Hello,
I recently lost an iPhone 3GS and replaced it with an old iPhone 3GS (replacement). The replacement required a software update but said that the previous phone contacts would synch after the software update. I have since completed a software update during which an error occurred, but the software eventually completed it's update. I now can't find my contacts from the previous phone. Should I restore to the original settings? Are my contacts stored on my Mac somewhere within iTunes?
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks,
Parker
Assuming you synced your old phone with this iTunes library before you lost it, try connecting your replacement phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup, choose your the backup of your old 3GS to restore from.

Note: restoring from this backup will revert all the data and settings on your phone to those included in this earlier backup, not just contacts. If you need to save more recent information on your phone, do so before restoring to this earlier backup.
