Step 1. Choose your iTunes backup and scan to extract it

Here, all your iTunes backup files of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch which has ever synced with iTunes on this computer will be automatically found and listed. Select the one you want and click Start Scan to extract it.

Then you can selectively mark and recover those you want by pressing the Recover button at the bottom.

Note: The data displayed in the scan result contains deleted and existing items on your device. Both of them have their own color. If you want to separate them, you can use the button on the top: Only display the deleted items.
