HT4890 Is it possible to retrieve deleted contacts from a former backup?

I am trying to retrieve deleted contacts, but I do not see them in my iCloud account. Is there any way to retrieve them? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple communities.
iCloud data is not part of your iCloud backup, therefore restoring your phone will not help recover your deleted contacts.
If your iCloud contacts are synced with your computer, then you can recover any deleted contacts from the backup you keep of your computer. Unfortunately if you do not sync your iCloud contacts to a computer or you do not keep a backup of the computer you will be unable to recover them.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contact list?

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contacts?

If you have an iCloud backup of an iOS device that was made while the contacts were still on it, you may be able to restore them from the backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).

Can I retrieve deleted contacts from Address book

Can I retrieve deleted contacts from address book on my mac or contact list on my iphone?

Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted emails from VIP mailbox

I deleted emails from my VIP mailbox and didn't expect them to be removed from my "On My Mac" mailbox. They are not in Trash. Can they be retrieved?
OSX 10.9.2

Thanks again Linc Davis.
I have tried all this, if I understand you correctly. That is, having restored a Mail window I look at each Mailbox. The problem is that for whatever reason, deleting from VIPs also deleted from my created Mailboxes which appear in Mail under "On my Mac".
I thought that all deleted emails went to a hidden file which could be found if you knew where to look. This happens with a PC, is it not the same with Apple?
I would appreciate any further help.

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.

you dont. its all or nothing

My husband and I use the same apple ID, I have just started using an iPhone and deleted all his contacts from my phone. He hadn't backed up his iPhone but my iPad is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way I can retrieve his contacts from there?

My husband and I use the same apple ID. I started using a new iPhone and deleted his contacts from my phone which has also deleted them from his phone. He hasn't backed up his phone but my iPad is backed to iCloud. Can I retrieve the contacts from this?

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

Retrieving deleted contacts

I have 2 iphones, I was deleting contacts off my old iphone 4 and then realised all contacts have disappeared from my new iphone 5 and ipad, tried unsuccessfully restoring from icloud....now what?

If you have backed up your device to the PC using the BlackBerry Desktop Software or have BlackBerry Protect activated, your contacts should be there.
Otherwise, you cannot retrieve a deleted contact from the device itself.

Retrieve deleted contacts ?

Silly me deleted contacts from my address book, i have no backup. Is there any way i can get them back. They are not in the trash.....

As you're asking in the iSync forum (instead of the Mail & Address Book forum), does that mean you're syncing your Address Book contacts to a mobile phone?
If so, depending on which mobile phone you have you may be able to retrieve them from there.
You haven't mentioned which version of Mac OS X you are using. If you are using 10.5 and have Time Machine turned on, then you may be able to retrieve them from there.
With no backups at all there's no guaranteed way of getting deleted contact back.
However, if you're very lucky, this may work:
1) Quit Address Book
2) Navigate to {Your Mac HD}/Users/{Your username}/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
3) See if there are files called "AddressBook.data" and "AddressBook.data.previous"
4) Backup, then delete the "AddressBook.data" file
5) Rename "AddressBook.data.previous" to "AddressBook.data"
6) Reload Address Book with your fingers crossed.
If that doesn't work, then you've lost your Contacts.

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

Is it possible to retrieve the data from maintainance view?

Hi experts,
Am facing one problem.
Is it possible to retrieve the data from Maintainance View ,If yes how?
IF it is not possible then Y?
While am trying to retrieve data from maintainance view it's showing message like
"it is not a database view or table".
Can u pls give me ans.
Thanks&Regards,
Arun.

Hi Arun,
It is not possible to retrieve the data from Maintenance view. Maintenance View is different and Database View is different.
Maintenance view : Maintenance view permits you to maintain the data of an application object together.The data is automatically distributed in the underlying database tables.
A standardized table maintenance transaction is provided (SM30), permitting you to maintain the data from the base tables of a maintenance view together.
In other words, Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.
Database View: Data about an application object is often distributed on several database tables. A database view provides an application-specific view on such distributed data.A database view is automatically created in the underlying database when it is activated.Database views implement an inner join.If the database view only contains a single table, the maintenance status can be used to determine if data records can also be inserted with the view. If the database view contains more than one table, you can only read the data.
Database views should be created if want to select logically connected data from different tables simultaneously. Selection with a database view is generally faster than access to individual tables. When selecting with views, you should also ensure that there are suitable indexes on the tables contained in the view.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,
Srinivasa
