How do I recover an address book contact deleted by mistake?

Deleted a contact by mistake and need to put it back. Don't have the original email from the contact.

So I downloaded and installed the Add-on. . . and had to restart TB, which emptied my trash folder (where the deleted contact was presumably housed). And, when I visited the add-on after installation, I found nothing relating to recovery of any kind. It's mostly about importing and manipulating vCards, which I'm not interested in.
So, no, it didn't help. I'll keep the add-on for a bit, in case someone can tell my how its recovery function is supposed to work.

    How i can recover iPhoto app i have deleted by mistake. i have got OS X "10.9.4" version.

    First look, if it is still in your Trash. If yes, use "Put Back".
    To download it from the App Store, launch the App Store and sign into the App Store (in the "Store" menu) with the AppleID you used when you set up your Mac and accepted iPhoto to your AppleID or when you purchased it.  Then open the "Purchases" tab of the App Store window and download iPhoto again.  You should see an "Install" button to the right of "IPhoto", if you already owned the current version of iPhoto. If your version was an earlier version and not bought from the AppStore, use the installer media you originally used to install iPhoto.

  • How do I sync my address book contacts on my iphone and clear all other contacts on my phone (issue with icloud?)

    When I purchased my iphone 4S, I had all my old phone's information transfer over to my new phone. 
    I organized my address book on my mac powerbook and then hoped to sync my computer's address book to my phone - in hopes of erasing all the junky contacts on my iphone and only having the my address book contacts on my phone.
    I did all I could trying to make this happen (through iTunes) but it hasn't erased/replaced all of the contacts on my phone - I believe since my phone is synced to icloud.  So I'm stuck with a very unorgaized contacts list on my phone...
    How can I make it so I only have the contacts from my address book on my phone?
    Thanks in advance,
    Suzanne 

    Also, I just noticed that syncing my phone effected my calendar in that all my events now repeat.  So instead of having one event schedule on a day, I have two of the same events scheduled for the same time.
    It seems as if I can't sync my phone to my computer through iTunes and iCloud. 
    Help???

  • How to create a duplicate address book contact?

    This seems so simple yet I cannot determine how to create a new duplicate address book contact. I have a few contacts from the same company and want to change the variable data instead of re entering the data
    I can create a new contact, copy the data of the record I want to duplicate yet when I paste the info into the new record - address book puts everything into one field.
    Why not a duplicate contact command?
    GRRRR

    According to Address Book Help:

  • My computer crashed. HOw can I recover my address book, and emails?

    My computer recently died. It was old and I plan to get a new one rather than repair the old one. Is there a way to recover my address book? Recovering old emails would be nice, but I'm really most concerned about all my addresses.

    If the hard disk on the old computer still works, you could get someone to copy the profile from it to a CD. Then you could load that profile onto your new computer. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb to locate it.
    If the hard disk is not usable, then without backups you don't have much left. :(

  • Once on iCloud how do you recover lost address book data?

    After moving to iCloud my wife suddenely lost all her contact info earlier today.  When opening Address Book on her iMac & iPad all contact info was gone.  We signed on to iCloud.com and it was gone there too.  For some reason it was still on her iPhone.  I tried to force a merge from her phone by shutting off iCloud Contacts; selecting to keep data on the device; then turned it back on hoping to get the 'merge data' option.  I didn't get that message and sure enough in a few seconds the address book on her phone went empty.
    So, this raised the question about where do I recover the data from?  I looked in finder on her iMac under user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book - there were some files and directories there, but nothing that looked like it was loaded with contact info. I'm assumming once she moved to iCloud the detail is no longer stored locally in OS X?
    I went into System Prefs and shut off iCloud Contacts on the iMac, opened Time Machine, went back a week ago (prior to iCloud) and found contact info in the user/Library/Addplication Support/Address Book directory and restored the entire directory.  Opened Address Book and it was populated with data.  turned on iCloud Contacts and selected the 'Merge' data option which then populated her other devices.
    So, the question is - what if it had been longer than a week - where is this data (and probably calendar data too!) being backed up and where (and how) would you restore it from if it did suddenly turn up missing?

    So this gets back to my original question... not sure if bgbrobru is running Time Machine backups, but even if he is, I don't think the Address Book data is recoverable (unless you go back to a pre-iCloud backup) because it is no longer stored locally.
    If I understand correctly the only thing we can do going forward is to run a periodic 'manual' export of iCal and Address Book data to insure we have a backup?  In the event I do something stupid and mistakingly delete something or - like what happened to my wife today - the entire address book (or calendar entries) just disapear, we are screwed?  I guess this would also apply to email stored in folders on iCloud?
    Seems there should be some way to capture the iCloud data in a Time Machine (or some other mechanism) backup?
    Sorry Rick but that's incorrect,
    Here's a shot of the folder it lives in and the path to it, Time Machine backs it up.

  • How do I transfer my address book/contacts from my computer to my ipad?

    I recently purchased an iPad 1st generation, so I am in the learning mode. I want to have my adress book contacts on my Macbook Pro, available to me on my iPad. How do I go about this? Thank you

    On your Macbook Pro, go to "system preferences", click "icloud" and then check the box for "contacts". Then on your iPad, go to "settings", click "icloud" and make sure that the "contacts" option is "on". That should work.

  • How can I recovered a form that I delete by mistake?

    I nee someone help, How can I recovered a form that I create and later on I deleted by mistake? Thank you in advance for your prompt answer

    Hi;
    I am sorry to say that there isn't any method to recover a deleted form.  There is a confirmation dialog saying that this is a permanent deletion to ensure that is what you want to do, once you've confirmed the form is really deleted and not recoverable.
    Thanks,

  • Profile Manager - How to Wipe User's Address Book / Contacts

    Hello All,
    I have deployed about 90 MacBooks to a middle school.. when creating my Master Image, I didn't realize there were some contacts left over in the Contacts App... so now each student has about 10 local contacts when they launch the app.
    I am using the Profile Manager on Mavericks to configure all of these laptops.
    How can I, using Profile Manager on Mavericks Server, remotely wipe all of those contacts?

    Well.. not that anybody responded, but this isn't possible with Profile Manager.. but it is possible with Apple Remote Desktop.

  • How can I retrieve my address book data??

    I have an old Palm V.  My hotsync cable is bad, it won't sync any more.  And it won't charge the palm, which has been out of charge for, oh, maybe a year.
    So I've still used the Palm Desktop program, to keep track of my telephone numbers, etc.   Well, my cat sprayed the pc, and I had to get a new one.  Meanwhile, with all the shorting out that happened, the program won't open right.  I copied what I thought were the user files, reinstalled Palm Desktop, and got the program open, HOWEVER, the user box comes up like it's a brand new user, and won't recognize when I paste the files to the directory!!
    How do I recover my address book?  I don't care about all the other data, but I NEED this stuff!
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I have both those files.
    On a lark, I tried opening them through Open Office, AND I can see the data!   It's horribly arranged, but at least it's THERE.  So, problem solved, thank you!!

  • How to recover my address book if I didn't use the time machine?

    Depends a lot on when, what you have done since (and probably a good idea to not use the computer and devices). Might want to search for data recovery, Data Rescue 3 is handy with Mac and PC computers, not sure about the rest.

  • Recover Address Book Contacts

    All my Address Book Contacts have disappeared (0 Cards), and I don't know why. When I attempted to recover them by syncing with the contacts stored on an iPad, the result is that all the iPad's contacts were deleted, too (the most recently accessed card briefly appeared, but then vanished along with all the other cards). Can I recover the Contacts from a Time Machine backup, and if so, how do I do that?

    Yes you can recover all your contacts from Time Machine. Just restore Address Book from a time when you know the contacts were there. Also you have a misunderstanding about syncing your iPad (or any other IOS device), the computer sycs data such as contacts, music etc with the device, the device DOES NOT sync with the computer. So if you lose music or contacts from the computer you cannot restore them from the iPod. That is why you backup the computer it's to safeguard your data.
