OR - even better - how d o I find my account in the OUTLOOK tree...Thanks....

Hi - if you're synchronizing your iPhone with Exchange, you don't use iTunes at all. Are you using Exchange? If so, your admin will need to restore your data for you if it isn't available via deleted item recovery. Once you've set up your iPhone to sync with Exchange, iTunes shouldn't even try to sync anything, as it reads the config from the device. You might want to ask your IT folks to help you with your iphone setup. When you select Exchange for OTA syncing it wipes out any contacts/calendar data you've set on the iphone, and it will warn you before it does so.Lanwench [MVP - Exchange] ** Do not fold, spindle or mutilate.

Hi, I agree with Lanwench, you may need to ask your IT staff for help. Not sure how these contacts are deleted, if you used Outlook with Exchange mode, you can try to recovery them from dumpster: Recover deleted items from any folder http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011165281033.aspx Thanks, Elvis
