Hello, DIL629iip.


Restoring iPhone from a backup on Mac is pretty straightforward.

• Connect the iPhone to the Mac

• Select the iPhone in side bar of a Finder window. If iPhone doesn't display in the side bar, check Finder > Preferences > General tab and ensure that Show iOS Devices is checked.

• Select Restore Backup

• Select the appropriate dated backup

• Click Restore
