How to restore missing contacts

[rbeckett]

HERE IS THE IPHONE FIX FOR LOST CONTACTS AFTER INSTALLING OS4.

This is very simple.

1. go to settings
2. select mail, contacts etc
3. scroll down to import sim contacts and click
4. wait until finished and you have your contacts back.

Why this happens............

when backing up and syncing the phone the iphone does not store your contacts unless you tell it to. This is NOT automatic.

Then :

Export as csv
Open in excel and save as text .txt column or tab delimited (used default)

Restore my ph. Back to v4 with no contacts so I wouldn't duplicate the ones I put in this week.
Now I should have no problem sync'n with outlook!

Wow what a pain! But I'm thrilled to have my contacts back!



when on itunes page, you need select and tick sync contacts with...
you then have options for windows contacts , google, yahoo etc, if selecting windows, it stores them within windows.

Hope this helps you all. I've tried everything .... Hrs n hrs of research and attempts. This worked.
