Resetting IPhone is like reformatting your computer. Therefore after resetting, it will erase the contents and files or programs that you have stored in it. It needs to be done when your IPhone crashes out so you don’t have to be scared or get rattled and worry of sending it back to the Apple service center or hire a technician to do it for you. The steps of resetting the IPhone are just straight-forward as enumerated below:
1. Make sure that your IPhone is connected to the computer using USB 2.0 port and internet.
2. Run iTunes program as a utility for restoring it. If you don’t have any ITunes program, download it from the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download.
3. Press Home and Power (sleep/wake button) buttons of your IPhone for 10 seconds. Once the screen is off and an Apple logo appears, release Prower button and continue pressing Home button while Apple icon appears until it shows a message “Connect to iTunes”. Then your IPhone is now ready for recovery.
4. Close iTunes and restart it again and the IPhone Icon in the ITunes program will appear at the left side menu.
5. Click the IPhone Icon and a menu will appear to restore it.
6. Click Restore and a downloading task will appear (it will download all the files around 162MB for the recovery from Apple server). Once the downloading is done, it will automatically restore all the IPhone base applications and your IPhone is ready for use.
Hope that this post will help you but the author is not liable for any breakdown of your IPhone. Any mistakes in my procedure, kindly send some comments below.
