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! ;_;

If you backed up the phone when the video was still on it, restoring the backup will get it back. However, anything new on the phone since the backup will be deleted.

How do I delete all contacts in my iphone?

After trying to sync my secondary iphone with icloud I find that I have an enormorse amount of duplications. I would like to delete all contacts from the iphone and sync with what I have on my mac. I would prefer not to do a complete reset on the iphone for this will also create a lot of work. Does anyone have any thought as to how I might accopmlish this?

I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken. As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes. He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

If it was stolen seven months ago, then you are a little late to do anything about it. Buy a new one.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.
