How to Restore Your iPhone From a Backup

There are  a few cases in which being able to restore your iPhone can be a valuable thing to know. Take for example, if your iPhone was stolen, or you accidentally deleted a funny video off of your iPhone, or maybe you even accidentally erased the whole iPhone!  Either way,  it is pretty easy to restore your iPhone to its previous state provided that you made a backup (to learn how to create a backup see here).

Restore Your iPhone from a Backup

 

The First thing you’ll need to do is to plug your iPhone into the computer with your backup on it and turn on iTunes.

 

Secondly, in iTunes, under devices, find your iPhone.

 

Right click on this iPhone and click “Restore from Backup”.

 

Select the proper backup from the selection of previous backups and click ok.

 

iTunes will go through and restore your iPhone so that it is the exact state of your old iPhone.

 

 

Enjoy!
