[QUOTE="Ryno656, post: 1344052, member: 229769"] I need help, hopefully there is a way to retrieve deleted contacts from my address book or iPhone. I'm aware of the simple solutions to restore from a backup or time machine, but honestly I have failed to do that. The reason that lead me to this situation is iCloud. I was seeing duplicate contacts every time I tried to add or remove a contact from a group I created. I then deleted the duplicated contacts. Later realizing more were gone, losing a considerable amount of my contacts. I've tried a restore on my phone but since it automatically backs up everything i sync, I'm unable to go back far enough to retrieve the lost data. Tried importing contacts from my SIM card, still no luck. I thought or hope that in my Trash I would be able to find those deleted contact, since I have not emptied it, no luck since i was able to locate those files. I've read about and attempted Stellar Phoenix, but I'm challenged in how that works and what file names I need to be look for... I would like to think of myself as fairly technically savvy, but it is possible the things I tried were not do right... I honestly can't imagine this issue is a first. I've got to believe there is a way to recover deleted contacts. I'm running the latest versions on my Macbook Pro and iPhone. I hope there is someone out there who can help... [/QUOTE]
