) application (game) from the device or it happened by accident, there is no need to worry about this - you can still return it. Moreover, you can restore both the program or game itself, and all the data that was created by the application during the process of your work with it. And this is very cool! After all, no one wants, for example, to start the game again when they have already reached a certain level in it. If you don’t want to, you don’t need to! Let's learn how to completely restore deleted games and applications on iPhone and iPad, let's go!

Before you begin, you must remember that all manipulations are performed under one Apple ID account. That is, if you once installed applications under one account, and now want to return them back from another, then nothing will work. A banal thing, but you never know...

Now we're definitely starting!

How to restore a previously deleted program on iPhone and iPad

You can perform this action either directly from the device or using iTunes. Please note that you can return absolutely any application or game in this way:

  1. If it was paid, you do not need to pay again.
  2. Even if it has already been removed from the App Store, everything will still be restored.

How to do it? There are two ways...

Directly from the device

In order to make a return using your gadget, follow these steps on it sequentially:

  1. Find the App Store icon on your desktop and launch the store.
  2. In the lower right corner, click on the “Updates” icon.
  3. Next, select “Purchases” at the top.
  4. We look for what needs to be downloaded again and click on the “Cloud with an arrow” icon.

We wait a certain amount of time and that’s it! A previously deleted application or game is back on your device.

Using iTunes

You can also use iTunes for these purposes. Which will be useful if there is no access to a Wi-Fi network, and the volume of the application is large enough to download it via a mobile network. And although we are at 100 megabytes, we don’t always want to spend extra money. And with a large number of previously downloaded applications, searching for the one that needs to be restored is much easier through iTunes.

How to do it:


That's it, the application is back. However, when you enter the program, you see that it is “empty” and there is no data. And the game starts from the very beginning without any saves. And this, naturally, is a little different from what we were striving for. That's why we move on...

How to return all data from deleted games and applications to iPhone and iPad

Here a lot depends on where this data and saves were saved previously - two options are possible:

  1. On developer servers - especially important for games.
  2. In iCloud.

In the first case, everything is quite simple and elementary. When starting the game, you will need to enter the username and password with which you played earlier. By doing this, all achievements, results and progress achieved during the game will be loaded.

Now about iCloud. In theory, all data should also be automatically “pulled up” from the cloud immediately after installing the application. However, this may not happen. Why? There are two reasons:

By the way, many people use the gaming service from Apple - and achieve good achievements there. It would be a shame to lose them! To restore Game Center results, just log into it using your account. You can do this by going to Settings – Game Center and specifying your Apple ID there.

The best way to restore programs in iOS!

The most reliable and proven way is to do it. Using a computer or iCloud – it doesn’t matter!

After this procedure, absolutely all applications and games that were available at the time of its creation will be returned to the iPhone (iPad).

The only point is that these same copies must have been made at some point, otherwise there will be nothing to restore from. But for those who are in iCloud, such problems should not exist - after all, they are created almost every day.

P.S. Do you have any questions? Write in the comments and like! Click on the social network buttons, each “+1” is another successfully restored program on your iPhone or iPad. Try!

If you have finally decided to sell your iPhone or are experiencing some difficulties with the firmware, then you will definitely find this instruction in which I described how to reset iPhone to factory settings. As a result of the reset, the latest version of iOS will be installed on your device. All data from the iPhone will be deleted.

I often advise my friends and readers on the site to reset their iPhone in situations when the device starts to glitch or work slowly. The same steps must be taken before selling your iPhone.

You can reset your iPhone either using a computer or on the iOS device itself. Therefore, we will divide our lesson into two parts according to your choice.

How to reset iPhone using a computer

If for some reason you cannot enter iPhone Settings (firmware crashed, iCloud Activation Lock, you forgot the numeric unlock password, etc.), then the best way to reset your iPhone is DFU mode. Use this one for iPhone 4s – 7, or this one for iPhone X – 8.

If everything is OK with the iPhone, follow the steps below:

STEP 1 - If you value the data on your iPhone (iPad), then be sure to do so before proceeding to the next step.

STEP 2 - Connect your iPhone with a cable to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on the device icon (see picture below):

STEP 3 - Click the Restore iPhone... button on the right side of the screen. If you see the message “ You need to turn off Find My iPhone before...“, turn it off in Settings phone number here: Settings > iCloud > Find iPhone.

To disable this feature, you will need your Apple ID password. This is done so that no one other than the last owner can clean this device, for example in the event of theft by intruders (not).


STEP 4 - After disabling the Find My iPhone feature, confirm your intentions by clicking on the Restore and Update button.


STEP 5 - The latest version of iOS will be downloaded from the Internet and then installed on your iPhone. All personal data will be deleted.

STEP 6 - The next time you turn on your iOS device, you will be asked to set it up as new or restore it from a backup.

STEP 7 - The described procedure for resetting an iOS device does not unlink it from your account. To ensure that the restored device is no longer registered with your Apple ID account, go to icloud.com under your Apple ID and delete the required device in the section Find iPhone.

How to erase content and settings from iPhone

If you have access to the menu of an iPhone that needs to be reset to a new state, the method below will work for you. To complete the following steps, you do NOT need a computer with a cable or iTunes. All the necessary functionality is already included in iOS Settings.

STEP 1 - Since we will be doing a complete wipe of the iPhone, make sure that there is no important data left on it. As in the first part, if necessary, create a backup copy of the iPhone.

STEP 2 - Make sure Find My iPhone is disabled: Settings > iCloud > Find iPhone.

STEP 3 - Now go to Settings > General > Reset and click Erase content and settings. Confirm your desire to “Erase iPhone”.

STEP 4 - All personal information and iPhone settings will be deleted. The iOS version will remain the same as before the reset was performed.

Can't reset iPhone

Both methods above assume that your iPhone is in working condition, i.e. recognized in iTunes or you can go to your phone's settings. What to do if your phone is frozen or none of the above methods allows you to restore your iPhone?

First of all . If the reboot does not work, use the instructions for restoring iPhone firmware in DFU mode (links above).

There is another way to restore your address book, here you do not need a computer or third-party programs, even iTunes with iCloud will remain aside. Copy the contact information from your best friend; you probably have a lot of mutual friends.

In this guide, I will tell you how to recover deleted photos on iPhone, get back videos, SMS and contacts. This can be not only numbers, contacts, travel photos, but also important passwords from iTunes accounts, iStore, messages and other information deleted from the iPhone.

To perform a high-quality iPhone restoration, you need a Mac OS operating system and an iOS phone. We will look at several effective recovery methods from an iPhone by scanning a memory card or internal memory of an Apple gadget. Some methods of returning data on an iPhone will require the mandatory use of recovery programs (we will also talk about them), other methods are very simple and even primitive: you just have to look for the lost information in the correct folder on the iPhone.

It should be noted, however, that there is no 100% guarantee that the described methods for restoring photos and videos on iPhone will work in your situation. However, this is at least an attempt to solve the problem yourself and for free, without outside help from recovery specialists.

The best programs for photo recovery on iPhone and iOS

In general, there isn't as much software available for the iPhone as there is for desktop operating systems like Windows and Mac OS. However, in this review I would like to mention a few quality programs that are often mentioned in articles on how to restore an iPhone (and for good reason!). In this regard, let's look at the utilities for Mac OS (functionality and specific application):

You can try SmartPhone Recovery for free in the trial version, which allows you to detect deleted contacts and SMS messages on your phone without the help of iTunes. After scanning the disk or RAM, you can view the search results on your iPhone. However, it is quite difficult to restore messages and some of your contacts due to the limitations of the trial version of the product.

The following types of data are supported:

  • Messages (including deleted SMS, iMessages)
  • Contacts
  • Call history
  • iCalendar Notes and Calendar Data

Instructions: Recover iPhone contacts from iTunes backup

Step 1: Scan the backup file with contacts and messages

Note: To prevent backup files from overwriting your current iPhone contacts, please do not connect or sync your iPhone to iTunes after you have lost your contacts or deleted SMS messages on your iPhone.

Subtotals

I hope you learned from this guide how to restore your iPhone model. Perhaps later I will tell you how to recover iPhone 4/5/6 from icloud, including messages, contacts, photos. In any case, I advise you to try three recovery programs yourself: SmartPhone Recovery PRO, PhotoRec and Coolmuster Data Recovery.

I tried several desktop applications for iPhone recovery, including Stellar Phoenix Mac Recovery, but the photo recovery program, PhotoRec from CG Security, did the job best. This program is free and multi-platform (there are cross-platform distributions for Mac and Windows). The PhotoRec recovery utility is easy to learn, but I will comment on the steps to recover data using this tool so that the entire recovery process is clear to all readers.

For my tests, I used a MacBook Air running the X Yosemite operating system. For Windows, I recommend using the Recuva file reconstructor (- in Russian). This program also has an excellent user-friendly interface.

  • Step 1: Connect your iPhone memory card to your computer via the built-in or external card reader.
  • Step 2: Launch PhotoRec and enter the Mac OS password if required to authorize the user and proceed with further reconstruction steps.
  • Step 3: Use the navigation arrows to select a memory card from the list. It may be designated by a letter or by the name of the storage device. To check, compare the size of disk space on it to be sure that data recovery procedures are performed on the source where it is needed. For example, an 8 GB Samsung SD card - in my case. Once you are sure that the source for recovery is selected, press Enter.
  • Step 4: On the next screen, select the option to read FAT32 by pressing Enter, and select Other, press Enter again.
  • Step 5. At the next stage, you will be offered 2 options to choose from: Free or All. Select All if you only need to recover deleted files. However, if you are convinced that the memory card has been damaged, select All.
  • Step 6. At this point, you will be asked to select where you want to save the recovered files. You can create a new folder on your desktop or save pictures in the Pictures folder, for example. Use the navigation keys to select an option from the list, then press the C key to confirm. PhotoRec will begin the process of recreating the deleted information on the specified media.

Depending on how many files are stored on the memory card, the process of searching for deleted files can take a certain and very long time. PhotoRec allows you to return 168 photos from a digital camera to a memory card, and this operation takes a quarter of an hour. The application provides time until completion, and in real time shows the list, number and types of files found that have disappeared on the storage source, that is, the sd memory card.

How to recover photos on iPhone

With the release of iOS 8, Apple developers have made the process of restoring photos on iPhone more humane. You need to follow the steps below to get your missing, erased files back. So, how to recover deleted photos from iPhone?

  • Step 1. Go to your iPhone's Photos app and click on the album in the bottom panel.
  • Step 2. Scroll down the list and click the Recently Deleted button. As the name suggests, here you can find an album or recently deleted photos and videos.
  • Step 3. Having discovered missing, erased pictures, photos, images, simply click on the individual file and click the Recover button in the photo album or Delete if you want to delete the item permanently.

The Recently Deleted section shows only photos that have been deleted in the last 30 days. After this time, the information is destroyed without a trace and it is not possible to restore photos on the iPhone.

How to restore an iPhone from an iTunes backup file?

If you are looking for photos that are older than 30 days, you will need to restore your iPhone from old backups using the well-known universal iTunes application for Mac OS (you did regular backups of your iPhone data, right?).

Recovering photos on an Android smartphone or tablet

If your OS device has a microSD slot and you've stored photos and videos on a memory card, you'll need a recovery suite like the aforementioned PhotoRec recovery app to recover lost photos and other missing directories and their attachments.

Alternatively, try the Tenorshare Data Recovery desktop application, which is available for Windows and Mac. The application scans Android, looks for erased files on it, and to restore it, you only need to follow a few simple steps. Another utility that restores lost data quite efficiently is called Wondershare’s Dr. Fone for Android.

So how to use this application?

  • Step 1. Make sure that the debugging function is enabled on Android OS. If we talk about Android 5.0, these parameters can be found in the Settings > About phone > Build number section. Click on the firmware version several times and a message will appear: “You are now a developer!” Go back to general settings, select Developer options, enable USB debugging.
  • Step 2. After launching Wondershare's Dr. Fone for Android, connect your smartphone to your computer via USB, select Multimedia/Mobile Device from the main menu.
  • Step 3. In the next step, select your device for scanning files (here you are guided by the volume of the information storage source) and then click Start.
  • Step 4. Once the scan is completed, you can see the files that can be recovered through the context menu on the left side of the recovery program. Then, by clicking the Recovery button after selecting an item, the files will be saved where you specify.

I hope that at least one of the methods will help you get back lost, erased, deleted information on your iPhone or smartphone. If not…. then you need to turn to professionals who recover data using other methods, but in laboratory conditions and for decent money.
