    Hi Guys!

    I am just desperate. I synced my Nokia 6300 with Address Book and all about 450 contacts were transferred successfully. I used the iSync. In the meantime, I added some 50 more contacts to my cell phone Contacts and wanted to sync them with address book as well. So, I deleted all the existing 450 contacts from the Address Book on my Mac, hoping the next time I sync cellphone with computer, only the new 50 contacts will be transferred to Address Book. Here is what I ended up with: Address Book with only 50 new contacts and CELL PHONE with only 50 SAME contacts! All of the previous 450 contacts just disappeared from my cell phone! Just like that! I was wondering if there is any chance I can retrieve my contacts, it does not matter where to...either cell phone or Address Book on my Mac. Btw, I am using Leopard 10.5.8 and I have searched all over the web, everybody is mentioning some AddressBook.data.previous file but I cannot find it anywhere! I even created Automator ShowAllFiles Finder Plug in, the Addressbook.data.pevious just is not there.

    Is there any hope for my contacts or should I try to do something?

    Is there any way on earth I can retrieve my deleted (missing) contacts from my internal 6300 memory?


    ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    Thank you so much in advance,
    Matt

    With professional help you can retrieve files from any memory. When something is erased from a harddrive or any kind of memory, it isn't actually erased but only really dissappears when that "block" in the memory is replaced by new files.

    Dear Borr,
    Thank you for your quick feedback! This info from you is very valuable. Do you think that my chances of getting back my contacts are better if I focus on trying to retrieve them from my internal phone memory or mac itself?

    Again, any tip, advice or help is greatly appreciated!
    Best,
    Matt

    Hi Tomlija,

    The deleted contacts /data are not permanently deleted from the storage media, till the new data is not written on the same memory address. You have the chance to restore the lost contacts but this job can be only done by professionals recovery expert.

    It's till possible to get your deleted contacts back unless the data was not rewritten by other files. Some kind of data recovery software would help you out, however, it depends.

    if due to certain reasons as virus attack, hardware or software failure etc the saved important contacts can get recovered, just Google it. It's called "Lookout Mobile Security ", avalible on Google Play Store. It's a #1 rated free app that provides excellent services. Definitely worth checking out for peace of mind! But as I stated, check with your cell service provider first, then Google if you have an account with them. Best of luck and hope you get contact list restored. Other solution is try Android Data Recovery program, which can retrieve deleted contacts from Android phone. Android Data Recovery is a professional and user-friendly program which can restore data simply with a few clicks. Most file types are supported, including contacts, messages, WhatsApp, pictures, videos, audios and other documents. Also, it can be applied to most phones and tablets based on Android OS.
