Will i lose my icloud contacts if i connect with my reset phone?

I left my phone in a club and they reset it (although i had it locked) before it was returned to me (obviously planning on using it themselves) i have my contacts fortunately backed up on icloud and what i would like to know is if i connect my now reset phone to icloud will my contacts on icloud be reset as my new contacts directory is blank. Also is there a way to import my icloud contacts to my phone or do i have to manually enter them.
Thanks
Lewis

i set mine up for Exchange today and when I went to turn on Contacts it warned me this it would replace all my contacts with the ones from Exchange. Since I have all of my Personal contacts in a group on Exchange/Outlook anyway it was Ok for me. Once you are setup to sync with Exchange and Contacts it no longer sync with the Contacts on your computer.
What worked out well for me was I was just testing the Exchange piece so I later turned off Contact synching and it erased all of the Contacts on my Touch. Then, the next time I synched with my computer I had the option to sync Contacts again from the computer and that put me back to the way I was before playing with the Exchange piece.

If I do a reset on iphone5 will I lose settings ie contacts?, if I do a reset on iphone5 will I lose settings ie contacts?

If I do a reset on iphone5 will I lose my settings as in contacts etc.

A reset will not affect data. A restore however, can. Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer. This is where they are saved. The backup process for the iPhone does not really save all contact data.

If i associate my apple id with another email will i lose my icloud data or i will still be able to access all my stored data with the new linked to my apple id email address?

hi there
if i associate my apple id with another email will i lose my icloud data or i will still be able to access all my stored data with the new linked to my apple id email address?
i mean i am not signing up for a new account, just changing my old id primary email which is my apple id login into account.
in other words, www.icloud.com will recognize that it is still me if i login on the site? will i be able to see there all my stored information?
and if i change my password, does it automatically changes the @icloud.com password which should be the same as my apple id pass?
thanks

After opening the email it shoud of had you enter the Apple ID and password. Using certian web browser's can cause errors. You can adjust securty settings (big pain) or you use another browser. Using Firefox or Safari should do the trick.
Let me know if using Firefox or Safari resolved it.

Updaing iPhone software does not touch any user data or settings. However, sync BEFORE you update. This will create a current iPhone backup. Also make sure that ALL content on your phone is either in your iTunes library or supported applications on your computer. That way, if something were to go wrong(rare), you can easily restore all of your data & content.

Last paragraph of the linked post...
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Yes if you're restoring as new, NO if you're going to restore from backup.

Use Windows Backup to safeguard the files, then use it to restore them.

Nope. All iTunes content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it. Such cannot be transferred to another ID.

If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?

I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above. That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

Will I lose my icloud information if I switch accounts?

Okay so I have been sharing an icloud account with my friend for a couple of years but I have my own account that I use for all my devices except for saving like contacts to the cloud. If I switch and start saving to my account will I lose my contacts?

You will if you don't migrate the data to the new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your friend's devices won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

If I change Apple ID will I lose all my contacts

My husband and I share an Apple ID and are separating accts, but don't want to lose my contacts

Having just changed my Apple ID to separate myself from my son who was sharing my ID I can tell you how to handle this in IOS7. I went to the Apple web site and established my new ID.
I followed the advice on this support page to change my Apple ID Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
I then followed the advice on this page to update the ID on my device Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
IMPORTANT!!!! When you delete your iCloud for your old Apple ID off your phone you will lose all your documents that are in the cloud but not your contacts that are out in the cloud. Also, before following the directions on the"Sign in with a Different Account" page to delete the iCloud Apple ID first turn off iCloud sync on each item individually. When you turn off the sync it will ask you if you want to keep the data on your phone. Yes you do want this. After turning off sync individually Delete the iCloud account for the old Apple ID. Then when you then sign into iCloud with your new Apple ID select the Merge option and it will upload all your contacts and data to the iCloud account for your new Apple ID.
If you simply Delete your iCloud account it will delete all your contacts off your phone. If you delete iCloud without first turning sync off Contacts and your contacts are then deleted off your phone, don't worry. Simply log back into iCloud with your old account and your contacts will be restored. Then you can turn off the sync on all items, Delete the old account from iCloud, sign in with the new apple Id, select Merge iPhone data. So it puts your contacts and data from your phone into your new iCloud account.

After Archive and Install, will I lose all my contacts and apps?

I recently had to do an Archive and Install of OS-X 10.4 and I'm in the process of getting everything up to date.
I need to know if after this process when I try to sync my iPhone if I will lose all my contacts, music, and/or apps?
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Matt

Hi JTatro
An Arhive and Install will keep your documents, photos, files, etc, in a folder called previous system, so no, you won't lose them.
But to be safer still, it would be even better to backup these precious files to another location, like to DVD or another drive.
If this answered your question, please consider awarding stars.

Will I lose my personal contacts if I add an Exchange/Active Sync account?

I read that if I configure my business Exchange account via active sync I will lose my personal contacts on the phone. True?

i set mine up for Exchange today and when I went to turn on Contacts it warned me this it would replace all my contacts with the ones from Exchange.

Will I lose my paid apps if I do a factory reset?

As the title says. will I lose the apps I bought on Ovi store if I do a factory reset (via settings - phone menu, not an hard reset). What does the factory settings reset practically mean?
Thanks!

not sure what phone you are using....but the ovi store has a limit on some apps as to how many times you can download them.
i would recomend finding the solution to keep a copy of the sis/sisx/deb/install files from the site so that IF you get to that limit, you dont have to figure out how to contact them about it, and then wait over a week for the response and then a phone call and then a sms to you phone with a new link to download it again like i had to do.
you can do a google search to find the process...that info may get kicked/modded with a handslap here!

Hi bought an Ipod and a friend put music on it for me but will I lose the music if I sync it with my own computer?

A friend has put music on my IPOD but now I would like to add more from my own PC. Will I lose all the original music if I erase and sync?

OK.
Same thing.
When you buy a cd you DO NOT buy the right to distribute that music to others - this is stealing and is not legal.
You have no legal right to the music.
Sorry.
