I have a nexus 5 and after my update i lost all my contacts that were synced to a msn account and its not allowing me to add the msn account as its not a "google" account..does anyone know how I can get them back?! Thank you !

Welcome to Android Central! How was the MSN account added to the phone before? Did you add it to the stock Email app? Is it still in the Email app? If not, try adding your MSN email account to stock Email, and see if the contacts come back
