Iphone4 contacts

His morning I lost half my contacts!
How do I retrieve them?

Are you having a backup of your iPhone? If yes then restore your iPhone using one of your available backup files. Also if you have ever synced your contacts with iCloud, then turn on iCloud and all your contacts will be back.

Thanks for the reply!
Turns out I was in my msn contacts, once I switched to "all contacts", they were there.

• • 1 Open Address Book, Outlook, or whichever program you use to sync your iPhone with through iTunes.
    
    
    
  • 2 Scroll down to find the contacts or contact group you have lost. They will still be in these programs as long as you have not synced your iPod since you lost the contacts. At this point, you can manually re-enter the contact information if you like, or if you're not sure exactly which contacts you have lost, you can continue.
    
    
  • 3 Open iTunes and connect your iPhone to your computer. Wait until you see the iPhone icon appear in the left column of iTunes underneath the "Devices" category.
    
    
  • 4 "Ctrl + click" (right-click on Windows) on the iPhone icon and choose "Restore from Backup..." At this point, a dialogue box will open up asking you to select an "iPhone name." Here you will select one of your backups, which are performed each time you sync your iPhone in iTunes.
    
    
  • 5 Click "Restore." When the progress bar has completed, you can disconnect your iPhone, and your lost contacts will be in the "Contacts" portion of the phone.
