    Default Lost Contacts

    my friend has a iPhone 3G and it works fine but when he connected it to his computer (his computer is messed up with several viruses) Well when he connected to itunes some how it restored it and it didnt back up his contacts. So i was wondering if there is a way to somehow get the contacts back.

    thanks in advance

    In order to sync contacts to your phone you have to use something like Windows Address Book. It comes on all Windows. Look at it on his computer. The addresses in that program are the ones that sync to and from the iPhone.

    Also you can right click your iPhone inside of iTunes(it will be listed on the left hand side once connected)...select restore from back up and his backups are listed there. Maybe he has one left over from before his last sync.
