HOW TO RESCUE DATA FROM A WIPED IPHONE OR IPAD

If having erased the content of the phone you intend to keep using it, you can restore the content to your phone from your backup. Here's how:

Restore an iPhone or iPad via iCloud backup

With the factory reset completed you'll need to go through the setup of your iPhone again from the beginning:

Start up the iPhone and enter your details when prompted, including WiFi password, until you reach the page where you're asked how you want to 'Set Up iPhone'.
You now have three options: Set Up as a New iPhone, Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from iTunes backup - so select the iCloud option and you'll be prompted to enter your iCloud account details.

Once you've done this, and agreed to the terms and conditions, your iPhone will begin restoring all of your loss data.
Obviously this could take a while if you have large backups or a slow internet connection, so don't attempt this if you're in a hurry. When the backup is completed your iPhone will reboot, and then it will start the larger job of downloading all of your apps.

Restore an iPhone or iPad via iTunes backup

As with the iCloud instructions we've already outlined, follow the steps up to the 'Set Up iPhone' screen, then select Restore from iTunes.



  • You'll be prompted to Connect to iTunes, so plug in your iPhone and you'll see a screen on iTunes that gives you the option to restore a backup. Clicks continue and your iPhone will be set up automatically, with the apps being restored from the iTunes backup.


When it's finished, you'll have a freshly cleaned system. Hopefully any problems that you were encountering before will be a thing of the past.
