Recover iPod Touch contacts with Enigma Recovery software
With the decline in traditional physical address books, more and more of us are turning to our portable
gadgets to store the important information we use on a day to day basis. Users of the iPod Touch are no
different; the conveniently built in ‘Contacts’ app on an iPod Touch allows users to store personal contact
information of friends, family and business associates, storing data such as contact phone numbers, emails and
physical addresses.
Keeping this information on your iPod Touch is very convenient if you need to make a FaceTime call or send an
email directly from your device.
However, problems may arise when you accidentally delete important contact information, or even worse all of
the contacts on your iPod Touch. It is easily done – one swipe or tap on the wrong button and you can find
yourself in an upsetting situation. Losing contacts could also be out of your control; a failed software
update could also result in data loss.
In these types of situations, the last thing you would want to do is be forced to manually rebuild your
contacts on your iPod Touch, by asking all of your former contacts to give you their details again!
Fortunately, there is a data recovery software solution, offered by Enigma Recovery, which will recover
deleted contact information and even allow you to export it to your computer or restore it back to your iPod
Touch.
This software is completely safe in extracting and restoring data and will scan either your iPod Touch device
directly, or a backup file of your device. Able to recover different types of data, including Contacts, Calls,
Messages, Notes and more, our software will find your deleted data and display it to you in a readable format.
To recover, retrieve, export or restore contacts from your iPod Touch, follow the steps in one of our
tutorials below.

How to Recover Deleted & Existing Contacts From Your iPod Touch
Losing some or even all of the contacts on your iPod Touch can be very upsetting. The dreaded thought of
having to manually re-enter all of the contacts that you had on your device is enough to give anyone

looking for. Developed to recover deleted data from a range of devices, including iPod Touch, this
software will scan your device, finding deleted data and putting it together for you in a format that you
can view and understand.

available! To recover contacts from your iPod Touch, all you need to do is download Enigma Recovery to

How to Recover Your iPod Touch Contacts From iTunes Backup File
Syncing your device via iTunes creates an iTunes backup file, which is a copy of your device at the time
of backup. We recommend that you take the time to make regular backups of your device, as it can be a
life-saver in times of need! If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having your device lost
or stolen, you can use a software that can read iTunes backups, such as Enigma Recovery, to view and
extract your contacts. In their original format, iTunes backups are difficult to view and are not in a
readable format. It is also impossible to restore just one feature, for example contacts, back to your
iPod Touch, meaning you would be forced into a full device restore, even if you only want to recover your
contacts.
For these reasons, Enigma Recovery can save you both the time and stress of not having access to your
important contact information. Even if you no longer have your iPod Touch (if it has been lost or stolen),
all you need to do is install Enigma Recovery on your Mac or PC. Once the software has located your backup
file, it will extract the deleted contact and display the information you had stored for each contact in a
clear, organised format.
Follow our guide below to instantly recover contacts from your iTunes backup file.
You Will Need:
- A Mac or PC
- The free or full version of Enigma Recovery
- The latest version of iTunes
- An iTunes backup file

How to Recover Your iPod Touch Contacts From iCloud Backup
One of the main features of iCloud backup is its ability to backup contacts to your iCloud account,
storing all information relating to a contact that you had entered into your iPod Touch.
With Enigma Recovery software, you can recover deleted contacts from an iCloud backup file. This recovery
option is great if you:
- Have lost your iPod Touch
- Your iPod Touch has been stolen
- You do not have an iTunes backup available
- You have been carrying out regular, automatic backups via iCloud
When you delete data on your iPod Touch, including contacts, it is marked as ‘available space’ for new
data to be added. Therefore, once you have deleted something from your iPod Touch, we recommend that you
do not use your phone or sync via iCloud, as this could result in the deleted data being overwritten. The
less you use your iPod after deleting something, the more likely it is that you will be able to recover
it.
Using Enigma Recovery software you can access your iCloud backup(s), taken from before you deleted your
contacts from your iPod Touch, or before your device was lost or stolen. Keep reading our simple tutorial
below to find out more!
You Will Need:
- A Windows PC or Mac
- An iCloud backup file
- The free or full version of Enigma Recovery
- Your iCloud login details (we will never share these)

How to Transfer Deleted & Existing iPod Touch Contacts to Your Mac or PC
As we’ve already discussed, the contacts app on our personal digital devices is quickly replacing
traditional address books. The easiest way to get the contact information of a friend or family member is
to reach for your nearest portable device, such as your iPod Touch.
Despite the convenience of keeping your contact information on your iPod Touch, you might still need to
have a physical copy of this data available, or you may want to transfer your contacts to your email
provider. Whilst this may have proven tricky in the past, Enigma Recovery can help simplify this process
for you.
Once you have recovered the deleted contacts on your device, or retrieved the existing contacts on your
device, you can then transfer this data to your Mac or Windows computer. With a number of export options
available from within the software, including VCF, XLS, CSV, XML and PDF you can either export the contact
information to be printed, or to be transferred to your email client (via VCF).
With Enigma Recovery, you can transfer contacts either directly from your iPod Touch, or from an iTunes
or iCloud backup file. The entire process is secure, and our software will not remove or damage any of the
contacts information on your iPod Touch or backup file.
You Will Need:
- A Mac or Windows PC
- The free or full version of Enigma Recovery
- An iPod Touch
- An iCloud or iTunes backup file (if needed)

How to Restore Lost, Deleted or Existing Contacts to Your iPod Touch Using the App
If you’ve lost or deleted contacts from your iPod Touch, you more than likely want to be able to get
these back to your device without the need for you to add them manually, or to do a full restore of your
device from a backup file. Here at Enigma, we understand how important it is to not only recover your
deleted data, but to be able to transfer it back to your device as well.
That’s why one of the key features of Enigma Recovery software is its restore functionality, which
enables users to transfer deleted contacts which they feared were lost forever back to an iPod Touch, with
our free Restore iOS App. Once you have restored your contacts back to the Restore app on your device, you
can then save the data back to the native Contacts application on your iPod Touch. This feature can also
be used to transfer existing contacts to your iPod Touch from other iOS devices, such as iPhone or iPad or
from an available backup file.
Our tutorial below will walk you the process of restoring both deleted and existing contacts to your iPod
Touch. You can rest assured that the transfer of all data back to your device is safe and secure.
To save you manually entering deleted contacts back into your handset, follow the steps below to restore
iPhone contacts that have accidentally been deleted.
