Clearing Old Emails and Contacts

I have an old Bold 9870 and now use a Z10. I need to clear all the emails and contacts from the Bold so I can load a new Sim and let someone else use the phone. I cannot see how to clear all the emails from the server or how to prevent the new user reading all my emails and coantacts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks Steve

You'll need to do a security wipe on the phone.
On your homescreen, follow Options>Security>Security Wipe OR Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running. Once on the Security Wipe page, follow the instructions to clear the phone of all personal data.
Let us know if that helps you.

How do I find Outlook identities with all my old emails and contacts?

I recently had to reinstall the OS on my 27" iMac due to the Mavericks update greyed the screen on start up. I went through all the proceedures with a senior Apple technician so that I now have the OS working fine. All the old data was saved onto another iMac 21" using a firewire cable before the OS reinstallation of the 27" iMac and then tranfered back after (all being taken step by step with the Apple tech). I have not been able to find the Oulook identities of the previous email account, therefore I have just set up a new one. I have been intyo Microsoft Utility Database and the only identity to choose from is the new one, obviously I have no contacts or my old emails. I do have a Time Machine back up from a couple of months prior to this happening if that is an option.
Can anyone help with this please?
Many thanks

I have had a look in the time capsule.....bad news on that front, it is empty although it had been regualry updating every hour when it was connected previous (had a bit of a move around with both the office and home). This had happened before and Apple replaced the Time Capsule with a new one along with a new hardrive in the 27" iMac, I wonder if that same problem had not been resolved now seeing the Time Capsule has nothing backed up. My word this is frustrating, the hours I have spent on the phone with Apple tech and still having issues, anyway one thing at a time.
Thanks for the help!

How can i retrieve my old email and contacts lists after software update?

After updating the sfotware on my 3gs phone, i have lost all my contacts, calendar appointments, e-mails, etc. Is there any way to retrieve them?

Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
Has the device been used as designed? If so, simply re-sync them.
Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
Are you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
How much free space is actually on the device?
If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
I can't find a solution!!

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Contact iTunes Customer support... it is not possible to bypass Activation Lock.

Emails and contacts information is missing

I changed computers today and logged into Verizon to set up Outlook Express on the new machine. all of my old emails are gone; as are my contact information. it had old stuff saved from three years ago but nothing recent. Help? how do i retreive my messages and contact info now?

Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

Can't open email and contacts after changing email address in iCloud

I changed my email address in iTunes and iCloud and now I cannot open email and contacts. The beachball appears and after about 2-3 minutes I get a message that the program cannot open. I'm ready to throw my iMac out the window. It is only a couple months old.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

HT204074 I want to delete my old email and use my new email and trying to update but old email keep coming back

I m having trouble with a person not speaking well English . I had fraud on my bank acct and my phone has all info. And I deleted old email and create all new gmail address. Now on my ipad I create new email address. And how will I delete my old email and use my new email, I can't even update cuz my old email still there. Please help me.

Go into the Settings> and then tap on Mail contacts and calendars.
One that screen tap on the email account you want to delete. On the next screen at the bottom it should give you the options to "Delete Account" in red. Tap on that and delete the account from your iPad.

HT4623 I changed my itunes email but my iphone is still my old email, and it prompts me to enter password but it doesnt work. How can I get my new itunes email on my iphone4? Please help.

I changed my itunes email the other day. I need to know how to change my email on my iphone 4 so I can install apps and stuff. How do I change my itunes email on my phone to the same as my computer. Please help bc it prompts me to enter my password but it is my old email and now it wont work. What do I do?

Hi Friend,
Go to: Settings>>iTunes Store and App Store, click in your old email and finalize the section. Here, sign in your new email with new password.

I have a new email address but when I try to open apple ID my iPad automatically opens the old email and says my password is incorrect. I can't get around it.

I have a new email address but when I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID for Apple store my iPad automatically shows my old email and rejects my password. How do I get around this?

I kind of agree with Philly on this one. If you get a new email address, there is no need to establish an entirely new account to use that address. You just need to modify your account to show the new email address. This way all your purchase history and rights to purchased apps stays in place. Creating a new iTunes/Apple account each time your email address changes really doesn't make sense in my opinion. I only point this out for future searchers who end up on this thread.

I have changed my Apple ID from an old email to a new one. But It keeps coming up with my old email and asking for my old password. How do i stop this from happening and get it onto my new one?

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password
