TS4605 Contacts, on another device linked to my iCloud account, were deleted and in turn deleted the contacts on my phone also. How can I recover these contacts?

I bought a new iPhone5c and downloaded my information to it from my iCloud account. After activating this phone, I gave my daughter my old iPhone4. I did not know that phone was still linked to my iCloud account so when she deleted the contacts on the iPhone4 and replaced them with her own, it did the same to my current iPhone5c. I need to know if/how I can get those contacts back.

If they were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account?

    Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account? I know how to view the devices linked to my iTunes account, but I am not sure if this is possible to see with an iCloud account.

    You can't, except by seeing if they are using services associated with the account.  You could, for example, launch Find My iPhone on iCloud.com to see what devices appear (which obviously wouldn't show devices not using Find My iPhone).  Similarly, you could go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what devices appear on the Backups list (which won't show devices not using iCloud backup).

    anybody have a suggestion? I need to find out what my key code is to connect another pc to my airport, I am running snow leopard. I need the hexidecimal code, 12 characters. How can I find it?

    You can get the Equivalent Network Password from the menu options of the AirPort Utility as follows:
    Start the AirPort Utility; select the AirPort, and then, select Manual Setup.
    From the Utility's menu bar, select Base Station, and then, Equivalent Network Password to reveal the hexidecimal key code.

  • How can I recover texts & contacts on iPhone 5c after syncing it with an old iPod touch backup?

    I used to have an old LG flip-phone and an iPod Touch. I lost the iPod Touch about six months ago. This week I got my iPhone. I had to go to the Verizon store to have them take all the contacts off the LG phone and put them onto my iPod.
    I had painstakingly pared down my iTunes music library to choice selection of checked items that were small enough to fit on the iPod touch. I didn't want to go through that process again, so I hooked my iPhone up to my computer for the first time, opened iTunes, and synced with the iPod touch backup on my computer. It would have been smart to have backed up the iPhone first, but I didn't. Since I couldn't text with the iPod Touch, it didn't occur to me that the existing texts on my iPhone would be overwritten.
    Now all the media files and apps from my old iPod Touch are on my new iPhone 5. The new iPhone apps I downloaded yesterday are on there, too. But the contacts and texts have vanished.
    To review: no iTunes backup of iPhone data. No iCloud backup, either-- I've never used iCloud before.
    I downloaded Wondershare's iPhone Data Recovery program and used it to scan data on the device. The scan shows 0 contacts and only the 2 text messages that I've received this evening. Curiously, it does have my entire call history from the last week.
    So is there any way to recover the texts from this last week?
    This seems pretty hopeless but I thought I'd try. Thank for your help.

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

  • I tried to update my 3G but it also made me restore the phone.  How can I get my contacts back?

    Or am I stuck with old contacts/apps from four months ago?  Even my texts are gone.  Any help is appreciated!

    if you werent using an over-the-air solution, such as MobileMe, Gmail, or Yahoo, etc. Which would have sync'd your contacts, then your solution would be to restore from backup...
    to do so:
    plug your phone into the computer, and right click on the phone as it shows under Devices, and click on "Restore from Backup..."
    this will give you the option to restore from the last backup, or a previously stored backup.
    Good Luck!
    PS. Sync often to get multiple recent backups, in case of any hardware/software failures, as has occured with your device.

  • How can I recover ONLY contacts from a backup in iTunes?

    I had to change my company email in my iPhone 4 mail box, in this change I also brought the contacts from the new exchange group, which I though would only bring the email contacts. It happens that it substituted my phone contacts and now I don't have my friends phone number in the contacts anymore. I have a backup in iTunes ( from 2 months ago) and I would like to bring back ONLY my contacts. As long as I know if I bring back a backup it will overwrite everything, messages, pictures... and I don't want that. Is there a way of solving this not using third party software? I found some third party software that could to do what I need, but in order to recover the contacts I need the paid version. I wonder if apple has a solution for this issue. Thanks for any tip!

    a phone backup cannot be used on an ipad.
    if all you want is your contacts, sign in to icloud from the same apple ID you wre using on the phone.

  • How can i recover my contacts?

    Hi everyone, first post!!
    I have a macbook on the latest OS (purchased today) and an iphone 4 on IOS 6
    I dont have iCloud so I backed up my contacts via itunes, it said sync contacts to computer, which I pressed.
    Now all of my contacts have deleted! And I had about 100 so not going to lie, its a bit of a bugger! Any way of getting them back? i only wanted to connect them to my imessage so i could send things from it!
    Any advice would be brilliant, thank you in advance!

    You manually entered every contact one by one?
    No contacts on your computer?
    You are not syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer or over the air on your iPhone with a a free Apple iCloud account or with one of the other free email accounts that support doing the same?

  • How can I recover my contacts, lost my phone

    Lost my phone and can't figure out how to get my contacts

    If you had them synced via iCloud you can use any internet browser and log into https://www.icloud.com and see them there.
    If they are there, you can sync them to a computer or to a new iOS device by setting up iCloud on that computer or device: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    If you have backup to iTunes or iCloud you can restore data to a new iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109

  • How can I recover my contacts and photos?

    Last night I synced my boyfriends iphone4 to my computer. He had no media so basically he just wanted some music on his phone. Everything went smoothly, music, tones & apps all synced successfully. When I gave him his phone he requested that I update his phone to the newest software (ios6) but when I did that an error occurred and the phone went into "standby" mode and i couldnt even turn it on. I disconnected the phone because i had no idea what i did but then reconnected it because i thought it would come back on.. To make a long story short, when the phone turned back on i got a message saying that I had to restore the phone due to the error. Well, I guess i misunderstood what "restore" meant and it was like i had to start from scratch (apple id & password etc) so basically my question is, why when the phone was done restoring did I lose all his personal info? Contacts, photos, calendar dates etc ALL GONE!! And how can I get them back? Also, he now says that he cant access any of his apps like he used to even though theyre all there. It says his password is incorrect but it's exactly the same as before. what's going on? im lost!!! Can someone please please please help me! Im in big trouble!

  • HT1766 Phone keeps dropping contacts--how can I recover these??

    There is no rhyme or reason as to which contacts it drops nor can I locate these in the phone anywhere. It is irritating when I do not have a phone number that I think I should have stored in the phone. Anyone else have or had problems with this and if so, how did you fix it? How do I even go back to original contact list and copy that to my iphone?? Using iPhone 5 with current update and have all Apple products connected via the cloud. Thank you.

    This problem solved by referring to "My contacts have gone missing on my iPhone 5" and using the suggested solution there--it worked very well and contacts are back.

  • HT2486 how do I know what account a contact is in (Icloud, on my mac, etc) if it is already in my address book. also how can I change an existing contact to my iCloud account?

    I have upgraded to Lion so that I can use iCloud.
    when I select a contact in the address book, I can't tell what account it is in,
    and I can't change the contact to iCloud if it's not already in that account, so the
    contact comes up on my other devices.
    This seems like a very basic function,yet if I want a contact to be on iCloud, it
    seems I have to create a new contact with iCloud selected in the preferences.
    is there another way?

    Happy to help.
    Some good news:
    Address Book will become Contacts in Mountain Lion and the addition of the Group column to the display will make working with differnt accounts a bit more obvioius and easier.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.
