After you complete the previously mentioned steps to restore your Apple account, one of several things might happen. Everything might just turn out perfectly and you suffer no data loss or anything, in which case you don't need to read anymore.

However, it might also happen that your entire iOS device might be reset to factory settings, or you might lose all your data. In this case, your first instinct would be to restore your iTunes or iCloud backup. However, doing this has several disadvantages. The backup file overrides your current iOS device, which means that you might recover your old lost data, but you might lose your new ones. You also can't choose what data you want to restore, so you'll get a lot of stuff that you want to get rid of as well.

We suggest that you use an extractor instead, as it can help you view and selectively restore data from iTunes and iCloud backup. There are a lot of iTunes backup extractors and iCloud backup extractors in the market, however, my recommendation is that you use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (iOS).
