Got to get that restarting issue fixed first.....before you can do anything else.


90% + of the time, that restarting issue is a hardware issue, so you'll need to make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop to have the battery checked and tested and have any needed repairs completed.


You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link: Find Locations


When the phone has been repaired......then......you can set up the phone again to restore data using a recent iCloud backup or recent backup on your Mac or PC.

I just read the article about what could make your iPhone or iPad no kind of restart during data recovery I talked about battery levels. Need to replace the battery or different times of the day during clean energy or optimal times to charge your phone or give you suggestions for optimal battery performance


Good point. A battery whose health is greatly diminished can cause this problem.
