HT1937 Can I get my secondhand iPhone 4 reset to factory setting?

Can I get my secondhand iPhone 4 reset to factory setting? It is on uk carrier 3 and I would like to use it on the Tmobile or Virgin carriers and give it to my daughter for her birthday on 16-02-

Resetting an iPhone to factory settigns isn't an issue, you can easily do that by connecting it to iTunes and hitting the "Restore" button.  If the iPhone is currently locked to the UK carrier Three, you won't be able to use it with a SIM card from any other carrier without getting the UK carrier to authorize an unlock.  I believe that the UK carriers all offer this to their customers but it might cost you a fee.  If you are not a customer of Three, you might have more problems getting an unlock form them though.

  • After reset iphone 4 to factory setting, i can't charge my hp

    Hi,
    I resetted iphone 4 to factory setting so i can pass it to my brother since i brought a new iphone 5.  But when my brother took over this iphone 4, he can't charged the iphone & it seems that the battery can't hold the power.   Tried using both charger & USB, the same problem persisted.   Does anybody experience such problom?  thanks.
    Regards,

    I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information."  I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed."  We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

  • HT1766 how can I reset my iphone 5 to factory setting? using iTunes?

    Is there a special reason to do it with iTunes? You can do it on the phone by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
    To do it using iTunes connect the phone to your computer using a USB port directly on the computer, not a USB hub. Click on its name in iTunes, then click Restore iPhone. When the Restore finishes choose to set up as a new device.
    Note that for either method you will have to disable Find my iPhone first, either in Settings/icloud on the phone or by logging in to https://icloud.com/find.

  • Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

  • Can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

    can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

    Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
    First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

    How can I get a new iphone if my screen crack?

    Some Apple Stores can replace the screen of an iPhone 5 for $149. Otherwise, it will be $269 to replace the whole phone (unless you have AppleCare+, in which case it would be $79).

  • How Can I Get A Prepaid iPhone?

    I'm moving from somewhere that doesn't have the iPhone, to somewhere that does, and I want to get an iPhone for a couple months while I'm there. I want to get the prepaid plan so I can just cancel and stop using it when I move back.
    How can I get a prepaid iPhone these days? I hear the 111-11-1111 SSN trick stopped working.

    Yeah if you get low on funds in the account, you can always add more like $10 or $15 to get you through to the next month. Any unused minutes carry over to the next month. I think it starts warning you when you get down to $5 and you have to hear it prompt you to add cash before each call goes through then.

    Another option is if you synced the iPhone with iTunes on the computer. If you did that, go into iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and locate your last backup. If you hover the mouse over that backup, it will display the serial number, phone number, IMEI, and UIUD.

    How can I get into my iPhone without activating it through itunes id

    If the iPhone has Find My iPhone activation lock enabled then you will not be able to activate the iPhone without entering the correct Apple ID and password it is locked to. Sorry but there is no way to bypass this.
