Thank you Lungs! It worked and my calendar events came back too!
HELP...SOS... when i initially installed icloud on my iphone and sent off my contacts, my battery died whilst backing-up.
Upon charge, all my contacts; 600+ GONE...!
Icloud has there after claimed no back-up had been performed...ZERO, never happened...yet,
all my SMS's and Call History, remain, without contact details.
**** it...what now???
Lungs, Thank you so very much. I was semi-hysterical as I am leaving for a long trip and these contacts are my life line. Such clear and concise directions are sometimes difficult to find. Your instructions were just that.Thank you again.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I can see my contacts in iCloud on the iCloud site, I turn off Contacts and nothing happens ( I assume that is because they are all gone on my phone). However when I turn contacts back on, I do not get a Merge option and no restore is happening. On ios 7.0.3. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Lungs I had an iPad i saved all my stuff before getting rid of it now I have iphone5 and can not get my stuff to pop up can u help with this problem
Not sure if I can help you. Need more details.
Where did you save it? iCloud, computer?
Lungs -
I am running ios 7.0.4 - I have tried to follow your directions, but I must be missing a step. My contacts suddenly disappeared from my phone, but they are still on the icloud website.
Here is the steps that I have done -
Go to settings/icloud - turned contacts to off (a screen pops up and says, contacts turned off)
Then, go to settings/itunes and LOG OUT of my icloud account.
Go back to settings/itunes and LOG INTO my icloud/apple id account
Go to settings/icloud - turn contact to on (a screen pops up and says, contacts turned on)
I've waited for several minutes, but my contacts are still MIA on my phone - Please help! Thanks!!!
Lungs, you are a rock star! Thank you!
Thanks to you Lungs, i can get my contacts back
Thanks, Lungs.
Thanks for your post. It was a great help for me when i lost my contacts from my iPhone 4s.
"Keep on my iPhone" should be selected when you off contacts & then "Merge" should be selected when again making it on.
Thanks a lot once again for your great help.
Lungs - your wisdom is much appreciated!
BUT I'm afraid to delete icloud as it says my photostream photos will be deleted from my phone. I don't appear to have any saved on icloud.com that I can tell. my icloud backup IS ON to back up the camera roll, etc. but when I log in on the .com, viewing my photos isn't even an option / there is no icon.
I did log out of my account via settings/itunes app store, and log back in, but nothing. No option to "merge" has ever appeared. Am I missing something simple? Anyone help?
I'm on an iphone 4s, new this summer but this is the first fail I've had.
Also for what it's worth I have a "Backup assistant app" that theorhetically has my contacts too, but I don't know how to get to those, either.
thanks Lungs!! just restored my contacts!!! Superb!!
