Hello there, Natasha.


When unable to restore your device, there are a few Knowledge Base articles that can help.


Since you've mentioned keeping your photos, I would like to recommend either making a backup of your iPhone or getting the photos off the iPhone first:


How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

and/or

Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support


Once you feel you have the content you need backed up to your liking, then this article will walk you trough the steps of restoring your iPhone as new, using iTunes:


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Use recovery mode

You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:

  • iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
  • You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
  • You see the Connect to iTunes screen.

Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.

To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off your device and leave it off.
  2. Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
  3. Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

  4. When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.

When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.

Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.



Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Kind Regards,
