How can I retrieve contacts deleted on my Mac?

I was making a group for my contacts and I accidently added some people I didn't want in the gropu so I deleted them thinking it deletes them from the group not my entire contact list how can I retrieve them?

If you JUST did it, in Contacts, go to the Edit menu and click Undo.
However, you should have seen a warning like this:
which gives you the option of deleting the card entirely or removing it from that group.
If it's too late to undo, your Time Machine backup should have your Contacts saved. With Contacts open, click on the Time Machine menu icon, click Enter Time Machine, and go back to a previous time/date and click Restore.

    Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

    First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
    I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
    I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
    Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
    How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
    Thanks again
    Anna

    Deleted the contacts from where?  The device? the computer? both?
    Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer.  Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

  • HOW CAN I FIND AND DELETE CLEAN MY MAC

    I have been haunted with this now for 2 years. I have tried everything I can think of to get this terrible software off my Mac, but hav failed. Every few minutes this software pops up and asks me if I want to delete my trash with it. Can someone show me how to find it?
    This is my Mac specs:

    "CleanMyMac" is a scam and a common cause of instability and poor performance. The developer's instructions don't completely remove it. Follow those instructions, then do as below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Never again install "CleanMyMac" or anything like it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How can I share contact list with another MAC

    How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

  • How can i retrieve my deleted contacts?

    My daughter deleted all my contacts off my phone and I cannot figure out to retrieve them?

    From the supported contact application you use to sync contacts, as designed. You do sync your contacts, correct?
    Do you backup to iTunes or iCloud?

  • How can I retrieve pics deleted in error?

    I created an album to move pictures from my Camera Roll into that album. After moving them over into the new album, I tried deleting them out of the camera roll but ended up deleting them completely. Is there any way I can retrieve them? Is there a trashbin I can retrieve them from???

    Camera roll photos are stored in the iPhone backup so if the photos were on your phone when you last synced you could restore your phone to the backup to recover them provided you have not synced your phone again since losing the photos.  Note: this will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backup, not just photos.  If you want to do this, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • HT1692 How can i retrieve a deleted calendar on iPad?

    I have deleted a calander from my iPad. I want to restore it.
    My last sync with iTunes was a long time ago...

    As you have found, if you restore the calendars from a backup, iCloud merrily brings them into line with itself by deleting them.
    There is a workaround for this, though it's a bit of a fandago: please see this page -
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/timemachine.html
    It's written for MobileMe but I would expect the process to be the same for iCloud (a confirmation of this would be helpful so I can add that to the web page). As you have a backup anyway you can't really get into any serious problems.

  • My WD Mybook Live has crashed with all my Itunes info on it. How can I retrieve it back on my Mac Pro

    Hello,
      I noticed that my My Book Live is not shown on my Mac Pro Disk Utilities. I checked the drive it is powered on and the Network light is flashing. But no other Pc in my House has access to it. The problem is that iCloud does not copy all my songs to the cloud, and now  since the file has failed, i can no longer access
    it , so the rest of my songs are now in limbo. I took the drive out of the enclosure and installed it inside my Mac Pro, but upon startup it said there is a drive that is not compatible, to please remove it. I purchased Distk tools Pro and it does not see the drive. Please can someone help me get my data back?
