iPhone Recovery Mode Help

The screen on your iPhone indicates that it is in Recovery Mode. This happens when the phone encounters a problem during startup or if you put it into this mode to restore it.

Here’s what you can do:

Steps to Restore Your iPhone:

1. Connect the iPhone to a Computer:

   • Use a Lightning cable to connect your iPhone to a Mac or PC with iTunes (on Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (on macOS Catalina and later).

2. Open iTunes or Finder:

   • If you're using a Mac running macOS Catalina or later, open Finder.
   • For older macOS versions or Windows, open iTunes (ensure it's updated to the latest version).

3. Detect the Device:

   • The computer should detect your iPhone in Recovery Mode. A message will appear stating, "There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored."

4. Choose an Option:

   • Update: This will try to fix the issue without erasing your data.
   • Restore: This will erase all data and settings and install a fresh version of iOS.
   • Start with "Update." If that doesn't work, proceed with "Restore."

5. Follow On-Screen Instructions:

   • The process will download and install the required software (this might take some time depending on your internet connection).
   • If the process fails or gets stuck, disconnect the phone, force restart it, and try again.

6. Set Up the iPhone:

   • Once restored, set up your iPhone as new or restore it from a backup.
