Could someone help this. I had backups and contacts, I make backup and upgrade iphone version and accidently update Itunes and delete previous backups now I have just an Iphone. HERE IS ANY CHANCE TO GET CONTACTS BACK? Maybe Apple keeping all previous data in their servers or somethink like this.

Apple doesn't keep your data on their servers. When you update iTunes, it doesn't delete your backups - they should still be there unless you manually deleted them.

What happens when you plug in the iPhone and click restore from backup? Do you get no options?

I agree with Alli. You should be able to dig deep and find the backups as it sounds like you haven't deleted it manually. Have you ever tried to using like a time vault where you can turn your computer back to the past, say a few days before the event happened?
