I just edited and removed some old contacts off of my iPhone contacts list. Now, the next time I connect to iTunes and do a Sync, will it attempt to restore the old contacts? If so, how can I prevent that from happening? I don't want to waste time by having to go back and remove the old data again.

You can sync your Contacts either through MobileMe or iTunes, but don't do both unless you like lots of duplicates. Assuming you are syncing through iTunes, you can do your editing on either, but do your deletions only in the specific way below:
- before you begin the deletions, connect your iPhone and in iTunes select your device and go to the Info tab
- scroll to the bottom to Advanced and select Replace information on this iPhone with the note below:
"During the next sync only, iTunes will replace the selected information on this iPhone with the information on this computer."
- make your deletions on the Mac
- start a sync
So if you are editing your contacts on the phone and want to delete an entry, you should keep a list of them for the next time you connect and sync to your Mac.
