Deleting data off iPhone 4 without upgrading to iOS 7

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6 and I want to delete all my data off the device, but I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7. Is there a way to delete my data without having to upgrade to iOS 7?

  • HT201412 Resetting/Deleting Data off Iphone.

    Hi,
    I need to reset/delete all data off my iphone as I am selling it. However, my touch screen doesn't work so cannot reset it on my phone and it won't allow me to do it on itunes as find my iphone has to be turned off.
    Please help

    If Find My iPhone is set up and active, log into iCloud.com, go to the Find My iPhone section, click on the iPhone to select, click the "I", and erase the iPhone from there.
    Regards.

  • HT201328 Can I unlock att iPhone without upgrading from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6?

    The instruction from ATT about unlocking iPhone said I just need to restore my iPhone using iTunes, then it is unlocked. But I don't want to upgrade to iOS 6. Is it possible?

    This is what I would try first, if it works great (if not you will have to Restore to get the Unlock). Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When this is done you will be at the same iOS as when you started. Before doing this back up your iPhone to iCloud and Sync with iTunes, so your are backed up safely.

    Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

  • How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

    how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • Deleting data in iPhone with deliberate wrong passcode attempts?

    Hi, I would like to know if one can deliberately delete the data in the iphone by 10 wrong passcode attempts, but, without having to restore the phone to factory defaults?
    I have an unlocked iphone 3G running OS 3.1.2, which i am going to give away. Want to delete all my personal data in it but dont want to get rid of unlocking. If i use the "Erase All Content and Settings" under 'General -> Reset' option, it would reset the phone so I have to load the new OS which will remove the unlock. As i said, I dont want that.
    So exploring ways to delete all data from iphone without having to reload the OS. Any ideas on my original question - does deliberate 10 wrong passcode attempts only delete the iphone data or puts me to restore the iphone to factory defaults? If it is going to force me to do restore to factory default and lose the unlock, i will stay away from doing it.
    Appreciate your ideas.

    My mistake, I misread the manual. Here is the infomration from the manual.
    Resetting iPhone
    Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    Erase all content and settings: Connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
    This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
    On iPhone 3GS or later: by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
    On iPhone 3G: by overwriting the data
    Important: You can’t use iPhone while data is being overwritten. This can take up to two hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your iPhone. (On iPhone 3GS or later, the encryption key is removed immediately.)

  • Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

    Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
    Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
    Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
    3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

  • Restoring 5.1.1 without upgrading to iOS 6

    I want to restore my 5.1.1 iOS.  Is there a way to do that without upgrading to iOS 6?

    If you have not yet installed iOS 6, and you have an iOS 5 still on your computer, then you can restore your iPhone with iOS 5 -- I think the help above assumed you had already installed 6 and wanted to step back down to 5 (that is not possible via "standard methods", and is a violation of the TOU here).
    So yes if you still have iOS 5 on your computer you can restore to iOS 5 as long as you haven't updated to 6 -- no requirement to update to iOS 6 if you haven't done so yet.  If you do not have iOS 5 on your computer, then you won't be able to download it from Apple.  There are other sources to get iOS 5 if you Google that, then you should be able to restore to that version as long as what you saved to your computer is the same (or later) version of iOS 5 that you're using now.
    I've updated to iOS 6 and have had no troubles at all, but I won't try to sell you on updating.

  • How can I restore an iPad to factory.....WITHOUT "upgrading" to IOS-*?

    I have an iPad 2 that I want to give to a friend.  I'd like to reset it to factory settings, WITHOUT "upgrading" to IOS-8 (I have a 4 that is upgraded & fine, just have my doubts about 8 on a 2).  I've had it laying around my office and I'm not sure whether I ever backed it up previously at home (know I haven't done it here). 
    Is there a way to avoid IOS-8, or should I just sync it & remove all my music, photos, etc. then give it to him?
    Sam

    K-Tim,
    Thanks for the quick reply.  Will doing that keep the current IOS-7 on it then?
