  • 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.

  • Is there a way to retrieve an accidentally deleted "note" from my 4S if it's not in the cloud?

    I mistakenly deleted a very important note.  How can I get it back?

        Yikes! I can totally understand the need of retrieving that note. Have you backed up your device with iTunes since you've had that note? If so, you can restore your device. Here is how: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • Is there any way to retrieve accidentally deleted source clips?

    I accidentally deleted source clips for a video project, and now the viewer won't show my video (although I can still see the frames when I run my cursor over the project). Is there any way to retrieve the files or show iMovie where to find the source clips on my computer, kind of like how it's possible to show iTunes where to find source mp3s on my computer when they're moved from the iTunes file? Since I can still see the frames when I move my cursor over the clips (with the exclamation points in the corners), it seems as though the memory of the edited clips must still be in iMovie somehow and be recoverable. Any help would be appreciated - I'd really like to avoid having to re-import and re-edit all of those clips!

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

    I would appreciate any help.

  • I have accidentally deleted my voice memo when i pressed the 'delete' button, thinking that is to change the name of my voice memo. is there a way to retrieve the memo back?

    I have accidentally deleted my voice memo when i pressed the 'delete' button, thinking that is to change the name of my voice memo. is there a way to retrieve the memo back?
    really do not understand why apple provides just one confusing delete button in its newer ios, instead of the previous versions which actually gives a confirmation button of whether to delete voice memo.

    What system did the Mac come with and what system are you running now? If it's 2 years old, i.e. bought in 2010 then it came with Leaport or Snow Leopard installed and would have had install disks.  Included in those disk would be a disk similar to one of these:
    That would have included iPhoto 8 (09) if bought before October 20, 2010 or iPhoto 9 (11) if bought after that date.  In either case you should have a disk like in the screenshot.  If not then you'll have to purchase an iLIfe 11 boxed disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 and install your missing applications from it and then apply the latest updaters from the Apple Downloads web page/

  • I accidentally deleted a very important page in my NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    I accidentally deleted an important page in NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    If you have backed up the iPad since you created that page of notes and if you have not synced since, you can try restoring the iPad from a backup. Remember that the notes do have to be in the backup and when you restore from a backup, you restore all app data and files from that backup. You cannot select specific content to restore to the iPad. It is all or nothing.
    If you want to try this, turn off auto sync in iTunes - without the iPad connected to the computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preference>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check the box at the bottom, click OK. Make sure that you have a backup in that window as well. Click OK and quit iTunes.
    Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select  - Restore from Backup. Select your backup from the window - Let the iPad restore and then sync with iTunes.
    you can turn at sync back on again when you are done.

  • I accidentally deleted some files in my Notes on my Iphone 4s, is there a way to retrieve them?

    I was trying to copy and paste in my Notes and accidentally deleted them after highlighting. Is there a way to retrieve them???? I assume that once you delete them on one device, it deletes them in the cloud and other devices because they are not there.

    If you use iCloud then use the restore feature. If you backed up to your computer then restore from there. However if   you did not backup prior to erasing the notes, then they're gone.

  • I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

    To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
    If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
    In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:

  • HT4847 is there any way to retrieve a previously stored backup?

    Is there any way to retrieve a previous back up? My contacts were accidentally erased.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately the only way to recover content from a backup is to restore the whole device from that backup. You cannot selectively restore files from a backup.
