Can't access my iphone 5s after erase data by 'find my iphone'

I had an iphone 5s and forgot my passcode. I read in apple support that I can erase data by 'Find my iphone' app inside icloud using computer. I did erase the data. However, my phone couldn't start normally. It's been loading for at least 7 hours.
Please tell me how to fix it!

The data that is present on the phone at the time of the reset will not be lost. However, if you already wiped it, then there's no data on the phone to begin with, so it will be fine. If the wipe did not go through and your passcode is still on the phone, then you can try it again after the reset.

  • Can't access Time Machine backups after erase and install

    Had iMac checked by Apple Authorized Service Provider after experiencing multiple problems I couldn't fix. No hardware problem. He did an erase and install of 10.5.8. The machine accesses my Time Machine backup, but in Time Machine/ iMacHome/ Sharing & Permissions says, "You can only read." If I access a folder in Home, like Desktop or Documents, it says,"You have no access." Permissions are locked and grayed out.
    I spent over two hours on the phone with tech support last evening, and he finally said he'd have to turn it over to Apple engineers, which would take a few days.
    Migration assistant only allows "all or nothing" migration, and I need to select just certain folders; I do not want to restore anything that might be corrupted.
    Is it possible I could have an undetected hardware problem? Has anyone else done an erase and install and been able to use Time Machine backups to pick and choose what they wanted to restore?

    Thank you for your reply. The apple support tech should have known this, but he didn't. However, in the course of our two hour discussion he said "Maybe it's because the computer name is different." I hadn't reached the new-set-up stage where I had changed the name of the computer from Apple's default, so I did that. My short name home folder I had already named the same as before, iMacHome.
    But changing the computer name didn't help. After reading your reply, I unlocked the preferences (which were locked and grayed out in TM) to my home folder in the finder and assigned read and write to all folders within for everyone. Back in TM, preferences were no longer grayed out, but changing privileges was. I added iMacHome to the names in addition to staff read & write and everyone read and write. But ImacHome(Me) allows read only, options gray, and even though everyone is read and write, it says "You can only read" and I still cannot access Desktop, Documents, etc...
    Fortunately I have a SuperDuper user file backup that I am restoring from, so all is not lost. But it seems to me TM backups should be readily available, and I want to solve this problem. I may still want to go back to a previous month to recover something. But mostly I'd just like to know that TM is a functional backup. It certainly isn't in my case right now.
    Don't want to migrate the entire home folder. Too risky. Risky enough to bring over Mail and selected Application Support folders and keychains.
    Thanks again. I think your answer is right on, but there must still be something else. I know I have those names correct because I see the old computer name on the sparse bundle, and the old home name in the TM backups. (Haven't read the tips yet. Will do so.)

  • Two days ago, I have a new iphone 4S. After I installed the OS and start the iphone, I found a strange screen says "!9D/JC" that blocks the iphone and I can not access the iphone until click many times on the "Desmiss"  button at the botom of the screen.

    I appreciate if you could provide me support to solve this problem especially it consumes the battery a lot.

    Another post originally dated 5th Feb, 2012 with a slightly different unheard of error "%7D/JC".

    The user also claimed that he didn't meddle with iOS. No solution could be found though.

  • I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?

    I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
    Thanks!

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod),  however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

  • Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

    can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
    needed RCA ... plz help..

    Hi,
    From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • How can i access my iphone when i forgot my password

    i need to access my phone its URGENT!!

    You can't access your iPhone if you forgot your passcode. That's the purpose of a passcode. It wouldn't provide very good security if it was easily bypassed.
    See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 for what to do.

  • Can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute

    i can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute, i need to turn airport off & turn airport on if i left my mbp idle for just 1 minute or less...why this thing happen? anyone can help thanks in advance

    Something that came to mind after rereading you post relates to the particulars of a "hard" reset on the Snow.
    A “hard” reset removes current setting from the base station. You must then connect to the base station using the AirPort Admin Utility and upload AirPort 2.0 or later software to return the base station to its default settings. A base station in a hard reset is only accessible through the LAN port, not via wireless connections ... so attempting to access with the AAU, via a wireless client, will not work.
    The following is the process to reload the AirPort software: AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) : How to reload software from Mac OS X
