My kids deleted all my contacts except the 3 most recent. Anyway to get them back??

Somehow my kids managed to delete all of my contacts except the 3 most recent ones. I am pretty sure they didn't go into each one and deleted them since there were more than 100. And I have no idea how only the 3 most recently added ones were kept (my kids can't read yet and the names are not alphabetical). I have an iPod Touch. I do not use a mac. I have synced it and tried to restore it to no avail. Where could they have gone?
The only thing that I found was they placed a picture in one of the contacts that they made on the Elmo Monster Maker app.
Thanks!! Really don't want to input them all again.
Also - if I end up having to enter them all again, can someone tell me how to back them up or protect them so they cannot be altered?

I was going to tell you to connect your iPod to your PC and restore from your latest backup. iTunes will make a backup of your device before each sync, so your backup would be as recent as your previous backup. The problem with that is that you've over-written your good backup by performing several sync's before posting here. Now it looks like you probably get to re-enter your contacts manually, or restore your PC from it's most recent backup...

HT204053 I turned on cloud to back up my contacts and it erased all my contacts except A and B, how do I get them back?

I turned on the cloud to back up my notes, calendar, contacts etc. When I turned on contacts it asked if I wanted to merge, which to me means combine, but when I went back to my contacts all of the A contacts and B contacts were there, but nothing else. How do I get them back.

Sorry but I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. You seem to be indicating that you have an iCloud backup as well as a backup on your computer but it isn't clear to me what you are trying to do with them. Can you explain this?

If you restored from backup all the photos in your camera roll that were in the backp should be restored to our iPod. However, photos that are synced to the iPod are not in the backup. You will have to resyc them to the iPod. If the synced photos are no longer on the computer then the photos are lost.

I have deleted all of my calendar events on my iphone4s can I get them back

I have deleted all of my calendar events on my iphone4s. Can I get them back?

Check your calendar on icloud.com from your computer. If the events are still there, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a few seconds turn Calendars back to On.
If the events are not in your calendar on icloud.com, you could try restoring to your last backup. This may recover them (although it isn't clear from Apple's documentation that calendar events are included in the backup).

Greatful for help.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.
Have you failed to use the device as designed?

Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

I updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.
