Wondering if anyone can help with this. I did a search and found an abundance of questions on this but no answers to my particular issue.
I upgraded from the iPhone 3G to the 4S and my four imported a big mess of contacts from all of my address books on my various email accounts. In addition, I have a lot of cell numbers in my old phone that are not in any of those places. I asked at the Apple store how I can bring all this together, clean it up, and most importantly get the numbers from the old phone to the new one.
The "genius" at the Apple store (and I use that term loosely ) told me to start by logging into iCloud and syncing to bring my contacts from my phone to iCloud. So I did as he told me and I'm sure you don't need me to tell you what happened. Yes, my phone got wiped out.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any way to recover all those numbers?
2. Does anyone have a recommended step-by-step website to get iCloud properly set up (I've googled without success thus far).
I'm now afraid to plug in my new phone to iCloud for fear it will wipe it, too, and I'll be left with nothing.
Thanks!
