您是否有需要重置或恢复的 iPhone？您是否需要执行出厂重置(factory reset)并清除所有内容，或者您是否只需要重置某些设置，因为手机正在运行？
或者您可能需要从 iTunes 备份或 iCloud 恢复您的 iPhone？此外，您可能只想对 iPhone 进行硬重置，这是解决冻结等问题的快速方法。
在本文中，我将向您介绍可以为您的 iPhone、iPad 或 iPod Touch执行的各种类型的重置、恢复和备份。
对于本文，我将使用 iOS 9 作为所有示例，因为它是目前最新版本的操作系统。如果在以后的版本中有任何变化，我一定会更新这篇文章。
备份 iPhone、iPad、iPod
在重置或恢复任何内容之前，您应该始终进行备份，以防万一您以后需要某些东西或(point or something)出现问题。我建议备份到 iCloud 和 iTunes。如果您在 iCloud 中没有足够的空间，那么只对 iTunes 进行本地备份就可以了。让我们从 iTunes 备份开始。
iTunes 备份
如果您将手机备份到 iCloud，则不再需要备份到 iTunes，但我发现每隔几个月创建一次本地备份仍然很有用。
iCloud 很棒，但它有很多小故障，可能会在你最需要它的时候导致它失败。另外，Apple的(Apple)5(whopping 5) GB 可用存储空间(storage space)实在是太吝啬了。你甚至不能用这么大的空间存储一个完整的 16 GB iPhone的备份，所以如果你不确定你的手机是否正确备份到 iCloud，一定要使用 iTunes。
打开 iTunes，连接您的Apple 设备(Apple device)，然后单击“立即备份” (Back Up Now )按钮。
执行此操作时，您会收到一条消息，询问您是否要加密备份。如果您选择不加密备份，那么您的健康数据、homekit 数据和保存的密码等敏感数据将不会存储在备份中。您也可以在备份前选中加密 iPhone 备份( Encrypt iPhone Backup)框，以确保备份已加密。
当您将未加密的备份恢复到手机时，您必须再次输入所有密码等。这就是为什么如果您曾经恢复过 iCloud 备份而不是正常的 iTunes 备份，您可能已经注意到您没有恢复后必须再次输入所有密码。
关于加密备份，您唯一需要记住的是您需要使用密码来加密备份。为了执行恢复，您需要相同的密码。如果您忘记了它，那么您将无法恢复该备份，因此请小心并将密码写入某处。
您可能还会收到一条消息，询问您是否要将购买的项目转移到您的 iTunes 资料库。您应该单击Transfer Purchase，否则您稍后去执行恢复时可能会丢失音乐、应用程序、铃声等。
另外，请注意，您可以将“自动备份选项(Automatically Backup Option)”设置为iCloud ，并每隔一段时间简单地执行手动本地备份。iCloud 应该自动备份您的手机，但您始终可以通过转到Settings、iCloud、Backup 然后点击Back Up Now来执行手动( Back Up Now)iCloud 备份(iCloud backup)。它还应该向您显示上次 iCloud 备份的日期和时间(date and time)。
现在您已经正确备份了设备，我们可以继续进行重置。有几种不同的方法可以重置Apple 设备(Apple device)，让我们来谈谈。
重置 iPhone、iPad、iPod
让我们首先谈谈硬重置，它实际上并不会删除任何数据或重置任何设置。硬重置是同时按住位于顶部或右侧的主页(Home)按钮（圆形按钮）和电源 按钮，直到手机重新启动。(Power )
如果您的设备运行不正常，这很有用，就像您必须重新启动 Windows PC 一样，因为它正在运行。硬重置后，可以选择重置手机上的各种设置。
点击设置(Settings)，转到常规(General)，一直滚动到底部，然后点击(bottom and tap)重置(Reset)。
大多数人最终使用的主要选项是重置所有设置(Reset All Settings)、删除所有内容和设置( Erase All Content and Settings)以及重置网络设置( Reset Network Settings)。
重置所有设置(Reset All Settings)- 这将重置“设置”应用程序下的所有设置(Settings)。这意味着您将丢失Wi-Fi 数据(Wi-Fi data)、蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接、请勿打扰(Disturb)设置、键盘设置、通知(Notifications)、壁纸(Wallpapers)、隐私(Privacy)设置等。
它不会(NOT)删除您的任何数据或应用程序。这意味着您的所有音乐、视频、照片、应用程序、iMessages、电子邮件帐户、日历等都将保留在手机上。当您重置所有设置时，您会收到一些警告，但请放心(t worry)，您的数据将是安全的。
重置网络设置(Reset Network Settings)- 此选项仅重置与您的 Wi-Fi 和LTE连接相关的任何内容。如果您遇到连接问题，这是一个不错的尝试选择。
擦除所有内容和设置(Erase All Content and Settings)- 这是恢复出厂设置的选项(factory reset option)，它将清除您 iPhone、iPad 或 iPod(iPad or iPod)上的所有内容。仅当您确定已备份所有内容并且想要将设备擦拭干净(device clean)以便将其提供给其他人或出售时，才使用此选项。
如果您有兴趣执行 iOS 的全新安装，也可以使用此选项。例如，如果您将手机从 iOS 7 升级到 iOS 8 再到 iOS 9，并且出现很多问题，您可以备份手机，擦除所有内容(erase everything)，然后从备份中恢复。请注意，如果您执行比最初安装的更高版本的 iOS 的全新安装，您将无法恢复备份。
例如，当iOS 10发布并且您在升级到iOS 10之前擦除您的 iPhone 时，您将无法恢复iOS 9备份，因为您的手机现在运行的是iOS 10。要在iOS 10 发布(iOS 10)时进行全新安装，您必须先升级，然后备份，然后擦除然后恢复。
请注意，要擦除手机，您必须先关闭“查找我的 iPhone”(Find My iPhone)。您可能还必须输入您的iCloud 密码(iCloud password)。然后您的手机将重新启动，一旦它被清除，您将看到Hello或Welcome 屏幕。
首先，您必须选择您的语言，然后是您的国家/地区，然后选择 Wi-Fi 网络，然后启用或禁用定位服务，然后根据需要添加密码，最后选择您希望如何设置手机。所以现在让我们谈谈恢复手机。
恢复 iPhone、iPad、iPod
将手机重置为出厂默认(factory default)设置后，系统会询问您要如何恢复它。请注意，您还可以使用 iTunes 恢复您的设备，而无需删除它，我将在下面进一步解释。
但是，如果您想从iCloud 备份(iCloud backup)中恢复，您始终必须完全擦除您的设备，如上图所示。这有点吓人，但这是恢复iCloud 备份(iCloud backup)的唯一方法。
在这里，您可以选择从 iCloud 备份(Restore from iCloud Backup)恢复、从 iTunes 备份恢复(Restore from iTunes Backup)、设置为新 iPhone( Setup Up as New iPhone)和从 Android 移动数据(Move Data from Android)。
如果您选择第一个选项，则需要输入您的Apple ID 和密码(Apple ID and password)，然后您将获得可用 iCloud 备份的列表。
如果选择第二个选项，则需要将计算机连接到 iTunes，然后在使用Apple ID(Apple ID)登录后，您会在计算机上看到可用备份的下拉列表。
设置为新 iPhone 就可以做到这一点，您将获得全新的 iOS 安装。您可以随时设置为新 iPhone，然后根据需要从 iTunes 备份中恢复。但是，一旦您设置为新 iPhone，您将无法从 iCloud 恢复。
最后，您可以从 iTunes 本身完成所有这些操作。连接后，您会看到“恢复备份( Restore Backup)”和“恢复手机( Restore Phone)”选项。
还原备份(Restore Backup)将允许您从存储在计算机上的本地备份中进行选择并进行还原(computer and restore)。它只会恢复数据和应用程序，而不是iPhone 固件(iPhone firmware)。
恢复 iPhone(Restore iPhone)更有趣，因为它可以根据您的选择以两种不同的方式工作。首先，它会询问您是否要创建备份。当然，这取决于你。
在此之后，您看到的对话框将取决于您的设备是否运行旧版本的 iOS。如果您没有最新版本的 iOS，那么您会看到一个选项恢复(Restore)或更新(Update)。如果您运行的是最新版本，您只会看到“恢复”(Restore)按钮。
恢复将执行与设备上的“(Restore)删除所有内容和设置”( Erase All Content and Settings)选项相同的功能。如果您单击更新(Update)，它只会将最新更新安装到您的手机上，就像您转到设置(Settings)、常规(General)、软件更新(Software Update)一样。您的数据将保持不变，iOS 只会更新。
所以你有它！您可以备份、重置或恢复Apple 设备(Apple device)的所有不同方式。希望(Hopefully)它能消除您对整个过程的任何困惑。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
How to Backup, Reset or Restore Your iPhone, iPad or iPod
Do you have an iPhone that you need to reset or restore? Dо you need to рerform a factorу reset and erase everything or do you just need to reset certain settings because the phone iѕ acting up?
Or maybe you need to restore your iPhone from an iTunes backup or from iCloud? Also, you might just want to perform a hard reset of your iPhone, which is a quick way to fix issues like freezes, etc.
In this article, I’m going to walk you through the various types of resets, restores and backups you can do for your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
For this article, I’m going to be using iOS 9 for all the examples as that is the latest version of the OS as of now. If anything changes in a later version, I’ll be sure to update this post.
Backup iPhone, iPad, iPod
Before you reset or restore anything, you should always make a backup just in case there is something you need at a later point or something goes wrong. I suggest making a backup to both iCloud and to iTunes. If you don’t have enough space in iCloud, then making just a local backup to iTunes will be fine. Let’s start with iTunes backups.
iTunes Backups
Backing up to iTunes is no longer really needed if you backup your phone to iCloud, but I have found that it’s still useful to create a local backup every couple of months.
iCloud is great, but it has a lot of glitches that can cause it to fail right when you need it the most. Plus, Apple is so miserly with their whopping 5 GB of free storage space. You can’t even store a single backup of a full 16 GB iPhone with that much space, so definitely use iTunes if you’re not sure if your phone is being properly backed up to iCloud.
Open iTunes, connect your Apple device and then click on the Back Up Now button.
When you do this, you’ll get a message asking if you want to encrypt the backup or not. If you choose not to encrypt the backup, then sensitive data like your health data, homekit data and saved passwords will not be stored in the backup. You can also just check the Encrypt iPhone Backup box before backing up to ensure the backup is encrypted.
When you restore an unencrypted backup to your phone, you’ll have to enter all your passwords again, etc. That’s why if you have ever restored an iCloud backup as opposed to a normal iTunes backup, you might have noticed that you don’t have to type in all your passwords again after the restore.
The only thing you have to remember about encrypted backups is that you will need to use a password to encrypt the backup. In order to perform a restore, you’ll need that same password. If you forget it, then you won’t be able to restore that backup, so be careful and keep the password written somewhere.
You might also get a message asking if you want to transfer purchases to your iTunes library. You should click Transfer Purchases, otherwise you might be missing music, apps, ringtones, etc. when you go to perform a restore later.
Also, note that you can leave the Automatically Backup Option set to iCloud and simply perform manual local backups every so often. iCloud should backup your phone automatically, but you can always perform a manual iCloud backup by going to Settings, iCloud, Backup and then tapping on Back Up Now. It should also show you the date and time of the last iCloud backup.
Now that you have your device properly backed up, we can go ahead and reset it. There are a couple of different ways to reset an Apple device, so let’s talk about that.
Reset iPhone, iPad, iPod
Let’s first talk about a hard reset, which doesn’t actually erase any data or reset any settings. A hard reset is when you press and hold the Home button (circle button) and the Power button located at the top or on the right at the same time until the phone restarts.
This is useful if your device is not behaving properly and is kind of like when you have to restart your Windows PC because it’s acting up. After a hard reset, there are the options to reset various settings on your phone.
Tap on Settings, go to General, scroll all the way to the bottom and tap on Reset.
The main options most people end up using are Reset All Settings, Erase All Content and Settings and Reset Network Settings.
Reset All Settings – This will reset all of the settings under the Settings app. This means you’ll lose Wi-Fi data, Bluetooth connections, Do Not Disturb settings, keyboard settings, Notifications, Wallpapers, Privacy settings, etc.
It will NOT remove any of your data or apps. This means all your music, videos, photos, apps, iMessages, email accounts, calendars, etc will remain on the phone. You’ll get some warnings when you go to reset all settings, but don’t worry, your data will be safe.
Reset Network Settings – This option just resets anything related to your Wi-Fi and LTE connections. If you’re having connections issues, this is a good option to try.
Erase All Content and Settings – This is the factory reset option that will wipe out everything on your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Only use this option if you are sure you have everything backed up and if you want to wipe the device clean in order to give it to someone else or sell it.
You can also use this option if you are interested in performing a clean install of iOS. For example, if you upgraded your phone from iOS 7 to iOS 8 to iOS 9 and it just has a lot of issues, you can backup the phone, erase everything and then restore from the backup. Note that if you perform a clean install of a higher version of iOS than what was originally installed, you won’t be able to restore the backup.
For example, when iOS 10 comes out and you erase your iPhone before upgrading to iOS 10, then you won’t be able to restore the iOS 9 backup since your phone is now running iOS 10. To do a clean install of iOS 10 when it comes out, you would have to upgrade first, then backup, then erase and then restore.
Note that in order to erase the phone, you’ll have to turn off Find My iPhone first. You’ll also probably have to enter your iCloud password too. Your phone will then restart and once it has been erased, you’ll see the Hello or Welcome screen.
First you’ll have to pick your language, then your country, then choose a Wi-Fi network, then enable or disable location services, then add a passcode if you like and finally choose how you want to setup the phone. So now let’s talk about restoring your phone.
Restore iPhone, iPad, iPod
After you reset your phone to factory default settings, you will be asked how you want to restore it. Note that you can also restore your device without having to erase it by using iTunes, which I’ll explain further below.
However, if you ever want to restore from an iCloud backup, you always have to erase your device completely like shown above. It’s a little scary, but that’s the only way to restore an iCloud backup.
Here you’ll have the option to choose from Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from iTunes Backup, Setup Up as New iPhone and Move Data from Android.
If you choose the first option, you’ll need to enter your Apple ID and password and then you’ll get a list of available iCloud backups.
If you choose the second option, you’ll need to connect your computer to iTunes and then you’ll see a drop-down list of available backups on the computer once you sign in with your Apple ID.
Setting up as a new iPhone will do exactly that and you’ll have a fresh install of iOS. You can always setup as a new iPhone and then restore from an iTunes backup later if you like. You won’t be able to restore from iCloud, though, once you set up as a new iPhone.
Finally, you can do all of this from iTunes itself. When connected, you’ll see the option to Restore Backup and Restore Phone.
Restore Backup will allow you to pick from a local backup stored on the computer and restore that. It will simply restore the data and apps and not the iPhone firmware.
Restore iPhone is more interesting because it can work in two different ways depending on what you choose. Firstly, it’ll ask you if you want to create a backup or not. This is up to you, of course.
After this, what dialog you see will depend on whether or not your device is running an older version of iOS or not. If you don’t have the latest version of iOS, then you’ll see an option either to Restore or to Update. If you are running the latest version, you’ll just see the Restore button.
Restore will perform the same function as the Erase All Content and Settings option on your device. If you click Update, it will simply install the latest update onto your phone, just like if you were to go to Settings, General, Software Update. Your data would remain intact, iOS would just get updated.
So there you have it! All the different ways you can backup, reset or restore your Apple device. Hopefully, it clears up any confusions you may have about the entire process. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
