[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1685901, member: 46727"] Since I'm not there looking over your shoulder, the only thing I can surmise from your post is that you're trying to restore the "Contacts" application which is not what you want to do. The system is telling you that the "Contacts" application can not be deleted and therefore should not have to be restored. What you really want to do is restore the contacts, not the application. This is what you want to restore: Macintosh HD/Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/AddressBook Note that your user library is hidden and will have to be made visible first before you will be able to even "see" the AddressBook folder from Time Machine.
