How do I restore Groups to Contacts from time machine?

How do I restore groups to Contacts using time machine? I somehow managed to duplicate many groups and contacts in Contacts, so I deleted everything and tried to restore them using time machine backup from a few days before. It restored all my contacts, but none of my groups. If you select a group and click restore it will restore all the contacts in the group, but not the group itself. I had many groups with many contacts in each and would really prefer not to do this manually. I can see the groups in the time machine backup, but cannot figure out how to restore them. I know from researching online that with Address Books and previous operating systems you could go to ~Library/Applications Support/AddressBook and restore the whole file, but either this operating systems hides the necessary files or Contacts is set up differently than AddressBook was. I am using OS 10.9.5 and Contacts version 8.0 on a MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010.

Here is what I have tried:
1. Finder>Go>(Option)Library>Address Book(highlighted)with files showing in right column. Opened Time Machine and Address Book folder is there. Tried to go back to several previous dates from several months ago. None will highlight in order for the Restore button to light up.
2. Finder>Mac HD (under Devices)>(Option)Library>Address Book (same as above). Again, cannot go anywhere back in time to highlight a date for Restore button to light up.
Note: I was able to use Time Machine to restore my Contacts with no problem. However, they are All Contacts only and did not restore my Groups. I do know how to make groups again and highlight and drag them back, but wanted to see if there was a way to restore the groups. I will post another question as to why my Time Machine won't let me restore the Address Book as well as the Contacts. Thank you for your time and patience.

HT4927 How do I restore my iPhoto library from a time machine back up of a macbook pro to an iMac?

My Macbook Pro is in a coma, but luckily I backed up on the 20th May. I managed to get my itunes library back on my new iMac; but cannot figure out how to do the same with iPhoto. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance!

Again - this is not the way to do this and generally does not work - you must use TimeMachine as designed - instructions link again http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Note especially
Restoring data from Time Machine backups
With Time Machine you can go "back in time" to restore files, versions of files, or your entire system. Make sure your backup drive is connected and mounted (if not, Time Machine will alert you that "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found."
If prompted, enter an administrator name and password to proceed with the restore.
Restoring specific files or folders
Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu and the restore interface appears. You can literally see your windows as they appeared "back in time."
You can use the timeline on the right side of the window to reach a certain point back in time (the timeline shows the times of all backups on your backup drive). If you don’t know exactly when you deleted or changed a file, you can use the back arrow to let Time Machine automatically travel through time to show you when that folder last changed.
Note: Dates in pink indicate the data resides on your Time Machine backup device. Dates in white indicate the data resides on your Mac. In OS X Mountain Lion and Lion, portable Macs have the feature of local snapshots. See thisarticle for details.
You can also perform a Spotlight search in the Time Machine Finder Window search field to find a file. Simply type the Spotlight search field and use the back arrow to have Time Machine search through your backups to find what you are looking for.
Before you restore a file, you can also use Quick Look to preview a file to make sure its the one you want. Highlight the file and press the Space Bar to bring up a quick look.
To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder. If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
Restoring your entire system from a backup
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Recovery system (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Note: If "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac" appears when restoring a backup that was made on a different Mac, follow the onscreen instructions.
If you are restoring a backup made by one Mac to a completely different Mac
Important: If the backup you are about to restore is from a completely different Mac, use the Migration Assistant to transfer data from the backup, as described in the next section.
Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac
When you buy a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made.
You will be asked if you want to transfer files when you start up your new Mac for the first time. Or, you can use theMigration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities).
After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.
And again for detailed TM answers go to the Time Machine forum

How do I restore the login.keychain from a time machine back up in lion

I recently reinstalled Lion on my MBP after doing a back up with Time Machine. I don't want to restore everything using the migration assistant since the issues I was having were mostly due to my account. In Snow Leopard this process seemed very straght forward restoring keychains from the library folder under my user name. Now I can't find the login.keychain anywhere. I'm not sure where else the file might likely be. Any help much appreciated.

Navigate in the Finder to the /Home/Library/Keychain/ folder. Then open TM applications. Go back to the time from which you want to restore and select the file to restore.
For assistance select Help Center from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine." From the produced list select "Time Machine overview." Scroll to bottom and click on the link Restore items backed up with Time Machine.

HT4946 How can I restore just the contacts from a backup?

I had to restore my computer to factory settings as it would not download any new apps from iTunes. I now want to restore my contacts. I do not want to restore settings, etc. as these may have been the source of the problem.
I don't want to sync all my windows contacts, just the ones I had on the phone. I can't find a way of doing this Can you help?

You have to restore the entire backup. You can restore the backup, then back up your contacts using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then restore it as new again and use this backup to re-import the contacts to your phone.

How do I restore my deleted contacts from my iCloud backup?

I recently installed iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPhone 4. When our contact list merged, I deleted the ones on my phone that I didn't want (all of hers). I didn't realize it was deleting them from her phone as well. We tried restoring both phones from backups created the day before but the deleted contacts did not return. My phone is backed up through iCloud and hers is backed up to our computer.

HT4859 How do I restore my Itunes account from the cloud.

My computer crashed and I have a new one and need to restore Itunes before I sync my iphone and Ipad.

iCloud does not contain your iTunes media, other than purchased apps and music, which can be redownloaded if necessary (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html). Transferring media not purchased from the iTunes or App stores to your iTunes library is not supported with iTunes. You have to use 3rd party software such as PhoneView (mac) or Touch Copy (pc or mac) to accomplish this.
These two articles will explain how to re-establish syncing with iTunes and transfer as much data from your iPad to your iTunes library as possible. (The first was written for the iPhone, but it works the same way for the iPad.)

How do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?

how do i restore notes i deleted from iphone5?

Last week, I had serious yahoo mail issues. I'd forgotten that I'd deleted yahoo mail and added it again. Thus turning off notes in the mail settings (notes was not enabled on email). This will save you from buying expensive recovery software that you may only use one time. It will also save you from a long system retore on my iphone which may have cause you to lose unsaved data. This is the easiet way to get your deleted notes compared to the alternatives.
Deleted, lost notes on iphone 5
On your iPhone:
1) Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Gmail>turn Notes On
4) Then to All of my other email accounts and checked the notes were on. I.e, iCloud, Yahoo, etc.

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

HT4859 how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

Documents do not get lost, they do get deleted. If you deleted - you need to look for local back up.
If you "lost" you need to check if they still in the cloud at icloud.com

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My contact data has been errased while downloading IOS6. How do I restore my lost data?

My contact data has been errased while downloading IOS6. How do I restore my lost data?

FYI in case anyone is following this:
I selected the one game I wanted to restore, I resynced. iTunes reinstalled the game but the DATA WAS NOT RESTORED.
So the question I have for APPLE: *** is the purpose of DATA BACKUP when SYNC cannot RESTORE it? Apps are backed up, data is backed up, but SYNC only restores the app. APPLE + iTUNES = CRAP.
