Where is your backup? iCloud / iTunes?
Restore your device from an iTunes backup
- Open iTunes on the Mac or PC that you used to back up your device.
- Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.* If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps. If you forgot your passcode, get help.
- Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. If your device doesn't appear in iTunes, learn what to do.
- Select Restore Backup in iTunes. If a message says that your iOS device's software is too old, learn what to do.
- Look at the date and size of each backup and pick the most relevant.
- Click Restore and wait for the restore time to finish. If asked, enter the password for your encrypted backup.
- Keep your device connected after it restarts and wait for it to sync with your computer. You can disconnect after the sync finishes.
