how do you do a hard reset on an iphone 6 ?
iMac, iOS 5.1.1
a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.
a reset - deleting all data - settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings.

Second line ???
I meant to say restore.. I wasn't too sure what the OP wanted to do.
That is what I thought ,might confuse Phiippe even more 😉
Thanks but what happens is it does not reset but sends me back into iTunes where the initial software update (from 8 to 8.0.2) was somehow interrupted. As a result, it is inviting me to reconnect to iTunes, to do a restore, but the restore might be to the iPhone 4S that I had backed up before. In any case, when I do this, the initial back up process starts fine and then gets stuck at the same midway place as before, when it is trying to recognise the iPhone model.
Comes up with an Error (53) message.
The problem is that the restore process via iTunes gets interrupted midway and never completes. I have shut down iTunes, the iMac and so on, to repeat the same process and get the exact same result: stuck midway with Error (53) message. Do not what to do to get out of this loop.
I wonder if this is not because the previous backup was for the iPhone 4 on OS 7.1.2 ?
iOS does not support restoring a backup from a newer version of iOS to a device using an older version of iOS.
Example: Restoring a backup from an iOS 7 device to an iOS 6.x or earlier device is not supported.
So that shouldn't be the issue
Try just restoring as new and see if that works ,you can always add the backup later
Thanks but how do you restore as new when in fact iTunes does not give you the option except to "Restore the software" ... and then get stuck again mid point ?
Message is "Unknown recovery Error (53) occurred" just keeps coming up.
New Malden ,are you in UK
error 53 does not come up in Apple knowledge base
As it is a 6 take it to The nearest Apple Store genius bar if in UK Bentalls Centre
one last suggestion
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
thank you, will do
Hi, I get the same issue after trying to install IOS 8.1.1, Is there a fix for this?
EXACT same thing is happening to my new iPhone 6 which I just bought today. How did you resolve it?
