Contact accidentally deleted on my Mac

Hello community,

I accidentally deleted all my contacts on my Mac, is there a way to recover?
What is strange, is that other devices (iPhone) I still have my contacts. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but without success so far.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Alexis

Hi, Alexis.

If you have deleted a PList which has kept in touch, I think that it can be restored from databases online when you log in again. But if you actually deleted contacts, which probably removed them from the database online as well.

A problem with the version of Skype Mac is that it does not provide an easy way to export your contacts to a file (from where you can import them later, after a potentially dangerous operation). But what you * can * do if you have a friend with a PC, for example, is log into your account and save your contacts to the file on the PC. Then you can connect to another account of yours, for example, and import your contacts (although they must be approved by each contact before you could use them with another account - I'm not sure it would work, but it would be interesting to try). In any case, you could save your contacts on the PC before risking their at least once again and bring them on the PC. They would then reappear on your Mac, databases online.

  • How can I recover an iMovie video after the accidental deletion of iMovie?

    Hi all

    I got a file from an old iPhone on my iMovie app and then accidentally deleted the application itself. How can I get the video?

    He is not on any backup so I'll need to find it on my Mac.

    Thank you

    The file itself should always be on the hard disk.

    If you know the name of the file, try to use Spotlight to find it.

    Click the magnifying glass icon top right of your screen type the file name.

    The basics of the Mac: Spotlight helps you find what you are looking for

    If you can't find this file name, try a format iMovie such as DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V

  • I accidentally deleted my boot partition

    I tried to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp but it failed and I had to start. I thought I had deleted the Bootcamp partition, but I accidentally deleted the main boot partition for Mac OS. When I try to start my Mac Apple logo appears for a while, then finally I do not see an entry sign.

    In an attempt to solve this problem, I started my Mac upward into recovery mode and reinstalled Mac OS on the partition that I created for the thought of Windows, I would be able to access my files and pass them to the new facility. Mac OS installed fine, but I now have a 800 GB partition, I can't access. He appears in disk utility, but I can not unlock or fix it.

    Question is, can I repair the boot partition and to come back to how I was before I screwed up?

    Or, is it possible to unlock the main so partition that I can access it from the new installation, back up everything can start all over again?

    What do you backup before you start this project?

  • Accidentally deleted system preferences!

    Hello, I accidentally deleted my system preferences and have read recently that I can order a new disc with my serial number, however... I didn't buy my new laptop. I bought a school that has been selling macbook air for cheap, so I would have no way to receive the disks that came with him or serial number. Please help me to recover the system preferences! Very bad with computers and have no other way to address this issue! Thank you! :))

    You can only restore it by reinstalling OS X. Doing that depends on which version of Mac OS X you have currently installed but you chose not to provide this information, or what exact model of the MBA you have.

  • Vista cannot start because of accidentally deleted system files

    Hello

    my laptop was working very well until some files were accidentally deleted and now Vista cannot start.
    There is a message saying that I need to contact the system administrator or the manufacturer of the pc.

    Is there anything you could recommend?
    I would appreciate if you could help me find a way to record all of the information contained in hard drives.

    see you soon

    If you are not able to boot up the laptop and refuse it to Vista to start then take recovery in hand, insert it and start on this CD from Toshiba.

    Then the cell phone should boot from the recovery CD and reinstall the whole OS again.
    This should help, but the HARD drive will be formatted.

  • I accidentally deleted a picture today on my iPhone 6

    I accidentally deleted a picture today on my iPhone 6

    On the iPhone Photos app itself in the 'Albums' tab, there is (should be) a folder named "recently deleted. If you go to this folder, all the photos you recently deleted should find. Select the photo that you have accidentally deleted, and then click 'Recover' in the bottom left of the screen.

    If you deleted it out of this folder, you can access it from your Photos app on a Mac device or on the website of iCloud. Have you connected your iPhone photo library to your iCloud account and it accessible from the site or a Mac?

  • I accidentally deleted iPhotos after installation of El Capitan and were not able to download or reinstall.

    I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app on my new mac after installation of El Capitan and are not available for download, except the updates, which obviously doesn't work. How can I get that back?

    You can probably not - most likely, you will need to switch to Photos (what would happen sooner or later anyway)

    Have you looked under purchases in the app store?  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    If it is not there you can try reinstalling iPhoto 11 of the original source and the upgrade to 9.6.1 but I doubt it will work

    Or you can try to restore your backup from just before you shape did this error

    Good luck

  • Windows 7 Home Premium accidentally deleted

    Nice day

    I use a Samsung 3 series laptop and I recently accidentally deleted my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I tried redownloading the file ISO - hoping that this product key in my laptop, like what I've read of answers.microsoft, is OK to reinstall from. Now, as I enter my product key, I am invited by

    The product key you have entered seems to be for software pre-installed by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery options.

    What is the best thing to do? Does this mean that I'm not able to reinstall Windows 7 using the product under my laptop key?

    Thank you very much

    Not at all.  Please request return to questions you need and let us know how it goes.  I'll look at the thread.

  • BB Phone email address accidentally deleted blackBerry smartphones

    So, I accidentally deleted my newly created since the phone itself BB email address.

    Can I add it using the BIS via the phone.  I tried to access BIS via the PC, but it seems to have forgotten the password.

    In somewhat Catch22-esque from his being sent to my phone :)

    Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

    Yes you can do it from the phone or the BIS Web site. You need to know the user name and password.

    If you do not know the password, select forgot password, and enter your username, it will send the password to your device via a PIN message. If you do not receive it, it means-u username was wrong.

    Contact your carrier for your username and/or the password be reset.
