If Something Goes Wrong
If for any reason you want to revert your iDevice to its factory defaults, we can always perform an iTunes restore. Please make sure you have a fresh sync and backup on hand before you undertake this procedure so you don't lose your settings and user data.
To perform an iTunes restore, follow these steps:
- Put your iDevice in recovery mode. Excellent instructions for performing this action can be found on the Apple Support Web site.
- After a short pause, your iDevice will display the Connect to iTunes screen, as shown in Figure 8.
- Now let's hop over to our host computer and examine iTunes. You should see the message box shown in Figure 9 that informs us that our iDevice is now in recovery mode.
- Make sure your device is selected in the iTunes Devices list. Next, click Restore (see Figure 10).
- We are prompted by iTunes to confirm that we want to (a) wipe the device's hard drive; (b) install the latest version of the iOS firmware; and (c) restore settings and user data from backup. To continue, click Restore and Update (see Figure 11).
