Accidentally deleted contacts :(

I accidentally deleted my contacts from my iPhone and when I went to iCloud on my computer it said there was nothing there. When I got home I looked on my iPad and my contacts were still on it. Is there anyway to sync them back to my iPhone? Please help!

When you deleted them from your phone, iCloud synced this change to all your devices (as you found out). If they were on one of your devices when it was last backed up to iCloud, you may still be able to recover them by restoring the backup to your device following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Has anyone accidentally deleted contacts how do I recover ?

From a backup. If you are using Time Machine on an Apple computer, simply open Contacts on your Mac, then open Time Machine and go back to a time when the deleted contacts were present.

Accidentally deleted contacts app how to download again

Hi,
I've accidentally deleted contacts (address book in older versions) app , how can i download it back? Is there a link or can someone share the dmg file with me?
Thanks in advance.

It is not possible to delete the Contacts app using normal means:
Are you certain it no longer exists in your Applications folder? Perhaps you merely deleted it from the Dock. If that's the case, open the Applications folder, find the Contacts app, and drag it to the Dock.

Want to recover accidentally deleted contacts from iPhone.

Is there is any way that I could recover my contacts. My sister deleted some contacts by accident. I want to find those contacts back because they are very important to me. Thank you!

Have you got any backups of your iPhone data before? If you have backed up iPhone data to iTunes or iCloud previously, you can easily get back your contacts from iTunes or iCloud.

You cannot delete this app. It is somewhere. Check every page of the Home screen. If necessary, search for it under Spotlight (very first page of the Home screen).

Accidental deletion of data in contacts application file

While trying to follow instructions from an application web site to correct doubled listing in my contact file, I accidentally deleted the date in the contacts file under applications rather than the contact storage file. (settings/applications/manage applications/contacts. The Droid seems to work OK but I am wondering what I deleted and if I need to take it in and have it somehow restored. Does anyone know what data was in the Contact file?
Thanks

It should just be a simple system file that will not affect the use of the device. However if it does begin to affect the use and operation the device you can always perform a factory reset to clear it back to like new.

Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

Hello all,
I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is. Here is the long detailed explanation.
I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing) I noticed that under mail/contacts etc. that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it. I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names. I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly. Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly. I did not do this myself. Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts) I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either. I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there. I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up. After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion. This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal. Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again. I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either. Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!

Accidentally deleted a contact

sorry for posting this in multiple areas, I'm just not sure where it should be. :X
Hey, I just accidentally deleted a contact, the person doesn't use it anymore (or rarely) and I want to keep it on my list. Is there a way to readd it back to my list?

Apologize for the mini-spam.
Anyways, thanks to some more deep searching, I found my answer in a skype thread, I'd link...but apparently I'm not permitted.
Err, close at will. :X
Please don't be mad at me mods/admins! ;_;

Is there a way to retrieve contacts accidentally deleted?

Several times recently I have entered a lot of info in the 'notes'
section of a contact, inadvertently swiped my finger (in that
section) and brought up the red delete option. In trying desperately to
NOT delete the info, I somehow must hit Delete and all my info is lost.
Ok, I am uncoordinated or something. But, is there no way to retrieve that info
once it's been deleted, accidentally or intentionally? I prefer always to be
prompted with the "are you sure you want to delete this" option.
Similarly, if not paying close attention and you delete a contact (my
fingers don't seem to be listening all that well to my brain), again there
seems to be no way to undo it or be prompted with a helpful 'are you sure'
message.
Is there any way for me to retrieve my information???
I am seriously frustrated. Naturally with myself, but also with Apple. I
don't understand why there isn't an undo option or something. Given that for
most of us our contacts are a very important deal, and so many of us do things almost
on autopilot these days, there needs to be a means for not permanently losing
our contacts, or our notes about them, due to momentary lack of attention or
coordination or whatever!
I'm hopeful that
there is a way that I am just not aware of ? Please let me know if you have a
solution and thank you very much in advance!

Thank you again for your helpful response. I actually have 6.0, but have been afraid to update beyond that as I've heard from so many that it is problematic. I know I should upgrade my phone, I just cant make that happen right now.
Backing up at the end of the day would not solve the problem for me though, because the info would have already been deleted. What happens, infrequently, is that I enter all the info in the notes of a contact, and then end up accidentally deleting all of it b/c I accidentally swiped my finger and made the delete option appear. In trying to not delete, I somehow end up deleting the stuff I only just entered, if not paying close attention. So, before I've even had the chance to back the info up, it's been deleted
Anyway thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

Add them back in Contacts/Preferences/Accounts. Use the + sign at the bottom.
