Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iTunes on PC
You can use iTunes to reinstall the software on your device and restore it to its default settings. You might need to do this if you’re having problems with the device (for example, if it freezes or stops responding frequently) of if you’re getting ready to sell it or give it away.
Important: Restoring software on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch deletes all your information and settings. However, iTunes backs up your device before restoring it, so you can use the backup to restore your device to how it was when you last used it. See Back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
