How do I retrieve my contacts list without an iphone?

Since you have no iPhone, you cannot restore with the iTunes backup, however, you can extract the contacts from iTunes backup using an iPhone backup extractor.

Besides extracting from iTunes backup, there are still other ways to recover iPhone contacts even if you have no iPhone.

1. Copy from old phone’s SIM card;
2. Extracting from iCloud backup;
3. Using other sync service that you used on your iPhone, e.g. Google Contacts, on your new phone.

download "Fetch My Contacts" app. gives you access to all of your contacts from any device through their website fetchmycontacts.com

hmmm this is what you're looking for, if I understand your question properly. If you lost your iPhone,

you may have an iTunes backup somewhere...that program allows you to export your iTunes backup, including your contacts to your PC/MAC/Laptop.

Other than that, if you're phone is gone, your data is gone. I'm sorry to say, but: you CANNOT get it back.

your contacts may be synced to iCloud in which case you can view them without the need for an extractor.

Try going to iCloud.com and signing in then clicking contacts

Don't you think the OP has perhaps already solved the problem as the question is almost 3 years old?

To be fair, someone posted spam to this thread, which brought it to the top of the listing. The spam is gone, but the thread remains at the top. This is a common problem. I do suggest looking at the posting date before replying, but I am not consistent about that either.

sorry didn't realize thread was nerco'd 😢

Before a sync or restore, I believe that iTunes will create a backup of your contact's contents (unless you manually cancel this backup). The backup will contain the contacts and videos that were on the phone.

You can check if a backup was created by doing the following:

1. Launch iTunes
2. iTunes > Preferences > Devices
3. See if there is an entry with the date of the restore.

If a backup exists, you can recover your data with one of two methods:

• Restore your phone using that backup; or
• Use an application such as*******to extract the images out of the backup file.

Hi,
