How to prevent contacts from being deleted at reset in iphone 5?

I'm going to do a factory reset in iPhone 5 but i don't want to lose my contacts. Is there any way to prevent them from being deleted?

Yeah, you have to connect your Iphone to iTunes and create a back-up. Then when you restore it, the Iphone asks you whether this is a new phone or whether you want to import your old Iphone settings. Then just click on import and your contacts should appear again. (but keep your Iphone connected to iTunes at any time)

Another way is to sync your contacts with icloud. That way, you won't lose them in any case.

Hope it helps!

Either copy them down or backup to icloud or iTunes.

  • Iphone memo, if I don't careful things get deleted. How do I prevent? When I delete, it's slow first then it's faster then it's instant all delete. so i have to stop holding delete after a while. This not the only problem. Sometimes accidentally I touch the screen something gets deleted and I don't remember what it was. Need something like undo delete. (Everybody already know how to restore the WHOLE memo but not the few words.)
  • IPhone 5s iOS 7 contacts are being deleted and won't come back? So what happened was I started out with 53 contacts then it went to 46 and now it's at 34 and every time I try to enter one contact it works, but if I enter another one, the first one is deleted. This is very frustrating and everytime a contact is deleted and my total number of contacts goes down, it gets stuck at that number and won't go back up.
