Hey guys

So i just backed up my iphone, all went well, restored it and wanted to restore from my previous backup... when i do this it gets stuck at the apple logo and thinking bars, and keeps buzzing in sets of 2. I've reformatted at least 4 times now and also reformatted in DFU mode... each time i've done this i've tried to restore it from my previous backup, the only one i have... with hopes of SOLELY getting my contacts!

So i think i have a corrupt backup in the DEVICE list in iTunes, i've located the backup file from library / application support...etc, so is there ANYway i can somehow get my contacts back!?

that's the only thing i'm worried about.
thanks in adv.
Tim

Sorry for your troubles, but I hope you learn to back up your data - redundancy is always a good thing.

Don't you sync it with Outlook, MobileMe, anything??
