how do you sync for option to undo deletes?

i'm trying to remember how i did. when i went to accounts & sync off settings, hit google and then sync contacts...there was an option that i got but i can't remember how i got it. i think it came up when i got the 'contacts deletes' msg. a popup gave 3 options and undo deletes were one of them, chose it, then it worked. i'm trying to recreate the steps but it won't do it now. sorry i cant help.

all mine came back automatically, it just took flippin forever for them too. thanks anyways, but anyway i heard because of googles "cloud" it will automatically reinstall all contacts, just takes a couple of very long hours to restore

After my upgrade, all my phone contact numbers were there, but everyone's name showed as (unknown). After 12 hours, from my home screen, I went to settings --> Accounts & Sync --> sync now. This resolved it. Maybe this is intuitive to some, but not me.

I have been trying to sinc as my contacts were deleted but it says synch is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. That's been the message for over a day now. Any suggestions?
