hello,
My iphone 4 was stolen and my contacts were not backed up on icloud. I have now got an iphone 4s, is there any way of getting back my contacts? They may have been backed up on iTunes......
Please help!!

This explains what iTunes backs up. Read the Contacts section carefully (especially the asterisk note):

Bottom line: Maybe your contacts are preserved somewhere on your computer depending on what account housed your contacts on your stolen iPhone. I wouldn't count on finding too many of them in an iTunes backup.

HI,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides tips that will resolve most issues related to syncing contacts and calendars on a PC.
Make sure you have at least one contact in the contact manager on the PC, so there are contacts to merge.
You can sync and even merge contacts on from multiple computers as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

Transfering contacts from iPhone 2g to iPhone 4 went wrong!

Hello all,
I have the following issue - I have iPhone 2g and want to transfer all contacts and msgs to the new iPhone 4.
I followed this manual http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
First I made back up on the PC with info from iPhone 2, then connected the new phone and put the back up in it.
However, all contacts have transfered but settings from my previous phone! Like keyboard languages, time zones and etc. The problem is that the phone looks weird now!
There are menu's transfered from the back up to the new iphone, some of the ringtones stay there but they are unactive (when you go to sets>sounds>ringtones you see them, you can press them, but no sound comes) and most important - icons don't lool like the original iPhone 4!
So my questions - how to return to clean installation of OS 4.3 (or different) and is this the only way to get back the phone to the state I've bought it? I just want a clean new installation, no matter if i'll lose the information!
The iPhone 4 is OS 4.3, sim free.

if you sync with itunes or gmail or mobileme you can just remove the wrong synced contacts and get the right ones from those services
if you don't you really should

Transfering contacts from Iphone 2 to Iphone 5s

I have recently upgraded my phone from IPhone 2 (IOS 4.2.1) to IPhone 5s. I followed all the procedures to restroe contacts and notes with Itunes:
- create a back up with the old Iphone
- disconnect phone and connect new one
- restore back up
but the restore does not work. Can anyone help? thank you

With every sync your contacts on your pc and iphone should be updated. So you cab use your windows contact app to sync it to the ipod touch. Disable automatic sync in itunes, activate the option to delete all contact info on the ipod once in the info pane with your ipod connected and sync. All your contacts will be transfered to your ipod.

Transferring contacts from iphone 4s to PC and then to new iphone5

I am getting a new iphone 5 and want to transfer my contacts from my work phone iphone 4S to my PC . when I get new iphone 5 I will then transfer contacts from PC to iphone 5.
Can you advise best way for me to do this?

Hello grandview97
The best method would be to back up your iPhone 4s with either iTunes or iCloud. Once that is complete, then you can plug in your new iPhone and restore that back up from either iTunes or through iCloud. The steps are laid out in the article below.

Transfering Contacts FROM iphone

Hello everyone. My contacts on Yahoo are severely outdated.
Currently, I have contacts sync-ing set to 'off'.
I would like to transfer my contacts from my iPhone to Yahoo.
But I am afraid that my iPhone contacts will be lost.
I have read that when there is information on the iPhone and Yahoo address book, that iTunes simply merges everything. In that case, shall I delete everything but ONE entry in Yahoo and then perform a sync?
What happens if I delete EVERYTHING on Yahoo and perform a sync?
Thanks!

I suggest syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer first so that you have a fall back.
With XP, this can be with the address book used by Outlook Express. If you haven't used this address book and it is empty, enter on contact in the address book before syncing. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info which you want to select.
When syncing with your Yahoo online address book which includes contact info, contact info between the two will be merged. If you want to replace all online contact info, delete all online contact info first except for one contact. If something goes wrong or doesn't turn out like you wanted, you have a backup of sorts on your computer with the address book used by OE. You can replace all iPhone contact info with the OE contact info via the iTunes sync process, but you can't do the reverse.

Using iTunes, back up your iPhone 3G by rightclicking the name of your iPhone that appears in the "devices" tab on iTunes when you have plugges it into the computer.

Deleting Many Duplicate Contacts from iPhone 5

Is there an easier way to delete many (hundreds) of duplicate contact from my iPhone 5? My wireless carrier accidentally caused this situation when transfering contacts from one phone to another. I would like to avoid having to delete each duplicate one by one. Deleting all contacts and starting over sounds too traumatic.
Thank you.

If you have a recent back up that was made before the issue started then simply restore from that back up and it should resolve the issue.
Also if you are using iCloud on the iPhone this article may help you out: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147

How can i copy my contacts from iphone 5 to my ipad air2

I'M having troubles transfering my contacts from my iphone to my ipad so that facetime and i messages work perfectly
any advices of how to transfer my contacts from iphone 5 to ipad air 2?

An alternate way to transfer contacts (if the contacts you need are already on an existing device) is to use one of many apps (both free and paid are available) from the App Store. Note that you'll need to setup the same email account, accessible by/on both devices.
Search the App Store for an app called My Contacts Backup (free, and available in the US App Store, I don't know about other countries)...it's the one that I personally use for backing up my contacts both online and offline as well as archiving them on my Mac/PC). Install the app on both devices. Run the app on the iPad 2 and have it backup your contacts. It will compile them into a vCard format and allow you to email the file to yourself. On the iPhone 5s, access the email that you sent the vCard file to, find the message and tap on the vCard attachment. Follow the directions and your contacts will now be transferred to the iPhone.
You can simply reverse the procedure to copy in the other direction.
An advantage of this method is that you will have a hardcopy vCard file in your email that you can then download & archive/store anywhere, not just in some unknown location somewhere in the cloud. When you want to restore your contacts anytime in the future, email the file as an attachment to yourself, access that email from your iDevice, click on the attachment and follow the directions to import the contacts.
