iTunes provides a useful way to recover your device when you switch to a new iPhone, encounter iOS system problems, or need to erase and reinstall iOS. Based on your specific needs, you can perform a full backup restore, recover only specific items from your iTunes backup, or repair a problematic iPhone via recovery mode. This article will share in detail how to restore an iPhone from iTunes.

Part 1: Preparations Before Restoring iPhone from iTunes

Before restoring your iPhone from iTunes, you should first check the following preparations to avoid unnecessary issues:

• Install the latest official version of iTunes on Windows computers. For macOS Catalina and later versions, use Finder directly to perform all the same operations.
• Use an original or MFi-certified cable to ensure a stable connection.
• Ensure a stable computer network and sufficient disk space. Do not disconnect from the network or put the computer to sleep or shut it down during the process.
• Temporarily disable the computer's firewall and antivirus software to prevent interference with device recognition and firmware verification processes.
• Make sure you have a backup available that contains your target data.
• Make sure your iPhone has enough battery.
• Remember the Apple ID account and password associated with the device. If you have enabled Find My, it will trigger the iCloud-aktiveringslås.

Part 3: How to Restore iPhone from iTunes Selectively

As mentioned above, when you restore an iPhone from an iTunes backup, iTunes will replace the current data on your iPhone with the previous backup data. This means you cannot choose specific files to restore, and any existing data may be overwritten by the backup version. However, in some cases, you may only want to recover a specific deleted photo, note, or message, instead of restoring the entire backup.
