my dumb mistake

[harborgirl]

Somehow when syncing my ipad with my imac or when syncing via mobileme I dumped my contacts/address book. Time machine does not have a copy. Is there any way i can recover my contacts?

Check your previous backup on iTunes.. Go to iTunes preferences then locate devices and you should see your old backup.

Thank you - I appreciate your help. iTunes was not showing me any older backups (just my most recent that didn't have my contacts) but I did go back in time machine to find old ipad back ups and I did recover all my info. That was scary!

Where are iPad backups located in the Time Machine backup?

other than regular backups, there's a great app called MCBackup that also separately backs your contacts up readily to share with whatever device you like.

I'm sure they are happy to know that 6 years later.

Probably a spambot raised the thread, the mods deleted the spam but the thread remained at the top of the recent threads list.
