I deleted the contacts from my sim and accidently deleted them from my phone. I had them all backed up to outlook, but when i synced it to outlook it erased them from outlook also. Is there a way to undo the delete? I have not made a sprite backup. Can anyone help me get these contacts back?
Also i checked the archived and deleted folders and got some of them back but not all.
Sounds like you had it set sync outlook to whats on you phone (witch on this case was nothing). I've done this before. Usually I edit and add contacts to my phone and have Outlook sync to my phone. BUT if you erase the contacts on you phone be sure to set it so you phone syncs to Outlook.
I'm afraid you are out of luck. You going to have to do it manualy unless someone knows another way, but I don't think so...
Sorry, I know how fustrating it is.
This actually hapened to me the other day.
I was able to recover my contacts from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook [2003]. Try looking there. This depends a lot on your Outlook deletion settings...
Just an idea.

Yea I did but, my settings in outlook we're not correctly set to archive my contacts. Oh yea i had recently upgraded to the tilt from the blackjack II and had all my contacts stored on the blackjack II as well but when i plugged it into outlook it wiped them out too. I did upgrade to office 07 but still no luck.
Check your trash if you did not erase the trash bin your contacts will be in there...otherwise your contacts are gone

ive searched and cant find the answer to my question. anyway how can i retrieve deleted contacts? for some reason my contacts were deleted so i tried to sync with outlook and copy contacts from outlook but now those are gone too. please tell me there is a way to retrieve them.
Did you do a backup recently? If you have a backup you'll be okay. If not, well maybe someone else can help ya.
As far as I know once they are gone there's no way to bring they back. Next time get PPCPimBackup. Keep it on your storage card in a folder marked backup. It backs up contacts, calendars, and other info onto your memory card. so if you lose everything you can restore it immediately.
Actually if he did a sprite back up with the contacts on his phone he'll be okay. Otherwise you can go into xp & do a system restore. You'll be okay. Just slow down & be patient. I'm sure you either have a ppc back up with the cotacts or XP system restore enabled, right?
i did not do a backup recently. i usually just sync with outlook to have another copy of my contacts. i can try to xp system restore. did not think of that. thanks.
No problem. Yeah, it's a pain & I had to sys restore from losing them a few yrs ago w/ Wireless Sync. Just make sure your device doesn't overide your desktop after you sys.m restore or you'll come full circle.

i did a system restore and my contacts do not come back.
check yr outlook's "deleted items", there could be a copy over there.
thanks everyone. i found a copy of the outlook archive on a flash drive i used to transfer info between work, school, and home. got most of my contacts back. now i guess my question is switch between phones for big parties to avoid losing or breaking my tilt so i copy my contacts to the sim. how do i get it to copy in the same format as in outlook? ex. in outlook the names are filed as first and last but when its copied to the sim its filed as last and first.
I usually find items deleted during synchronization in the Deleted Items folder.
Gosh! You've replied to a thread which has died seven years ago, dealing with active sync/outlook.
Wonder if the hint you've given will be any remedy here at all

Hi folks!
A friend of mine (really *g* - i keep making backups) managed "somehow" (of course he did nothing, just wanted to delete some double contacts on the sim card via sim_mgr) to purge all his contacts on his Kaiser -> and clever thing: after sync they are gone now on outlook too.
Now the question: Any ideas how to recover them?
There is NO exchange server in the back so activating the registryhack for the hidden "Recover Deleted Items" item in the "Extras" menu does not help.
There is no "damaged" *.pst file, so most of the "recovery tools for outlook" wont work as they adress only this kind of problem.
Standard file recovery tools (getdata back, rstudio etc.) wont work too, because the related pst file is not deleted - just parts of it. So the file remains on the same physical space on the harddisc and forensic tools wont help too.
Any other idea to get to the lost / deleted contacts either on the PC or PDA side?
Regards, Licht
(PS: I guess from now on he will use Spritebackup as told *g*)

Dunno about you, but when my Contacts on Outlook get deleted, they end up in my default PST file's "Deleted Items" folder, ready to be copied/moved back to the Outlook Contacts folder when I need it.
Unless, of course, I purged the Deleted Items folder as well, in which case, I'd be screwed.
Backup, backup... and backup.

Maybe the chap had some kind of "purge Deleted Items on Exit" setting set up?
In any case, methinks it's likely your friend may have to re-build his Contacts.
My own backup routine:
1. My Kaiser? every night
2. My PST file? I make a PST backup of my Contacts folder alone every time I make major changes/additions to my contact list (which is probably at least once a week). And I'll keep a zipped up copy on my thumbdrive or email it to my gmail account.
Quite paranoid about it, actually. About a thousand contacts, mostly business-related.

Paranoia is GOOOOD... I backup mine to my work laptop, 2 separate drives on my home desktop and also my home laptop. I've only ever lost important data once (in 1992) and once is enough.
Hello,
in an attemp to syncronize my htc tytn II with outlook 2007, I ran into a problem 80510014 saying something about profile mismatching.
After several atemps, I ended up in deleting my profile on my mobile device, hoping that it only deletes the setting.
Uffff, after a few seconds ...I had lost my contacts and everything else.
is there a method i could restore my contacts ??
thank you.
are the contacts on your computer/outlook?
forgot to mention, contact were not sincronized due to that error
main question here is: is there an option to un-delete the contacts once they were deleted by removing the profile ?
i believe once u've deleted off the phone its not possible to get it back...unless u used pim to backup before hand? i accidently did that as well because my AS did not work so i had to delete the partnership or whatever and it deleted all the contacts/appointments on my phone...but because i sync it everyday i have everything on my laptop so i just had to sync it back
So I had all contacts on the sim copied to the phone.
Which meant I had everybody in my contact list twice.
I thought I'd solve this so yesterday I updated my outlook contact list and made it nice and clean.
I assumed the phone would just update with the new data from outlook and I deleted all numbers from my phone (oops), it appears the phone has the 'leading' contacts list so now it deleted all my outlook contacts as well.
Is there any way to restore this data or do I have to find all the numbers again and put them in the phone again so that I don't lose it all again when syncing?
Grtz!

OOPS indeed! If you delete everything on your SIM and delete everything on your phone and then sync with your PC (which hopefully has ALL your contacts still), then the PC will put everything back on your phone. I always delete all contacts on my SIM. I don't see the point in having any contacts there. After all, all contacts/appointments etc. are always backed up on the PC. It may be worth backing up whatever is left on your phone with PIM backup or similar first though.
Good luck.
I'm screwed, I can't believe this happened. I reformatted my PC. Installed fresh and clean version of Outlook. Installed MS ActiveSync. The very FIRST thing I did was set the ActiveSync options to have the PHONE replace OUTLOOK, thinking this will put all my contacts, calendar appointments, etc back in outlook. For some unexplained reason, that setting was ignored, and when I synced it, it deleted everything from my phone. A years+ worth of information I can't get back. So my question is:
Is there any way to recover all my lost phone numbers, appointments, etc? Or am I really SOL? I'm praying perhaps there's some file recoverable file on the phone or... I don't know. Help!
go to the recently deleted folder or something like that on outlook - this happened to me and luckily they were all in a deleted folder on outlook on my pc so check there
It was a fresh install of windows, and thus a fresh install of outlook. It was because outlook was completely 100% empty, that it erased (overwrote) everything I had on my phone when it synced. Hence there is nothing in the deleted folder...
ugh, I've done this by accident myself...
This doesnt help you now..
but it will help you from doing it again.

Did u make a backup somewhere else, like PPCPIMBackup or Microsoft MyPhone?
I don't think you can get the data back...
But I don't know why it delete your data. I reinstall my PC many time, and when I sync with my X1, the outlook copy data from phone, it doesn't delete anything.
Poor you....

Yeah, so did I, so I was shocked that the setting "Replace Outlook data with phone content" didn't take. Backup in spades and don't make the same mistake I did. I'm still crying from what I lost
