• Could anybody help me, please! I have an iPhone
  4S and recently updated to iOS 8. I restored my
  iPhone with the iTunes backup, but the contacts
  keep missing randomly. Now I only get phone
  numbers without names and emails. Does anyone
  know how to work this problem out?
• The iPhone users have already updated iOS 8, and
  they will find the operating system will randomly
  erase the files in their devices. When they want
  to find the lost files back, for example,
  retrieving deleted contacts from iPhone 4S to
  Mac, they will find it difficult. Of course, they
  are able to restore their devices with the iTunes
  backup, but the device may erase the files again.

• Some iPhone users have no idea on how to restore
  their iPhone with the backup, and the following
  guidance will show you how to do that. But the
  iPhone users should notice that updating the
  iPhone backup after the files got lost isnt a
