I went in and deleted them all because I wanted to start new.. FAIL
THANK YOU! I got about 50 of them back from the contacts thing.. another 10-20 were regular friends that I can get there numbers within a day or two.. and the other 30 were old people I dont care about anymore..
probably
try using time machine to restore your comp to the way it was before you deleted your backups....
okay I got them all! I just had to find out where backups were stored
(/Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup)
restore the folder, and paste it in the current one.
First time I have ever needed time machine in a year and 1/2, and even though it was for such a small thing it makes it feel all worth while

i use time machine for two reasons
1: I actually need something i deleted.
2: To experiment on my computer, knowing that if something screws up, i can restore from backup. I use it once i week and its great
