Upgraded my i phone to os8 thru i tunes and lost my contacts how can I find them

I upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS8 and lost my contacts.  How can I find them?

There are two likely answers:
1.  Your iPhone has too much storage being used.  Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage left (roughly 15% of your total storage minimum).
2.  If (1) is not the issue, then tell us what account used to house your contacts (e.g., iCloud).  You would need to make sure that same account is set up correctly on your iPhone right now.

  • I've update my phone and lost music.  How can I get them back on my phone

    I updated my phone and lost my apps and music.  Now even when I sync they aren't going back on.  How do I get them back onto my phone?

    go to ITUNES on your phone, select MORE, PURCHASED, MUSIC
    Then you should be able to download them again

  • HT4623 When I updated the phone I lost my contacts, how can I get them back?

    We updated my husbands phone and all his contacts got erased. Can anyone tell me how to get them back!

    The iphone is designed to be sycned to your computer regularly.
    The contact will be in whatever program he has chosen to sync.  Sync them back to the iphone form there.

  • I had n error when updating my phone had to restore it and lost my picture, how can i recover them?

    i was trying to backup my pictures on Itunes and was in the process when i recieved an error message telling me i had to restore my phone when I was done i was missing an album

    It is the users responsibility to copy the pictures off the device regularly like they would with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to do this and were forced to restore the device as new, the pictures are gone.

  • HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

    assuming you didn't/don't use photostream I need a couple things cleared up first... did you back up your phone before updating to iOS 6 and if you did, was it on a PC or Mac?

  • I purchased and downloaded a full album on itunes today, when i got home i updated my phone and lost it all, how can i get this music back without paying for it again

    Today while driving home from vacation i purchased and downloaded the new Nichleback CD, when i got home, i plugged my phone into my computer to update everything and it pulled up a message saying something like "this computer has recognized an iPhone that is in memory update, you will need to restore the phone" or something similar to that, it had a picture of the power cord plugging into iTunes on the screen and i couldn't get rid of it, so i had to plug it in and restore everything, when it was done i noticed that not only did i loose the new CD that i had just purchased today but i lost all of the music that i've purchased since the last update. How can i restore this music without purchasing it all again?

    Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
    In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I've lost all my NOTES.  They were found on iCloud but now are gone from there.  How can I find them?

    I keep many lists and things in the NOTES I share with my iPad and iPhone however, since I upgraded to Yosemite, I continue to "lose" them.  I contacted someone who spent quite a bit of time to relocate them.  Supposedly they were stored in iCloud and they were.  Then a few days later they disappeared.  They were found again but also disappeared soon after that.  It's frustrating because I had about 14 different lists backed up (I thought) but I'm down to 1.  The interesting thing is that when I first turn on NOTES on a device, all NOTES show up then immediately disappear again.  I would like to 1. find them again and 2. understand what I need to do to keep them there!

    Before you try any of the steps below please make a backup copy of your file(s) as explained in steps #1 - #5 below. Be sure you always make a backup copy of any system files before you make any changes.
    I've found a few posts on Apple support community which you  should try to follow and see if they help resolve your issue:
    Notes deleted after Yosemite installation ?
    Re: Upon upgrading to Mountain Lion, only "notes" that were on iCloud got transferred into the new "Notes" app
    Unfortunately none of the solutions worked for me, If none of these work for you don't worry I've got something else for you to try!
    DISCLAIMER: I do NOT use iCloud, Time Machine, or any other email, program, or account to backup my Notes. If you have any of those options enabled or available I can not promise this will work for you. I upgraded from Maverick to Yosemite and immediately had this problem with my missing notes
    I was able to do the following to manually find and copy/paste my notes back into the Notes app:
    From your Mac Desktop click "Go" on the top menu bar
    From the "Go" drop down menu, select "Go to Folder..."
    In the window that appears enter the below file path; make sure to replace "USERNAME" with your Mac user account name: //Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
    Find the file named "NotesV3.storedata"
    Copy this file and save it into another folder (on your desktop works fine)
    Rename this file to "NotesV3.storedata.html" (if prompted, allow or accept the change to HTML)
    Double click the file and it should open in your default internet browser.
    Look through the text carefully, among the 'junk' text you should start to see the text from your lost notes.
    Copy whatever text you want to safe from this file and paste the text into Notes app on your Mac
    It is tedious but it is the only way I could restore my notes, hopefully it helps you too! - Please leave feedback in this thread about what worked for you.
    I did call apple, reported this issue, and I'm expecting a call in 1.5 weeks from a senior tech about what engineering has found.

  • I deleted my videos and photos by mistake, how can I get them back? I back up my phone on 2 Jan 2015

    Trying to restore back up and it's asking for PASSWORD TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE BACKUP? Anyone can help please

    This means you chose to password protect/encrypt your iPhone's backup. The password must be manually entered twice for confirmation. If you don't remember the password for your iPhone backup, you can't use it.

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.
