You'll want to copy a backed up Outlook Identity to your desktop so you can individually restore your contacts to your existing Outlook Identity that doesn't have contacts. Go into the Time Machine backups to a date before all of this happened. Assuming your contacts are just gone and no longer on the exchange server. All of this is from memory from using Outlook on Windows, but read on. I attempted to open Outlook and open time machine, but it immediately takes me to finder and won't let me look at past Outlook backups.įirst off, I don't run Outlook for Mac. In what file can I find my Outlook contacts from time machine? My "Address Book" doesn't have my most recent contacts in it so I can't export it and import it like I saw many others do. However, I no longer have any contacts in Outlook or on my iPhone and iPad. I ran migration assistant to import all of my time machine data and thought it went fine. In a 9 hour period and 6 senior representatives later, I had to completely wipe my drive, reinstall Snow Leopard, install the updates, and install Lion again, which went fine the 2nd round. 1 Apple Care representative said that I need to take my MBP in for a new hard drive, but I knew there was nothing wrong with it since it was working beautifully on Snow Leopard. I don't remember the exact issue it stated. I attempted to upgrade to Lion on release day, but ran into an issue where the installer said that my hard drive was broken and couldn't be repaired. Let me give you some background on my issue before I blatantly ask a question that should and hopefully be answered easily.
