TS4147 Is there anyway possible to get contacts back that were not backed up on the iCloud?

When I updated my phone I had to erase my phone completely. It did not bring back all my contacts, therefore I'm guessing I didn't have the backed up on iCloud. It might be stretch but is there anyway I can get my old contacts from before the restore back?

Apple States that you should be able to restore from the most recent 3 back ups. if your contacts aren't in these, there isn't much you can do.

  • The screen and lock button on my iPhone both broke, is there anyway I can get my iMessages that were previously sent to my iPhone onto my Macbook?

    I have felt my phone ring in my pocket for two days but can't see the messages! I finally got the messages app set up on my mac and I can get imessages now, I was just wondering if there was anyway that I could get the texts that I've been misisng the last couple of days.

    No. Not without getting the display replaced first. Many Apple Stores in the US and UK can replace the display on the iPhone 5 or 5c (but not the 5s currently) for $149. Make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?

    I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?
    The photos and videos were obviously taken before I plugged it in and I didn't get a chance to back it up. It just synced and erased everything once I plugged it in. The photos and videos were very important to me and it would mean everything to me to get them back. Please help.

    There is more to the story than you're letting on. Possibly prompts from iTunes on your compute when you plugged in the phone that you didn't read before selecting an option...
    The bottom line is, if they are not on your computer as a result of the sync, and you didn't back them up previously, then they are gone.

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

    Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I lost my phone. Is there anyway I can get my most recent photos, notes, etc. onto my iCloud before someone deletes my files?

    If you had not already setup iCloud on the device before you lost it, then no - there is no way. If you had already setup iCloud, your data would automatically be in iCloud.

    Were these apps purchased from the Mac App Store? If so, open the Mac App Store (should be in the Doc).
    Then go to the Purchases tab and install from there. You may need to click the Buy button, but once you do, it should remember that you have already paid.
    If these apps were installed from a retail copy of iLife, you can reinstall from the DVD.

    iPhoto is still on your mac, it is in the application folder.
    what version did you have before you upgraded to 10.10.3
    as you list your OS as 10.7.4.
    you really needed to upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 before going to 10.10.3.
    Still you could try this suggestion from Terence Devlin.

  • Is there any way to get contacts back after them being deleted form iCloud?

    My dad recently asked me to update his phone, so I plugged it into my computer to do so. For some reason just doing that resulted in his settings to change to have iCloud contact sync on. This resulted in our contacts syncing so his would show up on my phone and mine on his. He went on to delete all of my contacts from his phone, not realizing they were also being deleted on iCloud (therefore from my phone as well). I don't even understand why my contacts were not saved on my phone in the first place but all transfered to iCloud, but now they are gone from there as well. I tried restoring my phone from a backup on my computer a few weeks ago, however, this just restored everything else except for the contacts. So what I'm asking if there is any way to get contacts back that were ONLY on iCloud (because apparently apple doesn't realize saving something to a single place on the cloud isn't a good backup) but now are deleted. Does iCloud save this sort of information even after it is deleted?

    The issue isn't that I need to restore the contacts from iCloud to my phone, it's that the contacts on my iCloud themselves have been deleted.
    The contacts might be deleted from icloud.com, but if they were on your phone when you created your last backup, they can be restored from your backup by following the user tip.  The backup is separate from the data you see on icloud.com.

  • I deleted some of my photos from my photo library on my iPhone 5 is there anyway I can get them back?

    I deleted some of my photos on my iphone 5 and im really upset abou it! Is there anway I can get them back?

    The only photos that you can delete directly from the phone are ones in the Camera Roll. If you deleted other photos, that had to have been done via the sync process, and you can just sync them back.
    If it is photos in the Camera Roll, then if you have a backup of the phone while the photos are on there, you can restore to that backup, but understand that takes your phone back to that date and time and anything done since that date/time will be deleted.

    1, You can either backup with iTunes to you computer or iCloud. Either way you have to start it. If you didn't start one of them, you don't have a backup then.
    2, Yes, without a backup there is nothing you can do.
    3, There is no Trash on an iPhone. If you delete it, it is gone.
