Short summary:
- Put your iPhone 7 Plus into Recovery Mode. Disconnect it from the charger and then press and hold the side button and volume down button simultaneously.
- Keep holding the buttons until you see the iTunes logo on the screen.
- Install iTunes on your Mac if you don't have it already. You can download it from this link: [insert link to iTunes download].
- Open iTunes on your Mac and connect your iPhone 7 Plus to the computer using a USB cable.
- If a pop-up appears on your iPhone screen asking for your device passcode or to "Trust This Computer," follow the onscreen steps.
- If your Mac doesn't recognize your iPhone, click the Finder icon in the Dock to open a Finder window. Look for the iPhone button in the Finder sidebar (below Locations). If you don't see it, reconnect the phone and restart your Mac.
- Once your iPhone is recognized in Finder, click the iPhone button, then click on "General" at the top of the window.
- Click on "Restore iPhone" to begin the restore process.
- Follow the onscreen prompts to confirm the restoration. This will erase all data on your iPhone, so make sure you have a backup if necessary.
