My iphone has just crashed (I wasn't syncing it at the time - all I was doing was editing a contact to add a personalised ringtone for that person). It just crashed in the middle of changing the ringtone (or it may have been after I selected save) and went to the blank screen with apple sign in white. It took so long and nothing was happening so I pressed top off button and menu button at same time to switch it off and on again and when it came back on, I realised that I have none of my contacts in my address book. Funnily enough it doesn't seem to have wiped the phone. Photos, apps, text messages are all there. Even my favourite numbers are still stored but I have no names attached to those numbers!!! Its REALLY frustrating.
Can people tell me what I can do to get them all back? Is there anything I can do to fix this problem WITHOUT synching with my pc? The reason I say this is that I am worried that the minute I connect the iphone to the computer it will do what it always does and start backing up the iphone as it is. How do I set it up to restore the iphone to the way it was before - in fact, how do I restore ONLY the address book. I have photos that I want to back up and apps that I've downloaded since my last sync so I don't really want to go back to the exact state my iphone was in when I last sync'd it!!!
Please please please help me!!!!
