Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

I've not failed to do that.  The contact list on my Mac is from my phone, not my wifes phone (which is the troublesome one).  I restored it to last backup and it is back but I am not certain the problem will be fixed.  Time will tell.  My question is how to get her phones contact list back post reset...just the contact list.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

    Don't know what you mean by "some time ago", but unless you activated Find My Phone and the phone is still on, the answer is no. (Even if you ask 3 times).

  • I built a website with iWeb on my older mac and launched it on the internet. The hardrive crashed which was where the files were saved for the website. Is there any way to recover it through the internet onto my newer computer?

    Is there any way to recover this website? I need to edit it but the original files were wiped clean even after recovering what was left on the hard drive.

    iWeb stores its sites and pages in a proprietary package format on the HDD in the user library, and when FTP'ing it to the server, it's a set of PHP and other file types. So, there is no way you can re-build from what's on the server.
    But you may double-check, the file in question on the HDD is ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 (where ~ is your user home folder). Maybe it's somewhere among your recovered files? Restoring it into the same location and copying iWeb into the Applications folder will get you going again.
    Other than that, here is a discussion forum dedicated to iWeb.

  • Is there any way to recover a deleted sparse bundle?

    I had an old sparsebundle (380GB) saved onto an external drive.
    I wanted to keep this old sparsebundle,
    but when I went to run a new Time Machine backup to this external drive it deleted the old sparsebundle.
    Is there any way to recover this deleted sparsebundle.
    As I began to run the new Time Machine backup, it changed the name of the old sparsebundle
    from xxxxx.sparsebundle
    to xxxx.purgeable
    then POOF it disappeared.
    I cancelled the new Time Machine backup as soon as I saw the file extension change to .purgeable,
    but even though the new Time Machine backup didn't seem to start (I cancelled it in time),
    the old sparsebundle is gone.
    I ran Data Rescue and all it could find is a file that is only a few KILObytes called xxxxx.in_process.
    It would take a long time for the 380GB sparsebundle to be overwritten,
    so I don't think that happened.
    But can the old sparsebundle be recovered (and be usable)?

    A sparsebundle is a disk image.. if the actual file info is wiped then I really doubt you can recover it. Since you ran a recovery software which has worked recovering stuff for me.. and it couldn't find it.. your only hope would be real data recovery centre.. but although they can get raw data off the disk how useful it would be is questionable.. sorry but I think it is gone.

  • Is there any way to recover a disk's catalog directory after a Quick Erase?

    A disk's data directory seems to me to be the most vulnerable Achilles's Heel to protecting data.
    With the 1 click of an accidental quick erase and format via Disk Utility, the roadmap to potentially multiple terabytes of data gets erased.
    Even if zero data files were overwritten and all of the data files get recovered, (please, please correct me if I'm wrong) data recovery software can't retrieve the filenames, folder names, and the organizational, hierarchical structure, which then can only be painstakingly rebuilt by hand.
    Relative to the size of the data, the directory is tiny. Wouldn't recovering a backup of the directory (that should always be automatically made as a fail-safe whenever an erase/format is done) make complete recovery fast and easy?
    This seems waaayyyy too obvious to be overlooked, but everything I read indicates that with 1 click, it's gone and can't be recovered!
    Is there any way to recover a disk's catalog directory after a Quick Erase?

    This is not accurate.
    The catalog on an erased disk may be recoverable - you need to use the correct software to look for it & repair it. SSD's will make this more difficult because of how the controller operates on the drive reallocating & overwriting entire chunks without any external way to override that but spinning disks should still have the potential for recovery. If you have more dollars than sense (e.g. 3 letter agencies) you could apparently use advanced techniques to undo layers of magnetic changes - magnetic force microscopy is meant to be able to do this, but I have only seen it discussed as theory, never demonstrated.
    Tools like TestDisk may be able to rebuild the original partition structure, from there you could try tools like Disk Warrior to reconstruct the catalog, which could potentially recover the file & folder names. I'm generalising here because I haven't done this on HFS+ (at least as far as I can remember ), I have done comparable things on Linux ext3 volumes. HFS+ has similar features (like a built in backups of the volumes structures).
    You seem to be concocting a solution that seems weird to me - saving a backup disk catalog when erasing a disk entirely defeats the point of erasing (unless the backup should be saved to another physical disk).
    You agreed to erase the disk - the error here is yours (sorry for being blunt, but you shouldn't really expect Apple to account for uncommon user mistakes). Frankly people shouldn't be editing disks when there are non backed up volumes connected but sometimes it's a hard lesson to learn.
    If you have a backup running file recovery on a deleted volume is irrelevant - you would always be better off replacing from a copy, 'file carving' or data recovery is likely to bring back old files which were not erased & not in the last catalog, potentially polluting the result. 
    If you don't know how to recover & have erased data that you really need recovered take it to a professional company, it is the best option by far. Using & attempting to repair can lose more data as Kappy noted.
    There are many other drawbacks with HFS+ that should probably be addressed before this e.g. data is not verified to be the identical as when it was originally stored to disk.
    If you really don't like the filesystem limitations use an alternative like ZFS on a server, that has many extra features that better at protecting what is saved. Other systems also manage file duplication for redundancy & data verification etc.
    Mac OS Extended is all we have that is fully supported on OS X for booting & all common tasks, so ask Apple to address you concerns http://apple.com/feedback/ but I'm not sure it makes sense for other users.

  • Is there any way to recover a file if Time Machine is not set up?

    I accidentally overwrote a file in word (i saved it as the same name and i agreed to overwrite it). I do not have Time Machine set up. Is there any way to recover the original file?

    There's a slim chance. +*Stop using the drive IMMEDIATELY.+*

  • TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

    Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

    That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file.  First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
    Click to view full size
    If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
