How to restore my Apple iPhone 5S
- You can use iTunes to restore your Apple iPhone 5S from a previous backup.
Note: Restoring from backup is different from performing a full software restore. Restoring from backup restores the settings, data and other information saved in a previous backup. Performing a full software restore will delete the contents of your device and restore it to the original factory settings.

- 4. Wait while the backup is restored.
- 5. Click OK.
- 6. Wait while the Apple iPhone 5S is synced.
- 7. The restoration is complete and the Apple iPhone 5S can be disconnected from the computer.
